|
| 49455774 | GOwin | It would be nice to leave descriptive notes for change set comments, to help other mappers understand the changes you just made. |
|
| 48789923 | GOwin | Hello. Welcome to OSM.Changeset comments are meant to descriptive notes you leave for other mappers, to help them understand better any changes you made to the map. |
|
| 49413725 | GOwin | Thanks for the edits!The tag `building=government` is a proposed tag and not as mature as the equivalent `building=public` tag. Also, when inputing phone numbers, make sure they follow the international format +<country_code><a rel="nofollow"ccess_code><phone_number&... |
|
| 49414860 | GOwin | These are secondary / multi-functional shelters, and you're missing the "emergency:" prefix for tags. Please fix. :) Thanks!Also, "evacuation_center=yes" is deprecated.See https://app.simplenote.com/p/XrwB6X |

|
| 49415095 | GOwin | Sir, these are secondary / multi-functional shelters, and you're missing the "emergency:" prefix for tags. please fix. :) Thanks! |
|
| 49301039 | TagaSanPedroAko | Thanks for you mapping efforts for Marawi, but it would be better to use a better changeset comment for mapping buildings in Marawi. |
| GOwin | Thanks for the continued contribution, jmbangate.I don't see why this particular change set comment is any worse than say a blank one.Besides, #osmphcitieschallenge is one of the oldest, active hashtags in PH mapping, largely because of this mapper. |
|
| 49324239 | GOwin | Thanks for helping out. We appreciate the help.Also, we received your GitHub comment. |
|
| 49088918 | GOwin | Thank you for adding data to OSM. But please, be kind enough to edit them on your computer so they are classified correctly.You're only generically tagging them as shop=computer. |
|
| 48987881 | GOwin | Hi there. Kindly do not tag buildings with landuse=residential.If you want to classify how buildings are used, you may, for example change this to `building=house` or `building=residential`, whichever is appropriate for your use case.Landuse tags are meant to be classify large geographic are... |
|
| 48988468 | GOwin | Hi there.

