Hello, it was it the "Canton de Genève, Orthophoto 2021".
But we can see in "Ortho Express 2023" that it is no more.

In fact there was already osm.org/node/139446600 created 17 years ago that marks the highest point. It is also probably better placed according to the level lines and https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/chemin-des-arales

Hello, what is the source for the position of Geneva high Point?

Yes, coming from the roundabout I saw sign 4.01 without any speed limit, implying a 120 km/h limit. Coming from the expressway through the tunnel, there is a 40 km/h limit, lifted before the junction with the road from roundabout, implying a 100 km/h limit. The signs are inconsistent.

Inventer des ponts inexistants n'est pas une "résolution", c'est une erreur.

Thanks, a copy-paste error.

Hello SomeoneElse,

You are right, being a provincial capital is a criteria to consider. Being a destination with signs on major roads is also a criteria (but I found more Redruth than Truro).

I read in Wikipedia about Cornwall that "the largest settlements are Falmouth (23,061), Newquay (20,342), St Austell (19,958), and Truro (18,766)." Is Wikipedia wrong, or have you been misled by the OSM tagging when writing that Truro is the largest settlement in Cornwall?

To stay on Wikipedia, I just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_status_in_the_United_Kingdom and the very first sentence ends with: " which might or might not meet the generally accepted definition of cities."

Still in Wikipedia, Truro is not in most list of cities I read: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_villes_du_Royaume-Uni, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_grote_Britse_steden, https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_ora%C8%99elor_din_Regatul_Unit. It is in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_im_Vereinigten_K%C3%B6nigreich but in a secondary list.

In fact, I don't see how a sign with the word "city" can be of any relevance for OSM. The "city" in "place=city" is just a computer code that could be renamed overnight to "settlement_level_1". I'd go so far as to say that it were the case from the start, mapping of place=* would have been much much more consistent across the world. It would also be clearer for many non-native English speaker. For example, the difference between city and town is a bit mysterious to me, both being translated as "ville" in French.

Hello Andy, I didn't know the wiki was barely read, thank you for giving a link to https://community.openstreetmap.org.

I won't change the map data. I have written in osm.wiki/Talk:Tag:place%3Dcity what I think of the consensus of some communities.

England population density is 434/km². France population density is 119/km². And in 25% of the departments, it is less than 50/km². See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonale_du_vide.

Richard,
1. you think I'm ignorant
2. your arguments are inane
I won't argue on these grounds.

Hello Jerry, thank you for your courteous reply.

I also share the opinion that population alone is an insufficient criterion. There are places that are the most important communication, business and cultural hubs around. They often have an international airport, a major railway station, a university, and are therefore known far and wide. They appear in numerous air, rail and road destinations. And this corresponds reasonably well to the short description in the OSM wiki: "place=city: The largest urban settlement or settlements within the territory."

General maps make these places visible at scales comparable to openstreetmap.org zoom levels 6-8.

As you can probably imagine, Britain isn't the only country where old villages have been called "cities" since the Middle Ages. And it's a pretty common and rather childish joke for the locals to pass off their village as a "city" by putting forward arguments in the same half-serious tone as Richard. But the best ones are the shortest.

That the UK community of 10 years ago, when OSM was still very incomplete, stumbled on this slightly eccentric consensus, why not. But OSM is a global map. And today, Western Europe in OSM presents on its north-western flank a mishmash of the Middle Ages (because of the place=city in Britain) and the 21st century (the motorway network, for example). A joke that lasts 10 years isn't funny, it's starting to turn into a shameful stain. The UK community should think again, seriously this time.

This is a violation of osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground

Why this violation of the fundamental OSM mapping rule to map what is on the ground?

Thanks for the alert, it should be fixed.

Oui, village me semble aussi très bien.

A savoir que pendant un temps, Veyrier était noté comme ville dans OSM.

Well, Luzern and Lugano do not have a population of 100000+. They do not have international airports.
On the other hand, the population of their agglomeration is 100000+, they have universities (albeit very small), all trains stop in their station.
But are they important enough to be on distant street signs? We can find street signs for Luzern near Zurich and Basel. But not for Lugano, while there is a sign for Chiasso near Basel! I am not conviced for Lugano.

Bonjour Zutter73, en fait nous pensons reclasser en primary l'ensemble de la route de Nyon à La Cure (D1005). En effet, c'est la route indiquée par la signalisation routière 4.32 pour le trajet Lausanne - Dijon. La route est aussi en rouge dans de bonnes cartes comme map.geo.admin.ch et https://www.viamichelin.com.

Bonjour

Route 500 est intéressant, mais il ne faut pas perdre de vue que le but d'OSM est de mapper le terrain, pas des documents. Ainsi au rond-point de Doussard on a un panneau D21b blanc "Tailloires" pour la D909a, et les panneaux bleu "A41" et vert "Annecy" pour la D1508. Le dimensionnement des routes est aussi différent: le côté Talloires n'est guère prévu pour les poids lourds, etc. Les données de trafic penchent aussi naturellement pour la D1508 (https://www.haute-savoie.gouv.fr/Politiques-publiques/Votre-departement/Deplacements/Circulation-routiere/Carte-interactive-du-trafic). Mais ce qui m'a fait vraiment penché, comme j'ai indiqué en commentaire, c'est que je voulais montrer aux gens consultant la carte pour un long trajet qu'il y avait clairement des route plus adaptées et prévues pour le trafic lourd et/ou longue distance: D1508 et voie des Aravis. Les traversées de Talloires, Menthon, Veyrier, ne sont guère prévues ni adaptées à ce trafic.

Bonjour,
La source est le cadastre, comme indiqué pour l'attribut "source" du bâtiment.
Dans l'ortho HR 2018 on voit la forme du bâtiment à sa base, sous les étages supérieurs qui dépassent largement.

Hello, I added about 100 nodes because the curves were very rough. For the alignement, as you can in the changeset, I used the imagery visible in iD editor. Maybe it is not well aligned. But only some roads were not well aligned with the Bing imagery in iD, so I am really not sure. Of course, bridges are always a problem in aerial pictures, so I am not sure which alignement is better. On which aerial imagery do you check te alignement?
