Hi there. I'm curious. Are you using GPX track logs *or* Birdseye imagery to trace features?

Hi there! Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Looks like you're off to a good start. Thanks for your data contribution.

I can see you naming the buildings that you're tagging, but please don't forget to add an appropriate tag for its function.

For example, a building with a name "XXX Restaurant" is simply another building in OpenStreetMap. You need to add the tag: amenity=restaurant so OSM, and other map rendered can identify them as such.

Hi JonelMagos! Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Looks like you're off to a good start. Thanks for your data contribution.

The building you're tracing could be orthagonalized by pressing the "S" button while the object is selected. "S" will "square" and align the features. Right now, they look all off.

By the way, try not to use acronyms (e.g. "EVSU) when naming objects. Spell it out in full so that other people who are not from your locality can understand them, too.

Hi there! Welcome to OpenStreetMap. You're doing a good job mapping the Iloilo area. Thanks for your contributions.

With regard to this changeset (and as mentioned in the Good Practices page), it is not necessary to repeat tag names when objects belong to a super feature (in this case, that's the university campus of Central Philippine University). For example, instead of naming a building as "CPU College of Engineering", you may tag them instead as:
name=College of Engineering
operator=Central Philippine University

The operator tag, in this case, can be dropped since they all belong to the same campus amenity.

If you have questions, please feel free to respond in this change set comment, or send me an IM.

If you enjoy making fantasy edits, check out http://opengeofiction.net. It's a mapping platform similar to OSM but for make-believe worlds. In OSM, we can only add real features that's verifiable on the ground.

It's not necessary to add the a descriptive name to a feature. A "basketball court" is simply tagged as:
leisure=pitch
sport=basketball

Only add a name, if it uniquely identifies the POI.

When adding opening_hours, using 24 hour format. Instead of
opening_hours=4:00 PM - 10:00 PM
tag it like this:
opening_hours=16:00-22:00

For vulcanizing shops, tag them as:
shop=tyres
repair=yes

Keep up the good work.

By the way, when naming gas stations, you may drop the string "gas station". Alternatively, you may tag them simply as:
brand=Caltex
amenity=fuel
<operator=Company that operates station>

By the way, your changeset comments can be more useful if you reflect the changes you made for a particular save point. That helps other mappers in your area determine what you did exactly.
