Well, that is impressive! Personally, I only map sidewalks separately if they are clearly separated by a decent amount (>1m) over a longer stretch of pavement
This is a small city in Belgium. The fortifications are a Vauban Fortress; but most parts of those medieval fortifications are now nature reserve (and protected as heritage). Some parts are open water, others are swamps.
However, most of the north-eastern side of the fortress was mapped as "forest" or something generic. After visiting it, I started micromapping this bit by bit. Upon saving and refreshing, the underlying structure of the fortress was suddenly visible, which was a nice surprise!
Whelp, this is the beginners-question chat! This is already quite advanced what you are doing there!
You will find more information on the wiki page on sidewalks and the crossings page. However, there is no consensus on how to do it. Some map it as discrete way (but this is a lot of work, duplicates some data such as streetnames), others map it as tag on the road. Both approaches have advantages and drawbacks; for some real-life situations it makes sense to do it one way and it others the other makes a lot of sense. And there is a grey area where neither approach is a good fit...
Not to mention that this is done differently in some countries due to OSM-tradition, different legal implications or forms of the sidewalk... So, good luck with this journey!
Hi,
Addresses can be really complicated. The full guide is on the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses
Personally, I would open up JOSM, select all the buildings and slap addr:street and addr:housenumber=123on them. However, I would add addr:unit=XYZ on every one of them (as @Krzyzwen@feddit.de pointed out as well).
Next question: does every single house have their own letterbox? Or is there one location where all the letterboxes are located? Add a https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dletter_box with addr:street and addr:housenumber as well!
I don't think that adding an address to the plot of land is very useful (but a name of the project/area might be nice as well). Have a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place for this, place=plot or place=city_block might be appropriate depending on the situation.
Many addresses are still missing in OpenStreetMap, hence that might be the issue.
Can you please check if the address you are searching for is found on the website itself? If not, you can add it yourself. If it exists, file an issue with Organic Maps.
Cool!
Having some nice maps here? Sound like a plan, as long as they are (partially) OSM-based ;)
I did ping them to automatically post here as well
Well, we don't have a lot of Lemmy-experience too... I guess that the federation still has to take place? I assume this is a technicality and it'll resolve eventually.
