Hi Nick,
Yep thats a good idea to add the survey tag. Interestingly the ways did
not not have a source tag up until jan 2013 however Steve91 added the
source
no issues with you reverting the changes I made to the
intersection, as long as the traffic routing is consistent along the ways.

Steve.

There used to be a view that Openstreetmap could produce higher quality
maps through local knowledge so we could eliminate the sort of comical
routing errors that would have people driving into rivers. Unfortunately

Two years or 3 its not that important osm will recover. Community based

These layers could then be attributed when or if they are actually shown.

Hi,
Thats quite a lot of travelling. I've traced in a very small part of the data

Sounds good. Clear simple support for adding addresses would be especially
useful. This is probably the area that OSM is furthest behind other online
maps and its not improving very quickly at the moment.

Only the vast majority of these were not sourced from Nearmap (except in
some of the country areas not previously covered by Yahoo). They may
have been updated by somebody using nearmap imagery, mostly trivial
changes, but they would have been originally created via survey or from
Yahoo.

Are you using JOSM or Potlatch. In JOSM adding ways to a relation is nothing
to worry about, you simply open the relation for editing. Select the way(s)

Hi Mikel,
I made a couple of changes as per the 2005 CIA map. Not sure if they reflect
the situation on the ground.
1) Named the north south road Salahadeen Road
2) Moved this road to the East to reflect its path on the CIA map. Google
maps shows a road following this path, however it

there is a bridge in these cases so I'm tempted to leave them. There are a few

I don't have a problem with subjective and I think maybe we should use some of
