the DWG rules placed on my edits have already ruined the map

I don’t know about “we”, but “you” aren’t going to be doing anything until you have changed your attitude towards the rest of the OSM community.

Please remember the human behind each mapper. Sure, their position is at odds most of the time, but they are a motivated person contributing to the project.

I really don’t like the position you take by talking like that. You (SomeoneElse) sure give a lot to the project, but that doesn’t give you absolute moral superiority to the rest of the peasants here. You have a lot of experience, sure, and will be right most of the time, but you don’t speak for everyone here. No one can. Someone(Else :p) with “power” must understand that surely ?

Generalize OSM tagging model awareness and usage

Good writeup, merci !

I fully endorse Data Items, I’ve tried pushing their usage a bit, but was met with pushback by some (mainly one) contributors.

Here’s to hoping that they take off like they should !

Create perfect bike route using BRouter and Strava heatmaps

Forgot about bicycle=dismount, which may be more adapted here. Thanks !

Create perfect bike route using BRouter and Strava heatmaps

IMHO, this is problem with BRouter If I look at way osm.org/way/53015601, it is clearly marked as “bicycle=no”. Not sure why BRouter is routing through here.

Because bicycle=no means that you can’t ride the bicycle there, not that you can’t have a pushed or carried bicycle there.

In this case, the profile used in Brouter is for mountain bikes, so carrying the bike is not unheard of. This profile also allows specifying whether bicycle=no path are taken with the “StrictNOBicycleaccess” variable.

Most routers route through stairs for example with a high penalty to avoid a longer detours, as a lot of users can carry the bike. As not all can, it should be customizable.

Thanks for sharing !

UX/UI Concept: Your Business on the Map

Pretty much agree with everyone above. The intention is good, the workflow is quick and to the point, but I sadly think it will provide the expected effect.

Thank you for this write-up and fixes !

Created location on osm, but it's showing up in Instagram

I assume you mean it is not showing up in Instagram’s map ?

That’s because data (through the Mapbox map platform) are refreshed only after some time. Be patient and it’ll come :)

Boiserie Le Creff

Bonjour, les notes OpenStreetMap sont plus adaptées si vous souhaitez référencer votre commerce :

Ou encore mieux, n’hésitez pas à créer votre compte et contribuer, c’est assez rapide :)

To name or not to name ...

it can be argued that they shouldn’t have individual names

On the other hand I don’t think larger parts of the community are actually uncomfortable with adding a name tag to a McDonald’s and I would speculate that this is what in common usage would be considered its name

You’re right, but it looks like your opinion (and therefore suggestion) seem clear to me with this wording.

Not a huge deal, it’s just that this issue has and still cost me (and surely others) a lot of contributor time to remove/fix names that are only brands.

Anyway thank you for the data !
