This obviously is a residential area, and the use of highway=service is problematical.

Until better imagery, or local mappers can confirm, I suggest the following instead:
highway=residential + narrow=yes.

With this tag, it acknowledges the functional use of the road, while providing additional information for navigation software.

Refer to their respective wiki pages for details.

I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! Kudos for using OpenStreetMap's to create a better map of your community. As you may know, your edit is immediately live in the main OSM site as soon as they've been saved to the database, although other apps may take a few weeks (or months) to refresh their copies.

If you have any questions at all, let us know and we can try to help out. You might think you have broken something, you're in doubt how to map something in particular, or you just want to know more about Openstreetmap. Get in touch with us!

Here are some tips to get you started:

* Detailed information is available from the wiki pages. If you don't find how to map something with your editor of choice, the quickest solution is look at Map Features on the wiki. For more complicated questions, you can search in or post on the Help site, or ask the forum. Go to osm.wiki
* Self-paced learning modules are available online. https://learnOSM.org is a good place to start. Available instructions are for the default iD editor, the more advanced JOSM editor, and select mobile tools.

Welcome back! Good to see you're back mapping.

Marami ring mga tagging instructions dito: osm.wiki/Philippines/Mapping_conventions

Malugod na pag-dating sa OpenStreetMap (OSM). Napansin ko ang kagagawa niyo lamang na ambag para mapa-buti ang mapa ng inyong kapitbayahan. Marami salamat.

Ang iyong inambag ay agad na nai-isave sa database ng OSM, at buhay na makikita agad sa online na mapa.

Kung may mga tanong kayo, huwag mag-atubiling makipag-ugnayan, at susubukan namin kayong tulungan.

Narito ang ilang tips:
* Ang detalyadong tulong ay mababasa mula sa wiki pages. Kung hindi ka sigurado kung paano mag-edit, ang pinakamabilis na paraan para malaman ito ay basahin ang Map Features section ng wik.i Para naman sa mga mas mahirap na mga katanungan, pwedeng mag-hanap, at mag-post sa Help site o sa forum. Puntahan ang osm.wiki para sa karagdagang kaalaman.
* Kung nais pag-aralan online ang mga pamamaraan ng pagmamapa, subukan ang https://learnOSM.org. Ito ay libre, at maraming mga aralin tungkol sa pag-gamit ng iD editor, at iba pang advanced editors tulad ng JOSM, or mga pang-edit gamit ng smartphone.

Maarin rin pong makipag-ugnayan sa pamamagitan ng mailing list [0], FB [1], Telegram [2], or Slack[3]

I just recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you!

Kudos for using OpenStreetMap, and a belated welcome to the community. Glad to see somebody tending this section of the map of the Philippines.

Do you know that apart from Mapbox, additional aerial imagery is available: DigiGlobe, ESRI? The Strava Heatmap are also useful for aligning imagery.

If you have questions, or concerns, or simply like to get in touch, there are various community channels for local mappers which I hope you can join, and exchange correspondence with fellow mappers.

please add your note=* or description=* to the feature itself.

This are especially important for roads, but could apply to streets, as well.

re blocked roads, are these confirmed by yourself?

If these are highways blocked by informal occupation, consider adding barrier=yes in end nodes, and add access:motorcar=no (or a more restrictive access:motor_vehicle=no) in the linear way, while keeping the appropriate highway tag (i.e highway=residential)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap @Danny Sajol. I recently noticed your contributions to OpenStreetMap (OSM). Thank you! I appreciate those notes that you recently made all over Lucena City, containing update information.

If you're keen to update street names yourself, check out the iD editor.

so, why are these housed mapped as nodes?

Google is an invalid source of data. Please don't copy data from other maps.

Hello there. I noticed you've contributing a lot recently in OSM. Good job! Thanks for helping make a better map of the community.

Great to see details being added to the map. Keep it up!

While OSM is not a land registry, individual land parcels may tagged as place=plot [4].

landuse=registry [5] is best for tagging larger residential areas/human settlements, without regard for parcel granularity.

In this area you're mapping, the area in Ligaya where all the houses are should me mapped as landuse=residential.

Correction:
is_in:city = General Santos

Welcome to OSM @xChAoSx! It's good to know that you're checking out the documentation for the tagging convention and practices.

First of all, the barangay/purok/sitio qualifers are unnecessary when objects are tagged properly, and boundary polygons are available. (Boundaries for most PH municipalities are already available in OSM, lower than these, it's spotty.) The use of barangay/purok/sitio are only **vital** especially if they are numbered (i.e. Barangay II-A, Purok 7, Sito 12), otherwise the map rendering will be littered by Barangay X, Purok Y, Sito Z that may not add much value to the map. If you ever use maps on smaller devices or mobile, you'll have a better appreciation why it makes sense to keep this as short and simple as possible. In this case, "San Francisco" should be sufficient.

OpenStreetMap is a global project, local mapping conventions and practices are defined by the community. It's also a free-tagging system, and mappers are free to propose and define their own tags, and (nominally) subject to community acceptance.

The "designation" tag is a mature, globally accepted tag to "record the legal classification of an object." Are sitios and puroks legally recognized in the Philippines? Yes! Therefore, this makes "designation" a valid tag to describe an object. It doesn't affect the rendering, one way or the other (at least, at present) and is more simple than all these place:PH=* or admin_type:PH tags being used.

Sitios and puroks are not administrative entities, and IMO, is inappropriate for use with admin_type:PH

Your use of is_in is also incomplete. Define it like:
name = San Vicente
official_name = Purok San Vicente
designation = purok
is_in:village = Baluan
is_in:city = Gen. Santos City
is_in:province = South Cotabato

This way, the Nominatim search engine can place their hierarchial connections correctly. Optionally, you may add other tags like *:PH=*, but it doesn't affect the way the object is rendered on the map.

is_in:province is largely unnecessary, if you can onfirm that the municipality has a (correct) boundary polygon.

If you are interested in polishing your OSM skillset, check out self-paced learning modules from https://learnOSM.org. Keep mapping!

I appreciate the response.

Like I mentioned in my earlier comment, hamlets are used for **isolated** settlements. Technically, these may be considered as neighbourhoods, as well, but is useful for distinguishing urban and rural (and remote) settlements.

Neighbourhoods are smaller settlements that includes sitios and puroks.

Designation is used for objects (including places) that has a legal qualification - and that includes sitios and puroks, which are accepted as traditional delineation of settlements below the barangay level.

Hi there. I just noticed that you added a (seasonal) route name in the street names, which is not an accepted practice.

Kindly revert these highways you've changed, and create an appropriate relation for the route you want to create.

These routes, however, are not normally rendered by many mobile apps, so your mileage may vary.

If I don't hear back from you, this will be reverted back this weekend. Thank you.
