Hi RedHawk13. Thank you for adding these to OpenStreetMap. I used to live in Coventry but moved out a few years ago and was aware that lots was changing in the city centre. So pleased to see that you are helping to keep the map up to date :-)

P.S. Do you know if the new Western Link Road between Central Six and the Inner Ring Road has now opened?

I've made some further improvements to the map of Westwood Student Mews. Are you able to check it please and make further adjustments if needed.

Thanks for the edits to OpenStreetMap :-)

Hi Matt. I think you are using the "Name" field for a description rather than a name. It is ok for things to not have a name - in fact most things don't.

Examples where you have a name where one probably doesn't exist:
- sports pitches
- The Bumpy Way (path)
-names on footpaths approaching the school.

Unless these names are visible on a board/sign, they shouldn't be included.

Thanks. I've made some additional changes now that the Bing aerial imagery is updated.

+1 to Richard's comments. Particularly that OSM is iterative and the suggestion to add "source:tracktype=imagery" rather than revert.

No worries. I like what the iD developers are doing but from time to time they get things wrong too. Openstreetmap can be complex even for those working with it every day!

In this case the problem with iD was already spotted (27 days ago) and we're just waiting on the next version of iD to be released to fix it.

In the mean time, keep an eye on what tags iD actually adds when using the fix/upgrade option.

Best regards
Rob

Hi Chris. I had to revert part of this edit as it made the whole of the bus station land area a building. Be careful using those iD automatic fixes as they can result in unexpected changes.

P.S. I walk past on a daily basis. Let me know if you want photos etc.

A couple of thoughts:

First I'm in two minds about whether the one way should be on these roads. It is a temporary restriction lasting only a few more weeks. The risk is this version of the map is loaded into offline tools and not updated for several months (leaving some users with wrong data longer term).

Second: Joyce Pool exit on to Saltisford - I think this is still a left turn down to the roundabout. Worth checking.

Thanks for these edits and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Broadly speaking that way looks ok. A couple small bits on the east that you might change, and you would probably draw it differently of the roads were in place first, but as a first pass it seems ok to me. I think we just need to be clear to any future "on the ground mappers" that they can change it as much as they need following a survey.

Thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap. The map of Kenilworth looks a lot better as a result of your work :-)

Thanks for working with the talk-gb group with this and for developing a brand new community validation tool. :-)

I have made this back in to a loop road again as per the wiki guidelines ("preferably a small loop of road"):

If there is a non-traversable island, and the place is meant for turning, then consider using the new (but unproven) highway=turning_loop, or preferably draw a small loop of road.

Thanks for helping to keep OpenStreetMap up to date. I hope you are finding the map useful.
