Alex, you also need to add a template to your uploaded image to enable the panorama viewer for that image.

I.e. one of my panoramas contains a link (just have a look at the “edit” tab of that page to see how it works) so that you can see it in the viewer.

I had a quick look at the PDFs (when it was too late to stop you from ordering) and already suspected a problem with the resulting prints.

With a PDF/X prepared for print (i.e. not using an office printing machine but professional offset or digital print) the concept of MediaBox (whole document), TrimBox ( and in this case the BleedBox (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_(printing) ) needs to be taken notice of. Still these are not correctly defined.

Also for print your the contents in your document which hit the edge need to actually extend about 2 or 3 mm around the border of the doc to allow for cutting.

As I’m used to QuarkXpress, InDesign and Illustrator I’ll need to dive into Inkscape and Scribus to come up with a better workflow (and / or a template) for this project.

I´m also always eagerly waiting for your stories, comments, sightings and observations you share with us. Thanks!

Hi Simon, e.g. here is a way deleted by DesertTrip

Hi DesertTrip,

a lot of ways you see in the osm database throughout the USA are imported from TIGER sources and the accuracy isn’t always good. The wiki has more information about this topic and I think here is a good starting point for you WikiProject_United_States -> TIGER_Import. Your in-browser editor iD gives some hints when you click on a way and have a look at the tags (the key / value cobinations): some carry information about “tiger”.

Please make sure you don’t use official maps as your sources for adding street names etc. to the osm database as this will most likely be a case of copying copyrighted data without permission. That’s one of the basics about how we map. Instead there is a nice article about “Good Practices” that hopefully will help you with your further mapping activities. Have fun!

Have a look at the wiki and follow the links to “moped” (also my best bet) and “mofa”. And better communicate with the local mapping community so you all agree on a “best practice” mapping style for these scooter roads. Do you have example photos that describe the difference between “standard” and scooter roads?

Congratulations, with signing up you are now a member of a very large community of contributors to OpenStreetMap! There were over three million people from all round the world who have done what you have just done.

Proceed with the Beginners’ guide to learn how you can easily edit (i.e. add information, provide corrections,…) the map.

If you are not yet sure how to properly correct information and want to report an error that needs to be fixed you can try out leaving a note at that position in the map.

Just please don’t communicate with the community in a way that looks like you’re a troll. See Etiquette and Community Code of Conduct.
