>One other thing is when I start with a new task, sometimes a lot of work is already done but also sometimes very poorly, buildings not squared or misplaced. I wonder, should I correct that or leave it for the validators? Hi Henk. Yes, the idea is to ensure the square is in a finished state

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

Hey all, I agree with Blake iD is absolutely the best tool to use for new mappers. Yes is requires a bit more clean up from a validator but that is ok, and is best practice anyway. The iD team is working on the building tool but doesn't have a release date. Having this tool would be a game

Hi, Agree with Blake this would probably be the thing that would save the most time among all the possible tools to develop. We don't have tech volunteers that know well the ID system but fully support the initiative ;-) Martin Message: 2 Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2017 16:52:35 +0100 From:

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

Dear Everybody, I'm one of the new mappers and a read alle these mails with great interest. I just started to map 6 months ago because of an article in our local paper. First I started to map with ID, very easy to use but recently I learned myself to work with JOSM and the building plugin. My

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

Dear friends, thanks for the replies and engaging discussion. Can I propose that we start a google document to put down some of the ideas, and perhaps organise a follow-up chat or community seminar where the ideas can be discussed further? Outcomes can then be added to http://learnosm.org/en/

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

The interesting thing is when the very experienced iD specialist mapped a building they did it by placing a dot in the four corners of the building then the ways and tag were added very quickly by a short cut perhaps? By placing the four corners first you could see clearly where they should go.

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

Having spent considerable time fixing iD editor squares non-square buildings, with random shared nodes, connected to roads, and areas, getting a better first time result is so important. I pains where you come across a square that they have clearly spent quite a lot of time mapping all the ins

Note that if you are a project manager, you should still be able to map/split any task on this project. This was possible in TM2 (including all drafted and archived projects), but since TM3 this is no longer possible. This is a regression bug (already filed in GitHub since the day of launch of

It has effectively never been published (still a draft, not started at all). It's up to the project manager to publish it when he needs it... Not a bug 2017-11-20 6:16 GMT+01:00 Daniel Specht : > I tried to map a tile on #3637 (Bangladesh) and got this message: The > task
