Andrew, I've done one. Just clarifying regarding the branch. branch  =   Narrabeen Fire Station name   =  Fire and Rescue NSW Station 068 Narrabeen Is this how you suggested? Before the branch tag was the name. I've also added building =    fire_station

I'm not sure what these are called or look like in other states, but in NSW they look like https://www.flickr.com/photos/136319147@N08/49324333543/ and they are operated by the NSW RFS. emergency=assembly_point seems like the best tag to use per the wiki

The GNAF license is pretty open, just not open enough for importing to OpenStreetMap. I'd still recommend any services trying to do geocoding to also use GNAF as fallback source if not found in OSM. On Fri, 3 Jan 2020 at 11:04, Michael Shafer wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I noticed that street

Nice work, would love to see more roof top solar panels mapped. The Tasking Manager https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tasking_Manager might suit this better than MapRoulette, since Tasking Manager breaks an area up into tiles and you go in, choose a tile, complete it, then upload. It helps

My impression was that the 1.8m jump was to do with the GDA standard (and therefore the MGA standards too). These seem like Australian specific coordinate systems that are being adjusted. I assumed that OSM stored its data in WGS84, which to my understanding is separate to a new definition of a
