Hi Andy I tagged what I thought was the whole area rather than just one building. Perhaps the building name should be removed and the multipolygon have its name expanded? Ryes Brian Sent from my iPhone On 17 Aug 2014, at 23:05, Andy Mabbett a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk wrote: On 17 August 2014

Hi Matthijs, Who else can't make September 4th in Coventry? I don't mind moving the date but only if it's causing a lot of problems and we know that the new date will be more popular. Regards, Rob On 15 August 2014 22:10, Matthijs Melissen i...@matthijsmelissen.nl wrote: Dear all, It turns

2014-08-18 Thread SomeoneElse
Hi, User Gavaasuren has been adding a series of imaginary footpaths over the last few weeks, each with the changeset comment zwischen Fußgängerzonen und Straßen Fußweg erstellt. What they seem to be doing is joining pedestrian islands to random nearby roads in order to resolve routing

Hi David, Most of these problems are issues for a router for interpreting OSM data, rather than specific problems for the data. There are plenty of examples of people building routers for people with restricted mobility using OSM data (for instance wheelchair users, blind people etc). Most of us
