I suspect Roche Bobois have moved. There's another shop at Sihlporte node/9115808230 (is that the old EPA building?)

Hmm, it would have been better to check with me. The footpath is closed ("gating order") not open.

I guess in principle it is equivalent to addr:interpolation ways on either side of the road.

Experimental. The vector represents which way housenumbers go w.r.t to the street way, so opposite means that house numbers rise in the opposite direction to the direction of the way. The idea is that one can start to infer predicted housenumbers based on the vector direction. I stopped thinking about this in detail when openaddresses kicked off as John Murray had more sophisticated techniques. Of course when it died, I'd lost the impetus.

Not sure why I added it here (perhaps based on FHRS address values).

I presume one of the routing engines was directing people to one of the roads either side of the station. However, moving the station node is not particularly good practice. A simple foot way through the entrance foyer would have sufficed: in fact it exists, has done so for 2 years: way/761027930/history.

It would be worth: a) seeing if routers accept highway=corridor (presumably not); b) use an explicit railway station entrance tag (osm.wiki/Tag%3Arailway%3Dtrain_station_entrance); c) change the highway=corridor to highway=footway with covered=yes. Note the latter might not entirely resolve routing because the platforms are mapped as areas.

Station nodes are used for other purposes than foot or car access as well.

Hi,

I noticed that you changed the foot route through the hospital to the tram stop from highway=footway to highway=corridor and removed the correct indoor tagging. These tags were chosen for a specific reason: the route through the hospital is a much shorter interconnection that going round the outside which is what routers now do.

Fortunately I haven't needed to catch a tram in a hurry recently, but this change disables my ability to check how much time I have in hand.

Hi,

If you change terrace to house can you also add house=terraced? Otherwise we are losing a bit of information.

Thanks,

Hi andrea_jp,

Did you mean to add bus stop Albula to the route master of Bus 3? This is unconventional. I see you are a new mapper so that you may have done this inadvertently. Sorry for not writing in German.

Hi Bernard,

I think this pretty regular tagging for people who wish to map car parks in detail (obviously a bit prone to overlaps etc). Probably rare in the UK, but I think increasingly popular elsewhere.

It's also pretty much required to adequately map disabled parking (whether in a car park or isolated places) for actual use. By extension, I'd say that therefore valid for all parking spaces (including other categories such as "mother & child" ones).

Fixed in changeset/113130575

Thanks

Hi,

The really simple way is just to add a level tag, so level=0 for the hairdresser, level=1;2 or 1-2 for the charity. You won't see this difference unless you look with one of the visualisers which are designed for indoor mapping and therefore handle levels. Here's an example of OpenLevelUp with shop nodes in a Shopping Centre, the market is on the first floor: https://openlevelup.net/?l=1#20/52.95609/-1.14703.

A more sophisticated (& complex) way is to map the relevant things as areas within the building & also with level tags.

HTH,

Hi Mike,

wetland=peat_bog looks to be a tag which you are possibly one of the main users of in the UK (and possibly worldwide. Do you have any feeling if it is distinct from wetland=bog?

Do you know if your main usage is on blanket bogs or raised bogs (I presume the former are much commoner in the Pennines).

@JassKurn: several of us have found that mapping landuse farmland (and pasture) on a field by field basis is probably the best way of doing it. Things like hedgerows, fences etc are useful particularly to provide detail for walkers so many of the elements will eventually be added at this level too. This has the advantage that the elements are easier to work with & inspect.

tl;dr: no harm done I think

Hi DaveF,

I've come across this, it looks to be an incorrect preset in the iD editor, clearly people have used landuse=grass to get greens to render, but that is wholly superfluous now. I'm not sure if anyone has raised an issue on GitHub about this, but it needs to be done. It is certainly tedious to have to correct landuse=grass to surface=grass each time & then have the editor yell when you save the edits.

Suggest historic=* and or disused:military=*. There are loads of old military sites mapped. The basic tagging for gun batteries is here bunker_type=gun_emplacement (not sure how one deals with ones in use & one's not in use, but suspect vast majority are latter).

Whilst I appreciate that iD often makes somewhat erroneous suggestions, as an experienced editor I would expect you not to accept them as gospel.

I note that "building:type" was only prominently marked as deprecated on the wiki in 2019 not in 2013 when I used the tag. You just cannot assume that: a) someone is aware that a tag has been deprecated by some group of contributors (often a small group); and b) that the tag was not added before anyone suggested it was deprecated. Always the goal should be to leave OSM data no worse than before one edited.

In practice I haven't actually correctly identified the Crane houses: there are very similar houses built almost contemporaneously in brick (but also rendered). There is a plan in this document (I have seen originals btw) https://committee.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/Data/Wollaton%20and%20Lenton%20Abbey%20Area%20Committee%20(Area%207)/20110215/Agenda/SuttonPasseysDraftAppraisalV1%20-%2045933.pdf, and once you know the difference it's easy to check on Mapillary as I have traces on most of the roads.

The building:design suggestion is a good one, and will work better than building:type. I do note the key is not documented & has low usage. To date I have used SK53:NCC_building tags as placeholders (partly because I don't know the original design numbers), see osm.wiki/Nottingham/Buildings/Council_Housing. Others such as BISF, Tarran-Newland, Wimpey No-fines would fit well with building:design.

Please do me the courtesy of asking why I've tagged something in a particular way, instead of 'fixing' it. I have paritally reverted this changeset because it broke more things than allegedly fixed. The Crane Bungalows were entirely validly tagged as building=bungalow, the additional tag indicated more precisely that they are a particular (very rare) type of unusual prefabricated bungalow. Yes another key might be preferred, but if you don't understand a key value please don't alter it without asking why it is tagged that way. BTW this change was much more substantial than a "minor fix, and should have been recorded as such in the changeset comments.

Except that OS Open Local shows it at the top of Cross Street: certainly seems to move about..

As indeed as shown here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3840285

Looking at the post office locations on will_p's map it might be in the convenience store now (so you put it on the correct side of the road)
