Cartography Class Assignment

Posted by corvy12 on 15 March 2014 in English.

I do not have previous experience using OpenStreetMap. I added all of the water refill stations to the campus map, part of SF State housing, some restaurants and the designated smoking areas. I deleted the Patelco ATM because it no longer exists. I didn’t have any difficulties using OpenStreetMap it is fairly simple to use. The digitizing is easy to do OpenStreetMap, I have done it in ArcGIS before.

Hello,

You might want to change this and this buildings to building=apartements or building=dormitory as they seem more adapted, like said on the wiki.

Another thing, as I said to another student, name should be distinctive, you should prefer tagging smoking areas as :

  • smoking = dedicated
  • shelter = yes (usually smoking areas are protected against wind and rain)
  • bench = yes or no
