Cool, thanks! Yeah sometimes stuff like that happens in OSM, where some regions are very specific about how to tag stuff, sometimes in contradiction with other regions. Really any user of the data is going to have to do standardization/parsing, but we do try to make it as consistent as possible on our end.

Happy mapping!

Thanks! one minor note is that the consensus is to use all hyphens in OpenStreetMap for phone numbers, so like +1-206-547-5330. Updated, thanks.

Happy mapping!

Looks good, thanks for correcting!

I don't think this should be split with double solid lines, either, as there's no buffer space indicating separate roadways. There is at least one sign on Mercer Island indicating that it is illegal to cross the double solid white line, but there are no barriers.

3D tagging isn't my area of expertise, but this looks good as far as I know.

How did you get the building heights, did you use LiDAR or ARCore, or talk to building owners, or just estimate? Mostly just out of curiosity, because if you have a good process for obtaining building heights, I might have to learn from you :)

Happy mapping!

Hey, thanks for the edit! Address city name should be capitalized, and we use the state code (WA) instead of the full state name. The iD editor tries to autocomplete addresses based on nearby addresses it sees, but in sparsely-mapped areas like this one, sometimes you have to type out the full address information yourself.

My other note is that you almost certainly should use a "driveway" and not a "living street". Living streets are mostly a European concept, and similar laws and designations are rare in much of the United States. Living streets, I believe, are public and serve several residences, generally found in urban areas.

One last note is that usually buildings are rectangular or composed of rectangular shapes-in order to map these, you can use the "square corners" feature available in many editors, including the iD editor you used for this edit: select building > right click > "square" (or select building and press "q"). This will make buildings look a lot more clean and accurately represent their rectangularity.

Thanks for the contributions though. I know there's quite the learning curve to OpenStreetMap, and I'm glad you've stuck with us for some time now :)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I don't remember if I've shared this with you before, but OSM US has a Slack workspace that I've found very helpful for mapping questions as well: https://slack.openstreetmap.us/

Happy mapping!

Thanks. Just to make sure you're aware, demolished:building=* is for buildings, like these, that have been removed in real life but still appear on a lot of aerial imagery. Imagery often lags by several years, so such buildings are sometimes at risk of being re-mapped by well-meaning mappers looking at old imagery, unless we keep them around as demolished:building=* until most imagery is updated or something new takes over the space and gets mapped.

So you used this correctly, thanks—I just wanted to make this clear because sometimes that distinction trips people up: OpenStreetMap generally doesn't keep historical information around if it's no longer "on the ground," except in rare exceptions like demolished:*=*. OpenHistoricalMap (https://openhistoricalmap.org) is an alternative project about past history, if you're interested.

Already mapped at node/4428162203. Thanks!

Okay, I updated this one and hopefully OSMAnd and Comaps will understand the tagging correctly next time they get a data update (within a couple weeks usually)

Thanks for your work on this, I really appreciate it!

What do you mean by "doesn't register as a POI"? Are you referring to a particular website or app?

I'll remove the extra one you added and look into getting the original one tagged correctly.

Hey, looks like you have 7 warnings flagged by the editor on this changeset (roads disconnected from the main road network, roads crossing each other and buildings). Please try to resolve those before uploading, unless the warnings are inaccurate. I'll try to fix some of them.

Thanks!

180080302

Thanks. And address isn't "demolished" so don't add demolished prefixes to those tags. I've added them back on the building. Thanks!

179660496

This isn't updated yet.

179749277

Is this marked on a sign at this building? Is it a place customers would go to to drop off appliances?

179725885

Thanks. Is way/1487825283 really called 318th Street as well? If it has a designation at all, I'd expect it to be 103rd Avenue, since it's a north-south street.

Looks good, thanks for all the edits!

If you have any questions, https://slack.openstreetmap.us/ is a great resource, or you can leave a message here.

Thanks again and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Looks good, thanks for the contributions!

If you have any questions about OpenStreetMap, please feel free to reach out to other local mappers here or at https://slack.openstreetmap.us/

Hello @Lc4590,

Is this defibrillator inside the Fourth & Vine Building? And are there 2 separate units, one on floor 1 and one on floor 5?

Thanks, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

180030061

Thanks. Is this name written on a sign? What type of feature is it (shop, etc.)?

173912155

Hey @Sebasawk!

We're discussing this change at note/5197150, maybe you can help explain your rationale. Also, I notice the #maproulette tag—which maproulette challenge is this?

Thanks for the contributions!
