Hi Kwadwo, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thank you for mapping, unfortunately mapping unconnected ways as you did here is useless in OpenStreetMap and to everyone. A good question to ask yourself is how will a vehicle connect to this from where?

Start from an area around you where you can map or update missing features you know about.

Hi herbert agyeman,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM), and thanks for your contributions.

Unfortunately, most of them are out of place and must be fixed, which is also not a big problem in OSM.

Here are a couple of things to note before mapping;
1. Since you are using the iD editor, kindly zoom in enough to see existing objects before adding new ones to avoid duplicate data.
2. Use the full names of streets, i.e. "Airport Road" instead of "airport rd"
3. You don't need to add "I like to ..." at the beginning of your changeset comments, "added road names in Sunyani" or "added road names" is already good.

Here is a resource for getting started with iD editor https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/

Happy Mapping!

hi,
can you clarify the use of these spaghetti roads?

hi,
can you clarify the usefulness of these spaghetti roads you mapped here?

I am not sure how you came up with https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/783148500 and others here, can you please clarify or you are just fantasy mapping?

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Avoid using those hash they make no meaning. Also, stop putting your name in the changeset comments. See what a Good changeset comment is osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

53847625

Don't just add tags anywhere without understanding what they mean. For example, adding a railway switch to the corner of a building like here https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/node/5233056634 is useless and false

thanks for mapping, but be careful when using a mobile app; you just added a trash bin to an existing building's node here node/3431479458

Please, what are you trying to map here?

Putting "Mapped buildings" before all those hashtags is much more useful.

Alos, kindly stop adding "addr:city=Boadi" to buildings

125749056

Stop adding "addr:street=Boadi" to your buildings.

Also adding the changeset before all those hashtags is much more useful.

You really don't need to put the quantity of what you have mapped in the changeset comment :)

Thanks for mapping. Kindly avoid connecting buildings to roads as you did here. Also, learn about good changeset comments and tell you mapped instead of just uploading with only hashtags that are not helpful to yourself and other mappers. Read osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Thanks for mapping. I have moved the name to this node node/10014212504 works best to have the name on place=* node near a major road.

Can you help clarify the relation to node/1794371185 as the names look similar with different locations.

Hi,

Thanks for mapping. Chps compound is better tagged with amenity=health_post

Hi, thanks for mapping.

Changeset comments like this make no sense and are meaningless to you and other mappers. Kindly read osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments and use meaningful comments that describe what you did, e.g. added residential buildings

Hi,

Can you please clarify this deletion?

Best,

Hello Donkor,

I have just reviewed your contributions, with some minor modifications. Looks great already!

Note that you don't need to fill in all attributes (tags - osm.wiki/Map_Features) when mapping, for example, https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/1091686818

It is also better to map villages/towns as a node at the centre of the village near a road (don't connect the node to the road). See osm.wiki/Tag%3Aplace%3Dvillage

Best,
Enock

Thank you for mapping! I wished everyone who participated in the Census like yourself can do what you just did here.

I am happy to help if you have more to add. I have also sent you a message with useful resources.

Happy mapping!
