@curiousscholar this is a bit of a “known issue” with our tagging scheme (particularly “amenity”s) - ideally you’d be able to tag something as both a place of worship and a community centre, but of course since both features use the amenity= key, that doesn’t work. There has been talk of using ; separated multiple values, e.g. amenity=place_of_worship;community_centre, but little if any software (such as renderers) interprets/supports that.

The spelling of amenity=community_centre is of course also another display of the curious britishisms that infest osm.

Probably more information than you wanted there.

Do you have the one about spam?

@Adam Martin: Have you tried visiting http://googlemapmaker.com ?

Yay my stickers have spread :)

Don’t forget to upload your traces to the “GPS Traces” section too as a record.

Hooray for turn restrictions!

Can’t say it’s not accurate though ;)

I think you’re all overestimating Google’s competence, especially in “tracking all of us”.

@K01umbus I think your Japanese internment argument is absurd.

All this paranoia over recaptcha is unwarranted in my opinion. Get a grip.

Welcome - I hope you’ll enjoy helping shape what we map and how.

Not that I’m aware of. I think some people have tried pointing the OS in the right direction or sending lists back, but I don’t think we’ve heard much back.

Of course, that’s not really the primary purpose of not:name from my point of view. It’s a good way of notating things for us.

What GPS do you have?

Some good mapping happening there. And some good dumpster diving from the sounds of it too.

It’s certainly fast, but you may be creating an awful lot of work for yourself by not using one of the existing “slippy map” libraries like Leaflet of OpenLayers.

Stupid link detection. Google Map Maker.

Google map maker (http://www.googlemapmaker.com/)’s handcuffs will kill it.

OpenStreetMap’s in no danger of dying because of it but it would certainly be nice if those contributors could be put to more productive use.

Plenty of people here.

If you’re clicking, you’re clicking, if you’re dragging, you’re dragging.

It’s not a problem for me. In fact I’ve never even really consciously noticed the overloading of the right button.

I can imagine it being annoying for someone with a dodgy mouse though.
