| 73990412 by malcolmh @ 2019-09-02 08:02 | 1 | 2024-10-25 05:15 | plamen ♦69 | Hi,Are you sure that "seamark:distance_mark:category=board"is applicable in this case? Distance marks are located inside the river. |
| 2 | 2024-10-25 05:33 | malcolmh | You should contact the original mapper who made that tag. My change was only to the distance units tag | |
| 3 | 2024-10-25 10:48 | plamen ♦69 | https://www.appd-bg.org/mapris# Here you can find updated positions.I intend to replace all nodes along the BG-RO border. | |
| 128169930 by malcolmh @ 2022-10-28 11:07 | 1 | 2022-10-28 19:32 | ❤️🔥 ♦367 | hey, what's the correct way of tagging that a pile or post is padded with rubber tyres? it looks a bit like this: https://flic.kr/p/4SSyKv |
| 2 | 2022-10-28 20:17 | malcolmh | That looks like a fender. The correct tagging for that is seamark:type= shoreline_construction, seamark:shoreline_construction:category=fender. The attribute "surface" is for seabed type. | |
| 3 | 2022-10-28 23:02 | ❤️🔥 ♦367 | thanks, I wasn't sure if it counts as a fender since the wiki page says that tag can't be used on nodes - https://wiki.osm.org/Tag:seamark:shoreline_construction:category=fender | |
| 126364314 by malcolmh @ 2022-09-19 10:11 | 1 | 2022-09-21 14:17 | Jowet ♦1 | This shouldn't be tagged as a way |
| 2 | 2022-09-21 14:21 | Jowet ♦1 | I mean: This way shouldn't be tagged as a footpath | |
| 3 | 2022-09-23 10:11 | malcolmh | You can edit that! | |
| 4 | 2023-09-22 05:55 | quantenschaum ♦35 | What is this, a foot path over the water? I assume it is a ferry route. Does this actually exist? Pleas tag accordingly. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dferry | |
| 126364268 by malcolmh @ 2022-09-19 10:09 | 1 | 2022-09-20 22:03 | cytryn ♦132 | Hi,Thanks for the revision - you're definitely right that these slipways are not seamarks anymore. Nontheless, I think at least disused:leisure=slipway tag should stay there.Although one of them is built over by the wharf and the second one is a temporary storage place for some concrete pla... |
| 2 | 2022-09-21 03:01 | malcolmh | Done | |
| 3 | 2022-09-21 20:39 | cytryn ♦132 | Thanks! | |
| 124839824 by Natfoot @ 2022-08-13 04:41 | 1 | 2022-08-16 08:29 | malcolmh | How come the closed clearance height is greater than the open clearance height? |
| 2 | 2022-08-17 10:07 | Natfoot ♦56 | I think you might be confusing attributes. See discussion. https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C2VJAJCS0/p1660384595469759?thread_ts=1660384595.469759&cid=C2VJAJCS0 I will be fixing this as suggested in the near future. | |
| 3 | 2022-08-17 10:23 | malcolmh | I don't have a Slack account! | |
| 4 | 2022-08-17 18:17 | Natfoot ♦56 | Several Problems here. Differing heights for different parts of the span. Different width for open vs closed. No height restriction when open. | |
| 5 | 2022-08-17 18:18 | Natfoot ♦56 | As suggested in the OSM slack to use nodes as height restrictions in most recent change set. | |
| 108840685 by Lee Carré @ 2021-07-29 18:05 | 1 | 2021-08-03 16:58 | malcolmh | Perhaps your could share those thoughts with the rest of us? In particular, why did you change the "source=US NGA Pub. 114. 2011-05-26." tag on the light to "source:seamark=..."? There are about 12000 other objects in the world with the tag that you changed. Should they also be c... |
