P.S. When editing in Ohio, don't forget to use the Layers tab to change from "Bing" imagery to "OHIP 6in" imagery - it is much more clear and easier to edit with!

Hi, I also took a look, and did a few cleanups for you. Take a look at what I did, which will help you out next time.

A few things I cleaned up - in some areas there were roads overlapping each other - this looks "right" in the editor, but confuses software using the map. I also changed the border roads around parking lots to be service roads, and the aisles down the middle to to be "parking_aisle", which also makes it more clear to routers which roads are used to exit the lot, and which are used to find a parking space. I also removed the one-way tags from the parking aisles - unless there is a clear one-way sign, they don't usually need to be marked that way. If some are one-way, then some need to be one-way the opposite direction so you can get back out!

Hope this helps.

Hi MilkmanHere, a number of us have been trying to reach you on the issues with the very large relations you've been creating. I think the problem is that you are adding all of the properties in a neighborhood to a neighborhood boundary relation, which isn't how those relations are meant to work - the relation is just for an actual boundary line, not the members.

Can you please delete the Summerlake relation, and other similar neighborhood relations you've created? They are breaking the rendering and map in the area due to their high member count.

Apologies, this comment was intended for the original creator of these relations, I see you are trying to fix them! Sorry for the false alarm.

Hi, some of your recent edits are very malformed, and are breaking the map. In particular, joining whole areas into a boundary relation is not how relations are meant to be used, and it is slowing down the map and causing a lot of problems.

Please remove the relations you've created, or they will have to be reverted. If you aren't sure how to do so, let me know and I can help.

Hi, please stop what you are doing - you are creating some very malformed relations and breaking a lot of things with your edits!

You should not be adding all the objects in a location into a "boundary" relation - that relation is for the actual boundary line only. The relations you are creating are extremely malformed and are creating performance problems.

Please revert your changes, or delete the relations you've created. If you aren't sure how, let me know and I can help.

Hi, it is a bit tricky, so I helped you out and corrected the details for your shop. user_5359 is communicating that in a map database, things aren't just described by a name, they are described by "tags" that explain what the thing is. In your case, just having a point with a name is useless, because the map tools don't know if Manzer Equipment is a river, a town, a road, a shop, etc. You can see that I've added tags describing what your shop is. You can add similar tags to the fitness center point if you'd like, now that you see how it is done.

Thanks for mapping! One tip is that after sketching a building, use the "Q" shortcut in the editor to "square" the building, it will align the corners to 90 degrees, and make for a more professional looking result.

Good catch, thanks! I corrected the address labels on the nearby houses as well.

@Woodwosewulf - I'm probably the originator of the recommendation, since that is a tagging convention that has been gaining traction, and is now in common use in CO. Do you concur with a tagging strategy like that?

Hi, nice additions! To make your sidewalks as useful as possible, make sure to connect them to the road network at all crossings, and anywhere else where you could transition from the road to the sidewalk - that will make pedestrian routers work better, since they will have some way to route pedestrians from other roads onto the sidewalk network you've mapped.

Is that what ARC really stands for? Yeesh... Sounds a bit out of date now...

This is close to my daily bike commute - I'll ride it next week and get a GPX trace.

My man, you did add a duplicated residential road (why?) and the sidewalk you added is an uneditable mishmash of sidewalk and unmarked crossing - it would be completely fine to just make that one stretch of sidewalk - splitting it up like that makes it impossible to maintain and adds no value to the map. I fixed the duplicate road, but take a closer look at your edits before uploading, please.

Hi, welcome to OSM! A few tips for your mapping - use the "q" shortcut in iD to "square" buildings after tracing them - it will give them a more professional appearance. You also need to connect sidewalks to roads in places where there are crossings, so that routers can direct people onto them, right now yours are "floating" and not connected to the rest of the road network. Thanks for tidying up your work and happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for mapping! A few tips to help you get started: Use the "Q" shortcut in iD to "square" buildings as you are drawing them, this makes for a much more professional result. Second, you've used the parking_space tag for the parking areas, which is usually for only a single parking space. You want amenity=parking for a whole parking area. Happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for mapping! I have a few suggestions for your edits. First, the "name" field is usually reserved for a roads actual name, so in this case, "private road" isn't the name of the road, so you would just delete the whole name tag.

To indicate that the road is private, it is better to use access tags, so in this case, add a tag called "access" with the value "private" which will tell all OSM data users not to route traffic down the road.

And finally, you can delete the tag "tiger:reviewed=no", which is a tag indicating that this road was imported from the US Census, but that no human has looked at it. Since you are a human and have updated the accuracy of the road, you can remove the tag.

Thanks, and happy mapping.

Hi, welcome to OSM! Thanks for improving the map around Greeley. I have a few tips that will help your mapping - one is to remember to be precise about placing points, draw roads and boundaries as precisely as you can, it will help future mappers. Second, when drawing buildings or things you know are rectangular in real life, you can hit the "Q" key in the editor after drawing, which will square up the corners, and make for a better looking addition. Happy mapping!

Hi, this one has a lot of addresses where "Court" wasn't expanded out from "Ct", for instance, "South Wolcott Court" is shown in the import as "South Wolcott Ct". Would you mind correcting? Thanks - Sam
