[Talk-GB] Notes feature
It seems that some businesses are starting to use the notes feature to identify their location, thinking it's just like Googlemaps perhaps. I think we should encourage this by separating the notes function into 2 , adequately labelled, one for " place your business/event here" and one for "map improvement needed here" Regards Brian ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Great idea. I spotted http://onosm.org/ the other day. Perhaps this could be used to capture the details. Rob ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

The place your business here may be better dealt with through clickable POIs on the OSM site, plus some dot or something for every shop/address available.

Re: [Talk-GB] Notes feature
Yes, I like this, very simple. I guess it just adds a POI? Who's behind onosm.org? Jonathan http://bigfatfrog67.me On 27/10/2013 16:21, Rob Nickerson wrote: Great idea.

Re: [Talk-GB] Notes feature
Mainly iandees. The repo is at https://github.com/osmlab/onosm.org, anyone can work on it. For those who haven't looked at it, it lets you search for an address, position the pin from the result, asks some basic questions about the business, and creates a note with all this information. It basically gets all the information I'd collect in a survey 95% of the time. It's not perfect, but it guides business owners to submitting the right information. It still requires a mapper to select appropriate tags and add it to the DB.

Both are calls for the map to be improved surely, even if one is phrased slightly oddly. We certainly don't want to maintain a permanent POI layer spearate from the main data if that's what you're suggesting.
