| 86913851 | over 5 years ago | Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your rights of way mapping. However the references you have added are not actual names, the are references give by the local authority. The consensus is that these should be added as prow_ref and not in the name tag. It is perfectly possible that a section of path will have an actual name. More specialis renders of the OSM database will show prow_ref for example http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=17&lat=52.827408&lon=-2.02451 Hope this helps and if you have any questions just ask, either me or we are a helpful bunch on irc irc://irc.oftc.net/osm-gb Cheers Phil |
| 86910890 | over 5 years ago | Please don't do this. This is legal restriction and we need capture what the sign actually says. In the UK all height restrictions are in feet and inches, some are dual signed in metres. Only then should we add the height in metres. A height restriction to 4 decimal places is clearly ridiculous. Cheers Phil |

| 86782307 | over 5 years ago | OSM is primarily a database, the map as displayed on osm.org is just a demonstration. You can choose to render a map yourself, many do such as http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=10&lat=52.1604&lon=-4.085 If you want to see the map in a specific language you can choose https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=cy#9/51.9189/-4.4852 or https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=en#9/51.9189/-4.4852 it is much more than pre-rendered tiles. My satnav is OSMand which allows me to choose the map language. Personally I choose Welsh, brings up some interesting stuff but you could choose English. Cheers Phil |
| 86775440 | over 5 years ago | But you do, it is already in the map data. A mapper has already added a very big clue, designation=public_footpath which indicates that this only has public access rights on foot. Cheers Phil |
| 86761879 | over 5 years ago | However it is still not a public highway, hence it should be mapped as service. Cheers Phil |
| 86775262 | over 5 years ago | Are you sure that bikes cannot use this? Cheers Phil |
| 86775440 | over 5 years ago | This again is not a public road, the existing designation=public_footpath tag should be a clue that it is not a right of way for vehicles. At best this should be highway=service with appropriate access tags, motor_vehicle/bicycle/horse=private, foot=yes. Beyond Penkridge Hall it should certainly still a be track. Cheers Phil |
| 86761879 | over 5 years ago | Changing a track to highway=unclassified seems rather unlikely here. It does not look like a public road from aerial imagery, highway=service would be more appropriate here.
|
| 86782307 | over 5 years ago | You are right, it is a recent edit but it is following international practice, which for nationally important areas does seem to be the way we should be moving. The only caveat I would add with this format is that both name:en and name:cy need to be present to allow rendering in each language. Cheers Phil |
| 86782307 | over 5 years ago | Is there? Could you point me to where this is documented? My understanding is that Mapio Cymru was an independant project to encourage the addition of Welsh placenames to OSM and is not owned by OSM. Cheers Phil Although it doesn't really help as https://openstreetmap.cymru/ is more about placenames and doesn't really show National Parks. |
| 86782307 | over 5 years ago | Hi, I am a bit confused by this edit. In a bilingual country it makes a lot of sense to use the names as they appear on the signs as you enter. However you seem to have undone this and removed the name:en tag. Just wondering why? Cheers Phil |
| 86555102 | over 5 years ago | Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edit, however I have a couple of concerns. Firstly I can find no evidence that Mountsorrel station is called anything other than Mountsorrel. I am puzzled as to why you have added Bond Lane to it. If that is an address then it should be in the addr:street field.
Cheers Phil |
| 86491462 | over 5 years ago | Hi, your mapping is a bit ambiguous here as you have placed the bollard on the connecting node between the road and cycleway. Does the bollard prevent motor vehicles from accessing Wall Close or the cycleway. Do cyclists need to avoid the bollard? Cheers Phil |
| 86433775 | over 5 years ago | Hi, in this edit you have created a duplication. You have created way/814425220 which is a duplication of the existing way/84163888, which carries the right of way. Rather than create duplications please update the existing ways. Cheers Phil |
| 85252062 | over 5 years ago | Also you have google listed as a source, please do not even look at google in terms of OSM mapping as we do not have permission to use it. Diolch Phil |
| 85252062 | over 5 years ago | Landuse should not be joined to the centreline of the road. Please trace its actual extent. Cheers Phil |
| 85223479 | over 5 years ago | Please do not duplicate names. In the case of schools the name should be on the campus only, the building should be tagged simply as building=school. Cheers Phil |
| 86295499 | over 5 years ago | Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit however you should only add objects that exist in the real world. I have removed this as there is no park here. |
