Reading the Haengela website it looks to function much more as a restaurant with small 8-person bunkhouse than as an alpine hut. I'm not sure what the standard way of mapping Matrazenlager might be (obviously hostel has been used here. I think this would be better as amenity=restaurant.

I've also added their yurts. The tagging leaves something to be desired, but is what I've used in the UK.

Geant-Rochefort Arete is not a path, nor is sac_scale appropriate. It is a serious, albeit not too difficult, alpine course. For instance on Hikr it is here (https://www.hikr.org/tour/post41616.html) graded as AD (ZS) with climbing at III which are both outside the norms for SAC Wandern scale, but inside the norms for Alpinism https://www.sac-cas.ch/fileadmin/Ausbildung_und_Wissen/Tourenplanung/Schwierigkeitsskala/Berg-und-Hochtourenskala-SAC.pdf

Hi Charles,

Welcome to OpenStreetMap & thanks for adding this detail. The on-line editor does not directly support it, but it is possible to directly enter individual addresses for flats.

Assuming the flats are 1-36 with no number 13, this would look like:

addr:interpolation=all
addr:flats=1-12;14-36

if 13 exists the last line is simpler:

addr:flats=1=35

Tags like this can be added by scrolling down on the left hand side of the screen to a section called "All tags" which displays the nitty gritty stuff which is happening behind the scenes.

It's also worth adding entrance=main (again assuming this is the case). You can see examples on adjacent properties.

I think the buildings in this area need some tidying up. I will have a look in a little while.

Best wishes,

Hi A72,

As you've gone to all the trouble I wouldn't remove them, either add access private or change them to highway=service + service=driveway + area=yes.

I think it's very interesting to know how much of private gardens are devoted to hard standing of some form as it has an impact on surface water run-off (and also people have a tendency to pave over their front gardens exacerbating the issue). It's not something I've mapped (too much work), but having the data somewhere means that people can explore the potential of such data.

Best wishes,

Hi Brian,

Will do, probably didnt map a landuse or similar when I last visited (4 years & 1 day ago) largely because I dont feel we have a consistent set of tags. However natural=grassland is certainly closer to reality than heath. I can probably add a Phase 1 habitat class too, but NVC undoubtedly beyond me. The NE corner of Ufton Fields is similar habitat, but is cut shorter for the Man Orchids. Both places suffer from scrub encroachment (mainly Hawthorn).

Incidentally the reason I was looking at this was ael's message on talk-gb about surface mining & these kind of relict spoil heaps came to mind. (Ufton Fields of course is another local area with an odd topography as a result of mineral extraction).

I'll see if I can fish out some of the write ups of various areas from the Moth book. The Biological Records Centre and or Wildlife Trust should have a full list of Local Wildlife Sites (not seen these as open data, but suspect they may fall under EIR), and possibly full Phase 1 habitat mapping (Wales is available now as open data, which can be useful comparing the classification for places one knows).

Hi Brian,

Harbury Spoil Bank is not heath: it's one of the best examples of calcareous grassland in the county. Lots of plants & insects associated with that habitat: Welted Thistle, Cotton Thistle, Wild Carrot, Autumn Gentian (IIRC). Suspect it's mentioned in David Brown's "Larger Moths of Warwickshire" as a special location (copy upstairs as I type, will check later). So I think natural=grassland is best (like a lot of WWT, Ufton Fields comes to mind, could do with more active management, but resources & volunteers thin on the ground).

Hi,

I guess you were on our IRC channel yesterday asking about why your business appears in the wrong city. To help a bit I've added some extra info, changed the retail area to a retail store & added it as an interior decoration business. I've also added parking access, website & partial address (i.e., without zip code & house number). Do feel free to correct any of this if it is inaccurate.

The zip code locations are probably based on the central location of the zip which will be in Weslaco and this may affect which city is returned.

One thing I notice is that you refer to the road as S International Blvd, but we have Bill Summers International Blvd. If these are alternate names we can fix it.

