Thanks for mapping, it looks like you mapped some roads that already exist, so now they are duplicated. Make sure to zoom in close before mapping. For example see here osm.org/way/668287834

Looks great, thanks for mapping!

Looks good, thanks for mapping! Don't worry about mapping farms for this project though

Also, compare these shapes to the village just to the southeast - those are what buildings tend to look like in this part of the world

Hi, you're mapping a bunch of dunes and rocks as buildings. In general buildings will be square or circular and will have a shadow.

Thanks for mapping, however a lot of these roads don't seem to exist. Try using Digital Globe Premium, which is also what the HOT task specified suggests. Also, these are probably residential, unclassified or even track roads, they are pretty small and unpaved. See this for more information on how to tag roads. osm.wiki/Key:highway

Thanks for mapping! Don't forget to square the corners of your buildings with the s key on your keyboard

Thank you, that sounds good. Will do!

Hi, it looks like you are changing a lot of highway classifications in ways that don't fit the Highway Tag Africa guidelines. Can you explain why?

Hi, it looks like you are changing a lot of highway classifications in ways that don't fit the Highway Tag Africa guidelines. Can you explain why? For example, many of the roads in this changeset such as osm.org/way/114132916#map=16/9.0321/7.4668 . It's resulting in inconsistent roads and many seem to be wrong.

Hi Sergey, thanks for the response, and that's great you are visiting these places. I think however Highway Tag Africa is usually referring to major towns and things, not the major road in an area. Here are a few examples. osm.org/way/666544811 is tertiary, but tertiary is "Major transportation routes connecting towns and larger villages." In this case it only goes to a parking lot so maybe should be unclassified or even service. osm.org/way/28157312 goes to a picnic site and osm.org/way/26338796 goes to a watering hole, and both are tagged secondary, which is supposed to be "Major transportation routes connecting cities and large towns." I think again unclassified or service is more appropriate. And osm.org/way/31256703 is a residential road that is tagged as secondary but should be residential, which is "In urban areas or rural villages, roads which serve as an access to housing, without function of connecting settlements. Often lined with housing." Let me know what you think.

Hi fred80gps, I see you created the way called No Man's Land, is that the official name of the border crossing? Or more of an informal name or description? Thanks! osm.org/way/572862706

Buenas dias, parece que estás eliminando una gran cantidad de datos en este cambio y otros, ¿puedes explicar por qué? Gracias.

Ah great, thanks. Is that Sentinel imagery? Are there tiles for it?
