I think it would be best to apply the relation to two nodes, not a node and a way. Please see my alternative proposal for details.

I think that the colors are too light, especially at lower zoom levels.

I do not like the new train station icon or the new parking icon.

Why is there an icon for restaurant and cafe but not fast food?

Please delete this.

Note that the proper tag for a bicycle shop is shop=bicycle. That way it will show on the cycle map.

In any case I personally am ignoring the advice of that individual. After all, the area of the actual park does not include the area between the road centerline and the road's edge.

Looks fine to me and shows up correctly in the coastline viewer: http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/coastlines.html?zoom=10&lat=-27.1141872426379&lon=-109.3666460604&layers=B00T It should render properly the next time the coastline is imported.

Personally I consider a sign on a building as valid evidence of the street name. I have had to rely upon this numerous times while mapping.

please no spam here

Still faster than Google Maps (although some streets to the south remain unmapped). It never ceases to amaze me how bad the "maps" created by TeleAtlas/Navteq are. In a few years, they will probably both be forced into bankruptcy.

Biased sample size...

Newer GPSes are much more accurate. My eTrex Legend HCx is usually accurate to about 5m with WAAS/EGNOS on and after acquiring a good fix. Perhaps you should consider upgrading, it'll only cost a little over $200.

Absolutely no. You must visit them yourself. Copying from Google or other online map sites constitutes copyright infringement.

Ouch indeed. Hope the police track down and arrest these people.

My view - start rebuilding the Mapnik database more often (ideally daily). Then there will be little need for Tiles@home, which is clearly terribly inefficient. Mapnik is much more efficient - after all it all runs on one server. Of course, if someone can figure out how to greatly reduce T@H's CPU and RAM consumption, go ahead...

Personally, I think that we should just use Mapnik and get rid of tiles@home. Mapnik is much, much more efficient than tiles@home and if we make Mapnik to update its database more frequently (like daily) then tiles@home will become redundant.

You could try pushing Google to provide satellite photos to us. They are, after all, giving OSM $18000 worth of free labour through Summer of Code. Other than that, I guess you will just have to buy a GPS.

Microsoft dropped their bid for Yahoo, so don't worry about what M$ will do to OSM.

Not too hard is it?

note=missing street sign

You can always try complaining to town council (though that might not actually do anything)
