Hi Glen. Thank you for your edits. We're happy to have you. Google's StreetView, unfortunately, shares a similar restriction to its Map service, and also not a valid source of information. I recently [0] had to redact data that was added from the map, that used this source for their edits.
MapCentral, and any other copyright restricted sources, cannot also be used. Either you collection this information yourself (an excellent opportunity to stretch the legs, and get to know the neighborhood better), or convince the data owners to re-publish this data on OSM. In lieu of StreetView, you might like to try out Mapillary[1] or OpenStreetCam [2] to capture street-level imagery yourself. /Erwin [0]: https://github.com/OSMPH/papercut_fix/issues/35 [1]: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?focus=map&lat=15.91667&lng=120.33333&z=10 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapillary> [2]: http://openstreetcam.org/map/ On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 10:42 AM Glen Scott <pave...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm making some contributions to NW Pangasinan (I'm from Australia, my > wife is from Alaminos) and would like to discuss some "rules" and seek some > advice... > > I think I may have already broken one rule re road tagging, but not using > the tag "service road" since that has a different use here.
