I added links to 2 Youtube videos to our wiki page

and a link to Overpass Turbo on (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodstopstrook) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_truck_ramp#See_also)

Editing with Overpass and Level0

Hehe, my first thought was also: mechanical edit. On the other hand, anything that helps mappers be more productive has my blessing.

I would probably have used Notepad++ to perform the search/replace as it supports regex (regular expressions; a very powerful way to work with text and morph it).

Thanks for looking into this. There is a good chance it will come in handy later on.

GORDON'S ALIVE

Frederik Ramm is on his way to add support for undelete in JOSM. He changed something to the API already during the latest Karlsruhe hackweekend.

I’m a complete JOSM convert now, but at some point I was using both Potlatch1/2 and JOSM alternatingly. Glad to see it got some improvements.

What is the OpenStreetMap convention? Do we tag addresses on buildings or on separate nodes?

Or an Address relation containing the building, an entrance=main node at the front door and a node where the mailbox is located? I almost forgot to add the parcel to it.

Everybody happy!

Polyglot (who would also be in favour of a node per address, but does it go inside the building outline, or as a node of the building outline where the front door is?)

Daten für Cusco Peru

Ich habe vor 2 Jahren viel daten 'surveyed' für Cusco,Urubamba,Quillabamba und Santa Teresa. Leider nur ein Jahr nachher eingetragen. Viele Strassen haben jetzt Namen und es sind sogar welche Hausnummern eingetragen von mir!

Viel Spass, ich werde leider nicht schnell neu ins Peru gehen.
