Changeset When Comment

Interesting. You are unfortunately talking about thousands of nodes that I have mapped this way. I also remember a talk-au discussion ([talk-au] Country homesteads April 2022) on place vs landuse, where I enlisted the help of another OSM member to change all my landuse nodes to place. You actually made a similar comment to this one on that thread. This changeset is actually prior to the mass change as all the farm nodes are "landuse".

Named nodes do in fact render on the OSM GUI (and my mkgmap GPS) and it is unusual for me to leave a farm nameless as most have been gleaned from street imagery of access signs. Personally I like the vague location that gets displayed as it suggest a wider land use. Farm building type & location choices from overheads are also a bit risky IMO.

I am also quite wary of using DCS base farm names, nowadays really only using them as a spelling cross-check for a sign photo. So many are now just wrong. I also had an interesting discussion with a farmer about the "recent & unethical" practice of renaming a farm from the original that (he said) seems to happening more and more. For a while there I created some nodes with a fixme that were DCS name based mainly so my GPS would prompt me to record a note, but now I have a different mkgmap method. I suspect that the node you are referring to has in fact a missing name fixme.

So I guess thanks for your comment/ideas but I don't think there is a compelling reason to change my work method.

Cheers

Must have been too much coffee. Will fix a bit later today using maxspeed:type:AU as well.

Tnx much.

They have all been fixed by one of my mapping colleagues.

I think I got confused by the Australian Guidelines wiki using "AU" as part of a post office key (post_office:type:AU)=*, but as a value in maxspeed:type

Tnx for your help

Going to take a while, will try to enlist some help from other AU mappers with change/scripting support.

Tnx for the info

Mapillary imagery, my own. I usually do the OSM data input within a few days of capture, often before I upload to the server. My OSM diary has an article on my workflow. Cheers

Yep the church sign is on the imagery. It reads; "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - Visitors Welcome". In that respect I appear to have the church type wrong. It seems too that the church building is "out by one" on OSM such that it points to a one within the cadet polygon. Will fix the name and position unless you suggest otherwise.

Woops. this changeset not from live Mapillary data. Shoud be titled "(Mostly) Data from discarded Mapillary private imagery, mostly street addresses."

Yeah thanks for that. Bleary eyes. 108 was actually 10B. Found 10A as well. Nice to know I am being cross checked. Cheers

Woops was actually private Mapillary images, for house numbers
