64365392 | over 6 years ago | Hello, just another note, these are probably better off as residential or unclassified roads. Let me know if I can help explain more. osm.wiki/Key:highway |
64365418 | over 6 years ago | Sorry, and the orange primary roads too. Those are usually for connecting major towns or the biggest urban streets. |
64365418 | over 6 years ago | Thanks for mapping! In this case I think some of these roads are classified too high, the secondary roads should probably be tertiary or unclassified. Here are a few examples for that: osm.wiki/Highway_tagging_samples/urban Also the changeset comments should describe what you are mapping, such as "adding a road" -- in this case it says creating an artwork, but I don't see any on this changeset. Let me know if you have any questions! |
60396804 | over 6 years ago | Hello, I saw all your edits adding points of interest and businesses in Nigeria, thank you! It’s really impressive. What source are you using for the data? Maybe others can help you add the information as well. And I have a suggestion too, as well as adding points, it would be helpful to add the names to the roads themselves too. If you have any questions on how to do that let me know and I can help. Thanks,
|
49997739 | over 6 years ago | Thanks for mapping! When mapping roads it's good practice to connect them to the surrounding road network so people can use them to route. Thanks! |
50449858 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping! in this case tertiary is probably too big of a road for this location, it's probably best to be unclassified or even track. A good way to find out is to look at surrounding roads, and there's also the Highway Tag Africa guide I recommend taking a look at osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa -- let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! |
61117191 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping. Make sure to connect roads that should be connected, like here: osm.org/way/355357786#map=19/-9.25752/35.14533 thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. Andrew |
50863949 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping -- when mapping roads make sure to follow the classification that is used in Africa, you can read more here. In some cases you added small roads that were tagged as tertiary, which are generally for bigger feeder roads osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! |
59852985 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping. Make sure not to add roads where they already exist -- you may need to zoom in to make sure it's not there already. It looks like someone fixed it for you. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! |
61010378 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping. When mapping buildings or other features, the Name field is meant for the proper name of something -- such as McDonalds or North High School, not a description such as "house" -- if you don't know the name from local knowledge it's best to leave it blank. Thanks! |
62714315 | over 6 years ago | Hi, thanks for mapping! When mapping roads it's good practice to make sure they link up to the surrounding road network so people can use them for routing or directions. Let me know if you have any questions. |
62168001 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping! However when mapping roads, if you don't know the name of something, just leave it blank. the Name field is for the official name like "Highway 1" or "North Street", not a description. Also, tertiary roads are local feeders, these roads look more like unclassified or residential or even track. Here is more info about highway tags in Africa osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa Thanks again, hope you come back! |
58758188 | over 6 years ago | Ah thanks. Good to know. |
58758188 | over 6 years ago | hi there, I don't see osm.org/way/586350679 on any imagery or GPS traces, is it a brand new road? |
56202760 | over 6 years ago | Hi there, thanks for mapping. When there are more than one building in an area please map them each individually, not as one huge building. |
63615126 | almost 7 years ago | see these buildings for example osm.org/changeset/63615126#map=19/6.20551/7.07129 |
62450801 | almost 7 years ago | Thanks for mapping! You said this is a bridge and only has one lane, I think those are not correct so we'll fix them. You may want to ask your team lead for more help. Thank you! |
62451233 | almost 7 years ago | Hi Danirazi, thanks for mapping. However you are adding these as land use, they should be buildings instead |
63615126 | almost 7 years ago | Thanks! it looks like they all still have name=building though, you should take that off |
62327043 | almost 7 years ago | Thanks for mapping, however the names you're adding look like temporary things, or a reminder to yourself for when you are staying somewhere. OpenStreetMap is for permanent things, I would suggest if you wanted to add dates you export the data or use another map service with OSM as a base that you can annotate yourself. UMap is a great tool for example osm.wiki/UMap |
