I'm used to the Idaho Panhandle Forests, where forest service roads often have both a name ("Trestle Creek Road") and a number ("275"), and signs might use either (or occasionally both). If you don't think it's signed "Big Foot" anywhere, then removing the name is fine with me.

I try to keep an eye on everything in the Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho/Western Montana area. This is right at the southeastern corner of what I watch. I'm busy catching up on the backlog from being on vacation for a week.

The Census Bureau seems to think it's called "Big Foot". No idea if they're right or not -- they've got a habit of being wrong in rural areas.

The building looks decidedly apartment-like, the website is a GoDaddy landing page, and a Google search for "Baker Law Office" shows a number of addresses that are decidedly closer to downtown. Are you sure you mapped this correctly?

Please do your stuff in smaller areas at a time. It makes it easier to find mistakes, such as how you moved a fire hydrant in Los Altos, California, into the middle of the street.

Please also be more descriptive with your changeset comments. I'm assuming that moving the fire hydrant was a mistake, because fire hydrants in the United States are not normally found in the middle of the street. A better comment (eg. "Improved building alignment") would make it clear that moving the fire hydrant was unintended.

When you're editing a roundabout, make sure you don't connect an entrance road directly to an exit road. That creates a "short circuit" and causes routing software to give incorrect instructions.

For example, with the "4th Avenue" entrance connected directly to the "West Marie Street" exit, a router will ignore the roundabout entirely; the curve is gentle enough that it might not give any instructions at all. With the two separated, it will give instructions such as "take the first exit from the roundabout".

I've deleted Creedonia.

Don't add fictional things to the map -- it's a good way to get yourself blocked. If you want to create a fictional country, OpenGeoFiction.net is a project that lets you do so.

About a third of the buildings you added had "building=yes" on their nodes as well as on the way. I've fixed it, but you might want to re-evaluate whatever your workflow is to keep it from happening in the future.

I've reduced many of the trails to T1 or T2 based on my (sometimes rather hazy) memory. I've left Paintbrush Canyon at T3 because I've never hiked it, and in the aerial imagery, parts of the upper reaches look like they might be a bit tricky.

Zero lanes on the freeway off-ramp? That doesn't seem correct to me.

The place was named by French fur traders in the 1700s -- you can probably find at least as many French spellings as there were traders.

"Dock" is for drydocks and similar ship-repair facilities. The tag you're looking for is "Pier", and the editor won't let you put it on points, only on lines and areas.

As far as I can tell, the original city line was correct: the Spokane city limits run down the west side of Havana, the Spokane Valley city limits run down the east side, and Havana itself is in the county.

You might want to work on your aim. A number of the crossings you've added recently have been close to, but not actually on, the point where a pedestrian way intersects the road.

When you're editing in Spokane County, Esri World Imagery is far sharper and better-aligned than the other options, and is nearly as new as Bing or DigitalGlobe Standard.

Where are you getting the route of this railroad from? I'm not seeing evidence of it in the aerial imagery, and neither the 1903, 1961, nor 1987 USGS topo maps of the area show it.

61484899 over 7 years ago

Where are you getting the name "3I" from? Looking at historic topo maps, it appears to be "state highway 31", and I can't find a reference to it that's less than 68 years old.

61205111 over 7 years ago

Where are you getting that this has a traffic signal? It was a four-way stop when I drove through a few weeks ago, and I haven't heard of any construction since.

61181396 over 7 years ago

Where are you getting the street layout of Tecomate from? It doesn't show up on any of the aerial imagery.

Don't vandalize the map.

Please stop making changes based on outdated maps. Inland Empire south of 23rd hasn't been an arterial since it was cut off from US-195.