| 2 | 2021-08-04 00:40 | Lee Carré ♦665 | @malcolmhThankyou for your interest.I presume that you refer to note:source .I have been intending to post a diary entry detailing my analysis & conclusions on this matter, since it's received interest from several others. This will be on the next throughly rainy day, when I... | |
| 98856868 by rahra @ 2021-02-07 16:35 | 1 | 2021-02-11 12:00 | malcolmh | Bernhard,The radius tagged is no longer used. Light sectors are now automatically rendered according to the zoom level, so as to maintain visibility of the sector arc on the screen. |
| 2 | 2021-02-15 19:55 | rahra ♦2 | Hi Malcolm,Ok, so I will tag it just locally in OSM files for me. But how would you tag lights which have sectors that are shown with different "emphasis"?I tagged Hurst Point according to the Imray Chart C3 which shows e.g. the small sectors through the Needles Channel longer than t... | |
| 86917530 by Krille von Stralau @ 2020-06-20 18:06 | 1 | 2020-10-02 11:15 | malcolmh | Light ranges 200 Miles??!! |
| 2 | 2020-10-02 11:31 | Krille von Stralau ♦3 | To get any noticeable sector lights in the map, you need to set a light range of 200 miles.I think there is a bug in the rendering of sector light range. | |
| 88213308 by maurizioa @ 2020-07-19 22:35 | 1 | 2020-10-01 07:09 | malcolmh | What exactly are the 3 ways tagged as buoys? They cannot be buoys as buoys are always on singular nodes |
| 88288230 by mueschel @ 2020-07-21 09:57 | 1 | 2020-10-01 06:27 | malcolmh | What exactly are these objects? They cannot be buoys, since buoys are always singular nodes. |
| 2 | 2020-10-01 06:36 | mueschel ♦6,575 | Hi.I didn't add these tags, this was https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/8821330 | |
| 90471856 by Natfoot @ 2020-09-06 07:53 | 1 | 2020-09-06 11:37 | malcolmh | These areas should have the tag: seamark:type=cable_area.cable_submarine is the tag for actual cables |
| 38485682 by Dunkellin River @ 2016-04-11 21:06 | 1 | 2019-12-12 12:06 | malcolmh | What are these "Sea Rescue" objects? |
| 78129084 by VictorIE @ 2019-12-09 04:53 | 1 | 2019-12-12 07:52 | malcolmh | What are the nodes "Sea Rescue"? I don't see any object on the satellite imagery. |
| 2 | 2019-12-12 10:37 | VictorIE ♦912 | I don't know. I can only assume it is some form of marker used by the local lifeguards / lifeboats. they were mapped by someone else, I just tagged them with *=yes instead of something more specific. | |
| 69204029 by malcolmh @ 2019-04-14 14:24 | 1 | 2019-05-04 10:08 | SomeoneElse ♦13,390 | Does this actually exist? It looks like a near duplicate of https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4823246421 . |
| 2 | 2019-05-04 18:14 | malcolmh | You are correct. I edited this object blind, just responding to validation errors after mapping closeby objects. As it is just across the street from me, I will go and do a survey & make the necessary corrections. | |
| 3 | 2019-05-04 18:22 | SomeoneElse ♦13,390 | Thanks | |
| 67229975 by Russ @ 2019-02-15 15:15 | 1 | 2019-02-15 15:32 | malcolmh | There are four substations. The 4th is on node 6273857077 |
| 2 | 2019-02-15 15:39 | Russ ♦56 | I just found that one - thanks! Should all show up on openinframap.org shortly. | |

