From: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/21098-eyre-street-basin-bridge-eyre-street-birmingham-soho-loop it seems that https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/245524100 is the "Eyre Street Basin bridge". However, I think we'd need a licence-compatible source. Nathan On 24/07/2023 16:24, Andy

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping of roads in Digbeth

2022-04-21 Per discussione Nathan Case
Hi all, First time posting to this mailing list as I'm new (ish) to the area. I've found that a lot of the roads in Digbeth (Birmingham) are tagged as residential roads. These roads, as far as I'm aware, are minor roads through a fairly industrial part of town. I'd have thought they'd be

As a public right of way, the highway exists by law - regardless of any evidence on the ground or lack thereof. I suggest not removing the section, but instead setting as disused:highway. This is what I tend to do when the PROW route is clearly inaccessible from aerial imagery (e.g. due to new

[Talk-GB] Status of Potlatch 2

Hi all, Possibly not the correct place to raise this but I was wondering if anyone knew what the plans for Potlatch 2 are? Adobe Flash will be unsupported from 31 December 2020 (https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html) . On, or around this date, Flash support will be

I also note that the editor changed Rockall from “island” to “bare rock”, and that Colin has question this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/86624262 For what it’s worth, I suggest the correct tag for Rockall is “islet”: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dislet This is

Hi all, Just to drag this back up - I encountered an unmapped showground (Chipping, Lancashire) whilst adding PROWs and don't know the best way to tag. It appears to hold a several large shows each year (well presumably not this year!) but doesn't appear to be a recreational site. I found

2020-05-11 Per discussione nathan case
I have a slightly dissenting view (assuming parish means parish name). At least in Lancashire’s case, I think the use of the numerical ID in place of the parish name should be acceptable. The numerical parish ID is what is used on the council’s own PROW map – as well as the open data they

Hi all, I'm using the very helpful work Mapbox tiles (from Rob Nickerson's email on 11 Nov 2019) to map Lancashire's public rights of way (PROW) under the council's open data licence. Generally, any existing paths already marked on the map fit quite well with the vector files of the PROWs. So

Thanks both - as it currently stands the whole town green is outlined by "boundary=protected_area & protect_class=21 & protection_title=common" (as town_green wasn’t an option, though, I actually added protection_title2=town_green).

I ruled it out because, from the same wiki: "This tag is intended for (usually urban) parks with managed greenery" and "parks not so designed and manicured, but rather left in a more wild and natural state should not get this tag, instead, use another tag like boundary=national_park" Thanks.