| GOwin | typo: `1building=residential` should read as `building=residential` |
|
| 48903009 | TagaSanPedroAko | This is certain that this is mapping led by the Batangas City LGU, but better use more clear comments for other mappers to be aware of. If you have any questions, you can reply here. |
| GOwin | Do you have contact information of the office/department leading this effort? |
| TagaSanPedroAko | No, but that department of the LGU, the CPDO, is already the presumed department that maps missing POI's in barangays, tagging building classifications, and the like. Please see this talk-ph mailing list thread: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2017-April/006083.html. Brad-M is perh... |
| GOwin | Thanks! I opened a ticket here, and proposed next steps: https://git.io/vHOPC |
|
| 48749193 | TagaSanPedroAko | Better use clear changeset comments when doing your edits as part of the LGU-led mapping. A better comment here is "Batangas City LGU/CDPO mapping: add barangay hall of Bilogo" |
| GOwin | Barangay halls are tagged as amenity=townhall and townhall:type=village.For reference, refer to Philippine mapping conventions: https://goo.gl/kyf0iU |
|
| 48616513 | GOwin | Hi Pons. Kamusta na kayo?Nakita niyo na ba yung bagong imagery from DigiGlobe?Sa right sidebar, click on background layer, then select DigiGlobe para makita at ma-compare niyo. |
|
| 48355643 | GOwin | Hello there. These are very good contributions to OpenStreetMap. Are you connected with any organization, or is visiting waterfalls one of your past times? |
|
| 48182455 | upendrakarukonda | Hi aquhcgudboy,Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Instead of adding park tag to node, It would be great if you draw polygon around the park and use same tags to that. You can delete the node as it's not good to have park tag to node.Happy mapping.Best,Upendra. |
| GOwin | @UpendraWhile using a park tag on a node is not ideal, it's not a good enough reason to delete them. Some users may use a node to temporarily tag a park, when there's no available imagery in the area (i.e., cloud cover). In this case, this person is a new mapper, and I agree with your sugges... |
|
| 43369049 | GOwin | Hi there. May I know the source you used for these digitized features? |
|
| 47828367 | GOwin | Hi Nate. Are you familiar with the area? Your revision doesn't fit the tag documentation:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwood. I'll revert this change set soon, unless you want to discuss your revision any further.For recent photos of the area, see:https://www.mapillary.com... |
| GOwin | By the way, did you chose the `natural=wood` tag to improve the map rendering? |
|
| 47357635 | GOwin | Great work Delbert! By the way, you don't need to add names for fire hydrants. Type is probably more useful. You could find more information about this POI type here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Dfire_hydrantIf mapping fire-fighting facilities is your interest, you mig... |
|
| 47619056 | GOwin | Hi Carl. Thank you for your map edits, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!I'm especially interested in the water resource-related features you've been adding, because of a previous collaboration we've had with Cordaid. Here are the relevant tags we highlighted for them, in case you're interested: http... |
|
| 45885405 | GOwin | Hi there. a flood-prone zone may be tagged as follows: hazard_prone=yes hazard_type=floodPlease refer to hazard tagging page here:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:hazard_type%3Dflood |
|
| 45766120 | GOwin | Hello there. Welcome to OpenStreetMap!"Covered Courts" are best tagged as building=roofIn this particular case, this object is more appropriately tagged like so:building=roofoperator=DepEdoperator:type=government |
|
| 44995355 | GOwin | Ron, welcome to OpenStreetMap.I don't think this is a good reason to delete this information from the map. It's analogous to banning water because they cause drowning. |
| GOwin | Kindly revert the edit, or if you need any help with that, just leave a comment here. |
|
| 44693905 | GOwin | why is the changeset comment a "fix me"? |
|
| 43030722 | GOwin | This police POI doesn't look right. Can you please provide details that can support this? |
|
| 44374804 | GOwin | Robert, when adding POIs, make sure you use the appropriate tags for them. For example the POIs you tagged as outdoor shops are more likely to be convenience stores. |
|
| 43341620 | GOwin | Hello DarynVladi. Thank you for your edits.I noticed that this changeset includes duplicate closed ways (buildings) in some areas, and that you're using JOSM.JOSM would've validated this change set before you've uploaded it and avoided this situation. Kindly rectify the affected building... |
|
| 44197723 | GOwin | Please select the MapBox imagery from the layers menu. It has the most up-to-date imagery, compared to Bing. |
|
| 44169229 | GOwin | Good work @Jneil02! Keep it up. |
|
| 44171404 | GOwin | good work. please don't forget to digitize all features inside a grid, and to square / orthagonalize buildings, before hitting the "Mark as Done" button. If it's not complete, select, "Stop Mapping" instead. |
|
| 44074958 | GOwin | Hi there. I noticed that several of your recent change sets are adding duplicated buildings in the same area, especially here: http://osm.org/go/4yf~ArRjN?way=456876405Could you please validate with JOSM? |
|
| 38515025 | GOwin | Hello there. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.I've seen some of your recent edits, and I noticed that you've been tracing buildings that don't reflect the size, as seen in the imagery.Kindly try to trace the building outlines, as accurate as possible. |
|
| 43623940 | GOwin | Please tag as:leisure=pitchsport=cockfightingSee: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dcockfighting |
|
| 43571362 | GOwin | attractions or maritime navigation hazards? |
|
| 43548895 | GOwin | It's nice to see you back editing again. :) |
|
| 43502830 | GOwin | Please do not abbreviate. If this is a school, the more appropriate name is "Santo Rosario Elementary School." |
|
| 43503095 | GOwin | please use appropriate tags. Funeral homes are tagged asshop = funeral_directorssee: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfuneral_directors |
|
| 43480370 | GOwin | Nice! Good job. |
| gkom | You're welcome! |
|
| 43480591 | GOwin | changeset revert after user SJDRRMO moved the building to the sea for "testing". see object history. |
|
| 43480285 | zors1843 | What's your point ? |
| GOwin | If you need help using OpenStreetMap, consult the wiki. Your edits are harming live data |
|
| 38368869 | GOwin | See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:evacuation_route |
|
| 38368625 | GOwin | In OpenStreetMap, we encourage users to map what is on the ground, and use the appropriate tags (instead of tagging for the renderer)A watch tower is probably best tagged as man_made=tower.If you want to use OpenStreetMap for mock-up plans, check out Umap: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr |
|
| 38368902 | GOwin | This is not a military installation, and landuse=military is inappropriate. To tag emergency helicopter landing sites, use emergency = landing_site. For designated and formal landing sites, use aeroway=helipad.See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Dhelipad |
|
| 43077532 | GOwin | Good job! Welcome to OSM. |
|
| 42228726 | GOwin | Hello there. Could you tell us what the source of your imagery is? |
|
| 42247325 | GOwin | What is "PNTC"? |
|
| 40958518 | GOwin | Are geoMapTool edits moderated by GeoThings? |
|

