Sally Army | Are you talking about a place of worship or a place where they fund their other activities by reselling stuff people donate to them? In the case of the latter it's a shop=charity |
|
If you suspect someone has been tracing from Google .. | You can use this site to directly compare OSM and other base map tiles: |
|
Priority Plugs | Don't know about the UK, but we have give way signs (highway=give_way) on the end that has to give way to any on coming traffic. |
|
duplicate entry. | Why did you duplicate this post? |
|
Where's my Bridge? Where's my trails? | If you want attribution that sticks, I suggest you tag your ways with attribution=Copyright 2010, kindly donated by This should, survive merges and splits, and there is a lot of other cc-by attributions already in the DB so it shouldn't be removed. |
|
Where's my Bridge? Where's my trails? | This is actually going to be a big problem for OSM in future, currently when you split ways, depending on the editor being used, one way may keep the old ID number and in turn the history for the way ID, but some editors have not only created a new way which doesn't inherient the history of the old way, but may have created 2 new ways although this was most likely a bug. Then if ways are merged again it's pot luck if the main history is kept or not. |
|
Hotel or Restaurant - which order? | If the data is correct, don't invalidate it to fix broken software. |
|
New imagery? | There is a few DIY projects for getting your own imagery, or if you have money to burn you can buy an off the shelf cropcam.com drone... There is also a guy in Europe making drones for ~$1200 |
|
New imagery? | The agreement was for Haiti imagery, not imagery in general. |
|
Footpaths just missing roads | There is a lot of footpaths in this area that seem to stop almost because they ran out of money, or when a new development went in the developer did the footpath but then they haven't gotten round to adding more or connecting it to anything else, there is no connection to the nearby roadway either. |
|
Undue prominence to cycleways ? | Bah, wrong account... |
|
iPhone GPS users? | The iPhone has a history of poor GPS accuracy, assumed to be antenna design since they use similar chipsets to other devices with better accuracy, I wonder if the iPhone 4 has worst accuracy considering the stink about the antenna design... |
|
Leaving Oklahoma, and a question about mapping autonomous regions | osm.wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative
|
|
Mobile Libraries | You really need to post these kind of things to the tagging mailing list. |
|
Ranting about rendering | I don't know about a secret priority list, but I'm starting to think the expiry for tiles based on minutely updates has broken recently. Yes using /dirty forces tiles to be re-rendered, most of the time in the past caching was a browser issue and clicking on the perm link and hitting ctrl+shift+refresh would force the browser to re-request tiles, but this doesn't seem to be working. |
|
Named footpaths | I'm guessing it should, can you post a URL of the location? |
|
Slow Uploads in JOSM | The status page says the API server pool has been reduced... |
|
Low Node Ids | You seem to have edited some very old nodes... what's the surprise that the IDs would be low? |
|
Postboxen | If you were uploading postbox points what was the validator complaining about? |
|
How to filter | The filter also has an invert option, so what would normally be disabled is then enabled and everything else is disabled. |
