how to tag a speedway?

you could also add lit=yes/no surface=dirt ect,

going to live in Seville

watched the tour of spain from seville looks great

Drive-Through Post Box

that is strange, never see one like that before.

Pathways (shortcuts) through buildings.

and tag bike, horse, and lit, maybe heated ?

Fisrt timer, LOTS OF MISTAKE T.T

Hello and welcome, yeah my gps does that too sometimes 100+ points at the one place if I spot for a break/rest walking,
I use a free program called prune to remove them and then upload a cleaner gps file.
You should delete the one online and then edit you one on your pc then re upload the clean data from you pc.

On plotting points

I agree its more fun on foot.

On plotting points

Welcome,, is that Hamilton Lanarkshire, if so I am just up the road from you, while you mark off the bus stops grab POI too like banks ect.

Post Offices open on Sunday

to do that Waitrose problem .The building outline would be tagged Building=yes building=use shop, and you could add the building height ect tags, inside the building outline put Waitrose tag and also the Postoffice tag and the post box tag, this also helps where a building has 2 or more addresses but which is only one building on the ground.

Tidalflats: Renderer vs Tagging...

I cant agree on it being just a tag for renderer, as half the day its not sand or mud but "wetland" which is what people will see standing looking out onto water.

Tidalflats: Renderer vs Tagging...

oh and you guys are doing a grand job there I just had a look.

Tidalflats: Renderer vs Tagging...

mm what if you tag natural=mud or sand then over it another tag of natural=wetland wetland=tidalflat + tidal=yes". that would then show mud with the marsh ontop of it, os do this so can see why we cant. :)

Bicycle=yes; foot=yes

yeah sounds like over tagging. I have yet to see Motorway and foot=no , but its taken as a rule, and route site use this rule.

With friends like these...

I think its a good thing, gets osm into more people view, and it does says its OSM map not bings, so most people will know that bing is only using that data from an open source project.

Hotel or Restaurant - which order?

problem here is a there should be a tag for just hotel and another hotel with restaurant bit like the tag we have for parking and parking with a fee

Street tag

you can add
motorcar=no
motorcycle=no
bicycle=? yes/no
lit=yes/no
horse=yes/no I know of a road lets horses but not cars

What to do when "your" road conflicts with someone else's view of it.

if you can do a few traces over a few weeks might help.

Changed Street Name

good stuff

Johannesburg

good stuff, Add everything you see LOL, you could put a note in hotel=2 or 1 star.
Loveday Street used to join up with the other part when railway was built it split the road into two, I think thats right.

New OpenStreetMap-FOUNDATION logo proposal

look good. on the colors one part could be blue instead of green, for sea ect.

twitching

yeah I have also seen powerlines marked on a os maps on one side of the road yet, when I drove past the lines they where about 90m on the other side of the road.
