160038778 about 1 year ago

Hi, thanks for your mapping. Just wondering what level of checking you are doing and if you have surveyed/have local knowledge?

For instance, you have changed cork to artificial grass in this changeset, which is incorrect and suggests you might not have checked previous changesets and comments on this object changeset/156687932 or checked the wikipage for surface=cork.

As another example, way/198626878 has been changed to surface=asphalt, but the previous tagging suggests it is only partly asphalt. It might have been more helpful to remove the surface value entirely (or move it to a description) which would then prompt surveys and refinement in apps like StreetComplete.

way/968877478 Could this also have meant timber rails?

Messaging the original/previous mapper or leaving a map note might be a better approach where the actual surface value is less obvious/undocumented.

Thanks, and happy mapping :)

The doors through to the yard at the Brown Cow are on the right after the bar, which would be hard to see from the front.

The updated tagging on Cornish looks fine, thanks :)

Might actually be better as a node as I think the pharmacy is only on the ground floor, with student flats above.

No worries, and thanks for the follow-up edit (changeset/158415934). :)

Hi, thanks for your StreetComplete mapping in Morecambe. Just be careful to check the tactile paving quests - from experience the bus stops in Morecambe usually don't have true tactile paving, but just a smooth red/yellow paving stone to indicate where to board. Whilst a visual indicator, it's not textured tactile paving, so can't be followed with a cane as per the wiki definition: tactile%20paving=*

Thanks for fixing. highway=unclassified would also work here, perhaps more so given the commercial character of this street.

For anyone else reviewing this, St Martin's Hill is incorrectly coloured as a main road on OS OpenMap. W&F Council record it as an unclassified road on their network map, and there is no signage on the ground to indicate otherwise.

I used service=drive-through on the click and collect lane at Sainsbury's, Morecambe. AIUI, staff load the shopping into a car boot without the driver leaving their car, so the wiki definition seems to work here.

PS If you thought changeset/113968287 was "excessive", then you've reached a new level of silly car park detail today! Great work :D

Thanks, yes this station is locked overnight: https://cumbriacrack.com/2022/08/17/chaos-as-train-passengers-locked-in-at-lake-district-station/

Hi, thanks for your detailed edits and updates here. If the building was previously and purposely built as a hotel, then please use building=hotel and building:use=dormitory building:use=*

Hi, yes it is a bit bouncy! It's Corkeen according to https://planning.lancaster.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=S4KOKCIZH2Z00&activeTab=summary

I can't say that it's ever occurred to me to tag the surface material of notice boards! The three existing uses of surface=cork are all playgrounds. Hopefully the primary tag will help data consumers a bit, but a more specific surface tag is also a good idea.

Hi, the fake grass has recently been removed and replaced with Corkeen surfacing. It is already included in the pedestrian area polygon, but if you wanted to micromap different areas for different surfaces, perhaps use surface=cork? (3 uses worldwide)

Just seen your changeset changeset/156608934

That looks more like it, thanks for fixing.

Hi, in this changeset you've separated - and created a gap between - Caxton House and Orrest Cottage, yet the building are joined together in reality. Is there a reason you made this edit or were you trying to achieve something else? :)

It's a general recreation ground. Not sure if there's any cricket club based there atm, might just be Caton United using it.

Hi, for future reference, please mark closed shops as disused (using the disused: prefix and old_name tag) rather than deleting them. That way, the history is preserved and it's much easier for local mappers to later update to a new use. If you scroll down to the all tags section in the editor, you can change the tagging to (for example) disused:amenity=restaurant and old_name=Capri, keeping the addr tags as they are. :)

Hi, welcome to OSM. Cumbria is no longer a two tier county, following the creation of the two unitary authorities on 1 April 2023. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria#Governance for details. As such, the previous tagging should be restored. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your recent StreetComplete mapping in Saveley-in-Cartmel. Please note that only signed/commonly used names should use the name tag; reference numbers should use the ref tag. For C and U numbers, as they are usually unsigned in England, please use the official_ref tag. (see osm.wiki/Roads_in_the_United_Kingdom#Tagging_road_numbers)

I've fixed the tagging here in changeset/154265634 :)

Hi, if it's a hardcore/sub-base sort of surface at present, the "compacted" option is probably a better fit. Fingers crossed the issues get resolved soon.
