Is Boulder Falls better described as a cliff, or as a waterfall?

Your aim seems to have been a bit off here. ARCpoint Labs is one building further south than where you placed it.

Thanks for your interest in improving the map.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid this edit needs to be reverted. The STA terms of service (https://www.spokanetransit.com/about-sta/developers-terms-of-use) don't permit their GTFS data to be used in OpenStreetMap (among other problems, they can revoke permission to use the data at any time). Even if they didn't, there are a number of problems with this import, such as duplicate stops (particularly in Cheney and downtown Spokane) and less-than-ideal tagging.

In the future, when importing data from outside sources please follow the guidelines at osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines -- yes, it's a slow, complicated process, but it's intended to prevent problems before they happen.

Please don't abbreviate names, particularly if they're already non-abbreviated. If a computer needs to save space, it's easy to construct an abbreviation, but going the other way is far harder. For example, should "st" be expanded to "state", "street", or "saint"?

I don't know if you've noticed, but you can change which background imagery you're using by clicking on the "Background Settings" tab in the editor (it looks a little like three stacked sheets of paper) and selecting which imagery you want to use. In the Spokane area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is sharper and better-aligned than the default "Bing" imagery.

Thanks for your addition -- it's always useful to have locally-known features added to the map.

You made a couple of mistakes here, though: first, elevations in OSM are measured in meters, not feet -- a 4826-meter-tall mountain would be the tallest in the lower 48. And second, the second digit of the number on the topo map was a "3", not an "8". I've fixed both of these problems.

Okay, I think I figured out a workable method. 26 driveways and three residential roads restored.

73519091

I'm trying to figure out how best to revert this, since several of the driveways you deleted (eg. way/6213884) were correctly aligned and tagged, while others (eg. way/6212680) were correctly aligned but incorrectly tagged.

73519091

Quite a few of the roads you deleted here were correctly-mapped driveways.

If something doesn't have a name, you don't need to give it one. Lanes in parking lots almost never have names, and someone looking for a parking space is going to be quite confused if their GPS tells them to "turn left on parking lot, and then turn right on parking lot".

Where are you getting this planned road from? It's inside the airport security fence (which argues against it being built), passes through the runway 6 overrun area (which argues more strongly that it won't be built), and traffic on it would interfere with the runway 6 ILS (which pretty much guarantees it won't be built).

73452351

I've reverted this changeset. The road construction you've mapped is changing too rapidly to be worth mapping -- for example, the closure of 1st Avenue was for today only.

73444114

I've reverted this changeset. Most if not all of it is based on outdated information; the map prior to this changeset reflected the street signs and road geometry that was actually preset when I drove through there two years ago.

73389238

It's a map and navigation app with a very-poorly-designed POI editor. See osm.wiki/MAPS.ME

73347081

Mapping sidewalks separately is the more detailed option -- it lets you map things like curb/ramp types, "do not cross" signs, and other things that don't fit onto a road's sidewalk tags.

73361611

Are you sure the trail you added around the Bulkley River has a smoothness of "impassible"? It doesn't look like it from the aerial imagery.

73347081

You appear to have deleted a fair bit of sidewalk, crosswalk, and curb mapping along Keene Road. Was this intentional?

73055437

Are you sure about the non-existence of the farmland you removed here? Aerial imagery from this spring still shows it.

72946513

Cylindrical buildings on a hillside surrounded by a fence? Good bet they're water tanks, not silos.

The first sentence of the wiki page on highway=track (highway=track) and about a million miles of usage. osm.wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#National_Forest_Road_System and osm.wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#Other_Roads also suggest it.
