geonames for kosovo is gns | Do you know how accurate the geonames data is for Kosovo? It's not always terribly good, so it's worth checking. |
|
Holmebrook and Hipper Valley Cycleways | I didn't think it made any difference to opencyclemap whether it's a tag or a relationship. I tend to go for tags when it's just a local route and a relationship when it's a sustrans route. |
|
AltitudeWRTSeaLevel vs. reality | GPS is generally pretty terrible at altitudes, it just gives a very rough idea. Also, it'll be altitude above mean sea level not actual sea level where you are. |
|
man_made=wastewater_plant | OK, landuse=industrial has been added, let's give it some time to render and then see what difference that makes. |

Camping in Sweden | Cool, I really wish we could find a suitable source of campsites for the UK. Combined with the opencyclemap that would be fantastic! Oh and I meant csv2osm, not svn2osm. |
|
Route 66 | I wish you could differentiate ncn routes from rcn routes just by the number. I've been mapping ncn_66 recently, and whilst riding it keep bursting into song (It goes up through Bierly, down to West Bowling, Bradford City looks oh so pretty...) |
|
Camping in Sweden | It is possible to import from a csv file, which in turn can be exported from excel. However, for this to be ok, the original data would need to be correctly licensed and your calculations of latitude/longitude would have had to be done using public knowledge (ie. not geolocated using Google or similar) If those requirements have been met (and I know I get annoyed at finding seemingly open data then failing to get it licensed correctly) then there is a script in svn called svn2osm. It's very old and needs updating to API 0.6 though. |

Equipment Fail | The trouble with a spare inner tube is I'd need two - one for each wheel since they are different sizes. And yes, I know, standardising my wheel sizes would also be sensible. In future however, I do intend on carrying puncture repair kit *and* spare inner tube since a puncture repair kit doesn't take up much space. |

NCN_65, tags, missing railway | Chris - If it really was unsuitable for motors then yes, a track is the solution. However, it was better quality than at least one other road I rode along. Ed - motor_vehicle=unsuitable sounds like it's the solution, I was also thinking about the designation key since it's not actually unsuitable it's just designated as such. |