|
| 40939830 | GOwin | These "viewpoints" are redundant. The street names are already on the map. |
|
| 40774581 | GOwin | Kindly explain what these "artwork"s are. It doesn't seem like the appropriate tag |
|
| 40293739 | GOwin | Hello there. Could you provide details of the objects you've been mapping as "artwork"? |
| woodpeck_repair | This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 40750009 where the changeset comment is: revert tourism=artwork additions of Matthew Landicho after no response was given in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40320950 |
|
| 40381082 | GOwin | Hi there. Could you tell us something more about these artworks? What are they, specifically? |
| TagaSanPedroAko | Likely these are PLDT street cabinet. They should be re-tagged as man_made=street_cabinet with street_cabinet=telecom. |
|
| 39654955 | highflyer74 | Hello there!Is the _stn=* Key required, as it does not really fit into the OSM tagging scheme? If yes, you could use ref=* for example. If no, it could be deleted...All the best! |
| GOwin | It's not required, but I suggest you don't modify it because we're using them in some hydrants as an example for the exercises. I am familiar with the ref tag. Thank you. |
| highflyer74 | You are welcome! Although inventing new keys is not forbidden, it is generally encouraged to use the well established keys primarily to make best use of the database. Happy mapping! |
|
| 39658286 | GOwin | Good to see you still mapping, sir! Keep it up. :) |
|
| 39654229 | GOwin | Good job! https://www.osmhydrant.org/en/#zoom=17&lat=14.62518&lon=120.97329 |
|
| 39288823 | GOwin | @ockim16, don't forget to add bridges where highways and waterways intersect. |
|
| 38609836 | GOwin | what is it then? |
|
| 38257977 | GOwin | For data that's been erroneously placed, the convention is to move them to the right location, instead of deleting them outright. |
|
| 38111246 | GOwin | Keep them coming! :) |
|
| 37918674 | GOwin | The name "Barangay road" is unnecessary, unless there's a proper name.To indicate administrative responsibility, add the tagdesignation=Barangayto the way.The node "Barangay Tara Boat Landing" may also be deleted. That's the purpose of a pier, which you already added ... |

|
| 37677606 | GOwin | Please don't tag this route as a highway. Temporary events shouldn't be put on the map this way.Consider umap.openstreetmap.fr www.bikemap.net/en/ for this purpose. |

