Oh god people use footway=link on sidewalks 🤦 this is why OSM is still so inferior to Google maps when it comes to navigation. We will have no consistency and nobody will want to put effort into dealing with a million different edge cases of people mapping in their back yard.

For example this definition is absolutely ridiculous https://github.com/OpenSidewalks/OpenSidewalks-Schema#crossings-do-not-connect-to-sidewalk-centerlines

The OpenSidewalks Schema defines Crossings as existing only on the street surface and Sidewalks as describing only the sidewalk centerline. There must therefore always be space between a Sidewalk and a Crossing. A Sidewalk and Crossing should be connected by a plain Footway.

What? 🤨🤦 These are absolutely ridiculous instructions and they create unnecessary chaos and mishmash of tags for sidewalks. Sidewalks extend all the way to the curb. There’s absolutely no need to create incomplete footpaths purely because Opensidewalks’ schema is incomplete or their routing software is incompetent. That is “tagging for renderer” and that’s wrong! Use it as inspiration to understand the need of mapping sidewalks, but not as direct guidelines on how to tag things.

Overall Opensidewalks tagging schema is pretty outdated, needs overhaul and I wouldn’t use it without it getting updated.

Sidewalks or crossings shouldn’t be named unless they explicitly have separate names from the adjacent street.

You don’t finish a marathon in one step.😉

Learn keyboard shortcuts to make mapping a lot faster

Make it like a pacman game to eat dots on ways less traveled.

Long time ago Waze was doing this to encourage people to travel on the unmapped/unverified roads.

Many of these steps could be automated with Ansible. Faster execution time, less chance for typos or forgetting/skipping steps.

I don’t understand what is “urine deflector” in that photo? Charred street pole?

This kind of stuff should be forwarded to https://youtube.com/@TheTimTraveller He has a few videos of weird borders. 🙂

It should be mapped after June 29th when it’s actually open and usable.

Having some data everywhere is more useful than no data almost everywhere 🤷 You could add those buildings and they would be good enough and useful for most users and then you can sit around and improve them at your own pace.

There are various conflation processes. You could review every imported object or overwrite existing objects or probably the easiest, if there’s something already there, skip that.

Check if your government has open data portal from which buildings could be imported as a whole. Reach out to your local mapping community for help. They might know where to go for such data. Also check with RapiD, it might already have building shapes for you to import.

You can also try https://projets.pavie.info/yohours/ to generate some complex opening hours strings.

I think you used up your yearly quota of capital letters… 🤔

The biggest problem with ChatGPT is that it sounds equally confident when it’s right and when it’s wrong. In other words it’s really good liar.🙂

Am I wrong or you can have 2 shop= keys or 1 key with 2 values separated by ; ?

A ghost made a comment! 😱👻

What does this have to do with osm? 🤨

Another way to approach group POI mapping is to add those poi with only basic info, like name and nothing else and then use StreetComplete’s “team mode” to evenly split “data enrichment” tasks of those POIs.

EveryDoor is a great tool to have, but yes, some of its design decisions are a bit strange 🙂like poi are sorted vertically and scroll to the right 😵‍💫or opening hours editor like you already mentioned 🙂

People like you are so anti-Russian that you can’t fathom this whole thing might be more nuanced then everyone in the contested areas being forced at gun to have a pro-Russian opinion or whatever. Your essentially doing the same paternalistic nonsense that Russia is, but from the opposite side.

I highly recommend you stop putting words in my mouth since you have NO IDEA who I am, my background, my history or my viewpoints.
