Possibly I have figured it out - the Cook Islands Topo25 maps?

Hi Kyle I've been editing Rarotonga and have come across a few of your edits which used this custom mapwarper layer. I'm curious what this source was?

Welcome to OSM and thanks for your edits. The ways you are adding appear to be driveways. The convention is to tag these with highway=service and service=driveway. highway=residential should be reserved for the public, named roads.

Agree with your point about Auckland Central, which usually is used to refer to the central suburbs of the isthmus.

To me, the "Auckland" seems redundant in "Auckland City Centre". I think just "City Centre" would be better, that is what is seen on road signs for example: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=279369030565390

I have used the tagging already used for the existing busway. However I note that there is now a "highway=busway" tag for the purpose, but not fully supported yet (it is not rendered by carto)

Hi ralley, something went strangely wrong with this edit: all of the features were created as new duplicate features instead of edits to the existing features. I haven't seen this before, but I guess it will need a revert to fix it.

Should probably be refined, by mapping natural features seperately from the island feature, similar to how I did Rotoroa Island

No worries, your initial edit was a fine start, and with the update it's now perfect :) Approximate boundary is also OK, though I will snap it to the coastline, and I'll add the hut. I like that annotation feature on the wikimedia picture, I hadn't seen that before!

Hi Axel, thank you for your addition of the Wharariki Ecosanctuary. You have added two features to represent it (a centre-point, and a boundary polygon). This is discouraged by the principle of "one feature, one OSM element". I would suggest in this case keeping only the boundary polygon. Also perhaps leisure=nature_reserve is a more fitting tag for this feature. OSMWiki page on this principle: osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

It does need a building tag, plus my suggestion would be leisure=sports_centre, rather than leisure=pitch. See the examples on the wiki (eg "indoor tennis centre"): osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dsports_centre

Hello Haoze, OpenStreetMap is for mapping real things! I can see you have added several walkways and a retail area which do not exist in real life. These should be removed, and please refrain from adding more "fake" things. If you are learning, please start with this page: osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap. I've reviewed your edit and it looks good. Thanks for leaving a changeset comment explaining what you've changed. One tip is to right-click and 'Square' a building, to make all its corner angles 90 degrees (shortcut is 'Q')

Merged adjacent retail areas. Added grass area

Hey ralley just FYI this changeset added some buildings which no longer exist. Unfortunately the building import dataset is built from fairly old imagery (~2017) predating the busway

"Which is better" really depends on preference, both are approved and correct. Personally I only add separate sidewalks at large, complex intersections (eg major intersections of multi lane roads), where pedestrian crossings are marked and signaled. But you will find residential areas where footpaths are extensively mapped (see Millwater). As long as you keep in mind the routing implications, go for gold :) More reading at osm.wiki/Sidewalks

Careful adding footpaths as separate ways, as this can degrade the pedestrian routing for an area. Particularly if the added footpaths aren't connected to the main road network. There should be a connection at every intersection. For example here is some poor pedestrian routing: osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=-36.85587%2C174.78721%3B-36.85537%2C174.78898#map=19/-36.85504/174.78903

As a tip, you can switch the background imagery in ID editor. There are more recent layers available, but they are lower resolution. For example "Maxar Premium Imagery" has 2021 imagery across Auckland, but it probably isn't sharp enough to trace things like parking spaces.

Hi KingCZE, thanks for updating building heights, it's great for consumers like this map that plots shadows cast by buildings: https://shademap.app/@-36.84427,174.76151,16.03309z,1642708224843t,0b,0p

I am wondering what is your source for these heights? If it's public I'd like to join in adding this detail.

Hi KingCZE, welcome to OSM and thanks for adding details. I'm questioning this change you have made to the speed limit on this section of East Coast Road, which does not appear to be correct. You have increased the speed limit from 80 km/h to 100 km/h for the segment north of Rodeo Drive, but this is not supported by the AT speed limits dataset, or this recent (Nov 2021) street-level imagery: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=180502047623738

I've seen there's a signalised pedestrian crossing being installed outside Wolseley Reserve and I'm stoked because I raised it with AT in ~2018 and so I feel personally responsible for it being installed :D