| 37558348 | GOwin | Hello. Congratulations on your new edits! To make more change set comments useful, how about writing something like "digitized building", or "traced commercial building" instead of a vague "First digitized"? |
|
| 37428405 | GOwin | Hello. Can you provide a link to your source?This appears to be just a *bill* and is not a law, and will not have any legal weight. |
| metaphysikhall | Hey. It appears there is confusion regarding the boundaries of the area.From my experience visiting the area many times, people often conflate, even residents of the marsh themselves, but there are 2 different boundaries: that of the AMWS which is the protected area, and the extent of the Agusan M... |
| metaphysikhall | ...unless we can get a hold of better data, that is. |
| metaphysikhall | Ah. Something to add: The original boundaries date back to Presidential Proclamation 913 from 1996:http://www.gov.ph/1996/10/31/proclamation-no-913-s-1996/Though the forthcoming boundary expansions are highly anticipated, and even seen as necessary to maximize protection of the Agusan Marsh's ec... |
| GOwin | Thank you for the prompt response. Much appreciated.I brought this changeset to the attention of some of the local OSM mappers and mentioned that it's premature to modify the boundaries based on a bill. Please check out the `proposed:` life cycle tag prefix which seems appropriate in this case: ... |
| GOwin | Also, perhaps you would consider reverting the AMWS boundaries back to version 1, then create a new boundary tagged with a `proposed:` prefix |
| GOwin | ... based on the Senate bill. |
| metaphysikhall | Hey, I just added the PP913 boundaries. I decided to include both the park's core area and buffer zone, as they were both defined separately in the proclamation. I'm not sure though if I got the naming conventions spot on. I hope you can kindly check. Thanks. |
| GOwin | Kindly refer to https://www.osm.org/changeset/37558311 for the modifications I made. And to the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area as reference for detailed mapping of protected areas.Also, the Lifecycle Prefix tags: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_pr... |

| 37321139 | GOwin | Hi Eli. It's not necessary to tag hydrants with name, likename=HydrantFor details, check out:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency=fire%20hydrantGreat to see you using OsmAnd now. :) |
|
| 35677966 | GOwin | What are the sources of these edits? |
|
| 37118053 | GOwin | Hello Lucas. You might want to wait for the Paypay tasking before you update this area, which should utilize the new MapGive imagery. |
| LucasFR | Yes, will wait for it. However, I did the changes by using JOSM and MapGIve imagery layer. Let's see. |
| GOwin | Try this grid, Lucas: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1509#task/62 |
|
| 37239025 | GOwin | As long as the data you're mapping is on-the-ground, and can be validated, i don't see why it should be a problem. |
|
| 37242448 | GOwin | what do you mean by "this edition" and what "important study" are you referring to? |
| manings | Hi, Whether it is for a research or not, as long as the data you add is true on the ground, there's no problem. But, if its wrong, it will be removed or modified. Keep on mapping! |

|
| 36871993 | GOwin | Rukku, are you taking out the operator tag because it's not Meralco's? |
| rukku | My bad. I accidentally removed the operator tags. I wanted to remove the name tag. Please feel free to revert it. |
| GOwin | @rukkuKindly do the revert. Thanks. |
| rukku | Done. Thanks for correcting me :) |
|
| 36871739 | GOwin | @rokkuhighway=bus_stop tags are not incorrect, and is usable for routing apps and software.

|
| 36753743 | ianlopez1115 | Please do not delete stop position nodes. They are on the map since they approximately mark " the place where a vehicle stops along a public transport route to pick up or drop-off passengers (as distinct from the place where passengers wait for the service)" (see https://wiki.openstreetmap... |
| vichwinn | yes I understand what you mean, if you want it that way then be as is.

| vichwinn | ianlopez1115 Im going to remove those 2 stop position and merge it to their respective station. By doing this I am removing superfluous data to map. By default a railroad station should be a stop position, and even if theres no passenger a train always stop at the station. Compare those 5 stations w... |
| ianlopez1115 | There is a huge difference between railway stations and stop positions.On one hand, railway stations are places where trains stop and pick up and/or drop off passengers, even if there are no passengers are picked up or dropped off in that station (per your point). On the other hand, stop positio... |
| vichwinn | No can do. What you have said is true and I dont have to disagree. From the example you gave from london didnt you notice there two railway and they identify which railway has stop position. Similar to ours there is only one railway from the map, cannot identify which is south or north bound to tag ... |
| vichwinn | BTW Im using OSMAND+ for navigating especially outside the country. There is a feature to turn on transport stop to every railroad and road and it will be highlighted. Thats why I am seeing those 3 stop dots from baclaran to vito cruz station but the other station only 1 dot. |
| GOwin | @vichwinnre nodes tagged as `public_transport=stop_position` are not, at all, superfluous. It may appear like that in OsmAnd (which, btw, I use and recommend, too) but those nodes are functional and exist in the real world, and follows the OSM precept of `one feature, one element`.The only... |

