72019-08-28 11:29seav I have a feeling that Grab's backend routing engine might not support turn restrictions with one or more ways in 'via' roles (as opposed to just a single node for the 'via'). This is a really common problem in many routing engines and quite complex to support.

For example...
82019-08-28 17:02seav I had a private chat with Mikko regarding this and I can confirm that Grab's system does not detect the existing no-u-turn restriction. I have told Mikko to escalate this with Grab because they need to support ways-as-via turn restrictions if they really want to do proper routing using OSM.

Since a new bridge is to be constructed in place of the old one, why would you delete it? I think it is better handled by tagging it as under construction (though starting date of construction is to be announced).
22019-05-09 17:33seav We really should not be using "construction" keys or values for things that are not *actually* being constructed. If the bridge will be recreated in the future, then it is a simple matter to just draw a new bridge or undelete the old bridge and then re-tag it as needed.

I agree, but I see some problems with the edit, like tagging the flyover section over SLEX and Skyway as a trunk. It is rather an expressway, which we tag as motorway.

When tagging settlements, kindly use place=village for barangay administrative settlements, following OSM conventions.

For gated communities kindly use place=neighbourhood.

Thanks for chiming in, @Seav.

Well, the downside to landuse=residential is that they don't get indexed by Nominatim, or by Photon.

Ideally, we shouldn't use landuse for individual settlements, but to identify all homogenous residential areas instead.

Hi, the Surigao - Davao Coastal Road has been classified as a Trunk Road but you changedit recently into a primary road. Could you please enlighten me on the basis of this so that I would also know what to do in my future edits? Thanks!
22015-11-01 23:11seav Hi ampak. No, this is still a trunk road. The map style has been updated and now trunk roads are colored red-orange. Motorways are now deep red, primary roads are now orange, secondary roads are now yellow, and tertiary roads are now wide white roads. Please see the following OSM blog post for the a...

12015-10-06 21:32seav I have removed the boundary tags from the Philippines treaty lines and Kalayaan claim lines to prevent confusion with the boundary based on the baseline defined by Republic Act No. 9522.

Based on the the text of the 3 treaties, the treaty lines were not meant to be actual boundaries but rather a ...

How can we present the Kalayaan Group as mentioned on RA9522?
32015-10-09 18:59seav The Kalayaan Island are defined as a "regime of islands" in RA9522. Based on UNCLOS, this means that they automatically get a 12 nautical-mile territorial water, 24 nautical-mile contiguous zone, and a 200 nautical-mile EEZ (but only if the island is capable of sustaining habitation on its...

So do we use UNCLOS or PD 1956 as suggested by RA9522. If UNCLOS should we draw a 12nm territorial waters around Thitu, etc similar to what is on Scarborough?
52015-10-10 21:13seav "Regime of Islands" is from UNCLOS so that is what should be followed[1]. So this is similar to Scarborough Shoal. (However, note that Scarborough Shoal's 12-nm line is wrong. It should only be drawn around the rocks that are above water at high tide, and not around the submerged reef...

12015-09-27 19:06seav It seems you placed Carabao Island and Limbones Island in Maragondon, and El Fraile Island in Ternate. But these are part of the Corregidor group and are therefore part of Cavite City.

There seem to be different opinions.
At least this map of the Cavite government (http://www.cavite.gov.ph/home/images/cavite%20maps/legis%20dist.jpg) claims Carabao in District VII, but has no claim for Limbones.

32015-09-29 20:44seav I'll try to do some research but I agree that there's conflicting information. (Bataan *did* have jurisdiction over Corregidor at some point in the past.) However, I can't easily do the buffer thing you're doing as well as the equidistant lines.

12015-08-27 15:48seav Gen. Trias is not yet a city. The cityhood still needs to be ratified by the residents through a plebiscite. See Section 51 of RA 10675.

Plebiscite is just formality. They would more likely vote for it even if I myself would vote against it. But you are correct, it is not yet a city as of this point.

As far as I know, "Banco de Oro" ought to be renamed as BDO, since they are branded as such (see https://www.bdo.com.ph/about-bdo/business-operation ). I'll be dealing with that in a mechanical edit in the near future.

You are quite welcome to do so.
Initially I only wanted to remove the Garmin tags but since there were banks named BDO, BDo, Bdo, Banka de Oro, Banca de oro etc I had a go at this names, too.
32015-03-28 01:04seav I second the motion of standardizing on "BDO". We can use official_name="Banco de Oro" for the longer name.

Instead of deleting the point, why don't you include the point into the way you are creating? Just move the point to one of the corners then draw the rectangle with the point as one of the corners. Then transfer the tags from the point to the rectangle afterwards.

Do I need to delete the tags of the original node after I transfer the tags to the new polygon?

There are instances that there are both polygons and nodes on a particular feature. But these polygons do not have the tags the points have. What do we need to do? Copy the tags from the point to the polygon and delete the point after? Or delete the polygon and draw a new one using the poin...
52014-11-22 06:15seav In that case (there is both a point and a polygon already existing), just copy the missing tags to the polygon if there are any and then delete the point.

But, personally, I would merge the node into one of the nodes of the polygon so that the creator of the node is still credited in the existing...
