A tip for when you're editing in Spokane County (or, as here, just over the border): Esri World Imagery is far sharper than any of the other options, and nearly the newest.

Please don't add fake objects to the map -- it just makes more work for those of us who need to clean up afterwards. If you want to map for Pokemon, there are plenty of real parks you can add.

Don't use Google Earth as a source for mapping. The Google terms of service and OpenStreetMap policy both prohibit it, and Google tends to get upset about this in legally unpleasant ways.

(Additionally, it's likely that Google Earth got this wrong: the Kootenai National Forest website, which *is* a permissible source, calls it "Barron Creek Boating Site".)

I got out my most recent survey photos, and as of September 24 of last year, the northernmost section (the part mapped as a service road) was still a bare dirt track, showing no rehabilitation effort. Do you have more recent observations?

Is the northernmost section of the road actually being rehabilitated?

Is there a reason why you moved a large number of objects ten meters to the southwest?

What did you actually do in this changeset? "Adding buildings" isn't an accurate description of a changeset that moves thousands of nodes scattered around the world, but doesn't add anything.

Did you forget to add a tag to the way you created here?

In case you didn't know, you can change the background imagery the editor's showing you by clicking the "Background settings" tab (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper) and selecting from the menu that comes up. In the Spokane County area, the "Esri world imagery" option is much sharper than the default Bing imagery.

I know there's some major construction going on in this area right now. Do these buildings represent the new construction, old work, or are they in an area unaffected by the construction?

Is there a reason why you deleted Greenacres Airport? There's a very runway-looking structure about a mile southwest of the former node location, right where the FAA's records say the airport is.

55218284 almost 8 years ago

Is there a reason why you've duplicated a number of existing roads? A changeset comment of "#msftbusinessapps" isn't very informative.

I don't know. Address points on roads are sufficiently out of the ordinary that I've got no idea if it will be handled properly or not.

Could you please do your "stuff" in smaller areas at a time? A change like this that includes things in both Washington and Alabama will show up in the map history for virtually the entire United States.

54944859 almost 8 years ago

Please don't abbreviate street names. It's easy for a computer to convert a word to an abbreviation if it needs to save space, but it's very difficult to go the other direction. (For example, should "St" be expanded to "Street", "State", or "Saint"?)

54931135 almost 8 years ago

Could you please pay attention to the changes you're making? The "band" tag on node/1825813421 wasn't an error (it refers to a radio frequency range), while the value for the "phone" tag that you changed to "contact:phone" on ways 161636552 and 256877327 had the meaningless value "+1-"

The usual ways to add addresses are to either trace a building and put the address data on it, or add an isolated point and put the address data on that. I don't know how map software will handle addresses placed on the ends of roads.

If I'm understanding the meaning of the "County Road" tag correctly, I think the best thing to do would be to use the "ref" tag with a value of "CR ###", similar to how state highways get "ref" tags such as "WA 21".

Some of the hotels you've added are on decidedly warehouse-looking buildings. Are you sure you've got the locations right?

Naoliv, I'm pretty sure the app in question is "Pokemon Go": it doesn't spawn Pokemon on school grounds, but it does spawn them on meadows, grass, forests, and sand -- or in other words, exactly the detail that Darth_Vader has added to Carolina Springs Elementary School.