| GOwin | Name tags are not necessary to tag features, so there is no need to add them, as is the case here.In an ideal network route map, both physical railways can be added. But, taking advantage of the flexibility of OSM relations make this unnecessary.I hope I understood your question correctly. T... |

|
| 36040225 | GOwin | Hi there. I'm curious. Are you using GPX track logs *or* Birdseye imagery to trace features? |
| metaphysikhall | Hey.. GPX tracks are made in Basecamp, over Birdseye Imagery, then exported. |
| metaphysikhall | Unfortunately Bing Images used by iD has less detail over many spots in this locality, so I turn to Birdseye. |
| GOwin | Can you direct me to a link to the Terms of Use for Birdeye imagery? I'm curious about their data licensing terms. |
| metaphysikhall | There are several versions of Birdseye depending on the country; I can't find their Terms of Use, just the Buy page here: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/digital/maps/birdseye-satellite-imagery-subscription/prod70144.htmlBut it's quite strict though; I'm still on my free 1 year subscription. It onl... |
| GOwin | Yes, many commercial imagery providers have very strict licenses. That's why I'm curious because they may have issues with the OpenStreetMap licensing. Can you tell me about your workflow? |
| GOwin | Hey. If you want to chat, you can join some of us OpenStreetMap users here: https://discord.gg/0fRISIZ8VwKNK70q |
| metaphysikhall | For now it's just that: Tracing over on BaseCamp then exporting GPX files for low-res spots in iD. Otherwise I just go directly to iD. I've yet to try JOSM or Potlach. :DAhh. I'll check out the forum sometime. Happy New Year! |

| afffff | I requested it through my office last year. Is it not allowed to use it here? If not, please delete my changes. |
| GOwin | The "request" may not be enough for that purpose. We never got public domain data out of DPWH, especially shapefiles so this is possible not compatible with OSM license. |

| 34273819 | GOwin | Hello there Yanra. What do you mean exactly by " commonly a substreet"? |
| GOwin | By the way, if "Coffee Depot" sells coffee beans (and it sounds like it does), do tag it with shop=coffee.If it's also a cafe, add amenity=cafe.Welcome to OSM! |
|
| 34114891 | GOwin | Hi nerhael06. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.I noticed you've been adding new roads over existing ones. If you're trying to update the street names, you can simply edit the existing roads, without having to make new ones. |
|
| 33832971 | GOwin | If the actual building geometry is not determined from imagery, do not "guess-timate" the building. A POI to represent the feature is good enough. |
|
| 33899859 | GOwin | where does this road lead to? Tertiary roads are often roads that leads to, and passes through another barangay. If doesn't tag it as unclassified or residential, whichever is appropriate. |

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.Adding names is a great way to contribute data, but adding classification tags could help make the data better.For example:name=Orient Aviationbuilding=yesif this is a hangar, you could add:aeroway=hangarIf this is an office, you could simply ... |
|
| 33871098 | GOwin | Dondee, is this a baranggay connector road? If it is, you can tag it as tertiary or unclassified, depending on how it terminates. |
| GOwin | It definitely doesn't look like a service road. |
|
| 33698595 | GOwin | Good job Dondee! Great to see you still editing. :)So, is it really "Dgte" or do you mean "Dumaguete Sikad Trail 1"? It's best not use abbreviations so people from other places can easily search for them. |
|
| 33544287 | GOwin | Hi cokie_osm. What's this polygon supposed to represent? |

