I think I know what you mean.

The ArcGIS map you linked draws and shows data from multiple sources (Esri, HERE, Garmin, OpenStreetMap, Microsoft, Facebook, and others). And a huge cross import between all sources to OSM would be extremely challenging.

My best bet is to keep improving OSM. Cheers!

Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day! 93/93

For building alignment and geometry, I was struggling on wheter to map the exact outlines or only a rough shape. Here you can see the 2 options side to side. I eventually decided to go with the rough building shapes, it was faster to map the whole neighbour (warning, high density city!).

It is not ‘wrong’ to put all those address tags. Feel free to map as much detail to your heart’s content. However, not all information is useful. All map features inherit the main location they are in.

When it comes to addresses, to me, the main tags are addr:street=* and addr:housenumber=. This will help and enable routing in other services based on OSM data! Other tags like addr:country= may not be very helpful.

Many times I see a large administrative boundary area, and all map features inside it are understood to be located in that administrative boundary, be it a city, county, state, etc. If a building is within the USA, you don’t have to tag it unless you really need/want to specify it (maybe useful for embassies and consulates?).

In the ID editor, you can press Ctrl+Alt+L, and a window will show the county, city, state, country, and latitude-longitude coordinates of the mouse pointer location you’re in.

Editing the access value is the preferred alternative, this way other mappers will not re-add the non-trail, you can also leave a note tag to further describe the situation and let other mappers know.

Ever heard of OpenStreetCam? I believe it’s a viable alternative to Mapillary

Writting on phone. To solve the afore mentioned scenarios.

Proposition 1: The multiple-value approach. Use a semicolon character “;” to separate different values. Example: The tag access=private;delivery will effectively keep the general public away but allow delivery vehicles. It’s simple to use and understand, and getting more support over time in software and parties involved.

Proposition 2: If you think a unique tag is needed then access:delivery=permissive will be good enough. In this case you would need to add both tags access=private access:delivery=permissive

Thank you I enjoyed reading. Me too, I’ll map flags from now on.

Hi Antoine, You can see and use multiple backgrounds within the ID editor, press the B key and select other satellite imageries available. Hope there is one cloudless, clear, accurate, and relatively recent. Good luck!

There is no exact frecuency for the updates, from experience these get updated anywhen about every 1.5 - 3 years.

If you can get an oficial answer or documents from the local authority allowing OSM to use other imageries they provide, then yes it could be included within the editors.

Fear not! It’s only a token so you get better as I’m sure you will make it for future events. Only Great Things Lie Ahead!

-When the map updates to show your most recent changes- Also note that rendering changes to the map does vary in speed through different zoom levels.
