Please don't add nonsense to the map. There's no shortage of real things you could map instead.

Did you make a mistake here? A cycleway that forbids bicycle usage strikes me as rather improbable.

Is there a reason you deleted this driveway?

Could you please pay better attention to what you're doing? About half the object you tagged as an "unclassified road" is actually an intermittent stream, while the other half is a farm track.

Thanks for adding that to the map.

A tip for future editing: you can change the background imagery using the "Background Settings" tab (the one that looks a little like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane County area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is far sharper than the default Bing background.

When you're editing in Spokane County, *please* use ESRI World Imagery. It's far sharper and better-aligned than Bing, and I think it's slightly newer, as well.

Thanks for your additions.

In case you haven't noticed, you can change the background imagery in the "Background settings" tab (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane County area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is far sharper than the default Bing imagery.

Are you sure the aerial photos here are correctly aligned? The images tend to get stretched in misleading ways in hilly areas.

Looking at the available imagery options, about half of them say the old alignment was correct, while the other half agree with the new alignment. There aren't many GPS traces available, but what there is generally lines up better with the old alignment.

Whatever you're trying to do, it isn't working. You're adding payment information to things that aren't businesses, such as a random point on a road.

Could you please be more careful in your editing? You dragged pieces of the Lewiston city limits across the map at least twice in this changeset.

I sure hope you got this right, since there's no way a changeset this big can be properly reviewed. In particular, there's a good chance you've misattributed some things named after Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, as being named after Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights activist. (And for that matter, there might be one or two things named after Martin Luther King Sr., the Baptist minister).

I don't know if you've noticed it yet, but you can change which background imagery you're using by clicking the "Background settings" tab (the one with an icon that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). Different imagery sets are newer, or sharper, or better-aligned than others.

In the area where you're mapping, "DigitalGlobe Premium" looks especially good for buildings: once you zoom in far enough, it switches from blurry satellite images to aerial images sharp enough to see the shingles on the roofs.

It looks like the old mapping of those buildings was an attempt to use the "Simple 3D buildings" system (osm.wiki/Simple_3D_buildings), but they didn't get it quite right.

Is there a reason why you say this has an elevation of 503 *meters* rather than 503 *feet*? The USGS topo map for the area, in particular, shows this as being surrounded by a 500-foot contour line.

Is Midway really a reversible one-way street?

Thanks for helping improve the map.

20 MPH is an unusual speed limit for a residential street in Spokane -- usually the limit is 25. Are you sure it's correct?

Don't use Google Streetview to add things to the map. Google tends to object to that, often in legally unpleasant ways.

Please don't make up features just to fill in the map. If there's nothing there, there's nothing there.

Passed by this one on Sunday on my way back from a hike, and it looked decidedly civilian. I've removed the "landuse=military" tag.

If you want to use OSM for bicycling, you might want to check out the https://opencyclemap.org/ or http://cycle.travel/map websites, both of which re-render OSM data with an emphasis on bicycle-relevant features. The cycle.travel map draws unpaved roads in a "dashed line" style, while OpenCycleMap has more of an emphasis on designated bicycle routes.

Since these sites draw on the OpenStreetMap data, adding things like surface type to OSM is worthwhile, even if it doesn't show up on the main site.
