Re: [OSM-talk-ie] What are your 'must map' features?

[Marc Gemis]

Rebecca,

Thanks for the offer, but as I wrote, I do not map in Ireland. I'm a
Belgian following this mailing list.
However, I do hope someone on this list might get interested in the
topic and start mapping those objects in Ireland.
I wrote an OSM diary entry on the subject a while ago [1].  As you can
see from my list of Wikimedia Commons contributions [2], I do try to
photograph the less popular, or smaller heritage items. (and some
artwork as well)

regards

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] What are your 'must map' features?

[Rebecca O'Neill]

I'm happy to help with some of the Wikimedia Commons element if I can.
Right now we are running a photography competition to get people to take
photos of National Monuments and structures listed by the National
Inventory of Architectural Heritage and upload them to Commons:
www.wikilovesmonuments.ie
I'd love to see a lot of the more obscure images (that won't ever have a
dedicated article) be used!

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] What are your 'must map' features?

[Marc Gemis]

(although I do not map in Ireland):

* turn:lanes and destination signs, I find this very useful when they
are mapped.
* wayside shrines (or listed buildings in general) with photos on
Wikimedia Commons
* dog parks

Is the map server down at the moment? It's just giving a default Apache

[OSM-talk-ie] Mapping event - Ballaghadereen 5 October

[Tadeusz Cantwell]

In collaboration with the Northern and Western Assembly, we are running a
mapping event in their chambers from 11am to 3pm, to further improve the
mapping of the area and spread the word on the value of open-source maps,

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] What are your 'must map' features?

[John Sturdy]

I like getting overhead power lines and underground pipelines when I can
spot them on aerial photos, along with substations, pumping stations and so
on.
Also, swimming pools and tennis courts tend to stand out (on aerials,
again), so I map those when I see them.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] What are your 'must map' features?

[Ken Guest]

my wife has a bad back - so I map speedbumps and general quality and
surface of the road (asphalt good, cobblestones & potholes bad).
we've dogs - so I map public bins, even down to whether they're
specifically for dog excrement.
oh and osmand has this nice feature where it displays a speed limit sign if
you're approaching a set threshold of the speed limit, so I add that too.

after that, it's whatever I spot that's not showing up on strava/osmand or
streetcomplete for the most part, and preferably nothing that requires me
to walk the exact curve of eg a footpath - for small little dogs our two
can pull hard enough to make gps tracks look like something off a
lie-detector test!

so to that end, missing buildings, opening hours (though I'm less bothered
about this than I had been - shops close and businesses change so much..),
various
amenities, whether a road is lit and so forth.

[Dave Corley]

Great idea for a topic Colm!

For me it depends. For example, when I'm sitting at the desk and mapping in
JOSM, then my aim is completeness of physical features, so mapping
everything I see on the imagery, then switching on the old scanned maps to
see if there's anything historical I can add, and finally to add any
applicable wikidata references.

When I'm out and about, its bike infrastructure. Bike parking, shops,
lanes, etc.
