12777691~ 8 years agoopenedMagiskter"Sunosaki Lighthouse" POI has no name POI types: man_made-lighthouse OSM data version: 2018-01-10T08:12:02Z #mapsme
2~ 2 years agocommentedMicha

POI exists in OpenStreetMap with Japanese and English names, but not in (some) mapping products (OsmAnd). This is likely due to the feature being an area in OSM and the mapping-product maps are produced without the "--add-pois-to-areas" flag.

Why was this resolved without a comment or a fix? The issue still exists - this POI does not show up in some mapping products (OsmAnd).

Wrong twice ;-). If the issue were an issue with OsmAnd, it should tigger a ticket to OsmAnd. Why Mateusz is also wrong is because LIGHTS are punctual objects in S-57/S-101. It could be two objects as elsewhere, sometimes it is not and it works on OsmAnd, but building in this case is *not* lighthouse!
9~ 4 months agocommentedMateusz Konieczny
♦41,432
Lights are rather point fearure but ligthouse is entire structure housing lights, right?
10~ 4 months agocommentedtrial
♦691
Exactly.
11~ 4 months agocommentedMateusz Konieczny
♦41,432
and properties of lights can be tagged on lighthouse, right?
12~ 4 months agocommentedtrial
♦691
Normally on points, not areas, so yes on lighthouses. The body may have a dissymetrical layout (for instance with the service building here, see Japan GSI Standard Map), so a point is safer. I checked on OpenSeaMap, https://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=18&lon=139.75613&lat=34.97541&layers=TFTFFFTFFTFFFFFFFFFFFF, it's displayed properly.
13~ 4 months agocommentedMateusz Konieczny
♦41,432
so is there actually any problem here?
14~ 4 months agocommentedtrial
♦691
Having a building - not two - (with building parts) on one side, and a node (with nautical information) on the other side would be cleaner. Formally the isssue is on OsmAnd side but the design could be better in osm.
15~ 4 months agocommentedMateusz Konieczny
♦41,432
maybe, but having both on area is not an error either
16~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
> so is there actually any problem here? Well, the lighthouse doesn´t show up in OsmAnd the way it's currently defined. Other lighthouses nearby show up - for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2018996890
17~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
Specifically, here we just have buildings; in the example provided, there is an actual feature of type "Lighthouse".
18~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
.. hmm, although in "edit" mode, it shows as having a feature "Lighthouse" here as well. Perhaps it's because the building and the lighthouse overlap here?
19~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
I tried moving the lighthouse away from the building a little bit (it was actually connected and sharing a vertex) but it seems to have made no difference - querying only shows "building" not "lighthouse"

> Well, the lighthouse doesn´t show up in OsmAnd the way it's currently defined. OsmAnd bugs should be reported to OsmAnd, not in notes
21~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
It is not just OsmAnd; this is using OSM's "query" feature here: As you can see, the "Lighthouse" node does not show up, only a "building" node. When querying near the other lighthouse I mentioned, an actual "lighthouse" node shows up. So I daresay the bug is on the OSM side, OsmAnd just happens to be the user-visible (in my case) endpoint which shows it. ---- Query Features Click on the map to find nearby features.

> As you can see, the "Lighthouse" node does not show up Sure, there is no such node! See https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1277769#map=20/34.9752180/139.7574831&layers=YD Separating the building in two separate buildings is simply wrong.

> Sure, there is no such node! When I click "Edit" here, and select the round lighthouse node, it shows up as "Feature: Lighthouse". Exactly as the other lighthouse I referenced which _does_ work.
24~ 4 months agocommentedtrial
♦691
Showing an icon in the center of an area doesn't make a node. Create such a node with the light/house information if you want. > the round lighthouse node A node is a point. There is nothing like a "round node", it's a closed way, an area.
25~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
I'm sorry; I have no idea, I'm not an OSM expert. I am merely reporting _what I see_ in the interfaces I am using. If I see something which says "Feature: Lighthouse" instead of "Building: Lighthouse", of course I assume it's a feature and not something else. If you know how to fix it, please do. That's what this note is asking for.

2~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
Road is closed (via a portable barrier) to normal road traffic. Bicycles (and motorbikes) should be able to get past. Note that the road ahead turns to gravel after a while and _may_ actually be fully closed as my own track along this road turns around shortly after it turns to gravel. I can no longer remember whether I just felt uncomfortable or whether the road is actually blocked.

Given that this is right next to my friend's place and somewhere I go regularly, yes. I see the aerial (Google Maps). The aerial must be more than 4 years old.

♦54
.... ok, it looks like the building information in OSM is wrong - there's 2 buildings on the corner, not 1. streetview is showing parking behind a wall a bit further down the road, so it may be correct after all. I'll check it out next time I'm there to confirm.

Updated building information in the area based on local knowledge & aerial views. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/183102991 Will confirm the parking lot in the future.

Just checked Google Earth which has image dates; dated 2026, still showing the carpark. So it seems I was confused due to the incorrect building information in the map and hence in error. But based on Google Street view it is a private parking lot.

do you remember why? how likely it is now open year later? are you able to check local news?
3~ 4 months agocommentedMicha
♦54
It was likely closed with a gate and a notice (in Japanese, which I can't read). I have no idea whether it was temporarily or permanently closed. Many minor roads in Japan end up getting permanently closed due to landslides and lack of traffic, or because modern routes with tunnels become available instead. Others are closed seasonally or due to roadworks. Interestingly the road 350 is a gravel track from that point onwards, and the is a track, and the unnumbered track is an actual sealed road.. Here is Google Streetview from Aug2017: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6hLLC7FfwRNZe35NA Conversely the "track" on the southern fork (whose note you closed) is an actual road the same size as the other road and it was passable when I went through there.
