Hi All, I'd like to mention that a lot of the mapping going on in Lombok Island is happening by the local community there. They are pretty new to OSM so it takes time to work on QA and the correcting some of the tagging. There is a lot of work going on now to standardize on a set of presets for th

Yes Jaakko, very good advice. I would add that if you don't know to download the data first then you shouldn't be using JOSM or Mercator but stick with Potlatch2 as it automatically updates the data and is easier to use than the other editors. I always try to return to my edits after they've

A fair point Severin, however I would still rather complete what I can see rather than stop at some randomly assigned grid. As I understand it the grids have been applied to help people feel they've got an acheivable task in front of them or to direct them to a part of the map that is usually

Upload early, upload often... ... or even better: always download the data in the area you are submitting data for -- unless you are very shure no one is working on it at the same time. In any case I _always_ advice people to check the areas you have mapped after you have uploaded (update data in

But in this case you take the risk someone else is also editing these other box/grids/squares in the same time. And finally we get these duplicates you noticed :) Severin > -- > > Message: 7 > Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:34:51 +0100 > From: Big Fat Frog > To: hot@opens

BTW on the subject of editing grids, personally I don't always stay in the box, if I'm mapping a river or road then I'll follow it to it's logical or prectical conclusion, also any polygons I will complete even if they take me further a field. I see no benefit in adding incomplete data in the

Oh is that where those squares have come from, yes I would agree, they shouldn't be in the OSM db. It would be nice if the grid you are working on could be superimposed onto your editor by the tasking software but I don't know how. Jonathan On 21/06/2012 12:21, maning sambale wrote: Dear Nad

Dear Nadeem, I don't think adding a temporary boundary in the main OSM db for planning/referencing your field survey is good practice. There are external tools for doing this (if there are none, it should be created). On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 7:09 PM, Nadeem Sardar wrote: > this is a link for
