Thanks for mapping! However you added a road that already existed, so there are duplicate roads now: osm.org/way/632495491#map=14/8.3524/-2.1381 -- and be aware of the road "classification" or road types. You tagged it as motorway, but motorway is a for a divided highway with controlled access, like an Interstate in the US. Here is more about road classifications: osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

Thanks for mapping! When mapping buildings you should only add to the "name" field if you know what the building is called, and there is a proper name -- such as North School or McDonalds. In this case these are just buildings so probably they don't have names. Here is more about the Name tag osm.wiki/Names

Hello, you mapped this as a motorway, which is a divided highway with exit ramps. It probably should be an unclassified roads. Here is more osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi, you mapped this as a primary_link - that is supposed to be from exit roads from primary roads. I think this is better as an unclassified road. Here is more about highway classifications Hi, it looks like you added a duplicate road here, it already exists, and added it as a motorway when it is probably a residential road. Here is more about highway classifications: osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hello, it looks like you created a building at this roundabout, is that really there? I see you cited ground survey but none of the imagery show it. osm.org/#map=22/6.400705317302275/1.8911584041585667 Thanks!

Gracias para mapear! Aunque, cuando mapeando edificios, debe añadir "building" en vez de "landuse=residential". Por favor dígame si tiene ud. preguntas. Gracias!

Hi, thanks for mapping. The name= field is for the actual name of the place, like "St. Joseph Church" or "McDonald's", not for a note. This information would be better as a note= -- although the owner of a building is not really needed for OpenStreetMap anyway, since it's often personal information. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Mustafa, I noticed that you have changed this road (way 45097821) to trunk. Why do you think this should be trunk? The Highway Tag Africa guidelines suggest that it should be a primary or secondary.
osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa

This appears to be more of an urban collector road that does not connect major cities, and therefore primary or secondary. In general, only the main roads that connect cities should be the highest classifications. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Looks great! Thank you for mapping, please keep it up!

62777366 almost 7 years ago

Thanks for mapping! Looks good, though make sure to split individual buildings and don't map multiple buildings as one

Thanks for mapping! Don't forget to click the s on your keyboard though to square the corners of your buildings. We want to make sure they're all the right shape and most buildings will be rectangular or square

Hi, thanks for your edits. However part of your change doesn't match imagery or GPS traces, can you explain why you mapped it this way? In particular this area: osm.org/changeset/61535236#map=16/35.6464/114.2588
OpenStreetMap is for mapping real world features.
Thanks!

Bonjour encore. Il semble que vous ayez changé tout le réseau routier en pistes. Souhaitez-vous que certains aident à changer les routes à leur état actuel? Il existe des moyens automatisés pour tout retourner aux classifications originales. Comme c'est le cas actuellement, cela ne fonctionnera pas pour la navigation ou le routage.

Thanks for mapping. However these aren't buildings or residential land use so I am going to take them off. Usually buildings will be rectangular or square and also have shadows. Here's more info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJz-AucqF4

Thanks for mapping! You are adding a lot of roads, that is awesome. However a couple suggestions: it's good practice to split roads at intersections, otherwise a tag like a name would be applied to a bunch of roads that might be all different. Each separate road should be a separate way. Also it's good practice to add something to the changeset comment that describes what you are doing. Thanks again! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for mapping! It looks like you mapped a road that was already mapped, and in this case it should probably be an unclassified road instead of primary, which usually refer to major, large highways.

Thanks for mapping! Looks great! And thank you for squaring the corners of your buildings. Can you remind your fellow mappers at your event too?

61199217 almost 7 years ago

Thanks for mapping! However some of your buildings are funny shapes, make sure to click the 's' on your keyboard to make their corners 90 degrees. You can also right click and click "Square" -- here's how https://giphy.com/gifs/9V3I96bqVZ0K9BKZsq
