Mapping My Neighborhood

Posted by Kirigaya Kazuto on 26 August 2018 in English.

In mapping my neighborhood I experience hardness, I feel happy and I encounter many people and houses in my neighborhood. I feel happy becuase while I`m mapping I enjoy looking for the new features in my neighborhood. I feel hardness because there are times that I encounter houses that is hard to know if its a building or a house. But just like our prof. said if we are having some problem in telling if its a housen or buiding mark it as building possible. I encounter a wrong linings of roads so I change it to make it right. In mapping my neighborhood helps me look the right way i going somewhere near our house or find a convenient store near our house. Because I’m new in this barangay so its hard for me to know if what am i putting was right. That’s all for now. 😅😅😁😁😵😵

I think you meant to write “difficulty.”

Building features in OSM may be generically tagged as building=yes, but if you have details, you can be more specific as possible, say building=detached or building=house.

Since you say you’re still new in the neighborhood, woudldn’t you say this is a great opportunity to know it better?

Thank you for posting your experience, and sharing what you’ve discovered.

Cheers,
