OpenStreetMap
Latest Update from Henderson.
All roads, sidewalks and parking lots were traced out. Traced out some of the park details as well. Unfortunately not too many commercial details or bing street side photos are available of this small town, so cant add too much more information such as stop signs, or storefronts.
For the next town, ill probably do something in the north north east.
Also, anyone have any updates as to when bing will work in JOSM again?

You can see efforts to understand and rectify the Bing images problem here:- https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bing-imagery-glitch-in-josm-error-attribution-is-not-loaded-yet-and-blank-tiles/

It’s great seeing progress like this ☺
One tiny critique, if I may … several streets such as Birch Street, Elm Street, and 17th Street could benefit from being straightened.
Thanks.

Nick, I use JOSM, do you know if there are any tools that can straighten a whole section? I usually try to line up the roads with the middle divider line, or the placement line if more than one lane. Thanks!

You seem to be referring to aligning an OpenStreetMap way to the corresponding real-world feature. I’m talking about making the nodes that form the road appear in straight line (avoiding slightly “wiggly roads”, if you will).
In JOSM you can select a way and press “L” to arrange its nodes in a line. This works well in places laid out on a grid. Note though that if a road joins another at a non-90 degree angle, you will either need to select the nodes you want to align with the lasso tool, or select the way and then, from the Selection menu, choose Select Way Nodes. Then deselect nodes of the way that you don’t want to align.
