Hi, It seems that we have been using building=ruins incorrectly a lot. :) It does **not** refer to the ruins of a building, but to buildings that were deliberately built as ruins, e.g. a folly you might find in a formal garden. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building=ruins There

[OSM-talk-ie] OSM Inspector Changes

Hi, http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/ Changes have been made to the Routing View over the last month. The old version has now been withdrawn and the new version has taken its place. As OMSI wasn't updating the debugging, there is now a backlog of about a month's worth of bugs, if anyone would

[OSM-talk-ie] http://taginfo.openstreetmap.ie/

[OSM-talk-ie] Crops mapping tools - 2

Hi again, I forgot to mention. I think the best way to do things would be to have the app link to a database that records each feature. The database can be linked to maps shapes store either on the database or OSM. The risk with storing them on OSM is that people can delete them or edit them

[OSM-talk-ie] Excessive imagery offset

Hi, Here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/201187920 the Esri World Imagery is offset by about 30 metres relative to the other imagery, whereas they would normally be within a few metres of each other and never more than about 10 metres. Is there somewhere / someone we can report this to?