| 2 | 2017-11-13 08:44 | malcolmh | I removed the "seamark:" prefixes to those tags as they were not valid. If the resulting tags are incorrect, then please feel free to delete them. | |
| 3 | 2017-11-14 19:51 | fgouget ♦112 | In OpenStreetMap the name:* tags are for the object name and its translation, for instance 'Canal du Rhône au Rhin - Branche Sud'.

| 4 | 2017-11-15 07:54 | malcolmh | OK, I have removed those name tags entirely. In all cases the tag values were already present in other tags. | |

| 5 | 2017-08-02 09:39 | juhanjuku ♦51 | With "beacon" tag they are rendered on standard OSM, without - visible only on special maps.I suppose, this is reason why OSMOSE algorithm shows them as error. | |

| 3 | 2017-02-12 21:46 | chippy ♦8 | Sorry, I mean, it had been deleted and restored previously :) | |
| 4 | 2017-02-12 21:58 | malcolmh | You had created a duplicate of node 3815077900, which has been there since 2015. | |
| 5 | 2017-02-12 22:12 | SomeoneElse ♦13,390 | @chippy I don't think malcolmh created the duplicate - that was someone else trying to move an "important" node "somewhere important".

| 7 | 2017-02-13 14:18 | malcolmh | I was replying to chippy! @chippy when you "restored" node 1, node 3815077900 was already in the database & had been since 2015. Therefore you had created a duplicate & that is why I deleted it. | |
| 8 | 2017-02-13 15:09 | SomeoneElse ♦13,390 | I'm just confused because it wasn't chippy that restored node 1! | |

| 2 | 2016-12-30 07:12 | malcolmh | You are right, the position is clearly incorrect. My contribution was only to correct the tagging, not the positioning.

| 41709545 by archie @ 2016-08-26 08:40 | 1 | 2016-08-26 08:53 | Hjart ♦4,116 | Is it really necessary to duplicate tags like this? |
| 2 | 2016-08-26 09:01 | archie ♦1,305 | Yes, it is. It's not duplicate tags anywhay because it's in an own namespace (seamarkings). Purpose: Name of harbor to be rendered on map.openseamap.org. | |
| 3 | 2016-08-26 09:03 | Hjart ♦4,116 | Why can't you simply use the name tag? | |
| 4 | 2016-08-26 09:13 | archie ♦1,305 | On www.openseamap.org only tags in namespace "seamarkings" are rendered concerning at least harbours. Why do you bother? It dos not interfere w anything. The information is orderly in its own namespace. Nothing to worry about. Just leave the seamark:-tags where they are if you are not invo... | |
| 5 | 2016-08-26 09:17 | Hjart ♦4,116 | I worry because it's taking up unnecessary space in our database as well as complicating things equally unnecessarily.Honestly I'm feeling very tempted to remove the crap | |
| 6 | 2016-08-26 09:33 | Hjart ♦4,116 | The claim that you are not duplicating tags is complete nonsense. You have given the seamark:name=* tag the exact same value as the existing name=* tag. This to me is practically duplicating tags. | |
| 7 | 2016-08-26 10:10 | Hjart ♦4,116 | I brought this up on IRC and I'm seeing prominent members of the community agree that the Openseamap namespacing everything needs to stop. | |
| 8 | 2016-08-26 10:17 | archie ♦1,305 | I sent a message to Malcom Herring, who is a major representative of openseamap. I hope he will enter this discussion. | |
| 9 | 2016-08-30 07:42 | malcolmh | "name" and "seamark:name" do not necessarily have the same value. An object may be known to mariners by a different name than that used by the local area.

| 2 | 2016-07-12 21:40 | muralito ♦2,023 | The user try to add some warning to the waterway, so it seems to me that some kind of seamark:* tagging shoud be used, because is important for the navegation. | |
| 3 | 2016-07-13 10:30 | malcolmh | Sorry, I made a bad choice. Much better would be "waterway:information", since the mapped object is a waterway, not a seamark. If you agree with this, I will make those changes. | |
| 4 | 2016-07-14 14:00 | Skippern ♦280 | I tagged them as seamark:information (rough translation) and seamark:information:pt (as in the source) for lack of better tags.

Secondly do you have any information whether the disused=yes is correct? Probably one should als... |
| 2 | 2016-06-03 19:29 | malcolmh | If the light is located on the building, then it is a good idea to copy the node tags onto the building polygon & delete the node. If the beacon is a duplicate then delete it. I don't know whether the buildings are disused - try asking the original mapper. | |
| 3 | 2016-06-04 04:31 | Gschaftlhuaba ♦2 | OK, thanks. I put a comment in the other changeset: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/7850338 | |
| 39196623 by AdVerburg @ 2016-05-09 17:27 | 1 | 2016-05-10 08:00 | malcolmh | Please note that the tag "seamark:type" can only take one value. This should be the master object. Other objects sharing the same node/way are implied by their attribute tags, or where they have no attributes, can be detailed in a "seamark:information" tag. |

| 2 | 2016-05-02 13:26 | malcolmh | The data was extracted from http://www.vnf.fr/ecdis/data/Moselle.zip. The "national_information" value should be a French translation of the English "information" tag value. It looks as if the text has been truncated. | |

