* People are making discussions that come to no conclusion, this is so notorious. I guess one of the main reasons is that you often don't have to come to a conclusion. There is no pressue. If there is no agreement everybody just keeps tagging like before. I have this with fitness centre/gym no

Re: [OSM-talk] amenity=bicycle_repair_station :::: only 18 so far

With only 50 some nodes, it is hard to argue for rendering. I don't think rendering is important here. What would be much better is a very simple smartphone app just to find the nearest one and then also just integrate it in all the existing bicycle maps. __ openstreetmap.org/user/And

Please everybody report it here: https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ Maybe leave a comment to the real OSM Forum. And as already pointed out do not post the URL anywhere. If you do make it anywhere post it so it's not obvious as a URL in the first place. Or use an image. __

Re: [OSM-talk] Taginfo challenge

And how many mappers would actually bother to check something if they spot it? I think a huge majority would just change ToiletS to toilets, so I doubt a bot would be much worse. At least it would encourage me to work on that key overview, because after 10min last week I gave up, because it wa

Just because people some people make bad decisions when mapping, doesn't mean that the whole project has to lower its standards. And some people in this case are what? 99%? I seriously there are many people who would spend a second though when changing Toilets= __ openstreetmap.org/use

I've found a dozen really incompetent imports by following up on oddities in Taginfo. Simply fixing the tags would do nothing but mask the bad data. It would allow me to actually find the stuff that really wrong. As it stands now I'm not going to waste my time fixing 200 capital language spel
