grupo no oficial, algo más activo que el foro, y para asuntos más efímeros: https://t.me/Comunidad_OSM_Panama

foro hospedado por OSM: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=61

hola y que recibas la bienvenida a OSM! hay una pequeña comunidad panameña, y por supuesto una enorme comunidad internacional para que encuentres la manera mejor de apoyar OSM. con gusto mejoraría tu contribución, pero no veo qué es lo que mapeaste.

boh, raro lo que dices. según lo que veo en el historial OSM, los nombres "Calle Vieja", "Calle Los Pinos" y "Calle Rosibel" sólo aparecieron con este conjunto de cambios.

hola … inquietud: añadiste unos nombres, mencionando como fuente las fotos aéreas. cómo es eso?

about point (3), have a look at the two buildings 1043689530 and 1043689531. you copy-pasted them, giving them precisely the same shape. that's not correct, because they are basically the mirror image of each other.
in Panama we have a Telegram group, and a forum, be welcome to ask the local community how you can help most effectively.
thanks, Mario.

hi. thank you for trying to help in Panama. I see you're using iD and you're focusing on new built areas, and I think you could do better if you would:
1) prepare the area either aligning already existing elements to the imagery you're going to use or align the imagery to the existing elements. (the way you did it, roads almost touch buildings on one side, while it should be symmetrical.)
2) you would use some tool that's dedicated to drawing buildings, like the buildings_tools in JOSM. that way you will be able to combine speed with quality.
3) in new built areas the shapes of the buildings are based on an initial shape, and then each gets expanded. it is absolutely true that most buildings are very similar, but not so much as you did here.
4) in iD you would want to square buildings if they are square.

hola. te comento pues tengo la impresión que no hiciste lo que querías. aquí mencionas borrar una relación, sin embargo sólo borraste el "admin_level" de una relación. además: antes de que le quitaras el "admin_level", las dos relaciones "Canto del Llano/canto del llano" se referían a dos entidades administrativas diferentes, una de nivel 8 (corregimiento) y la otra 10 ("barrio").

doesn't matter. there's so many ways to help the map. just keep your eyes open, trust our map (not blindly), and enjoy.

precisely! and each post office in Panamá has a code, or reference, composed of 4 digits. it's useful to know it if you need to sent mail to someone in El Valle "poste restante".

hola, gracias por añadir esa oficina!
será que tienes la oportunidad de validar su código numérico?
puedes seguir uno de estos dos casos, o combinarlos:
node/8425533885
way/687472698
gracias y feliz mapeo.

hola. parece que te estés dedicando ahora a la copia masiva en Nicaragua. datos Ineter y Sinapred. supongo que no tengas autorización.

realmente no entiendo esta urgencia de copiar datos propietarios en lugar de contribuir información realmente libre.

hi. you're not a local person, yet you're adding and fixing names. what sources are you using, besides aerial photos?

hi, thanks for the question. I'm no expert and I do not use either programs you mention, my hint would be to use OSMTracker for Android (it has a good integration with the OSM database and is very lightweight).
osm.wiki/OSMTracker_(Android)

it's one of the long-term "classic" programs.

check also this page: osm.wiki/Public_transport/Tracking_tutorial, if you will be using OSM Tracker, the only preparation you need is to connect the program to your OSM account. steps 1-6 of the 'Get on the bus/train/ship etc' section all apply. step 7 would be to upload the route as 'identifiable', and to give it a reasonable description so other mappers will understand it is a bus route.

hola. cuál otros mapas? (I'm living here, and I must tell you, this "PH" is sort of mistery to me here in Panamá.) corrections to names should come from direct observation, not from "other maps". please declare your sources, thank you!

hola, me sacas de la duda … en el changeset escribes "source=bing", pero por supuesto que las fronteras en el mar no son visibles en las fotos aéreas … y bueno la duda es cuál sería la fuente.

hola are you in the area? travelling by local buses to rural areas maybe? would you consider recording traces that would allow us document bus routes? would be very useful, as there's very little of it now.

... you see, i've not been there, i'm glad that you share your observations with the OSM community. i was alerting you about the limited acceptation of the value fell for the tag natural.
hope you didn't again meet a vast not accessible private area!
enjoy your adventure!

as far as I understood, having quickly tried to read the discussion around the tagging and rendering of natural=fell, the community seems to have decided that natural=fell is a generic tagging, and the "carto" team does has decided not to render it. My impression is that they prefer that we be more specific, as argued in the above linked github comment.
I don't have a strong opinion on this, I just notice that the area isn't rendered, and I guess that better no rendering than the previous situation which you corrected.

la salida que existe no es una carretera, es un carril.

por supuesto, y por eso te digo. Pusiste "Ñurum" como valor del "official_name", y me parece que tu comentario argumente el revés de lo que hiciste. (sé qué es una shwa, que los indígenas de por aquí reprensentan con la ü.)
