PS, I'd suggest natural=rock rather than tourism=attraction. It seems odd to be an "attraction" without even a trail approaching.

Thanks for clarifying. In that case, a single tag would be appropriate, "name" not "name:en". Cheers.

PS, translator says "Lion King's Pointing Station". Is this real?

144571241 over 1 year ago

Hi. Combined zh/en name should be at "name" tag, the name you entered should be at "name:zh", and the English translation only at "name:en". See many examples nearby.

PS, no ' in Peppers; see lake.

Hi. Would that name possibly be Solomon, not Solman? See peak name.

(Solomon's grave is in the valley; I visited it.)

Hi. For a multilingual name, there's a recommended way, and a good example is at osm.org/relation/4555987#map=12/53.4832/-113.7502

President Pass is also doubled.

Hi. There was already a Kiwetinok Pass at the true height of land; I measured it in person. The CanVec version was in the wrong place as usual, but at least the error was invisible till now. Cheers.

Hi. Please don't invent names for sidewalks. Most sidewalks don't have, or need, names.

There's a slightly more appropriate "description" tag, though sidewalks don't generally need descriptions either.

Hi Solarisphere.

For your imports, might I suggest simplifying the waterways? They seem to be quite over-noded, out of scale to the overall precision.

I've done some bulk trimming in other areas while working on forest. In JOSM, I'd search for "waterway:stream allindownloadedarea source:CanVec", then Simplify (Shift-Y), with a precision of 3m (arbitrary, results in major trimming with virtually no visual difference).

BC is already a massive download if you're using offline maps. Cheers.

The unfortunate term "unclassified" keeps on giving, doesn't it? As most of us know, it's a perfectly valid classification, but newcomers see it as "needs to be fixed". It's a UK-ism we're stuck with.

I don't want to discourage accurate mapping; it all makes the map better. You're not the only mapper to map clearcuts, but I'm afraid the forests will grow back faster than enough OSM mappers can keep up with them. But, whatever you decide to work on is fine with me.

There's a pretty sweet viewpoint at the end of that trail. Have you been there?

Hi yegbin. Nice work on the added detail!

However, natural=forest isn't a recognized tag; you want either natural=wood or landuse=forest. I've been using the latter because the forest is actually used, for logging.

Also, I'm not sure about natural=grassland. I'm familiar with that area; it was logged a few years ago, so now it's full of young trees growing back.

In my mind, the entire area qualifies as landuse=forest (even the young-trees area), and that's how I've been mapping similar areas.

I believe there is recognized tagging for clearcuts, but I don't recall what it is. :) Too labor-intensive for me.

More info: https://vlwcommprod.blob.core.windows.net/vlwcomm-files/396b3328-e96a-47c0-b266-803003494c30-c94ba8b3-c400-4985-a4ae-92f261b2f6c2-SPR%20Bridge%20Removal%20.pdf

I'll leave it to other mappers to fine-tune this, if desired. EG, the extent of the closure is said to be 129-131 Streets; I didn't get into splitting the existing ways, in case the actual extent is different.

Groat Road below is closed for only a few days, and it's not appropriate to adjust the map there for a short-term closure.

More to the point, you broke the river.

:)

And there has been peace in Edmonton ever since.

129765303 over 2 years ago

Edmonton is same. My property tax bill shows the street address as "... NW". NW *is* the official name.

It took me a while to de-expand the whole city, thanks to that charming import.

Forgot to mention: the relation also needs type=multipolygon. Example: osm.org/relation/6723248

127271702 almost 3 years ago

If I can elaborate... Create a relation, containing all 5 ponds as outer members. Tags (name etc.) go on relation only, not on member ways (remove those), so tags are recorded only once, and rendered only once.

Add the two islets as inner members, and they'll un-disappear. And I'd double-check spelling of that islet. Cheers.
