When you go to here: osm.org/user/ThadG

you can go to your settings and set your location. This will show about 30 users of Openstreetmap in your area. Look when they did the last edit and see if there are active ones.

You can also look on the map and click "history". There are a lot of bots working but if you see an edit of a small area, that's probably a local editing. Check out his other edits to see if he's from the region.

Wonderful. Do you live near that area? there seems to be additional paths going through the smile.

Well, it has oneway paths (as the post said: fountains that block your way back) so if those parts are tagged as oneway, than it could work.

If the maximum speed you can get on that road is very small because of the surface, I tag it as a track.

So a track is something where a car can ride, but normal people don't want to ride there because of the bad road conditions. Most routers will avoid tracks or only use them for the last meters.

A gym is not a sport, it's a place where you do sports. As such, it is probably best to tag it leisure=sports_centre: osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dsports_centre

If you want to, you can tag the possible sports separately.

Sorry, forgot my link: osm.wiki/Map_Icons

Please look here to find the current icons, the criteria for new icons (if you want to make a new one) and how to request that your icon appears on the map.

The noexit tag is useful for mapping two roads that are close but not connected. Otherwise armchair mappers could think they are connected and connect them.

A "report" button would also be handy. So admins can be notified quicker.

You know that there are some apps that have been blocked because they bulk downloaded tiles? The problem wasn't the downloading, but the problem was that the majority of tiles wasn't rendered yet. Nobody wants to see the see at zoom level 18 if there is nothing to see.

A result of those apps was that 90% of the rendering queue were tiles that nobody will ever see. this caused serious slowdowns for the mappers who wanted to see their changes rendered.

In what way is the application you give different? Won't it cause the same problems?

Welcome to OSM. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. This is a community project, and if somebody sees a mistake, (s)he will correct it.

As for your map, Germany is quite complete. But I do see that there is a lot of work to do: there are no addresses on the map (and that's worth many days of mapping).

Maybe some task that is easier to do: Secondary ways like this: osm.org/browse/way/24545563 don't seem to have a maxspeed. Secondary ways without speed limit mean that you can drive quite fast. But I don't think this is the case here.

I only mention these things for the case that you are bored and don't know what to map, there is stuff enough to map!

Oh, and before I forget it: happy mapping and thanks for helping!

Wil je meehelpen aan openstreetmap? of wil je enkel reclame verspreiden?

Als je bijvoorbeeld al je GPS tracks van de ritten zou uploaden zouden wij al tevreden zijn. Als je zelf aanpassingen aan de kaarten zou maken (bijvoorbeeld snelheidslimieten of andere dingen toevoegen), dan zouden wij natuurlijk heel tevreden zijn.

Groeten,
Sander

Welkom bij OpenStreetMap.

Zoals je waarschijnlijk wel weet is OpenStreetMap voor kaarten wat Wikipedia als een encyclopedie is. Het is de bedoeling dat je zelf vanalles toevoegd.

Op openstreetmap kan zowat alles met een locatie worden opgeslagen, van straten tot vuilinbakken en zelfs individuele bomen. Als je wil weten wat vaak op de karat gezet wordt, dan kan je op onze wiki kijken: osm.wiki/Map_Features

Om de "tags" te zien in potlatch2 (de standaard editor) moet je in advanced mode gaan. Anders zie je vereenvoudigde voorstellingen van die tags.

Als je vragen hebt mag je me altijd contacteren. Als je hier een vraag aan mij stelt is de kans groot dat ik het niet zie (aangezien ik er geen meldingen van krijg).

Happy Mapping,
Sander

Bienvenue chez OSM.

OSM est come Wikipedia pour les cartes, si vous voyez quelque chose et c'est pas sur la carte, vous pouvez l'ajouter.

Chez OSM, on ne collecte pas seulements les noms des rues, on peut ajoutez toutes sortes d'information. On peut ajouter des adresses, des restaurants, des magasins, des limites de vitesse, des routes pour les cyclistes ... en bref: tout qui a une location.

Si vous avez des questions concernant OSM, n'hesitez pas à me contacter, je parle pas très bien le francais, mais j'espere que vous le comprenez.

Maintenant, je suis en train de completer mon propre village, et cést presque finit pour mon norm. osm.org/?lat=50.94024&lon=3.06434&zoom=16&layers=M

A gate is just a gate, sometimes there are gates to keep the cattle in a certain area, but people are allowed to open the gate. So in fact, the gate (and any barrier) should be tagged with the right access tag and the way too.

maybe somehing like

genus:50% = ganzania
genus:30% = ...

I know this is done by biologists (not the tagging, but the usage of percentage): they throw a square meter in the area and then count what part of the surface is taken by what kind of plants.

Welcome to OSM, thank you for your edits. All parts of info make OSM a bit more complete. Until we're better then all other map providers :-P But watch out: it's addictive :-P

happy mapping
