Hi, could you check if you haven't accidentally dragged a node, please.

Thanks, fixed in 96454743.

Hi sladen,

I like what you've done with publicly accessible areas. If you were to expand this level of mapping to a larger portion of Cambridge I would be happy to join you with it.

As for private gardens, for privacy reasons please limit the level of detail to larger features observable from the outside or air: buildings, fences, tennis courts, pools etc. The latter tagged as access=private.

My main gripe was of course the private BBQ mapped as a public memorial site. That's just plain vandalism.

I've added tunnel=building_passage.

Reverted as descriptive name ;-)

Thank you and sorry again. I noticed some objects you have originally mapped (mainly trees) got badly misaligned by me realigning roads and buildings to improving imagery. I've corrected some of them but many finer features are not visible on Bing.

Hi Craig,
Apologies for reverting your changeset. Please align imagery before editing (in iD: press 'b', then click and drag the "Imagery Offset" widget until it is aligned to objects). I used "OS OpenData StreetView" layer as a reference, it is supposed to be the most accurate and stable across versions.
Best regards,

I found it amusing how your changesets descriptions sound very specific, yet manage to say so little. Indeed, you haven't touched relations and you haven't deleted any nodes or ways, so they are, in fact, entirely correct. :-)

Apologies if I caused a conflict with my changes, I haven't noticed you are still editing. Let me know if you need terracing or other improvements for adding addresses - happy to help.

Do you have any references? Not that I disagree but for now it may be better to be less specific. That is: place=suburb and for addressing addr:suburb=Alconbury Weald or addr:locality=Alconbury Weald.

Hi,

Do you know if Alconbury Weald is a village, town or suburb? The official website calls it a "community", which is not particularly helpful.

This is needed for an admin place node and for addressing tags.

Addr:city should be Huntingdon, but there is no consensus in OSM as for what tags should be used for "dependent locality" and "double dependent locality". I usually pick one of addr:village, addr:locality, addr:town or addr:suburb.

Hi,

Thank you for the contribution.

Can you clarify what osm.org/way/804154602 is? It is currently tagged as a building (building=yes and office=yes). Perhaps you meant a commercial area (landuse=commercial)?

Thank you for your comment. Residential areas are now tagged correctly. Previously they included vast swatches of land that were not residential in any way. Please let me know if you have noticed any specific mistakes, I'll happily correct them.
For tagging the village boundaries instead of landuse=* please use place=village and boundary=administrative tags.

Thanks, you are most likely right. I'll survey the area next time I have a chance to go out.

Do you mean you know it is not a multi-storey car park? Imagery you are referring to shows it as a building, although the picture is not very clear.

Thanks. My mistake.

For primary and secondary roads there is a fairly well established convention (A and B road, respectively). For now, I would downgrade these roads to tertiary (they connect parts of the village/town already) and upgrade them in the future once/if they get an official designation as A or B roads.

Hi Jon, highway=secondary is generally for designated B roads. Larger roads used for connecting villages/parts of towns are highway=tertiary and shouldn't, in general, be used for access roads. osm.wiki/Key:highway

I think most of these roads should be highway=tertiary, assuming they are meant to ultimately connect other parts of Northstowe.

Hi, thank you for fixing what looks like my mistake.

Thank you freebeer and ravsjith. I didn't realise it was an Amazon changeset. I have no problem with using proprietary imagery with permission of the copyright holder.

I am a bit surprised DigitalGlobe is OK with using their imagery for improving OSM but this imagery is not available for broader OSM community. Is it just a matter of asking them for permission and obtaining a personal API key?
