Hiya, you’ve added exactly the same elevation in two places on the Whinlatter Pass road (the other one in changeset/187631204).

What’s your source? Please always mention your sources in the changeset details, otherwise nobody can verify your changes :) Are both of these points really exactly the same elevation? Ta

Heya, thanks for adding detail here. When editing in the UK, please make sure to align the aerial imagery to OSMUK Cadastral Parcels before starting, as the aerial imagery is not guaranteed to be aligned to ground truth, and its alignment varies across the country (or even across settlements).

The alignment here is about -2.02, -1.41m at the moment. I’ve realigned your edit in changeset/187575203

Also the steeplechase track (way/1550115903) looks a little odd to me. Shouldn’t it include the whole 400m running track *and* the steeplechase bend, because that all gets used in a steeplechase race? i.e. it would be a superset of the main running track.

I’m not super familiar with the tagging conventions for athletics tracks, though, so happy to learn more if you know or can point me in the right direction :)

That’s great, thanks for taking the time to update the trail_visibility :)

Hiya, I’ve had to undo your edit (as changeset/187527705) because regardless of whether it’s visible on the ground this is the line of a public footpath (present on the local authority’s Definitive Map) and a legal right of way, so we map it in OSM.

If you’ve surveyed it and found it’s not present on the ground then please update it with tags like trail_visibility= and sac_scale= to record how easy it is to follow. Thanks

trail_visibility=*
sac_scale=*

I’ve changed it to “In staff office in leisure centre”, which should allow anyone looking on the map for a defibrillator to go to the right place to get it from the staff, thanks.

Thanks, I’ve updated the location description to say that

Thanks for updating it. In order that people can find it more easily, it would be useful if the description was more specific. Is it behind the reception desk at the swimming pool, or something like that? Ta :)

Hiya, you’ve described this AED as inside the swimming pool, but tagged it as indoor=no. Which is it?

Hiya, thanks for adding various AEDs recently.

The defibrillator:location key is meant for describing the physical location of the defib. For example “On the wall outside, to the left of the main entrance”, in a way which is useful to someone looking for it in an emergency.

This particular AED is tagged as indoor=no, but you’ve put the node inside the leisure centre building. Where’s it supposed to be?

If you could be a bit more precise in locating and describing the defibrillator nodes you’re adding, that could be quite useful to someone in an emergency.

Thanks for contributing to OSM :) Any questions, just ask

landuse=railway railway=tram seems like a good way to tag a tram corridor to me. The railway=tram tag refines the railway value for landuse.

Those systems should only treat something as a track if it’s not also tagged as a landuse. That should be unambiguous.

Why not?

Thanks, I’ll have a read. Hopefully it’s funded more than aspirational!

Thanks for the clarification, I agree this edit makes sense then. It would be handy to include information like that in your changeset descriptions in future :)

Do you happen to know what the long-term plan with NCNs is? At the moment it seems they are just shrinking, with some expectation that cyclists can teleport between disconnected segments.

This edit also combined two road segments with different tagging, meaning the parking tagging on Heron Syke was wrong.

Please pay more attention to your editing, this is not OK.

Please stop realigning roads, TomTom’s activity on this poorly specified quest is supposed to have been paused: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/united-kingdom-very-close-junctions/145929/9

I’ve reverted this as changeset/186913160

Yeah, I realise how this happened. StreetComplete is pretty good as an app, but sometimes it can miss subtleties like this! There are also commonly problems when people use it to map cycle lanes — I don’t think StreetComplete has enough subtlety to reflect all the different kinds of cobbled-together cycle infrastructure you find in Lancaster. But that’s not relevant here.

You are right, I was not precise when I said ’not legal’. I should have instead said ’discouraged, against the highway code, and can be characterised as an offence under rule 242 if in a particularly unsafe location’

In any case, the mapping in OSM should reflect the physical infrastructure and signage

Thanks for fixing it :)

Heya, thanks for all the updates you’ve done around Marsh recently, it’s great to see another active local mapper :)

I don’t think the half_on_kerb parking is correct here. While people may de-facto mount the kerb when parking, it’s almost always not legal in the UK and shouldn’t be mapped as such. aiui half_on_kerb is more typical in Europe, and is explicitly signed as such (see the right-most photo on osm.wiki/Street_parking#Separately_mapped_parking_areas_and_spaces).

These streets should probably be parking=lane.

Great, thanks for your engagement and understanding :)

I would tentatively support a change to have the relation contain just the summits and start/finish point.

Overall, though, I’m not sure that this kind of fell running challenge is in scope to be mapped in OSM at all. Once you dig into it, you’ll find there are maybe 100 different challenges like this, and people keep coming up with new ones (and forgetting old ones). They are broadly only relevant within the fell running community. IMO they belong in an overlay map, not the main OSM database.

I have reverted this as changeset/186669485, as I don’t believe that is a gated road. The gate is most likely in the wall/hedge alongside the road, but that’s not been mapped yet.
