Hi Tom,

In case you find some more, we now generally add a location=roof for roof-mounted solar panel installations (and can get more complicated counting the modules & adding orientation too).

Generally rooftop solar takeup is lower in Greater London than elsewhere, plus they're often hard to find on a lot of pre-WWI housing. Imagery quality doesnt always help either.
Across the country we're now just shy of 20% mapped cf FIT figures (probably 1 in 6 in reality). A big step from your pioneer mapping of them for BedZED.

Cheers,

Jerry

Definitely worth adding fences & hedges. I usually do, so must have run out of time when doing this (I was actually looking for plant galls as a recce for a nature walk). Not only do they help one "read" the countryside. I notice I've missed a few other things too.

Thanks for this, I cant precisely remember where I walked when I added this (I suspect up N side of Diamond Wood and thence to the car park. If I get the chance (& remember) I'll check if I have any photos of the point.

Anyway ground truth is what OSM is about & we've noticed more people making use of it during lockdown precisely because it may have more local paths.

Quite a few permissive paths do disappear after the landowner stops getting the relevant subsidy (I was out in Leics a fair bit on ones which were disappearing a couple of years ago).

Many thanks. Ideally the editors would flag this up.

This edit is totally incorrect & misleading. People use OpenStreetMap for real world important activities, it is not a toy. It will no doubt be reverted, but you must not make such edits in the future.

Hi,

The service roads added here overlap with a solar power generator. I suspect that the imagery used was not necessarily in alignment with existing mapping. I presume you have a filter in the editor which hides some other features and also that the editor does not generate a warning.

Please can you review this with all features enabled.

Thanks,

Looks like it could do with location=submerged & layer=-1 (and possibly wheelchair=no) to bring it in line with node/2941119302

Hi,

I noticed that you mapped rooftop solar panels on a house in Cargreen, but also added an output of 400kW which seems unlikely (4kW might have been intended). Could you check please.

Thanks,

Hi & Welcome to OpenStreetMap,

Judging from your comment these paths are public footpaths. We have an explicit way of marking them which is not directly supported in the online editor.

We use a tag "designation" to describe the legal status of a path with values like "public_footpath. You can add these by scrolling down to the "Tags" section, click the "+" key and start typing designation, it will autocomplete and tab into the next box valid values will appear in the drop down.

We have a number of apps to facilitate mapping rights of way. This is Map the Paths (which shows the local official data, but in this case not compatible with OSM) for this area: https://www.mapthepaths.org.uk/?lat=51.3879786&lon=-2.7815831&zoom=1&mode=0. Other Rights of Way resources can be found here: https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/. There is also a UK-specific map which shows more information (including rights of way) for walkers, this area https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=14&lat=51.38774&lon=-2.75989.

I also notice in a later edit you've added two names to a path. You can split a path (right mouse & scissors icon) at any node and then each part of the path can have their own proper name.

Hope these remarks are of some use.

Best wishes,

Jerry aka SK53

Hi,

Thanks for adding a solar panel (node/7593581420), but I think it's more likely to be 3.3kW than 3.3MW! If you're not sure you can just remove that tag or add generator:solar:modules with a count of the individual panels instead.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Thanks very much for your first edit. This is precisely the sort of thing where local knowledge can improve our map & data.

I just wondered one thing. Is it still possible to get to Gadlys Road from Gadlys Street on foot? If it is the two roads can be connected by a footway.

Best wishes,

Sorry for being dense I was looking for a townland in the wrong parish, should be fixed in way/430750207#map=14/52.5556/-8.5299

Ah failed to spot you'd fixed it. No matter have added a few plantations, ringforts & Cistercian Abbey ruins.

Gosh, this goes back to the dim & distant past when the boundaries of Co. Limerick were lines drawn around GNIS import nodes. Will have a quick look, but may not have any memory of what I did before.

Yes, presumably iD added the source_ref when I tried to add source=survey. Fixed

I havent corrected them all because I was unable to run josm on my old laptop, but have just done so now: changeset/84932590

Great, obviously very iffy Wikipedia links could do with sorting too, but that's out of scope

Yes I know perfectly well & I didn't link to the Cebuano junk. Wikipedia links are vastly more useful to actual OSM editors than wikidata ones (the information is more useful, its one click away not multiple clicks away) and wikidata concepts have a nasty habit of not corresponding to OSM ones and are not necessarily easy to validate.

Actually a more reasonable admin entry on Wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Anglesey_County_Council. Far more useful than one in Cebuano. I suspect the wikidata entries may need a check.

Presumably this note refers to this changeset note/2179014#map=17/51.26759/-1.08024
