Hi VLD,

Was going through recent changes in the area and saw this. What is your reasoning behind reverting this change as vandalism?

Hey MapAbility,

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to make a bunch of wholesale changes to the road classification based off of VicRoads data.

1) What is the source of the data that you are using.

2) Our classifications don't align with what VicRoads does; for example, there are now a disproportionate amount of secondary roads in the north east.

Hi JPG,

In this edit you've deleted the fairway areas for most of the golf course. I can't see a reason for you to have done that?

Ah; I see. I assume this is for the Moovit app?

I had a look; the data on Moovit seems to be a few months old; the possibly only take an update of OSM data a few times a year. I’ve added some address nodes to the houses on Timbertop Court, and when Moovit updates it’s maps the “snapping” should work correctly. :)

Hi Ragrum,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

You've traced and tagged these houses correctly and in line with OSM standards. Great job!

Dian

Hi Moovit,

Again, I'm not sure what you're tring to do here.

You've moved this node out to the footpath?

Hi,

Thanks for your contributions to the area.

You appear to have adjusted Timbertop Court far away from the road centreline. What are you using to get this alignment?

Thanks for the reply NEades, much appreciated.

It's unusual that Vicmap is showing a different name for this lane; perhaps an error on their end. Do you have any mechanism to get in touch with your colleagues in state government to correct the error in their system?

Either way, I'm happy the name in OSM matches the signs.

Dian.

This change has broken routing at the Mickelham Road intersection with the offramp. way/74661894 (which was correctly tagged as a link road) now cannot travel straight onto the onramp.

These slip lanes were correctly tagged as link roads.

Hi NEades,

Thank you for your contribution.

Could you please confirm your source for the change of the name to "College Lane". Official naming sources indicate that this lane is called "Grass Tree Lane"

Hi Derrick,

I understand what you are trying to do to get the node to "render" as you prefer, but Clayton North does not fit the definition of a quarter (indeed, the tag is not used in Australia).

Mistagging for the renderer (osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer) is considered bad practice. Please leave Clayton North correctly tagged as a neighbourhood.

Hi,

In this edit you've extended way/124693704 past the point of physical separation.

You've also deleted a lot of destination and turn restrictions which has negatively impacted routing.

I am unsure what further advice can possible be given to help you correct this mapping practice.

Hi Supt,

I stumbled across this edit when making some updates.

The boundary of the suburb Belgrave+Belgrave Heights follows the boundary as imported by the PSMA import. I have reverted your change: changeset/131754155

No stress at all Matt.

The Vicmap Planning and Property datasets are covered by a waiver, and Bing Imagery is obviously usable.

I think the easiest resolution would be to go through your changeset and make sure that there is nothing there that is exclusively sourced from nearmap; if the fence line is visible in bing, for example, then that can be the source. :)

Hey Matt,

Thank you for your reply.

The URL used in your changeset source seems to have the nearmap url in it. What is the custom dataset/app you're using? It may have conditions of its own.

Dian

Hi icodethings,

Hi Wilburl,

Thanks for your contributions to SE Melbourne. :)

Unfortunately, the Nearmap does not have a compatible data license and cannot be used as a source for contributions into OpenStreetMap.

The Australian mapping community has compiled a list of compatible sources on the OSM wiki: osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Sources.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

Dian

Hi Ka-ma-al.

Thanks for your contribution to the St Albans area.

I can see you've tried to add houses to the area, but it appears you've used the incorrect tag.

The best way to tag houses is to use the tag building=house, or just use the "House" preset in the editor.

Happy Mapping!

Hi,

Not sure why you moved this one. It's now further away from the geographic centre and the "centre" of the suburb.
