Hi Eran
Thank you but how will you do that? What sources are you using?

Thanks Phil

Hi Eran
Without going and having a look there is no way to know what the purpose of this gate is, there is unfortunately no [email protected] available. My guess is that it is to prevent it being used as rat run so possibly motor_vehicle=private but that is just a guess.
Cheers Phil

Are pedestrians and cyclist really not allowed to pass this gate. It seems very unlikely to me.

Hello, please can you tell me why you changed this section of cycleway in a residential road?
Did you visit recently, what source are you using?

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Thank you for your addition. The name tag is for the actual name, we do not put the postcode in the name. I have moved it to the postal code tag although it is normal to put it on the actual addresses. Post is not delivered to the road.
Also it seems a bit odd that these streets only have an English name, is there really no welsh name on the signs?
Cheers Phil

Why do you say 'not valid'? I can see it on aerial imagery.

Hi, welcome to OSM. In OSM we map what exists on the ground. Waitrose warehouse and My Local are not parks. This is vandalism and is being reverted.

I have seen the cycleway, the signs were a bit hidden when I was driving.
It is not oneway however, there are no such signs and it would be very unusual to have a cycleway that is legally oneway.

Permissive means that a landowner has given permission for the public to use paths on their land. That is a very inappropriate tag to use on a public highway.

Maybe they can be different, but that is no reason to hold back improvements in mapping technique.

Actually I am not actually sure why a light rail would be mapped differently to any other station.

I have never heard of OpenAndroMaps, but they should update to reflect improved mapping. We should not tag for the renderer which changing these stations appears to be doing.

The wiki is intended to document how mappers map, it is not a set of instructions and should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Mapping evolves over time and I suspect this page has not been updated yet.

Whilst an underground station would be difficult to map as an area and a node is appropriate an above ground station can easily be defined as an area and provides a better map.

Hi, I am not sure I understand why you have changed this? The wiki says stations can be mapped as areas or nodes.

But we map what we see on the ground, we do not have permission to map traffic orders.

Which brings me to way/568192362
What evidence is there that this is a cycleway, there are no signs and it just looks like a bit of pavement (sidewalk). There are no markings saying this is oneway.

What is the source of these edits?

Hi, way/568194283 is a shared use cycleway/footway. Why would foot access be permissive?

Hi, there is no need to tag foot=yes or bicycle=yes on trunk roads. It is assumed to be allowed unless signed otherwise. It is also not just allowed, they are right of way so the correct tagging would be *=designated.
Unnecessary tagging just makes it harder for mappers to spot the important tags.
Cheers Phil

You have also removed the building and place of worship tags.

I have reverted this

Hi, welcome to OSM.

I am a little confused by this change as this has always been Church of England, yet you have changed the denomination to Catholic. I believe that this edit should be undone.

Cheers Phil

Hi, I am not sure that this will fix the issue with navmii. Oneway is unnecessary on a roundabout

Looking back at the history of this, the problem you are seeing was fixed a year ago and based on my experience of navmii the map data has not been updated. I did express my concern to them at SOTM Brussels. They lack resources to provide timely updates.

You may want to try an alternative navigation app which uses OSM such as OSMand or maps.me.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I do believe that this change should be undone.

It does need discussion, I and other mappers do consider these to be different
things, or at least require subtagging.
Maybe souvenir should be a subtag of gift, but simply removing that important piece of information means that surveyed information is lost.

On the discussion page osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:shop%3Dgift a very good comment has been added "For me, a souvenir shop is where you stop by far away from home to take something along for you, a gift shop is where you get in on the way to the birthday party you forgot about. They are two quite distinct concepts."

It also says on the wiki page "Automated edits are strongly discouraged unless you really know what you are doing!"

The wiki is supposed to document how mappers, map it should not be taken as an instruction on how to map or what is right or wrong.

Cheers Phil
