I don't think "Servpro of Northwest Spokane" is part of the roadway of Fir Avenue. Could you move it to the building the business is in and mark it with the appropriate business type?

The reason you're not seeing the list of business types in the editor is because you've literally attached the node you created to the road -- the only things the editor expects there are road features like crosswalks and traffic lights. If you delete the current version and instead create a "point" in the middle of the appropriate building, you can use the "search" box to look through a list of hundreds of types of features you can mark it with.

I think someone should invent a time machine so I can go back in time and swat whoever thought "national_park" was a good tag name for "large, generally wilderness-style recreation area".

I *really* don't like the idea of calling Riverside State Park a "national park": it's an administrative conglomerate of all sorts of things, ranging from the highly-protected Little Spokane area, to Parks Department land, to DNR campgrounds, to land owned by Avista that was logged earlier this year.

Is this a ski lift, or a trail following a lift? The usual tagging for lifts is "aerialway=chair_lift" (or other "aerialway=" tags for other types of lift; see osm.wiki/Piste_Maps#Ski_lifts)

I'm not comfortable with armchair-mapping the trails in Mount Spokane State Park.

1) There's been some re-alignment and closure of trails in the park in the past decade. Some Strava tracks correspond to routes that are now closed.

2) Some of the trails in the park are former logging roads that are maintained for vehicle access in the event of a forest fire, and are better mapped as "highway=track" rather than "highway=footway". This isn't always obvious from the air.

3) *Nobody* has a good map of the park trails. Every map I've looked at has major errors, ranging from showing trails that don't exist and omitting ones that do, to routes that are actually a mile or two longer than shown, to trails that haven't had the brush cleared from them in a decade or more.

In this edit, one of the two trails you've added has been closed for revegetation for a few years, while the other looked like an informal trail when I mapped its junction with Trail 160, and it may no longer be passible after last fall's windstorm.

Did something go wrong with this edit? You've got a couple of nodes tagged as "railway=signalGEIGER JCT".

Are you sure you've got "Boat Ramp" tagged properly? The name and position imply it's a "leisure=slipway", but you've marked it as an "amenity=parking".

I was hoping you'd know of a better tagging. This sort of situation is exactly the sort of thing "protect_class" is supposed to be for; too bad getting it to render has been an unresolved issue for years.

My personal choice would be to combine the Indian Canyon and Palisades sections under the name "Palisades Park" (since that's what's on all the signs), while leaving Rimrock Conservation Area.

Most of the Greenwood/101/Railroad area is legally part of Greenwood Cemetery, but is de-facto part of the park. The current boundary doesn't represent either the on-the-ground usage or the legal ownership, and I'd like to see the boundaries adjusted to match one or the other.

And finally, mapping a rough, unofficial trail is exactly what the "smoothness=very_bad" and "informal=yes" tags are for.

I plan to head out there this weekend, and I'll be updating the map based on what I find.

Sontag Park's a bit tricky: ownership of the land it's on is split between Nine Mile Falls School District and the State Parks Department.

My decision on where to split between "Nine Mile Elementary", "Sontag Park", and "Riverside State Park" was somewhat arbitrary: I put everything that looked school-like in the school area, the natural-looking forest in Riverside, and the developed area and the parking lot in Sontag.

I've shrunk Sontag Park back down (this time with the playground -- if nothing else, your edit pointed out that I'd forgotten to include it the first time around) and re-expanded Riverside.

Page Airport appears to be gone: the older Bing and Mapbox imagery shows whiteXs at the ends of the runway indicating closure, while large parts of the runway appear overgrown in the latest Mapbox images.

41197664 over 9 years ago

Are you sure about the in-use status of this runway? The white Xs painted at the ends of the runway in the latest imagery indicate long-term closure, in which case it should probably be tagged as "disused:aeroway=runway"

Where are you getting the boundaries of Sontag Park from? The boundaries on the ground are a bit fuzzy in the area, but as far as I can tell, most of what you've got as Sontag is actually part of Riverside State Park.

In particular, the parking area at 47.78397 N, 117.54904 W is definitely part of Riverside -- if you park there without a Discover Pass, you'll get fined.

There are some major problems with this edit:

1) Indian Canyon Park does not exist except on paper. On the ground, every entrance sign, boundary marker, and trailhead map calls it part of Palisades Park.

2) The boundaries you have for "Indian Canyon Park" don't match either the on-the-ground boundaries or the county's land-ownership records.

3) "Rimrock Conservation Area" has a slightly greater degree of existence, in the form of a sign in an adjacent parking lot, but the boundaries you have don't quite match either the county's records or the on-the-ground evidence (though admittedly, the northwestern boundary is rather fuzzy on the ground).

And, as a lesser issue, is there a reason why you re-classified the trail between Trail 120 and Rimrock Drive as a path?

41201727 over 9 years ago

Are the trails you've added here based on actual GPS traces or on-the-ground observations? What you've drawn looks like the trails that *should* exist according to the county's maps, but when I visited earlier this year, I was unable to locate the trail leading from the parking area, and I didn't have time to go looking for any of the others.

Did you forget to add tags to this?

Are you sure "nature reserve" is the correct classification? When I was mapping the trails, I had to dodge cattle herds a few times -- not something I'd expect to do on a nature reserve.

Please pay attention when dealing with this sort of mis-tagged way. Yes, it was mis-tagged as a quarry. But it is also mis-tagged as a mineshaft, a ditch, a peak, and an incorrectly-named road.

When you come across an issue like this in the Inland Northwest area of the United States, there's usually more than one problem with the data. In this case, for example, way #13922679 was simultaneously tagged as a mine, a stream, and two different roads.
