The #questionable-edits OSM Iceberg

Cool collection.

Nit pick.

“not aligned to aerial imagery “: It should say “nor GPS”. There are areas where the good imagery is misaligned but multiple GPS tracks show the way is offset.

More pet peeves I encountered when most mapping during hiking:

  • using access tags like ‘foot/bicycle=yes’ for paths and tracks to indicate if it can technically use them, not for the legal restrictions.
  • Tagging paths/tracks in the middle if the forest as ‘lit=no’. Technically not wrong, but unnecessary. StreetComplete…
  • fixme’s to tell other mappers to get to work. Fell for this early too. No, you don’t need to add ‘fixme=continue’ to any new path/track.
