Review requested. It's quite complex with all the paths around here (as it is in real life) but I would say you did fine with the steps and levels etc. Personally I wouldn't map to that level of detail as long as pedestrian routing works through the market.

One question though, it looks like you deleted the footway ramp between 17 and 19 Drake St. Was this intentional - is the ramp gone? It is quite a 'famous' piece of history in the Markets: http://victoriaparkmarket.co.nz/victoria-park-market/celebrity-walk/

That's cool - it sounds like you've done a survey on the ground and have updated the map accordingly, thanks.

Thanks for edit, I'm reviewing as requested.
Good work adding the missing red trail, and adding the names is helpful.
Your changesets added and refined the main trail, but it looks like you removed some of the side-trails in the process. Are these side trails actually gone? I can see on the Strava heatmap that these trails still appear to be used.

Strava's global heatmap can be used as a source for OSM editing, and can help supplement your ground survey: https://www.strava.com/heatmap#18.97/174.27118/-36.48495/hot/all

Hi Pax welcome to OSM and thanks for your contributions.
I would agree that the ventilation buildings are not towers, but I would say that these features don't need names ('ventilation' is a description of their purpose, better reflected in some other tag). Also I would have thought that building=service was a more descriptive tag than building=yes.
Check these links on the wiki:
osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions

osm.wiki/Tag:building%3Dservice

Appreciate your edits though, I'm reviewing your other changesets in the area :)

> test if improves walking routing.
It can improve pedestrian routing (especially at complex intersections), but it needs to be meticulously maintained and connected to the existing street network. This post is bang on, IMO: https://www.reddit.com/r/openstreetmap/comments/9gxa1x/mapping_sidewalks/e69hyti/

To illustrate how the network topology can become broken by mapping separate sidewalks, see what a routing engine does when the sidewalk isn't well connected to the road network: https://i.imgur.com/TJlWMGT.png
I'd suggest that all the footpaths added/edited in this edit should be reversed, as these roads have standard footpaths sufficiently well represented by the main highway, and in fact the drawn separate footpaths degrade the pedestrian routing, as shown above. Alternatively, the footpaths need to be attached to the road network at every intersection.

OK cool, thanks for flagging for review.
If I look at the changeset in OSMCha (follow the link in my first comment) I can see that you added an extra node on the boundary of the residential area - an insignificant change. This is the node: osm.org/node/8181757139

Another tip is to use the "Highlight changes" feature in the editor (Map Data -> Style Options -> Highlight Changes) to see where you have made edits.

I agree though that sometimes it is difficult or impossible to know exactly what was changed, before submitting. Then once published, in OSMCha you can see full details

Hi Elfoniok thanks for the edits, it's very useful to have these paths on the map!

Just a note that it seems you accidentally dragged a an address node (53B Gulf View Road) across the road to a different location. No drama - this is an easy mistake to make, and I've reverted it already.

When you submit your changes and are writing the changeset comment, you can have a look at the list of changes at the bottom of the panel, to double check that your changes were all intended.

Hi kylenz thanks for updating the suburb point locations, the closeness of Vauxhall/Narrow Neck had been bothering me too, and I agree with the locations you've moved them too.

It looks like this changeset unintentionally merged the Narrow Neck suburb node with the address point node for 11A Handley Ave, and dragged it to a new location in the process. See osm.org/node/5504305220/history

Hi kwizzy, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edits. Looking good - especially valuable to have the businesses added in Kingsland.

I can see that you have been adding sidewalks as separate ways. This is a legitimate way of mapping sidewalks, as documented on the OSM Wiki: osm.wiki/Sidewalks#Sidewalk_as_separate_way

I'll just note that mapping footpaths this way in Auckland Central can be contentious, as we don't have a local consensus on whether to map them this way. So a heads up that other editors may remove your carefully drawn footpaths.

If you'd like to join community discussions around OSM, there's a mailing list and a slack channel (Maptime Oceania) which are linked to after you make an edit on the website.

Names should not be used for descriptions, eg "path between Epsom Ave and gillies Ave".

If a path doesn't have a name, it doesn't have a name.

@kylenz yes I believe you've misread the changeset. The tag was indeed added to the Wellington/Hamilton shelters. It was removed only from the West Akl park picnic shelters.

Yeah that isn't so clear, and I see it done both ways. Personally I draw the beach out as far as the sand is visible in the aerial imagery (ie where you pulled the coastline out to). Different renders will show it in different ways, some will show the sand underwater, others not at all.

Hi kylenz,
It looks like in this changeset you've redrawn the coastline at beaches along a low-tide point (as is visible in the default 2017 imagery). Please note that coastline is intended to represent the high-tide point, see osm.wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcoastline

Welcome to OSM and thank you for your contribution. I have reviewed your edit and it looks good :) I've also added the playground slide which is next to the steps.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for your edits updating Parnell Businesses, it's great to have your local knowledge on the map.

I see you updated the address of the Indian restaurant, but you left the node in the same location. I have now updated the location to number 193 accordingly (and I deleted the previous node at #193 for Alphabet cafe)

I also deleted the node for Farside pub.

Don't be afraid to drag nodes to their new location if a business has moved, or delete them entirely if the business has closed :)

No worries Daniel, thanks for following up. Yes on OSM the "highway" key is used for all sorts of paths like cycleways, shared paths, walking trails.. etc.
