Welcome to OSM

Thanks for the detail.

You have added a point with a name, but to be a bit more useful you need to add a tag to describe what it is. I'm guessing a shop (tagged as shop=yes) would be fine

I have had http://learnosm.org/en/ recommended to me for beginners.

Hope that helps.

Don't apologise, OSM can be tricky to understand at first.

It's a long time since I started, so I'm not sure what there is for beginners. Have a go, mistakes can be corrected. Don't be afraid of changing your own work. If it all goes really badly I will remove your stuff for you to start again, but I doubt it will come to that.

In general, everything has one main tag, ( such as natural, landuse, building, highway ...). Things can have names, but not all need them. Don't use the name to describe things (a common beginner mistake). Join up roads and paths. Don't join areas (such as a park) to a road alongside of it - they are separate. Zoom in to draw things as accurately as you can.

Have a go - we welcome new mappers and expect a few mistakes while you learn.

One problem though. You can get hooked, it is addictive.

You have added a hotel, with what looks like an English name, but you have tagged the name as the name in spanish (name:es rather than name) It means the name will not appear unless the tag is changed.

Welcome to OSM

Thanks for the extra detail.

You have drawn around the outline of a building. It is more usual to tag it as a building (building=yes). The area is already a commercial landuse, so your newly drawn building won't show up very well as it stands

You don't need to add oneway=no, that is the default. You only need to add the oneway tag if it is 'yes' for a one way street.

You have added an area and tagged it as a place of worship. That should only be the building. If the area around is a grave yard there is a tag for that. The address details etc all belong on the building.

We usually don't add footways besides roads, we usually add sidewalk tags to the road. You have also added highway=crossing to a section of footway parallel to the road. Highway crossing is used on a point or short section of path where it crosses a road, such as a pedestrian crossing.

Thanks for the detail. Your park tagging is a bit confused. You have added conflicting tags to a single area. If there is a park tag that. If there is some woods too draw another area (maybe inside the park) and tag that as woods, and so on. Natural tree is for a single tree, not a an area. An area would be natural woods.

If you need any help, please feel free to ask

You have placed a park on top of an existing recreation ground. Not everything that is green is a park. How would you like to sort this out?

I have added shop=yes tag. If there is a better shop description you can change it later. Now it has a shop tag it is easier to change it.

Adding a shop above another is a problem. I suggest staggering the two points a little, maybe to reflect the relative entrances to the two premises. If your shop shows up in almost the right place people will find it when they arrive at the site. I haven't moved your shop point.

Welcome to OSM
You have placed a point right over the top of a cafe (Cafe Nero) . Has this business replaced Cafe Nero? Is it sharing the building?

The point you have added doesn't describe what it is. You have given lots of details, but no shop tag or office tag to describe what category the business is. The description is just free text. shop=yes would be a good start.

More buildings with a description in the name tag. Please don't abuse the name tag

47479793 over 8 years ago

Hi,
You have used the name tag to describe buildings. This is not how it is used. Please only use names in the name tag. Names usually come from a name board at the site. 'Flates' is a wrong spelling of flats.

The building you have named as 'Student Home' also is an invalid polygon because the two areas share a corner.

Welcome to OSM

You have tagged something as a village (place=village) but you have called it Llanddew church. Is it a church or the place? I think the place is called Llanddew.

If it is a church, is this different from the Church of St David which is already in place? If so, you need to add a tag to describe the object as a church and remove the place tag. If it is a village, is the name right?

Welcome to OSM

You seem to have extended a footpath along some roads. We don't normally draw footpaths like that. If you want to describe a footpath beside a road we add sidewalk tags to the road rather than adding a distinct footpath.

Are you sure there's a pond there?

You seem to have added a shelter in a garden. What were you trying to do? Do you need any help?