Hi SlopeSoarer,

I see you requested a review.

This looks pretty much fine, other than the name=16 Hunter's Close is unnecessary. The important tags are the housenumber, street & postcode. It is very rare for residential properties to have a name tag, so I'd suggest removing these. The housenumber will be rendered automatically anyway, which also makes the map a bit easier to read.

Anyway it's very nice to see detail being added.

Best wishes,

Jerry aka SK53

Not to worry, bit of a long shot. Forgot you'd have probably been past by bike (v useful for covering a good bit of ground).

Hi Thomas,

I dont suppose you walked Claypole FP 3 in doing these changes? If you did was there any evidence of Newark Model Flying Club? I've I've just mapped this because of discussion on talk-gb because I know someone who is a member.

Jerry

Many thanks for doing this, presumably a massive improvement for all concerned (six stiles is a lot!).

I'll now add the footpath reference from the official order (https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/media/3766033/sb-confirmed-order.pdf) to make it easier to pick out why this changed.

Best wishes,

Jerry aka SK53

Hi John,

I see you added a post box outside Costcutter, but used a slightly different tag than is usual. I think, but am not sure, that "letter box" is used for post deliveries & "post box" for Royal Mail ones.

I was going to change it, but just thought I'd check on my interpretation.

IN the original changeset you note it's on a stick and has an Elizabeth II cypher. We are nerdish enough to have tags for these (although the first is not directly supported in the editors: post_box:type=lamp and royal_cypher=EIIR.

Other things on postboxes (which may be irrelevant unless one is really into chasing them down) include precise times for the collection & the reference usually of the form SM5 ###[D} with boxes numbered sequentially within a postcode district. The early collection ones have a "D" afterwards.

Best wishes,

Jerry aka SK53

Accidentally used, old changeset description. This was adding the house Afallon on S side of river. It was the former minister's house (on older maps called Blaen-Dyffryn), but Afallon on the post-WWII 1:10560, which is it's current name & the name when my mother lived there 1941-4 (ish).

Yeah, I actually surveyed this one! I think the Blue Bell always had two addresses. Certainly it had doors at both ends the only time I drank there, seemed a pleasant boozer back then.

Some FHRS Ids do tend to be zombies.

I presume the situation here is not dissimilar to the one I mentioned in my diary entry @SK53/diary/397290 (also inspired by Robin's tweets). In my situation I presume the big bollards are there to stop cars using the pavement to circumvent the cycle gutter/deterrent paving combo of the fire path.

Multiple barriers designed to impede various kinds of vehicles can be mapped individually, or as a line, but most likely will not be picked up by routing engines. I have used a bollard:count=n to at least represent such situations whilst ensuring there is a barrier tag on the way.

It would be interesting to hear from CycleStreets on this type of issue.

Also in a few places I have mapped the connecting pavements in such LTN nodes.

Unfortunately shop=kiosk does not have that meaning in OSM. Kiosk is widely used in Central & Eastern Europe to refer to what we would call newsagents. I happened to write a blog post about the issue http://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2013/09/mapping-kiosks-exploration-of-some.html. Thus coffee kiosks, burger kiosks, ticket kiosks etc need a different tag.

Is FCB on Woking Station really a newsagent (shop=kiosk)? I think it's a place selling hot drinks to take out with some snacks, so should be tagged cafe as originally. You can use kiosk=yes to indicate that the it is a kiosk rather than a walk in shop

Why did you change the name from འབྲུག་ཡུལ་ to Bhutan. The former is a) the correct name for the country for local people; and b) has been the form of the name tag since October 2009. I would expect discussion before changing the name of a country on OSM.

Presumably the construction=bus_stop is long finished.

No I won't do that: edits twiddling things like source tags give the spurious impression that the area has been updated. I would imagine a heck of a lot has changed in Port-au-Prince in the past 11 years.

I'm just trying to get a handle on rumours of these data being suspicious, and obviously part of the problem is that many are unaware of this episode in OSM's past.
