Huntress, put every Scoll of Upgrade into the studded gloves

Hi @activistPnk, you have some good ideas and you can directly start contributing to it.

The OpenStreetMap Database is a very flexible and open key-value store. Everybody can add any values to the Database even when they are not documented yet. This is how we came so far and successful with OpenStreetMap. This journey continues as long as enough people contributed their ideas to OpenStreetMap and try to find consens with the other mappers for common meanings.

So for a lot of examples you mentioned there are already established keys:

name=* brand=* operator=* network=* fee=* charge=* currency:EUR=yes/no currency:USD=yes/no currency:GPB=yes/no cash_out:notes:denominations=* cash_withdrawal:limit=* indoor=yes/no opening_hours=*

For your other information you can just invent new tags and use them. Maybe then more people will jump on them. Best practice is, to regularly visit taginfo.openstreetmap.org for used keys and values. Also wiki.openstreetmap.org is useful to documente used values. And vote for things in Proposals, when different solutions are competing against each other.

The most annoying thing when adding POIs with Osmand for me is, that the POIs are disappearing when uploaded.

The POIs are only coming back after map update which takes couple of days or weeks.

That means its impossible fix an error on the new POI. Another editor needs to be used then. I use Vespucci in these cases.

How is the connection between OpenStreetMap POIs and Mangrove Reviews? How does a map user find the reviews for a specific POI?

I was checking out https://mangrove.reviews and it seems that it is using Name+GeoCoordinates to identify an POI.

@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?

While StreetComplete is very careful with the quests, my experience with SCEE was much worse. As an example, with current SCEE 58.2 the building color quest is still buggy. The brown, black and white choices are showing wrong colored illustrations.

Therefore SCEE is not a recommendation for me.

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

I already contacted them, asked them to have a look on www.osm.org/copyright

My suggestion:

• create a single node with leisure=recretion_ground
• add the benches with two more nodes as amenity=bench
• add the wooden structure as building=yes

cool. Would be great if some Linux Distributions would add it to their packages

I had the feeling the author is meaning rogue in a positive way here. At least the article sounds quite positive and impressed about that project.

same for hiking and biking routes. I found some obvious errors but I am not able to fix it with ID. I created some notes for them but since several monthes nobody fixed it.
