One edit and you rename a prominent road after a realtor? Nice. Obvious spam. Fixed.

Hi orthocircular. Thanks for the comment! I generally use street centerlines from county gvmt and parcels from County Property Appraiser for street names when centerlines are not available. Prefer Bing, but Maxar as backup. Also use address points from the county governments - same stuff that goes into OpenAddresses. Lake County FL https://geohub-lcgis.opendata.arcgis.com/

I also use Sentinel satellite imagery to see how far along road building is when aerials are not as up to date. Low res (10-meter), but can easily pick new roads and even see houses - imagery can be less than a month old, depending time of year / cloudiness. Easy to access with a link like this: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?zoom=16&lat=28.54174&lng=-81.68274&themeId=DEFAULT-THEME&visualizationUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fservices.sentinel-hub.com%2Fogc%2Fwms%2Fbd86bcc0-f318-402b-a145-015f85b9427e&datasetId=S2L2A&fromTime=2023-02-07T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&toTime=2023-02-07T23%3A59%3A59.999Z&layerId=2_FALSE_COLOR&demSource3D=%22MAPZEN%22

Hello, correcting a name does not include abbreviating it. OSM requires fully spelled out road names, e.g. North Rye Road vs N Rye Rd

Hi djerm. The fairways you added in this area were incredibly poor digitizing / borderline fantasy mapping - crossing way into residential areas, etc. I saw another spot where you did the same thing. What's going on here?

Cool - I updated the names. I use Collier PA and Collier GIS to check and add names in Collier County. For others listening - Property Appraisers and GIS departments across FL should be the goto source for street names vs TIGER, even if TIGER is "updated" - a lot of legacy crap remains in TIGER.

Did VisiGround remove real highways or fake highways? Another weird behavior of the fantasy mapping accounts in this area is they will add fake features, and then delete it! And then add some real features and fake features. Its almost like they are trying to throw up some kind of smokescreen to throw people off reviewing their accounts. Just odd behavior, but bottom line is you can't trust any of their edits, although they do appear to add legit stuff here and there - that is what is weird about it - like they are playing some kind of game with OSM.

What's up CoastalGenius! This is another one of your smoking gun edits. Another account that is probably yours Narnian Peter made some interesting edits on this road - 1st you changed the road name to 6th Ave N, then in a separate edit, you changed it back to Port Ave. Then another account that is probably yours named VisiGround changed it back to 6th Ave N. Where's the documentation to support this road is named 6th Ave N? This is one example of the edits done by these fantasy mapper accounts in this area - changing road names to fake names - but also introducing false flag edits. Nice!

Pretty sure VisiGround is not new to OSM - just another account that participates in fantasy mapping in this area, aka CoastalGenius and others. This time around they appear to add legit features and sprinkle in fantasy edits. They've been called out multiple times before, blocked by DWG, etc. IMHO whenever you do any fantasy edits, you just can't be trusted anymore and should be banned. Been going on for a few years now.
