Hi Malc147,

Your edit looks pretty good, I've just removed the name from the garage though, the "name" key should only be used for things that have a real-world name.

I've ran through dozens of features with superfluous descriptions today, but I'll admit my standards will have slipped over that time, I see now the description is fine. I'll revert this changeset in a moment.

@Cebderby, no problems there, I initially aligned my imagery with a bunch of GPS traces I took and then compared to Cadastral parcel layer, which happened to fit properly anyway.

In any case, since not all of the local map features will have been created with the same alignment, I'm fitting/refining everything together at the same time.

Should look much neater after I'm done, and if need be, everything can be re-aligned mechanically after that point.

I set-up my imagery alignments to match multiple GPS traces I took in open areas around Dalgety Bay, which seem to match up with Cadastrel parcels as well.

And while I acknowledge that the alignment I'm using might not be perfect, I'm using it for the whole of Dalgety Bay at once so everything is aligned consistently before I start adding crossings and sidewalks.

Related, that kink you point out is intentional: I'm realigning Dalgety Bay square-by-square which means things on the boundaries of these squares will have weird kinks in them until I get round to aligning them with everything else.

By my estimate, I'm about 70% done re-aligning Dalgety Bay, so hopefully should be finished in the next 2 weeks or so.

Hi Andrum99,

Is there a particular reason you've changed the alignment on part of the cycle path? I'm currently working on realigning/refining Dalgety Bay in line with GPS traces so everything is consistent.

S'all right, I'll revert it just now. StreetComplete should have an option to undo in the bottom left but if the change gets uploaded then it's too late by that point and has to be manually edited back.

Hi Feather-Coco, welcome to OpenStreetMaps :)

Just wanted to check, does this parking really require a fee? The website for the Adamson Hotel claims "free off street parking".

No problem! In the iD editor, select the attached point and press D (or right click and select Disconnect).

In the interests of preserving the element history, I'll revert this changeset and replicate it so it's the same as it is now, just with the history intact.

Hi BigusDeekus, welcome to OpenStreetMaps.

A few things to note:

1. After you're done drawing a building, you should select it and press Q. This will make sure that all of the building's sides are at right angles to one another, which is almost always the case in real life.

2. When you drew the building, you attached one of its points to a "landuse=residential" way. You should *generally* avoid attaching buildings and highways to landuse ways because this makes it harder to edit them in the future if need be.

3. I've also made the building geometry a bit more detailed, but that's just me. Don't worry about getting the geometry of buildings exactly right, the most important thing is they're added to the map at all. Someone else can always come along and refine the details if need be.

Otherwise, your tagging looks good, more detail than one would usually expect which is nice. if there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask :)

Hi Clthreeoneeight, welcome to OpenStreetMaps!

Was curious, is there a particular reason that you deleted the old cross over links and then re-drew them? It's generally not advised to delete and re-draw elements because this ends up deleting the history of the map element too.

Hi elviajedekathrin.

Small note, please try to keep your changesets to within relatively small areas. Changesets like this one alert a lot of people to map changes which don't affect them, and makes it more difficult to keep track of edits to the map generally.

Happy mapping!

Hi Kasjus, welcome to OpenStreetMaps :).

Just to point out, when making a bunch of map edits at once, try to keep them to within a relatively small area. In this case, you've made edits that span half the globe, which pings a huge number of people to changes which probably don't affect them, and makes it much harder for others to keep track of changes in their local area.

Happy mapping!

Hi Le Yaneuh, welcome to OpenStreetMaps.
Friendly note, when making map edits, keep them to within a relatively small area. Here, you've made an edit in Iceland and in Switzerland which alerts everyone in between to the changes, and makes it harder to keep track of changes.
Happy mapping!

Hi Limo, regarding WAY: 1182111809, why did you remove the building tag and add landuse=residential? It looks like a building from the satellite imagery, and I believe the building use is part residential and part commercial.

I did verify manually each and every element grabbed by the query, no worries.

And the area id thing: I'd initially tried looking for the relation ID for the UK but couldn't figure out how to find it so settled on the name method instead. I'll keep it in mind for next time, cheers.

Hi Bibechana Sharma, your changeset looks pretty good. I've rotated some of the buildings a little bit as I've noticed in the past that Rapid mapwithai sometimes suggests buildings rotated slightly, but noticeably wrong. Made a few other changes including more geometry detailing and orthogonalizing building way:1184641079. Happy mapping!

Thanks for the kind words Friendly_Ghost, and thanks for making the script :) . Honestly, I spent some hour or two faffing about with it since my understanding of Overpass is somewhat surface level but if you're curious, I've copied up the exact script I used in the Overpass API through JOSM in this pastebin, along with some comments of my rudimentary understanding.
https://pastebin.com/3LB5YY7T
I didn't change any of the actual regex stuff, just the area which is searched, and a few bits at start and end so that I could run it through JOSM instead of Overpass Turbo.

No problem, happy mapping :)

Righto, thanks for that.

Fair enough I suppose, I'm considering in the distant future maybe to start mapping crossings in the area per the wiki (osm.wiki/Key:crossing) which will probably be quite an undertaking.
