Yep, all visible, thanks, Tony. Certainly appears to show that the south side of Hummingbird is a signed shared path. Thanks Graeme On Tue, 11 Oct 2022 at 07:38, wrote: > Hi > The Mapillary is partially processed, it may not appear on the > worldmap yet but hopefully this link gives access

To open another can of worms, just spotted this linked from discussions on a completely different proposal: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/use-of-bicycle-designated-vs-bicycle-yes-outside-of-germany/3230/23 So, what is the relation between designated & yes? Thanks Graeme

65 uses of "goalposts", but I'm not sure how they would actually be tagged? https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/goalposts#values Turns out, purely as goalposts=2, at least in a couple of samples! https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/962060329 Lots of them around Hong Kong, so possibly only one

[talk-au] "Wrong" phone numbers

Just fixing a Note, & the company's phone number is listed on their website as 1300 xx xx, as they have their name in it. If you dial it though, the system will ignore the last two digits, as the first 10 make a valid number So how do we map it? Phone numbers are supposed to be formatted as
