Re: [Talk-GB] Q2 2020 Quarterly project GP Surgeries and health sites
I think a lot of the confusion comes from the name suggestion index (some of the presets for iD) listing Boots twice. However basically all (if not all) of Boots in the UK are pharmacies, because they do prescriptions. In some regions this is not the case, Boots without prescriptions is a chemist. In the UK it's more obvious using Superdrug as an example, some stores do prescriptions, some don't. If Superdrug does prescriptions it may be amenity=pharmacy or it may have a separate node for the pharmacy, with different contract details and opening times, but I don't think this is usually worth it for small shops. Supermarkets on the other hand, I would have there pharmacies as separate nodes, partly for the above, different details. But also because the location inside the store can be massively helpful for people who just want the pharmacy, not the supermarket. See Sainsbury's with a Lloyds Pharmacy inside it https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6868601075 Tesco with a Tesco pharmacy inside https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6841571554 ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
[Talk-GB] Update bus stop names
Hello, I've recently found an open data set with more accurate bus stop names than OSM. Based on my limited survey of differences in OSM data and this data, theirs has been more accurate. Not really surprising, since it's there network, and most of the OSM data hasn't been updated since the naptan import nearly a decade ago. I intent to start updating OSM based on this data. The legal mailing list has OK'ed this as it's OGLv3. I won't be importing any nodes, but I do intend for it to be "machine assisted". I will create a report similar to https://gregrs.dev.openstreetmap.org/fhrs/ where I will then go through on a node by node basis and decide if the node should be updated. Any tag I edit I will add source:name=Southern Vectis, and leave the naptan:CommonName untouched. While I do this I could also upgrade from highway=bus_stop to public_transport=platform, bus=yes. Keeping the legacy tags as the wiki recommends. I will be using this data set https://www.islandbuses.info/open-data the same data set is available for more regions, but at the moment I don't intent to use them, a local mapper would be better suited. https://www.discoverpassenger.com/2019/06/25/open-data-portals-go- ahead-group/ Any comments?

Re: [Talk-GB] Stale Developments
In that case wouldn't it be handy to add 'survey:date=-MM-DD'? Plus that bumps the edit date that'd push it out of this, and related out-of-date tools.