| ericdel | Thanks for the comments, You are right Gowin. As I explore more on editing lines and areas, the segments needs to be connected. |
|
| 33503460 | GOwin | Sir, sa dagat ba talaga itong beach house? :) |
|
| 33475222 | GOwin | Hi Dondee. When digitizing buildings, make sure that you cover just the buildings themselves and not other areas or other buildings. Each building should be digitized and tagged separately.Daghang salamat for keeping it up, and updating the POIs! |
|
| 33344960 | GOwin | you can add the tagamenity=universityto classify the feature you just added |
|
| 33230019 | GOwin | Hi Reymark. Welcome to OpenStreetMap! :)For sitios, you can add the tag:place=hamletto properly identify such features.You can also add the is_in tag to identify which barangay, town, province a sitio belongs to, like:is_in= <village>, San Carlos, Negros Occidental, PH |

|
| 32801950 | Totor | Hi Tinicab,I saw you edited several times this poi, probably because it does not show up on the map...You could try:amenity=post_office and brand=2GO Express.You can find the description of the tag here:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpost_officeCheers,Totor |
| Totor | Oops, it should be :amenity=post_officeoperator=2GO Expressname=2GO Express |
| tinicab | Hi Totor, thank you, but really, i'm noosebleeding on how to tag the name 2Go Express and FedEx on this particular "point"..right now still figuring out how to apply your recommendation...hehe |
| GOwin | amenity=post_officebrand=2GO Express;FedExoperator=*where operator is the name of the establishment as seen in their DTI registration. Usually, these are franchised operators of the brand.The name tag is optional, or it could be the business style of the operator. |

|
| 32712569 | GOwin | Some of these buildings are oddly shaped, most likely because you're tracing a couple of buildings together? Trace each building individually.JOSM is very easy to work with (install the buildings plugin) on features like this. |
| GOwin | Btw, great find with the imagery. Where did you get them? |
| prabeshbasnet | I usually use rooftops as guides, but I combined some buildings thinking they were complexes. Will change.

| GOwin | Ah, I see. You got the imagery layers via TM. |

| 30158584 | GOwin | It's great to see you're still mapping, and adding a lot of details in Bacolod. Thanks! |
| a_joemar | Thank you as well for guiding me as a beginner..am just trying to update and improve some obsolete POI. |
| a_joemar | By the way, on edit mode i just noticed on satellite view, the map is still old or no buildings constructed even 2 years ago. Will i expect a new satellite map soon? |
| GOwin | Getting to know when you'll have new imagery is hard to say. OSM only relies on free imagery that Bing provides for tracing. |
|
| 28885188 | GOwin | Sorry about the large bbox. Made a correction in another area, while doing another from somewhere else. |
|
| 28816584 | GOwin | does CAP refer to College Assurance Plan?If so, the node could be appropriately tagged as:office=insuranceSee here:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office |
| a_joemar | Hi, yup that's correct. I might have accidentally move the icon of CAP. However, that doesn't operate for more than 10 years, due to losses. But still the building is still there. Thank you |
| a_joemar | Also, that PCI bank is now UCPB. |
| GOwin | I updated the POI to demonstrate what you can do. I used the original node (point) you made to create you can trace a closed way (polygon) over the outline of the building, and add additional details where possible.Normally, nodes are used to indicate the approximate location of a POI. If satel... |
| a_joemar | thank you |
| a_joemar | By the way, i don't know if this a right place to place my topic.. re changing/modifying of old POI in respect of old/ previous contributors. or i might need permission from them or from the admin? for instance the old provincial jail is now a shopping mall that is under construction.thank you |

| a_joemar | hi,thanks for advice, anyway, i tried mo record my GPX file via OSMAnd apps for the new access route and i uploaded the file. it seems it was a success.but when will i expect the posting of the new route? thanks |
| GOwin | GPX tracks don't automatically turn into a way. Instead, it's used to trace a way/line.Using the iD editor, it's a simple drag and drop operation. Details here: http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/#configuring-the-background-layer |
| GOwin | By the way, your trace was indeed uploaded: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/a_joemar/traces/1882004 |
| a_joemar | thank you. i'll give it a try |
|
| 28819308 | GOwin | For a building with a BPO, the following tags could be applied:building=commercialname=*addr:city=*addr:province=*addr:street=*addr:barangay=*For a building with multiple tenants operating as different companies, each node may havename=*office=company |
