I'm aware that my IQ is off the charts so I've tried to explain it so that anyone can understand it. "Amerikanska golfen" is now the official name in Sweden according to the newspapers. Does that make any sense? It's not something that shouldn't be on the map.

As the Swedish newspapers have told the citizens of Sweden that they should now use "Amerikanska golfen" then that should probably be an alternative name.

The article's title is "It's now called the American Gulf", so many Swedes probably think that "Amerikanska golfen" is what Swedes should call it.

@Glassman I believe so. "Mexikanska golfen" is still the official name as far as I know. Here's one source (popular newspaper): https://www.gp.se/nyheter/varlden/karttjansterna-overens-nu-heter-det-amerikanska-golfen.e5ba9a9e-dc75-4cd9-9c8d-8eec62d7452f

@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq so, which one do you prefer?

148055008 over 1 year ago

@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq it seems mine is drawn more correctly according to the Forestry background. Also using "natural" instead of "landcover".

Feel free to do as you like.

Pickup points don't do deliveries.

141257594 over 1 year ago

I've seen pickup points in France, in city centres where there's no space for large supermarket, and they're like an office reception. The bags are probably delivered from a large store some 10 km away. The Wolt Markets have everything in all locations.

Pickup is yes. I think it falls under "Nor would something like this sports shop where an initial online purchase is required, but in-person collection from the warehouse is allowed.", so not a dark store.

Well, it might actually be fine gravel or coarse sand on this track. Didn't feel like stopping to take a closer look when on the e-scooter in -15°c.

I did't remember exactly what the material was, but I know it isn't asphalt nor gravel. "Running track" maybe is suitable, but that seems to be reserved for other types of running tracks, and this track is mostly used by people walking their dogs.

Says here plan your route, i.e. don't go on the road for cars when there is a cycleway next to it: https://www.transpordiamet.ee/en/node/180

I'd say that makes it illegal to cycle on the road for cars.

141312586 almost 2 years ago

There's a designated bicycle way on the west side, and the eastern foot path is also wide enough to accommodate bicycles, so there's no reason to route cyclists on the car road.

Most "gardens" have been left as just grass, while others actually have flower plantations. There have been cases in the UK news where landlords have destroyed the residents flower plantations and replaced them with grass.

I was a bit shocked at first as well. I thought it would be grass, but then I read that thing. So, for that photo I'd say yes, it's a garden, it's somewhere people might have a picnic or a BBQ, or play football or whatever, which I guess is its purpose?

So, private (residential) garden. Almost community garden, but I think that's something different.

Then the Pirita promenade, has sections with flowers etc, and sections with grass. That really had me thinking, and there I used grass for grass and garden for the flowers.

There's also the botanical garden that could be used.

I guess their purpose has changed since the 70s when people probably were expected to use them more than they're used today.

According to the wiki (Key:garden:type): "garden:type=residential - The most common form of garden, located in proximity to a residence. Usually private access only, use access=private. Often with front garden and back garden. The main purpose is usually relaxation activities - it doesn't really matter if it is a plain lawn, or complex garden in French style."

I think in this case the lawn is reserved for the residents of the building, hence it should be considered a residential garden? They may very well plant flowers etc next month. Not like some random piece of grass between roads.

131849883 over 2 years ago

myeah, but I read that "grass" should be used very restrictively. "residential garden" seems appropriate, even though these neighbours haven't added more than grass to theirs.

I guess Hyde Park (osm.org/#map=16/51.5072/-0.1669) should be seen as a model for parks, and when taking another look I see that there are some landuse=grass in Hyde Park.

There's also a lot of grass around Buckingham Palace (osm.org/#map=17/51.50195/-0.14052).

130442838 over 2 years ago

Yeah, I wasn't 100% certain about this, like at Russalka monument (osm.org/#map=19/59.44341/24.79384).

I've since read about "don't tag for renderer" and "don't tag for navigation services (regarding pedestrian areas)".

I'd happily change them back to landcover=grass.

Do you think the grass I've added at places like osm.org/#map=18/59.42712/24.75563 should be landcover as well? It does look a bit strange on the OSM renderer.

@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq yeah, seems some buildings ended up under the pedestrian areas. I'll go ahead and merge them.
