| 87512973 | Is there a reason why you tagged a whole bunch of houses as offices, when they clearly aren't? |
|
| 87511219 | It looks like you used 'building:part=yes' on everything here. Was that an accident, or are you halfway through more-detailed mapping of them? |
|
| 87253652 | Please don't re-tag ordinary sidewalks as bicycle paths. |
|
| 87239239 | Welcome to OSM! Adding "bicycle=designated" to a cycleway is redundant -- the "cycleway" tag itself means "a route designated for bicycle use". |
|
| 86927137 | Please, *please* don't use roads as the edges of a landuse multipolygon. It's going to make it very difficult to modify either the roads or the landuse, and if a standard for mapping roads as areas is ever developed, it'll make it impossible to draw proper road areas. |
|
| 86733545 | Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Did you know that you can quickly square up the corners of a building by hitting the "Q" key, or by right-clicking and selecting the "square" menu option? |
|
| 86348419 | "Living street" is pretty much a purely European concept. If you find yourself thinking of tagging something in the US as such, it's probably either a service road or a residential street. |
|
| 85908628 | My concern is things like Crooked Road (way/13834754) which appears to be a ten-mile-long Forest Service road, not a driveway. |
|
| 86069300 | All imagery I can find shows US-12/US-93 as two lanes each way with a center turn lane, not a divided road. Has that changed? |
|
| 85908628 | You've got some extremely long service roads here. Are you sure you've classified them correctly? |
|
| 85840628 | You've applied the "office" tag to a great many things that aren't offices. Is there a reason for that? |
|
| 50905658 | Hopefully you'll find fewer of my early crap map changes in the near future. I came across this while researching the 130+ named places in Spokane County. So far, I've been able to confirm the accuracy of just under half of them, and found clear errors in about a quarter. (And the "Telido Station" development is looking very much like a "was" rather than an "is". The last mention in the Spokesman-Review was in 2008, the website went offline in 2016, and satellite imagery of the area shows no construction as of last month.) |
|
| 50905658 | Could you be a bit more careful when adding place names from USGS topo maps? "Tolido" isn't the name of an inhabited place, it's the name of a now-destroyed survey marker: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_mark.prl?PidBox=SV1197 |
|
| 84961513 | Has something changed in the past two years? The last time I visited the Folsom Farm site, the road leading there was still very much a dirt road. |
|
| 84742855 | You're missing my point with #1. Yes, there's a label on the map that says "Fishtrap". There are a number of buildings near it. But there's no connection between the two: you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who would say "I live in Fishtrap" (or even "I lived in Fishtrap" -- the most recent obituary in the Spokane newspaper to mention Fishtrap dates from 1995). This isn't the case with Tyler. Yes, again there's a label on the map and buildings nearby. But this time, there are also a few hundred people who would say "I live in Tyler". |
|
| 84742855 | There are two major problems with using "isolated_dwelling". The first and more significant is that many of these names are no longer used to describe where people live. Someone might say they live by the Fishtrap exit off I-90, but they wouldn't say they live in Fishtrap. Many of these names are more than a century old, and represent farming communities that vanished in the 1920s and 1930s. The second stems from the first: Nominatim and other geocoders consider isolated_dwelling to be part of the addressing hierarchy. For example, Nominatim will tell you that the farm near the intersection of Hein Road and Safety Pin Ranch Road has a "Gravelles" address, even though the Gravelles Post Office closed in 1896 and it actually has a "Davenport" address. (A third problem is that armchair mappers, particularly from India, will spot an American farm or ranch nearby and see it as a village, when the cluster of buildings actually represents just a single family. They'll then move the node to the farm, to "correct" the "misplaced" village node.) |
|
| 84786598 | The description tag may not be for advertising, but it is for describing the location. I see nothing promotional about the description of Montana Peterbilt. |
|
| 84742855 | The vast majority of "hamlets" out in the middle of nowhere are former (or sometimes current) railway stops, and should be re-tagged as "locality", not "isolated dwelling". |
|
| 84574735 | Could you take a second look at this? I'm pretty sure the drydocks and loading docks you've added aren't correctly tagged. |
|
| 84070597 | The map display on openstreetmap.org is hardly the only place where OSM data shows up. In many of the other places, adding a business as both a point and an area is counterproductive: * In OsmAnd, each business will show up twice, and since they're so close together, they'll crowd each other out and be shown as a small dot rather than an icon. * In StreetComplete, the user will be asked twice for missing information about things like opening hours or wheelchair access, increasing the odds of a mistake. * Pokemon Go uses OSM data: doubling up on a "no Pokemon allowed" object will increase the area of effect. * Amazon uses OSM data to route delivery drivers: if a business is present twice, it's possible that a multi-part shipment will be given to two drivers rather than combined into a single delivery. And so on. |
