Don't use the "name" field to describe the object -- it's clear that what you're adding is a bench from the fact that it's tagged as a bench.

If something doesn't have a name (and benches almost never do), it's fine to leave the "name" field blank.

When you're adding businesses to the map, it's helpful if you tag them with what sort of business they are, to let people search for them by type as well as by name. For example, "Rod's Harvest Foods" sounds like it's a supermarket.

The editor's got a huge selection of tags you can choose from, both generic ("restaurant", "post office") and specific ("McDonalds", which automatically adds the "fast food" tag, the "burger" cuisine, and fills in the name).

For a road that seems like it should connect but doesn't, there's a way to indicate that, but it's not the most obvious thing in the world. Click on the end of the road (you should get a pulsing circle to show that just the end has been selected rather than the whole road) and search for a tag called "no exit". I've updated the road in question to match your description.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

A couple things to keep in mind for future mapping:

1) The usual practice for mapping schools is to put the school name on the school grounds, and only put a name on the school building if it's different from the school name.

2) "Living Street" is pretty much purely a European concept. You can find the tags for ordinary streets by searching for "road".

3) Make sure the roads you're adding are connected properly. The extension of Clodfelter Road you added was only connected at one end.

I've fixed the problems for you here, but it's something to remember.

When you're adding a building, there's an easy way to get square corners: once you've drawn and tagged it, right-click and select "Square" (the third option from the right-click menu), or highlight it and hit the "S" key. The editor will adjust the corners to the nearest 90-degree or 45-degree angle.

The original tracing of the building was more accurate. The reason it appears to have a point on the west side is that the satellite wasn't quite directly overhead when it took the picture. This makes the peak of the roof appear to stick out to one side.

This building contains a Target, a Best Buy, and probably at least one not-yet-mapped business between the two. Putting the name "Target" on it is both incorrect and redundant with the existing mapping of the Target store.

Are you sure these are reservoirs? From the air, they look rather like settling ponds for treating sewage.

Glassman, Tori B is editing with Maps.me. From what I understand of how the program works, they've got no control over how often or how much they upload at any given time.

I think there are a whole lot of people who would be rather unhappy to find you've made their houses part of a state park.

Many of the programs and websites that make use of OpenStreetMap only update once a month, if that. Because of this, it's not advisable to map things (such as the typical fireworks stand) that only exist for a few weeks every year.

When you're mapping a stream, draw it from upstream to downstream, so that the flow direction will show up properly on the map. I've fixed Ashley Creek for you, but keep it in mind for the future.

The school name is already present on the school grounds. No need to repeat it on the school building.

Is there a reason why you're insisting this is a drydock rather than a pier?

Don't vandalize the map. It's likely to get your account blocked.

You've dragged two intersections across the map, connecting random roads, and you've moved a building to the middle of a third intersection. I've fixed them, but please be more careful in the future.

The "Car Parking" tag is really for purpose-built parking areas, not places where people happen to leave cars sometimes.

If something doesn't have a name, you can just leave the "name" field blank.

Please use meaningful changeset comments. A single period doesn't say anything, and is a pain to try to click on in the edit history.

There's a "Depot Park" in the area already. If you need to make it larger, drag the corners, don't draw a second copy of the park over it.
