Hi all,
I appreciated being able to join my first Mappy Hour yesterday, though
without mic/camera. I'm quite enamoured with this project and hope to fit
in with the goals and the vibe.
One thing we talked about, and I'd like to explore more formally, is how to
deal with elevation in local

Ive been doing OSM for around a month, and have been mainly focusing on my
local neighborhood in Foothill Ranch (Orange County in Southern California).

Hi all,
I've been adding individualized house numbers to many houses in my
neighborhood, and I'm just not sure this is how I'm supposed to do it
because it just looks funky on the map.
One area with 1 or 2-digit house numbers:

This issue has come up as well with the height of mountain peaks; those of us
who hike in the mountains in the US know peak heights *only* in feet, but OSM
seems to reflect this in meters; this is entirely unhelpful to local hikers.
Us locals think of Sierra Peak as 4050 feet, not 928 meters.

I'm mapping mostly in Southern California where I live and hike, and

I’ve been using GoMap!! on my iPhone, and last night it appears that the same
changeset was submitted twice; it had been having apparent network issues, this
morning I find duplicate objects.

Isn’t the easiest thing here to just comment on each changeset with the
explanation? I have done this when I put an obviously wrong comment in a

What a bummer.
I went through all the ways in California, and half of them were in Orange
County where I live, so I was able to confirm / fix them via public sources -
two changelists reflect the confirmation and various fixes I made while I was
in the area.

I’m exactly one of those users: once I’ve confirmed or fixed the object, I
delete the tag, so this is still useful for me as a kind of

I have a Garmin GPSmap 64st unit that does a fine job of recording tracks, but
I’m looking to do foot surveys of house numbers in an area, and for that I’m

Proposed use case is walking along a sidewalk and
foot survey mission.
