Great to have you back! If you are on facebook, I have setup a private trail info group where we discuss reports, mapping questions with the community. Feel free to join! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2136375696805680

Hi NateeT,
I’ve downgraded some paths I added based solely on public GPS traces, without proper surveys, after receiving complaints. While many lead to real trails, some are just shortcuts, and others may pass through sensitive areas. I’ll eventually delete these maybe:highway=path entries—but no worries, any potential trails remain visible in the public OSM GPS traces layer. If you have on-the-ground knowledge of any segments, feel free to map them yourself and include tags like width and sac_scale to better describe them. Thanks for your understanding and contributions!

Sounds good!

Maybe Karnkanok Ville is better, as per the official usage from the company and google listings: https://www.facebook.com/KarnkanokProperty/?locale=th_TH

For the other community, I must have mixde up names, the only sign I found on KartaView and and StreetView for the lower community is: https://www.google.com/maps/@18.7222069,99.0275959,3a,25.7y,91.26h,90.2t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sm3jcLyFH2duag5onQ5WDlA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-0.20000000000000284%26panoid%3Dm3jcLyFH2duag5onQ5WDlA%26yaw%3D91.26!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Thanks a lot for your contributions! Just a friendly tip: try to keep your changes smaller, like focusing on one country at a time.

Hi! This is a experimental tag I started using for trails with high activity on the Strava Heatmap — usually popular segments. Combined with imagery or GPS traces, it can help confirm if a path actually exists.

Hi Johannes, welcome back — and thanks again for your previous contributions! Just a quick note regarding trail names: unofficial or locally-used names shouldn’t be added to the name tag in OSM. Instead, I’ve been moving them to loc_name or occasionally description, where appropriate. Using name for these is considered tagging for the renderer. I’ve included a couple of helpful links below for reference. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks! I wasn't aware of such documented lifecycle highway key, I will use it for now with fixme=survey.

Hi Michael,

No worries at all — we’ve all made that mistake at some point. I’ve reverted your initial change.

When upgrading tags on a trail you've surveyed, it’s best to drag and drop the GPX traces directly on the map and split the path or road segments at the points where you turned back or changed direction. That way, you can safely apply tags only to the sections you've actually surveyed.

Also, iD has a feature to highlight changes, which helps visualize the edits you're making.

Best,
Julien

Hi Michael,

Did you survey the entire trail here? The trace looks like it might come from an enduro race, so I’m a bit skeptical that it was fully walked. If you only surveyed a portion of it, the segment should be split and the tags updated accordingly.

Let me know—I'll adjust things as needed. And if you have any questions about the hiking guide, feel free to ask.

Best,
Julien

Hi Michael, hope you're doing well.

Was this change based on a personal survey?

Just a heads-up: access tags like `bicycle=no` or `horse=no` should only be used if there are actual signs prohibiting access—not to describe how practical or suitable the path is. As far as I know, there are no legal restrictions here, so I’ll need to remove those access tags.

If you’ve personally surveyed the route on foot, horse or by mountain bike, it’s recommended to indicate suitability using `sac_scale`, `mtb:scale` or `horse_scale` instead.

ฉันสังเกตว่าการแก้ไขล่าสุดของคุณได้ลบถนนสำคัญหลายจุด รวมถึงสะพานบนทางหลวงหลัก ดังนั้นฉันจึงย้อนการแก้ไขกลับเพื่อป้องกันปัญหา หากเป็นข้อผิดพลาด ฉันยินดีช่วยแนะนำวิธีแก้ไขที่ถูกต้อง แจ้งให้ฉันทราบหากคุณมีคำถามใด ๆ!

I noticed your recent edit removed key road segments, including a major highway bridge, so I’ve reverted it to prevent issues. If this was unintentional, I’d be happy to help guide you on editing correctly. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Ropino, thanks for your contributions! Based on your profile, I assume this change wasn't based on a ground survey? Just a heads-up—`highway=road` can be used for segments that haven't been confirmed with local knowledge (e.g., mapped from imagery alone). This tag can represent anything from a narrow footpath to a motorway and is generally ignored by routers, so connectivity shouldn't be a concern.

สวัสดี Peetang618,
ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการมีส่วนร่วมของคุณ! อยากจะแบ่งปันเคล็ดลับเล็กๆ น้อยๆ นะครับ สำหรับถนนที่อยู่อาศัยแคบ ๆ ตามคำแนะนำใน Wiki ล่าสุดของประเทศไทย ให้ใช้ highway=residential พร้อมกับ lanes=1 วิธีนี้ช่วยให้ข้อมูลมีความสอดคล้องและทำให้ทุกคนเข้าใจลักษณะของถนนได้ง่ายขึ้น ผมได้ปรับปรุง changesets ของคุณให้ตรงตามข้อแนะนำนี้แล้ว
ถ้าคุณมีคำถามหรือข้อเสนอแนะเพิ่มเติมเกี่ยวกับเรื่องนี้ โปรดแจ้งให้ผมทราบได้เลยนะครับ!
ด้วยความปรารถนาดี,
Julien

Hi Peetang618,
Thanks so much for your contributions! I just wanted to share a quick tip: for narrow residential roads, the latest Thailand wiki recommends using highway=residential with lanes=1. This helps ensure consistency and makes it easier for everyone to understand the road’s characteristics. I've updated your changesets accordingly.
If you have any questions or thoughts about this, feel free to let me know!
Best,
Julien

Hi EZ_TT, thanks for your contributions! I reverted the roundabout classification change in two of your changesets. Roundabouts should generally match the highest road type they connect. Let me know if there was a reason for the change. Best, Julien

@Aleksandar Matejevic: user joined OSM and made conflicting major highway classification changes in Thailand. Local mappers have already reverted all edits. You should consider doing the same. Best, Julien
