This past weekend, I made a long road trip. At one point, while in a
highway rest stop, I checked Google Maps to see how far I had come. To my
surprise, it showed me at a different rest stop, about 200 miles from my
actual location. I suspect that my phone couldn't get a good GPS reading,

Also agreed. The existing latitude/longitude system has the advantage of
being an international standard, supported by hundreds of different maps
and mapping devices, not to mention the GPS satellite system.

A lot of pharmacies in the USA serve as general merchandise stores, as well
as selling prescription and nonprescription medicines, bandages, etc. The
Walgreens Drugstore near my home sells food, cosmetics, toys, cell phone
accessories, household tools, and many other items.

If someone changes their user name, do change logs from before the name
change still show the old user name, or do the change logs link to a user
table, and thus show the new name?

It would seem that each user would need to provide a checklist of what they
find interesting, unless you restricted it to the most common topics of
interest.

In the case of Nashville, Tennessee, an Interstate bypass, I-440, that
loops about one-third of the way around the city core, deliberately made
use of a no-longer-used railway right-of-way to reduce land purchase costs.
If anyone were to go back and map that railroad now, the entire route would
There are likely some currently-living scholars, tour guides, etc. who
think of Dublin by all of the old names you mentioned, so, by your logic,
all of these old names should be included in tags.

I agree that blue is the logical color for mapping waterways, and should be
reserved for that purpose.

Not precisely flat, but with very shallow grades, by definition. Regular
railroad engines (as opposed to cog railway engines) can't climb steep
slopes. So, if you are looking for a route without steep grades, a former
railway is a natural choice.

One risk factor that the two-dimensional geometry of OSM won't show is how
a curve is banked. Unbanked curves are common, and I have encountered some
curves that are banked with the low side of the curve towards the outside,
very risky under wet conditions.

In some cases, the navigation path may be different from the named
waterway, such as when locks and canals are used to bypass waterfalls or
rapids. In the case of reservoirs and lakes, some areas may be too shallow
for navigation, so the actual navigation route may not always be the
shortest p
We need to encourage local mapping, but large-scale disasters create a need
for immediate maps, which, in some cases, means outside help is needed.

The claim that the maps are only for the benefit of Westerners implies that
non-Western people never travel to or trade with areas beyond their
immediate neighborhoods.

In urban areas, it is common to have mixed-use buildings as well, with
retail or services on the ground floor and residential units on upper floors.

Yes, I would class this as a rendering error on Craigslist's part, not a
data error on OSM's part. It sounds like the code is checking for the
presence of the oneway tag, where it should be checking for the presence of
oneway=yes.
