I will be here on April 25, 2024 and take many photos to add to features.

I removed the crossing tags and there were no complaints from iD.

I was following guidance from landuse=traffic_island

Previously there were warnings and suggestions which included traffic_calming and I felt this had nothing to do with traffic calming.

Thanks. Will check it out.

I've since modified it, removing the surface tag (I agree it was weird), changed the feature to a footpath from steps. Its all based loosely on way/1221117506 with some exceptions as the latter is in NZ and this is not. Also, I don't think mooring is appropriate. The dock functions as a mooring but not the ramp.

material=aluminum and surface=* was the advice from someone on the community forum. They said that while the ramp was aluminum the surface could be anything. In this case its a non-slip rubber mat. I suppose that tag could be removed. I wrote about the non-slip rubber mat in the description and as someone on the US Slack said gangway will confuse them, I'll just remove that tag. Bottom line. I have to go there again anyway.

Yes. Its a common mistake I make and I usually catch it. I always check that the link works before I close it out.

The node was part of the steps so I figured I could attach a photo there. Id did not complain. It does seem odd.

Big thanks for that.

Its now subject:wikipedia. Thanks.

For dimensions I matched the aerial view.

Did you fix it?

The cleat (area) is definitely seamark:type=mooring
I feel good about this as the cleat matches the picture very well. Its not a single post which would be a bollard.
The spud is more complicated. I just left a note because its not a mooring item. It is essentially a post though. I cannot find anything that defines them. If you want me to delete it I will. What a spud does is position the floating dock (I could not find an OSM applicable description of a floating dock) so that it kind rise and fall with the tides. Sometimes spuds are affixed to work boats.
But big thanks for your guidance because I didn't know where to start with this. Now I know a bit where to look.

Hi JayMontana36, I was able to select Public GPS Traces from the Map Layers choice, but then what? I'm only interested in bike and pedestrian traces.

When the trees are full of leaves there is likely nothing visible. If you are hispanic you would hang out there. While nearby, there was a guy there, he left and brought back a friend. If you are white you probably wouldn't hangout there. This is as much a viewpoint as the one further north. I have yet to see a viewpoint that described what the view is.

I was going to use overpass-turbo to find other nodes that have lamp_mount=lamppost.

I would like to use "What iD shows are commonly used values. Many of those values can be wrong,"

This might help explain why the list of tags in a wiki is so much shorter than those that seem available in iD.

Going forward I'm not touching anything that might affect a router unless it involves adding something.

While I believe OSM would be generally helpful, most have never heard of it, but its still used in popular products like CityMapper.

That said, anything I tag, I'll run though one of the external tools you mention.

Thanks for the explanation. Changed them to straight_mast.
Will create script to look for more.
I feel like what you said should be in the wiki.

Fixed it. That Osmcha has amazing imagery. Have to look into it when I don't have to get sleep.

Values of mount in ID
bent_mast
straight_mast
pole
high_mast
wall
angled_mast
susbended
mast
lamppost
ground
cantilever_mast
90
ceiling
tbd

Then I found a link that doesn't list many either but the best match would be straight_mast.
lamp_mount=*
I find it very odd that so many choices are given but there is no documentation of what the things are. Is it possible one semi-colons different things together? It is a lamppost after all. Anyway I'll deal with this tomorrow. I have to get some sleep.

Ok. that last one was a paste error. Will fix all much later. Thanks. They are the standard parks black lamp posts.

What do you suggest? straight_mast?
highway=street_lamp
does not describe ground.

And these are not masts.
