Hi there! Remember to add the housenumber tag for the numeric portion of the address.

Hi thanks for your great contributions! FYI there's not a big need to make multipolygon relations for stuff like parking lots unless they're truly oddly shaped. For curbs, medians, grass, and other non-parking-lot stuff you can usually just normally map them inside of the parking lot without much issue, they're still "part of the lot" if they're encircled by places to park. I only bring it up because relations can easily create confusion and difficulty, so using them sparingly is almost always a good idea.

Thanks again!

Sure, and I guess it's valid (presumably iD told you this is how to tag, so I guess it's not wrong), it just might be clearer if you reverse the way and make it oneway=yes. But I guess it's not required as long as the arrows point the right way.

Hi and thanks for your contributions! I'm guessing you probably didn't intend to tag one-way=-1 on one of these hiking paths node #1127631556 ?

Hi there! We appreciate you wanting to add your business to OSM, however you can't put your business' location as a PO box inside the UPS store: not only would that make every place with PO boxes a nightmare on the map, but also people would show up to the UPS store thinking they can talk to you.

If you've got a home-based or virtual business where customers aren't able to physically visit you then I'm afraid we can't accept your submission: we're Open Street Map, not Open Business Database, and our primary mission is to curate highly accurate information about where places are and how to physically get to them.

Please let me know your thoughts by commenting here; if there's no satisfactory reply within a few days your submission will be removed.

Oh wow that's crazy! I guess that's the correct tag for that situation then.

Thanks for your contributions and welcome to Willamette Valley OpenStreetMap! Your changes look fine, with the one exception that I bet Dumbeck Ave has 2 lanes, not 1. The case for lanes=1 is single-lane one-way alleys, turning lanes, onramps, etc, but a normal two-way road with one lane in each direction is lanes=2.

Cheers!

Heya! It looks like this turning spot doesn't connect at the end. You might connect it up so that a routing program knows you can turn around here. There's also a turning_circle or turning_loop tag as well that can just be used on an ending node.

Hey there! I did some work to the SkyTrain and concur with your conclusion that it's a monorail, however the wiki is very vague on this topic (and monorail support is quite crap across most data consumers) so I don't think it's good to get into an edit war at this time. But maybe we can create more Wiki clarity and advocate for more data consumer support, since getting around airports and dense tourist areas is always confusing!

Discussion here: osm.org/changeset/123988282

Hi Dr. Kludge! I'm updating a few US airport transit systems and added the 24th St and Rental Car stations to the SkyTrain, however in this commit I see we're going back and forth about the definition of tram vs monorail.

As we so often find in OSM, the tag name that some Europeans came up with has very different meanings and implications from the word's common meaning in American English.

When OSM says monorail, they mean a small system that's typically elevated, whether or not the carriages actually hang onto a single rail or not, like the Miami Metromover (which is a people mover nearly identical to the SkyTrain).

When OSM says tram, they mean a really small street-running light rail, what we would call a streetcar or trolley. The fact that we happen to call airport peoplemovers and aerial gondolas "trams" thus making for a bunch of confusion doesn't change how the OSM database and data consumers will treat the public transit system we document: for example, a tram (streetcar) is more likely to be a citywide system that interfaces with streets and has municipal fare collection and timetables, whereas a monorail (people mover) is more likely to be a free-of-charge way of accessing a district or infrastructure especially over dense or varied terrain, without published timetables or branching routes.

Just another one of those Britishisms we have to shoehorn into our system, like primary/tertiary/trunk roads and 0-based building levels, I guess.

I'm not going to undo your changes since I know how much of a pain it is to get OSM public transit working at all (I just edited Orlando's people movers a few dozen times and OsmAnd is still buggy) but please just be aware that the correct tagging for the Skytrain will almost certainly end up being monorail and not tram. This will allow for future improvements such as apps not making transit assumptions that are invalid for people movers. (I'd love for "walking directions" to just automatically include hopping on an airport peoplemover, for example, rather than having to get routed out to a main road and then switch over to "public transit" mode to "board a train" that arrives every 90 seconds on nonsensically-alternating platforms, etc etc.)

Here's the best reference I was able to find breaking out the differences: osm.wiki/Railways#Types_of_railway_line

If you want to see what's globally tagged as what, here's some handy overpass queries:

Cheers and thanks for all your work making OSM and Phoenix better!

Welcome, and thank you for contributing to OSM!

Thanks for your contributions! If you'd like to make this proper, you could also tag this building with shop=florist (or using the Florist preset in iD) so that it's considered a place to buy flowers not just a named building.

Hi Isaac and thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap! Please remember to make all changes in a changeset in a small area before editing another area. That way a whole continent of people aren't notified of your change, and also tools like OsmCha and Achavi are able to review your changes without excessive lag.

Hi thanks for your contributions! Some of the house shapes seem a little lopsided, please consider using the Square Corners function in your editor to help draw regularly shaped buildings. You might also like to use RapiD Editor (MapWithAI) which uses AI to quickly detect and map buildings.

Thanks again!

The buildings in the middle of the SSHS track/field no longer seem to be there, were they temporary?

Hi there, you added the driveway osm.org/way/723961040 however it's drawn as a left-hand drive which is opposite of how it usually is in America. Can you check and confirm and update osm.org/note/3024407 with your findings? Thanks! #amap

Gotcha, I've been so used to adding kerb information to crosswalk ways, I'm wondering how many elements/tags will end up being duplicated at each intersection. I'll play with this style but as it is it's so easy to tag the 4 crossing nodes, 4 crosswalk ways, and now 8 kerb nodes, plus all the short sidewalk segments, all with mildly duplicated info... I'll have to find a balance
