Hi Groovebox,

Great to see you adding rooftop solar!

Can you also add location=roof when you add any more? It helps pick out the rooftop solar for QA purposes.

There are a couple of other tags which can be added too. "direction" (which iD shows nicely on nodes) and the somewhat cumbersome "generator:solar:modules" which iD autocompletes after 4 characters for the count of the number of modules. This latter is the best proxy we have for potential power rating. (Both these latter are nice to haves, but often easy to add when mapping buildings).

All are tracked at http://osm.gregorywilliams.me.uk/solar/index.html.

Many thanks,

Jerry aka SK53

The two pictures are a) close to the Kraspessee; and b) ~ 2800m on what was the upper part of the glacier.

No comments on the unconventional alpine equipment please :-).

Have sent you a link!

Very droll :-)

If you zoom in on ESRI Clarity the last few zoom levels were taken in Summer and the glacier looks as you describe, but compare with the Orthophoto and some obvious glacial features have disappeared.

Also there was a cross on the summit (perhaps the Nordgipfel according to Wikipedia) which I can't locate on imagery.

Just following up your remarks about the Karwendel & thought I'd look at the Kraspesferner as my father & I walked up it in 1976, when I think it extended to the Kraspessee. Looking at the AT orthophotos the two fragments directly under the N face of the Zwielbacher Rosskoegel have gone, leaving only the more sheltered part to the E of the summit.

Commons ceased to be rendered which led to some (possibly inappropriate) re-tagging in England. The tag is undoubtedly slightly problematic (too many meanings) but not totally useless. I think in E&W commons & village greens can be explicitly mapped using the designation tag because there are legal lists (e.g., changeset/68709230). I think there was a discussion on talk-gb about that time. I see no reason why the same couldn't be true in Scotland.

BTW, nice to see you mapping again Bob!

Common good is a specific Scottish legal term (http://www.andywightman.com/common-good) meaning the land is owned by the community; in practice the relevant local authority. I'm sure this is what Central America means. It may be possible to use the designation key (designation=common_good). There is a long history of misappropriation of common good land by others (see more detailed paper http://www.andywightman.com/docs/commongood_v3.pdf or "The Poor had no Lawyers" also by Wightman.

Hi mottiger,

You don't need to create a single relation for each group of panels, just tag them individually as solar panel.

Historically relations were used before the power=plant areas were introduced for solar farms.

IIRC Richard found a similar pedestrian area glued to roads somewhere in this part of SE London, the glueing caused some oddities in cycle routing because of tags on the polygon. This would have been several years ago.

A really long shot, but do you have any recollection of the 'service road' to the S of way/135476622. It looks a bit fantastical to me.

It's not really a ridge. From recollection it's actually a glacial roche moutonee : my mother used to climb up it as a child & I've been up it in the distant past too. No idea if it is accessible anymore.

See https://e.n.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly

There are various books on follies in Britain (this is a good overview http://follies.org.uk/index.php/books/), and it would be nice to be able to identify them. My favourite is the Pineapple at Dunmore https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-pineapple. Many follies are just landmarks like White Nancy, some are completely useless, but ornamental, others have some use, but are primarily there as "eyecatchers" (e.g., this was possibly a boathouse https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:False_Bridge,_Wollaton_Park_-_geograph.org.uk_-_874421.jpg). As they are so various they do not form any one building (or man_made) tag, but do recognisably belong to a particular tradition of creating artificial landscapes.

@kawino85: This is OpenStreetMap not OpenUKSISCA, so our meaning of industrial will not necessarily accord with it's usage elsewhere. You can tag the industrial sector (it's a separate tag, but an international classification is recommended, see osm.wiki/Key%3Aindustry%3Aisic_code). Equally there is a utility=* tag (utility=*), but both are used to supplement the existing tags.

Just checked my images & there is definitely a no right turn sign at the lights on South Parade. There is other detail which I can't see, but am assuming it's "Except Buses". Have removed the access=no on the via point.

Hi kawino85,

Sewage works have more or less been tagged with industrial from when I started with OSM in 2009. If redundant substantial remediation is required before using for other purposes (another quite good indication of industrial processes).

Jerry

There are plenty of Geograph photos showing the stretch from South Parade to Water Street is bus only, also http://rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/news-headlines/104568/drivers-caught-on-camera-in-tram-only-zones. Not sure I got this far when I surveyed in 2017

Hi,

Was just looking for "heath" names in Warwickshire (based on Steven Falk's map - https://mobile.twitter.com/StevenFalk1/status/1203423627863085058) and noticed that the end bit of Heath Lane, Brinklow is mapped as unpaved, which is very unusual for highway=unclassified. This Geograph images suggests it is actually asphalted https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5503798.

Regards,

A request to both, if terracing a terrace & changing to building=house, please also add house=terraced as it preserves information otherwise lost (or awkward to determine). The house tag can be used for other types two, but at present iD supports these as explicit building types, so there is little mileage in changing such things at present.

Welcome to OSM,

Thanks for this, I've moved it a couple of buildings over opposite Prebend Passage (which incidentally suggests that we've made the Crown too big) and added the address.

I think your original location should be Cafe Piano (if still open), the first building on Westgate.

Thanks, again,

Jerry aka SK53

Should the Central Catholic High School also be excluded from the CMU polygon? Latter looks a bit unrefined (e.g. excludes TCS Hall & includes parts of properties on W side of S Neville St.

Looks like this area is getting a bit of attention recently, well done!
