Thanks. The prompt for this discussion was me looking at notes and wondering which I can close.

This one
note/2562233
would suggest the way you refer to was once suggesting a route for drivers (Amazon, I guess, or MapBox generally).

I wonder if all the edits have actually dealt with that 'problem' (if problem it is: I rather think the routing software needs to be cleverer than just assume any UCR is a good route - this comes up again and again)

Hi Russ

Re the footpath re-tagged UCR, just checking it's correct to say that there is no bicycle access? Usually there's a right of way for all vehicles, even if practically it's impassable for motors. (But usually a mountainbike or 4x4 could cope.)

It seems you may have been there on the ground, if it was your GPS track that you referenced in your sources. Do you remember any signs prohibiting all but walkers?

Thanks,

Been doing FPs and field boundaries in this area from Bing aligned to HM Land Registry.

Re way/37280439:
This appears to be a few 10s of metres too far east, though otherwise a good representation of the course of the stream.

Do others agree? is there a simple fix if so?

Sorry, I'm bus routes newbie - I've found the answer to the Santander query - shortly to be updated.

Break in the relation query stands.

Hi Pink Duck
I noticed a small break in the 45 relation at the Holt bypass. You may have the local knowledge to mend it. (You're the last editor on the relation as far as I can see.)

Also my note on stop "Santander, opp" in Holt town centre: note/3230463

Oh and in case you're not aware of the (rather awkward) tagging convention, see here: osm.wiki/Church

Ceci n'est pas une church!

Hi FortQuake

Thanks for your edits, especially clearing up many of my queries around Bourne.

I notice you "made a church into a church" at St John the Baptist Stamford.

I wonder if you meant to do this? The church is disused by the CofE, though it's still consecrated and you can often go in for silent prayer. But there are no services and (afaik) no consecrated host in the tabernacle. It's managed by the Churches Conservation Trust as a sort of museum.

After I described the situation to user smb1001, he changed the tag to disused:amenity=place_of_worship. As he's catalogued almost every Anglican church in England, I'm inclined to stick with his judgement.

That said, no one mapper gets to dictate, so the discussion could be had!

Let us know your thoughts.

Just a quick note to say that "Shahjal" mosque" is almost certainly "Shah Jalal" mosque. As I recall from the excellent YouTube video the letters were falling off the sign, but it also declared itself as a Bangladeshi outfit: Shah Jalal is the man credited with bringing Islam to Bangladesh, and a huge number of Bangladeshi-run mosques take his name. (Off-topic for mappers, but there's a write-up for those interested here: https://sacredsites.com/asia/bangladesh/hazrat_shah_jalal_sylhet.html)

Hi

Long time ago this changeset. One of the QA tools is flagging the 'track=1' tag on way/104058044

It seems to expect 'tracks'. I wonder if the tag has been superseded by <railway:track_ref=*> but as I'm not a railway buff I don't know.

Any tips from you? Thanks,

@SK53 thank you. I don't use the shortcuts, rather right-click and +

But that sounds much simpler, so I'll do that in future (and eventually learn JOSM perhaps...)

Hi
Thanks for spotting. I'm wondering if I should just give up on relations: they must always be complex, but iD makes it almost impossible (for me) to assess the work while one builds them.

Fixed, I hope, here: changeset/111423153

If you have time and inclination, you could check my other relations edits of the past few months: this one I remember being a headache, for example:

Hi Pollokshields

Thanks for adding the mosques on Nithsdale Road.

Please see my note for a query about whether they may be duplicates.

note/2855677

forgot my sources: SS16 sourced from eyeballs on signs on Crouch End Hill and Crouch Hill. alignment from Bing

Thanks, that's v useful. I may change those 2 nodes you did to the waste_basket option

Thanks.

That is "map-vending machines": machines that sell maps

Oh great, thanks!

Ah ok thanks. Do you know a way to see when it got the location it now has? I can never see moves on the changeset but maybe theres a way of finding the info?
