Great thank you

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Something has gone a little wrong here, are you saying that the pub has closed and that it has become a Costa. If so the amenity=pub needs to be changed to amenity=cafe.
If you need any help with this, please give me a shout.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your contribution.
One small issue, I imagine that the guest house is the nearby building?
It is normal to place the node inside the building, and preferable to tag the building with the the guest house tags, rather than create a separate node.
Give me a shout if you need any help.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Is the name of this road really Fidlers Lane (Private)? That seems very unlikely.
If there are access restrictions then those should be used, such as motor_vehicle=private, foot=yes, bicycle=yes maybe.

Hi
I assume the bridleway should connect to Horse Hill and is not a dead end here?

Cheers Phil

Please try to keep edits to a sensible area, this would be much nicer if it had been two separate change sets.

Hi
Welcome to OSM.
The correct way to tag a closed pub, that still looks like a pub, is to change the tag to disused:amenity=pub rather that add closed to the name.
Nice edit though, have fun editing OSM.
Cheers Phil

Is your business really located inside Access Storage, seems unlikely to me.

Sorry, you cannot copy from google images either.

38394686 almost 10 years ago

Hi
You are correct, you must not look at google maps to confirm the location. The preferred way of contributing to openstreetmap is to visit the locations and if necessary take photos yourself, although if you have visited then you memory would be good enough. The businesses concerned can obviously add their locations from local knowledge.
There is http://www.mapillary.com/ which contains photos which you can use, but so far it is fairly limited.
Some things can be mapped remotely from bing aerial imagery which is included in osm editors, such as woodland, water, buildings, hedges but shops do need a lot of legwork to map them properly.

In this case the address given on the menu is not sufficient to locate an individual business, particularly on a long road such as this. You should be aware that copying from copyright sources such as google maps is absolutely against the rules. These are pointed out in osm.org/copyright, osm.org/welcome and osm.wiki/Beginners_Guide_1.1.
I quote "OSM contributors are reminded never to add data from any copyrighted sources (e.g. Google Maps or printed maps) without explicit permission from the copyright holders."
Any contributions which we suspect have contravened these rules should be reverted.
As an aside the website tag should contain the url of the business, which this one has, rather than to a 3rd party listing site.

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Your edits seem to be over a very wide area, I doubt you have visited them all.
What is the source of these edits? how did you know exactly where these take aways are located?
Thanks Phil

Permissive access is unusual on a residential road, what actual signage is there to say this? Do I really need permission to even walk down this road?
On bing I can see a connection to Main Road, what has changed here? Is there really no pedestrian connectivity?
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM.
You seem to have left Dinch Hill Lane as a inaccessible 'island'. On bing imagery I can see road connections to both Main Road and Dancing Hill.
Have there been changes since the imagery? Is Dinch Hill Lane really totally disconnected from Main Road? Maybe that section should be a footway or cycleway?
If you need any help, just ask.
Cheers Phil

I have reverted this change, Ride with GPS is not using OSM for routing.
OSM routing is accessed by the routing button to the right of the search box.

Please can you point me to the discussion about these mass edits and how you see it a a typo?
The space separator is optional, consumers are able to handle speed limits in either format.
Are you able to point me to a time when an OSM based satnav has given you misleading information due to there not being a space?

Hi Claire
I am a little confused by comment Ride with GPS, then OSM.
There are two cycle routers available on the main openstreetmap site, did you check that those were also giving errors?

You do need to check those to ensure that the problem is in OSM.
Until now I had never heard of Ride with GPS, but having played with I can be pretty certain that whilst the map tiles displayed are openstreetmap, I don't think the routing does, that is I know misleading.

I would suggest that we revert these changes and then if your routing problem returns we should investigate the cause.

Have you looked at cycle.travel for cycle routing? It uses openstreetmap and is run by an openstreetmapper who is a very keen cyclist and he does understand routing.
Cheers Phil

Hi
This node should not be blocking routing, in fact it was put there to improve it.
If this was causing a router problems, then the developers of the router should be informed so that the router can be fixed.
What router are you using?
Cheers Phil

Thank you

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Thank you for your additions but I think a few things may have gone wrong.

It is unlikely that number 7 Catterick Way is in the middle of the road. House nodes should be in their correct position. It would also be helpful to add the other numbers within the road.
You have also deleted a footpath which leads from the city to the historic Hamilton village, I find it very hard to believe that such a path could have been extingushed without a large amount of press coverage.
Usually we ask developers to incorporate existing PROW into the plan in green space, maybe sections will be along a road and generally developers oblige. Are you really sure it has gone? Is there maybe a gap in the housing on that alignment. I would suggest that we restore the path for the time being and them maybe update it where it is now surfaced or part of a road.
If you need any help with this, just ask.

Cheers Phil
