I changed to putting the source on to change sets, but hit a problem with armchair-mappers. I found armchair mappers overwriting carefully surveyed mapping with inferior and often wrong "improvements". When I complained to them, they pointed out that it was not feasible to locate all the changesets and check the source tags. And I realized that was an impossible burden. So how is an armchair mapper to know that he/she is messing with something already gps/ground surveyed and keep away unless the source tag is right there where they can see it on the object? I nearly gave up on OSM at one point when all my hard careful work was completely destroyed by armchairs without local knowledge. I haven't seen anyone else make this point. As far as I can see, the only solution is to source-tag each object. Is there another solution? ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
