I virtually passed all those islands, while updating the various paddlecraft launches to match the Wiki.

See the Michigan Wiki page for the cliff notes and links to the sources.

This, right after having a pull request accepted for new Paddling categories on OpenStreetBrowser.

I'm curious, as to where you sourced the names of the islands?

Also, we are still meeting every month. If ever you get a minute.

That is hilarious, it was me. Don't remember why I did that. Usually, for something like that, I would have a Mapillary photo of the sign. My "photographic" memory. 😉

Sorry. I had my phone and a spare moment to update more tags to the new hotness, from whitewater to canoe. After just passing through Grand Ledge, where lots of nameless things are named. I jumped to conclusions without checking the facts.

Here is a fun link.

Please, only name things that truly have a name.
See "Don't use name tag to describe things" at osm.wiki/Good_practice

That entire page is well worth reading.

This is not a slipway, it is a canoe=put_in . Please take a look at the slipway, canoe and Michigan wiki pages.

No need to add horse=no. The path has already been designated for unsegregated bicycle and foot traffic only. Though... there are probably no signs stating those restrictions (we are supposed to only map ground truth).

Have a look at the Michigan Wiki for a nice primer.

While you are there, we would be glad to have you join the meetup tomorrow night mentioned in the Community section.

Nice to see! I just updated the canoe/paddle craft/water trail mapping guidance on the Michigan wiki page and have _just_ started to work on a OpenStreetBrowser category to show them. In fact, it was how I found you had mapped this. You can follow along, and/or join in, here:

Found this a year later, but this was correctly tagged as highway=path

A cycleway is only for bicycles (and implies a more freeway like experience).
Have a look at the following pages:
* osm.wiki/Michigan#Common_Tagging_Schemes
* osm.wiki/Mountain_biking

Also see the Michigan Wikipage for information about our monthly meetings.

Very good. Just wanted to make sure.

If you were not already aware of this, Michigan mappers have been meeting each month. We would be glad to have you join us.
osm.wiki/Michigan#Events

We could talk about that "mapping multi-use paths as only cycleways" problem. 😉

Personally, I point people to the common tagging scheme section of Michigan's Wiki page.

Should a yearly race really be mapped as a bicycle route?
osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features

Hmm...
* building=roof
* covered=*

I would lean toward "covered=yes" on the way, connected to the edges of the building's roof, as they suggest.

<shrug>

Wait a minute... I think I know who this is. Changed your username?

I think you would want to make the roof a separate building part. Otherwise you'll levitate the entire building. 😏

Not sure if I can make the next one, however, I'd like to invite you to join other Michigan mappers who have been meeting each month. See the community section of our Wiki page.
osm.wiki/Michigan#Community

This would be a good discussion topic.

* I'd also...

Saw the "Proposed Ramp" in OsmAnd. It likely shows, might even route, in other systems. Systems like my car, that only refreshes it's map data every year or two. 😏

Have a look at "Lifecycle prefixes".
osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Also, "Names are not for descriptions"

I've also like to invite you to join other Michigan mappers who have been meeting each month. See the community section of our Wiki page.

Are service ways under roofs really tunnels?
