I have reverted this

Hi, welcome to OSM.

I am a little confused by this change as this has always been Church of England, yet you have changed the denomination to Catholic. I believe that this edit should be undone.

Hi, I am not sure that this will fix the issue with navmii. Oneway is unnecessary on a roundabout

Looking back at the history of this, the problem you are seeing was fixed a year ago and based on my experience of navmii the map data has not been updated. I did express my concern to them at SOTM Brussels. They lack resources to provide timely updates.

You may want to try an alternative navigation app which uses OSM such as OSMand or maps.me.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I do believe that this change should be undone.

It does need discussion, I and other mappers do consider these to be different
things, or at least require subtagging.
Maybe souvenir should be a subtag of gift, but simply removing that important piece of information means that surveyed information is lost.

On the discussion page osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:shop%3Dgift a very good comment has been added "For me, a souvenir shop is where you stop by far away from home to take something along for you, a gift shop is where you get in on the way to the birthday party you forgot about. They are two quite distinct concepts."

It also says on the wiki page "Automated edits are strongly discouraged unless you really know what you are doing!"

The wiki is supposed to document how mappers, map it should not be taken as an instruction on how to map or what is right or wrong.

Hi, this appears to be an undiscussed mechanical edit. Did you follow the procedure detailed in osm.wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct and if so where was it discussed?

In my experience the two are different and this type of tag homogenising just makes for a bland map.

Hi, this name does not fit the OSM naming convention. The name should be one or the other. Use either alt_name or loc_name tags for other names.

Hi, this does not fit the wiki description of a living street. It is, as previously tagged a residential street (what it looks like) that has bollards. It is legally a cycleway.

Hi, something has gone a little wrong here, I doubt that the name of the bus stop has been changed and unless something has been demolished please simply change the tag to disused:amenity=fuel. A close garage is still a landmark.

Hi, what is the source of these edits?

Also the name suggests a record shop, however you continue to mistag and in this case have used electronics.

Cheers Phil

Hi, thank you for your reply. The building has tags saying it is both a church and a medical centre, this is obviously confusing. Maps.me is a bit Mickey Mouse and doesn't handle this type of change at all well.
Would you be able to used the editor from osm.org and fix it?
You will need to change amenity=place_of worship and change it to amenity=doctors and remove the name Trinity Church.
If you need any help please ask.
Cheers Phil

Hi, Orrell Park Medical Centre is a very odd name for a church. Are you sure it is correct?

55809018

Hi, this is a very odd name for a pub, are you sure its not an off-license which would be tagged as shop=alcohol?

Cheers Phil

Hi, the tagging you are using is a bit confusing. On way way/555254812#map=16/52.4658/-2.2879 you have used access=private and foot=yes, these values contradict each other. If you can walk but not drive then maybe it should be motor_vehicle=private?

Cheers Phil

Hi, the shoulder of mutton is already mapped. This is a duplicate.

Cheers Phil

Hi, the name of a filling station is not going to be Shell, that is the brand they sell and is already correctly tagged. I am reverting this change.

55559688

Hi, the tag tourism=apartment is intended to indicate a place that can be rented for a holiday. It is misleading to use it in this way. You could maybe map the building as building=apartments?

Cheers Phil

Hi, I am wondering how you decided that Circle Cars is a Logistics company. That involves trucks. It is a taxi office, the name is a big clue.

Your armchair edit has now changed the meaning. Please do not remotely fix tags without considering what the mapper who added the tag meant.

Hi, a building can never be a park. We tag thing as they are You need to consider the question "Is it somewhere I would want to sit and read a book or eat my lunch"?

55245074

Hi, please could you add changeset comments so that local mappers can understand what you were trying to achieve.
