It can’t have been too chaotic if you managed to avoid biting the camera while holding a slice of pizza in front of your face…

Hi Simon,

I mentioned the layer to a local mapper who checked stuff they’d mapped and gave me examples of this pub where the postal name is the pub name. Should the pub name be put in both name and addr:housename fields in such a case?

Another question they raised was regarding farm buildings (barns, etc) which are part of a site relation which I notice the wiki shows as Proposed and Abandoned, even though the tag page shows over 133,000 such relations. In this case the address would probably go either on the relation or the way/multipolygon relation with role perimeter.

Something similar applies to school buildings where the address is on the amenity=school area rather than the individual buildings within the area.

But it is still a useful tool to check buildings without addresses.

Thanks

Ed

See Tibetan (Uchen) here: http://www.visiblemantra.org/avalokitesvara.html - I think it is nearly identical, though your image has an extra character at the end.

Congratulations on reaching your next milestone. The next target is being questioned about what you are doing by an officer of the law…

(Joking, partially; I was collecting house numbers in a village in the UK once when I was questioned by a local officer after residents must have seen me collecting house numbers and thought I was looking for somewhere to break into).

OK, ta. Certainly once I’ve got the tiles cached here it is really quick. Perhaps my connection was just playing tricks on me at the time.

“(That’s the deal by the way, if there’s any pub landlords reading this… switch2osm, and we’ll come drink there!)”

Is this offer limited to the UK, or some smaller sub-area?

Do you have tile caching? It just feels like I’m waiting for tiles to render and as I’m looking at the area around your link would have expected things to feel a bit quicker.

I was going to make a similar suggestion to TomH but with the two names the other way around (assuming you’d also have tourism=attraction on there, so the name would be the name of the attraction).

Your diary entry reminds me of my brief visit to MK. I was cycling one path alongside a river which might have been in Ouzel Valley Park when the second of the screws holding my GT-31 on the handlebars escaped due to the vibrations (I hadn’t noticed the first one go) and my GPS went bouncing off along the path. I still use it now (and have a replacement bicycle mount). After making the earlier mistake I remembered a tip the local pet shop gave me after I bought about 5 of those little screw together canisters for cat collars to put in contact and vet details - put a bit of nail varnish on the thread as it doesn’t come undone without a little bit of force. The GT-31 mount now has dark blue nail varnish across the screws (the cat has managed to lose the entire collar, but I suspect the cylinder is still intact).

I believe it is too late to restore the data as there are so many people remapping affected areas already; restoring now might lead to duplicate items, which will only become more likely as time passes. When I have odd moments I am helping with some of the tasks shown at http://rebuild.poole.ch/ to help with the remapping exercise.

I mentioned this on numbfew’s recent diary entry, but just in case did you know about http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/9 which covers Newcastle, which can be used to co-ordinate remapping, or at least cover the area fairly systematically. I’m afraid for the squares I’ve been given I can only trace the missing roads from aerial imagery, but hopefully this will help when you come to add names back.

You might or might not know about http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/9 which covers Newcastle, which can be used to co-ordinate remapping.

Not vandalised, but it had been modified previously by someone who didn’t agree to the new licence, and the Redaction Bot has removed their contributions. See for example this way: osm.org/browse/way/18677320

As well as the page Sanderd17 mentions you might also like to see the page about fixing TIGER alignment but yes, discussing it on the US mailing list is probably the best place to start.

This link shows all the OSM lists. You can then click on talk-fr in the list, and then visit their archives.

If so, then it all looks OK from a quick glance, except perhaps the natural=grass area, which perhaps should be landuse=grass

Is this the area? osm.org/go/evWFmqn9–

Getting rid of the initial crud can be time consuming, but once done you can get an RSS feed for an area and keep on top of new reports.

Most of the valid reports I was getting near here were about missing speed limits, so I made an effort to add them to as many roads as possible (I have a few still to do), but this made the new bug reports even less frequent (and often still useless with no description of the issue, though I do still review the area where the bug was reported to see if there is anything obvious).

There are tags for all these items, but you might have to learn to use advanced mode in Potlatch 2 (which also lets you tag buildings as restaurants).

See for example:

amenity=fuel for gas stations osm.wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfuel

shop=department_store for department stores osm.wiki/Tag:shop%3Ddepartment_store

website= for the website osm.wiki/Key:website
(or url= - linked from above page and both widely used)
