Updating railway stations tagging diagrams

I think the railway=stop nodes should habe their ref=* tags too.

A "rural pedestrian" vector map schema and style

I like the fact that the names of bodies of water (ponds, pools, reservoirs) are shown already at low zoom levels… Easier to spot the Former Tubbytronic Superdome :D

The third sin of OpenStreetMap

Good job!

It there were no signs, how did know what the name of the lane is?

Pretty please remove &layers=D from the link, it might be overwhelming for some browsers :)

Regarding your recent edits: Please mind the correct syntax for service_times, so that it can be automatically evaluated and shown in different languages/forms.

For example, for your

Miercoles: 16:00PM - 18:PM, Domingo: 11:00AM - 13:00 PM

the correct form is

We 16:00-18:00; Su 11:00-13:00
YEHS Hotel Sydney CBD

Nope, you didn’t add anything anywhere. Try again? Do you need help with it?

KGV- Am Wiesenquell e.V.

Ein Kleingartenverein tritt offiziell auf OpenStreetMap auf, was für eine gutes Geschehnis! Was haben Sie vor? Werden Sie alle Parzellen und sich darauf befindende Häuschen und sogar kleine Gewächsäuser eintragen?

Indonesia is not a country, it’s a state of mind

Finding SEO spam in OSM

Businesses that stuff their advertising rubbish-text anywhere they can, even on OpenStreetMap, are not trustworthy in any aspect. Their object on OSM might be misplaced many kilometers, or the business might already be bankrupt or moved somewhere else, long before we notice the dubious edit.

I’d just delete such objects right away (preserving the address or building outline, if it looks plausible). If the business cares, they would respond then. If not, why bother?

Extracting addresses from OpenStreetMaps

Thank you for mentioning Mannheim city centre! It’s always the case whether “addr:street” or “addr:place” is used.

New and Confused

Just start with your house, your street, your neighbourhood… Even if they are already thoroughly mapped, there might still be some minor details or recent updates that you can enter.

A visit to Baarle-Hertog/Nassau

IMHO it’s a silly thing with those “dueling” house numbers… Couldn’t both countries agree on consistent numbering schemes along cross-border streets?

And I can see you made the edits, very well! They’re already being shown here: https://mapcomplete.osm.be/surveillance?z=16&lat=43.5515&lon=6.975095

Thank you for your contribution!

All you did was adding notes. How about doing an edit?

Mapping inspired by True Crime

Nothing connected to crime, but I did once map this postbox after noticing it in a music video :) The red postbox is clearly visible here from 3:27.

Eintrag als Nachhilfelehrer

Ich sehe dass du dein Unternehmen schon eingetragen hast. Ein paar Kommentare von mir:

  • Mach einen neuen Knoten (innerhalb vom Gebäudekontur), anstatt den allgemeinen Gebäudeeingang (entrance=yes) zu überschreiben!
  • Der Gebäudekontur hat schon die Adresse, die addr:*= Tags sind überflüssig.
  • Die E-Mail-Adresse gehört unter email=, nicht name=.
  • Es empfiehlt sich, phone= mit Landesvorwahl anzugeben (+49 für Deutschland).
  • Werbetext hat in der Beschreibung eines Änderungssatzes nichts zu suchen.

Is it something from https://localhost/? :D

Survey discovered gas leak.

Well done. We can spot many defects while surveying for OSM.

Mapping out bus routes in Anchorage

A good advice: don’t do the dual mapping of “stop_position” and “platform”. It quickly get chaotic and difficult to edit when routes change. Just map the platform as a node – the point of interest for the passenger :)

Waste Bin location project

Splendid idea, good luck with it!
