Some newbee Open Street Map questions (sorry to the old timers here who no doubt have heard this stuff before...),
Earlier this month I was in Perth ON, and I have tossed up material based on what I collected with a very cheap GPS receiver from that trip. I have run into small issues from the trip. like: - In behind the Perth town hall is a bandstand, a roughly 20' across octagon that raises a band maybe 3' above the ground, and provides a roof in case of rain/snow. Okay, so how does one tag something like that? For now I have used the "Arts Centre" tag, as it is a performing arts location (of the most basic sort), but is there a better tag? - How do you insert traffic lights into the maps. For Perth the two key intersections with traffic lights (there are a few other not so key intersections) are at Gore/Foster and Foster/Wilson... - I have run into oddities with JOSM map editor, and managed by accident to turn a small island into a roadway. A mistake I don't want to repeat, so finding a tutorial on the use of JOSM would be nice... - I have not directly uploaded the GPS tracks I collected on that trip because most start and/or stop of a family member's driveway. I would prefer not to make things PAINFULLY obvious as to where said person lives. Is there a painless way to delete parts of a track? Thanks.