| 37225088 by malcolmh @ 2016-02-15 13:51 | 1 | 2016-02-15 15:44 | chillly ♦819 | Isn't this former drydock the one being converted into an outdoor theatre? If so, wouldn't be better to tag it as landuse = construction? |
| 2 | 2016-02-15 16:00 | malcolmh | The amphitheatre is being constructed to sit over part of the dry dock, but all of the dock will remain intact. As soon as I can get close enough to do a survey, I will map the new construction. The question is, what would be suitable tagging for an open-air amphitheatre? | |
| 3 | 2016-02-15 18:22 | chillly ♦819 | amenity=theatre with, perhaps, theatre=amphitheatre to differentiate it. I might be tempted to add building=yes and layer=1 too. Just because it doesn't have a roof, it still would be a building to me. It is a separate structure from the dock as the dock is listed so the theatre is being added ... | |

| 2 | 2016-02-11 08:27 | malcolmh | The preferred way to tag is the way the mapping community actually tags. Since that proposal was made, only 8% of waterways are so tagged. In fact more waterway=riverbank tags have been added since then that the total of natural=water+water=river/canal tags. | |
| 3 | 2016-02-11 13:31 | DaveF ♦1,566 | Hi MalcolmBeing in the majority doesn't automatically make it correct nor a reason not to change. If a better way to tag is conceived, making it easier for the data to be used, then it should be adopted. As in previous occurrences this is a gradual process often brought about by messages like... | |
| 4 | 2016-02-11 13:52 | malcolmh | I do not buy the argument that this tag makes things easier for consumers. Those that I know of all use the waterway=river/canal tagged linear ways. Anyway, good luck trying to persuade the other 290,000 instances of your case! | |
| 5 | 2016-02-11 14:35 | DaveF ♦1,566 | You appear to be misunderstanding. It's not the linear ways (waterway=river) that's the problem, but the polygon denoting the riverbanks.(waterway=riverbank).It's disappointing you can't see the clear benefit of not tagging canal banks as river banks. | |
| 36565266 by danbag @ 2016-01-14 08:17 | 1 | 2016-01-23 13:07 | malcolmh | "seamark:notice:depth_min" is not a valid seamark tag. What exactly are these objects? If you could describe them to me, I will be able to help you with the correct tags. |
| 2 | 2016-01-24 07:57 | danbag ♦9 | The purpose is to show to users the depth in that position.Another proble is to show to user the presence of kelps, floating long seaweed which prevent the navigation. I have seen you make a modification, the purpose is to fill the area with some drawing to show the kelps presence, in three state... | |
| 3 | 2016-01-25 15:33 | malcolmh | OSM do not want depth data in the DB, so you should delete these. There are two water depth projects underwsy that are building separate depth DBs. they are: http://www.teamsurv.eu/ & http://depth.openseamap.org/ | |
| 4 | 2016-01-26 08:00 | danbag ♦9 | The projects are wonderful, but here in South America we are speaking about remote bays where in the near future and for a long long period nobody will works with these project..in the meantime the users of these remote bays cannot share the knowledge of the skipper like me .... in Italy we say &quo... | |
| 5 | 2016-01-26 08:11 | malcolmh | OK, so if you want to put this data in, then please do not use the "seamark:" namespace. This will then make it clear to DWG that these are not OpenSeaMap tags. Perhaps a tag like "min_depth=xxm"? | |
| 6 | 2016-01-26 12:08 | Skippern ♦280 | There should be a seamark:* for areas with kelp, but this will be an area tag to render a specific fill-symbol or shade for the area, not for point depths. | |
| 7 | 2016-01-27 04:30 | danbag ♦9 | Yes I know the kelp tag and I use it. Thanks. | |

| 2 | 2016-01-08 20:04 | malcolmh | The objects “light_minor” and “light_major” are simply lights without any details of the supporting structure. If you wish to specify the supporting structure, then you should use a seamark:type such as “beacon_special_purpose”, etc. Then you may specify its colou... | |

| 35705586 by Sailor Steve @ 2015-12-02 12:59 | 1 | 2015-12-02 14:39 | malcolmh | This should be a "seamark:type=fairway", not a separation boundary. |

