| 148568609 | over 1 year ago | Yeah, that was mainly why I decided on using the separate method having seen it in other places. But that was before I found the wiki on it and the issues with street names etc when using the separate way. As I keep finding out more about the mapping I keep having to go back and adjust things I thought I'd got right! And there is not always one best way... |
| 148568609 | over 1 year ago | Hi @lostmike. Good to see you adding the pavements around Narberth. I personally prefer the sidewalk being mapped as a separate way to the road - but that is driven by my daughter needing a wheelchair and thus it is useful to know where things like the dropped kerbs are. We're starting to add wheelchair tags by doing some exploring together. Now she needs the chair it is amazing how many little things I'd not considered before - both in mapping and reality - that cause problems. It's one thing intellectually knowing things are more difficult to achieve but living it drives it home! Anyway, there's a whole page on the OSM wiki with pros and cons of both techniques for sidewalk mapping. |

| 100726916 | almost 5 years ago | Yes, you are totally correct. Bad wording on my part for the changeset comment - I actually only changed the direction for the short section directly outside the pharmacy and didn't even notice the incorrect one-way in the upper car park. I'll change it now and add the car park areas to the lower part. Out of interest - do you somehow monitor for changes in an area so you know when I/others change things? Or is it just looking at the changesets for nearby users under your profile? If there is a way to be notified I'd be interested as Amazon have a team that are adding driveways etc from their driver data and I sometimes I think their definitions of track/driveway could be improved with local knowledge of a particular area. |
| 100215440 | almost 5 years ago | Nicely done @lostmike. I have the PDFs from PCC that are their online version of the definitive map to check against. I'm finding quite a few paths that are different in reality to the definitive map when I actually run/walk them. Quite a few are also impassible or non-existent. Even more so for Carmarthenshire. Most of the path mapping on the Preseli's is currently from memory due to lockdown. This is massively helped by the newish Bing aerial images that have much higher definition and the fact that, AFAIK, the whole of that area is open access. The bit around Foel Feddau needs more work but I need a trip up there to check things - especially the official bridleway that is nowhere near the path used in reality. |
