Re: [OSM-talk] Odd mapping in Atar Mauritania

What you can also do is map 1 new building properly and then use replace geometry, if history seems important enough to preserve. Polyglot 2017-11-08 18:47 GMT+01:00 Andy Townsend : > On 08/11/2017 17:40, john whelan wrote: > >> ... and to be honest how does one correct this

Re: [OSM-talk] Odd mapping in Atar Mauritania

These days most of my time is spent "validating" on HOT projects. I've found that if I can give feedback to the mapper within 24 hrs we usually get more mapping from them and of higher quality. Then I find you get into diminishing returns. At three months afterwards quite often you'll get no

Re: [OSM-talk] Odd mapping in Atar Mauritania

If it is an untagged way that covers the whole block of buildings I would say just delete it. It is not accurate data anyway, so not really worth keeping. I know we try very hard to clean up data from newbies, but this I think is beyond the point where it makes sense to. -AndrewBuck On

http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/330511654#map=16/20.5184/-13.0507 But you really need to zoom in using JOSM to see the problem. The best way to describe it is the road network is a grid but each block of buildings has been mapped as a single building rather than the six to a dozen separate
