Oh and feel free to fix the streets around here, I added them from aerial imagery and sometimes it's really hard to see clearly - it might be wrong or outdated. (I'm doing my best. T.T)

Hejhej, welcome to OSM and thank you for the contribution!

Is this village called Dakhori Jamalpur? We're missing a few village names including this one in this area and we'd be very happy if you could add them! (Or tell us and we can add them.)

It'll make finding the place you added much easier for everyone.

Happy mapping!

Hejhej, welcome to Openstreetmap and thank you for adding your valuable local knowledge to the map!

You missed a few warnings - there is a building that overlaps a road, the roads overlap without connection at 6 locations and you added a generic name (probably 'farmland') where none is needed. We usually don't name things the same name as their type. (The post office is not named 'post office' but eg 'Passnanwal Post Office', a playground is not 'playground' but 'Taj Mahal Playground' etc.) The same is true for the fields you named 'feild' which the check didn't catch because of the spelling error - you can name them if they have a specific name (maybe the 'Singh Field'?) but if not just leave the entry empty.

Also, most buildings are rectangles. So highlight them and either press the q key on the keyboard or use the option in the menu that opens when you right-click it to make 90° corners automatically.

I usually mark these areas as residential area because the buildings are so hard to see, in that case it's not an issue, but 'building' is a single building and not a whole group. :)

Again, thank you for your contribution and we look forward to more if you have it! (Eg, what are the names of all the villages around here? I have no clue, I'm literally on the other side of the world looking at satellite images to trace the roads.)

Happy mapping!

You already fixed it yourself, didn't you? However, there are now 2 Ralhan labels. Which one is correct?

And please feel free to add more detail around the area, since the map is made by people like you!
Most of the features around here were added by people like me on the other side of the world using aerial imagery - we don't see any detail, the images might be outdated and we do not know about interesting things on the ground such as shops or even village names. :)

Welcome and happy mapping!

Please keep changesets local.

Welcome and thank you for contributing to OSM!

If you're local, may I invite you to add some more things, eg the names of the surrounding villages? I can't figure them out from here (Germany).

Of course we'd also love to have more restaurants, shops etc in the area! :)

Happy mapping!

Hello, welcome! Thanks for adding to Openstreetmap. Feel free to name some villages in this area if you have time and know them please! :)
It's very difficult to figure out for people not from the area.

Happy mapping!

Ahhh die Box ist zu riesig!

(And btw the 'square' option does not make perfect squares, it makes all angles 90° that are close to it - try it!)

183098091

Great to see all the updates you're making!

Can you tell me what the house thing with trees is that you called 'Dera' (and didn't add any tags to >.<)? I keep seeing these and have no idea what that is. It's a bit south of Jogowal Jattan on the road to Chottepur.

182984479

Uhm. Now the tehsil border is a house too. D:

182954769

I have only tried osmand for that yet. GPS traces from the ground are super super valuable, so I'm looking forward to it! :)

I'd also be very interested in the village names around this one. I have no clue how to figure them out from here (copying from Google is not allowed and they don't have everything right anyway, at all).

182954769

Hej, it seems you used lines and didn't add tags to most of the buildings. I think those should be areas with tags 'building' or 'house' or whatever. :)

If they're rectangles it's also a good idea to use the 'square' function so they have 90° angles.

Feel free to change any features I made since I trace from satellite data from the other side of the world and have never been there.

Happy mapping! :)

Hej, thank you for adding features to the map!

Names in full upper case (LIKE THIS) will trigger error messages in the osmose and someone will probably come by later and fix it - but you could do it right there. :) (Same for the Rasta roads if you did that)

Happy mapping!

You already added it. It might take some time to show up in the renderer. Please feel free to add more in the vicinity! :)

181040734

Is this supposed to sit in the middle of the street?

180732404

You updated it yourself, it just takes some time to render.

Hi, I recommend squaring them after you drew them. (Unless the building is not a square of course.) In iD you can use the mouse menu, there's an option, or press the shortcut 'Q'. :)

Thank you for contributing! Please feel free to add more information about the local area! :)

I drew many of those small roads and streets from aerial images and may make mistakes, and I don't know about the houses and shops there.

Thank you for adding this information to OpenStreetMap. Please please feel free to add more for the surrounding places!

Many of us are working with satellite data and do not know about the local information, so this is very very valuable. I probably added a bunch of these streets and I am in Germany, myself.

You can also add GPS tracks so we (all of us including you) can verify the location of the roads and streets. This is especially great in places that are difficult to trace from satellite like small streets in villages and cities, roads on mountains and in wooded areas.