They are small stone plates showing the ref and the length of the groynes like this one (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buhnenstein.jpg). I didn't find anywhere else where these are mapped, but I thin... |
| 2 | 2015-11-17 14:01 | malcolmh | Within the S57 object catalogue there is no such object as a "groyne_marker". The type "beacon_special_purpose" is a carch-all for any kind of marker. This tagging is the only way to make these objects visible in nautical charts. If this is not important to you, an alternative wo... | |
| 3 | 2015-11-17 15:58 | mapper999 ♦377 | I have no idea about whether these marks have any importance for nautical charts. I live near the river and just found out what these stone markers actually mean a few days ago. As I didn't find any tagging for these things, I thought it is best to adapt the seamark:distance_mark for this purpo... | |

How am I, as a local mapper overlapped by this changeset supposed to know what you changed and on what basis and where? |
| 2 | 2015-10-20 11:48 | malcolmh | Point taken. In future I will do these type of edits in small geographical areas | |
| 33375346 by mikafinja @ 2015-08-16 18:37 | 1 | 2015-08-17 12:27 | malcolmh | Please do not put depth data into the OSM DB. Instead see: http://depth.openseamap.org/ |
| 32853141 by lars @ 2015-07-24 15:48 | 1 | 2015-08-01 07:19 | malcolmh | What is the object "Enkeliberget"? A topmark cannot exist in isolation as it has to be mounted on top of another object, usually a beacon. |
| 2 | 2015-08-01 16:09 | lars ♦2 | Fixed, thanks. | |

| 2 | 2015-06-11 12:18 | malcolmh | No depth data, either spot soundings on on nodes, nor depth contours on ways should be put into the OSM database. If you want to contribute depth data, then see: http://depth.openseamap.org/ for details of the OpenSeaMap crowd-sourcing depth project. | |
| 30938944 by Dalesman @ 2015-05-09 14:58 | 1 | 2015-05-09 15:27 | malcolmh | Yes it will appear on marine maps! This is an inappropriate use of the "landuse" tagging, which is explicitly for features on land. Also it is "tagging for the renderer" - mis-using tags in order to produce an effect on the streetmap.Please revert these and instead make a pro... |
| 30159006 by Claudius Henrichs @ 2015-04-12 09:28 | 1 | 2015-04-13 07:10 | malcolmh | Fixed. There was already a seamark node there that I simply merged with this object. |

| 29496516 by CyrusDreams @ 2015-03-15 14:22 | 1 | 2015-03-15 15:06 | malcolmh | The tag "seamark:type=rock" is inappropriate for islets. Ir should only be placed on nodes that are offshore. See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Drock |
| 2 | 2015-03-17 17:10 | CyrusDreams ♦1 | When I searched for the tag "islet", I was referred to the overview page at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE_talk:Tag:place%3DislandMost is in German, but in the English section the difference between rock and islet is made by size. Since the dimension of the objects was smaller th... | |
| 3 | 2015-03-17 17:30 | malcolmh | That wiki page is discussing values for the "place" key. Therefore, you would use "place=rock", not "seamark:type=rock" | |
| 4 | 2015-03-17 18:31 | CyrusDreams ♦1 | It isn't discussing "place", it is discussing "place=island" and distinguishes this tag from others. In fact, taginfo shows only 6 hits for "place=rock" and zero for "place=rocks". That is a strong indication that the proper use of "rock" is in ... | |
| 5 | 2015-03-18 13:11 | malcolmh | Sorry, I mis-read. The important thing is that an area which is tagged with "natural=coastline" cannot be tagged as "seamark:type=rock" as the definition of the latter is an object which is "awash or is below the water surface". An area within a coastline is by definiti... | |

| 2 | 2015-03-12 11:23 | Skippern ♦280 | Ouch, didn't see that, must be from the preset as well, just as the colouring I mentioned on github | |

| 2 | 2014-12-21 15:19 | malcolmh | The value of the tag “seamark:name” is the name of the object as known to sailors (i.e. as it appears on other nautical charts) This is often different to the local vernacular name, which will be the value of the “name” tag. Having the two types of name tag guards against edi... |
