I've mapped a lot of bus stops in the northern suburbs. I've found that
sometimes the Transperth data (as evidenced on Googlemaps) can sometimes be
out quite a bit. In any case I decided that mapping them 'in person' was
better as I could collect other info such as bench= and shelter=.

I've been quietly watching the back-and-forth. My opinion (and mapping
usage) is that smoothness= and surface= offer the simplest and best

Take photos? I don't have an iPhone, but I believe the iPhone will geotag
photos with both location and compass direction. JOSM will open the photos
as a new layer and when you click on a photo will display the direction as
an arrow. Even without a compass direction, geotagged photos are still a

While I consider the whole redaction thing necessary from a global POV, it
is still disappointing to see the loss of data. My home "town" of Perth
seems to have survived relatively well, but it feels like some vandal has

I was just browsing the map and noticed a big hole in Subiaco:

Not really sure what I'm seeing, but this changeset (by a "pholland")
seems responsible?

Sometimes I think there are too many options to choose from.
Thanks! I knew talking about this would help me figure this out.

"drainage area". area=yes is required because the wiki page for drain:

only lists way elements for it.
John mentioned surface=grass. I've never seen one of these with grass.
More like surface=ground/dirt/sand/gravel/

Usually these things are next to or within parks, so I've just been
drawing the park around them and ignoring them, but I'm wondering if I
should be tagging them separately.
What are other people doing? If anything?

that are merely painted circles are mini_roundabouts, regardless of if
they exist in Australian Road standards or not. However, once you add an
island and kerbing, they become a full roundabout, and need (IMHO) to be
fully drawn and tagged appropriately. That's how I've b

Yes, I've seen lots of those too, and have been changing them to
junction=roundabout (with a proper circular road). I'm not sure about
traffic_calming=island?

Thank goodness the sea levels hadn't "risen" while they were doing their

Yes, I've just go
global warming raising the sea level?
It's also apparent at most zoom levels when zooming in.
I'd have a go at fixing it, but I'm not sure where to start?
