Congrats!!!
( I didn't connect the OSM username with you.)
To me, as there are not much real unmapped places in Belgium, you should
always start from the map and during survey check what is missing and
otherwise, if what is present on the map is actually still present and
correct.
Else you could take a lot of pictures and notes of things already done.
Seems a waste of time and effort to me.
As said below, for me the current mapping of sidewalks is fine!
For the buildings and house numbering, I see a lot of the same problems
with these automatic imports as in regard with the 'import' of satelite
photo's.
Every day, buildings, new streets, ... get constructed or demolished.
Satelite photo's and databases are frequently not on par with the real
situation.
eg. In Huldenberg you have Zagerijstraat, Priesterberg, 20 houses down
at the St-Jansbergstwg, etc.
IMO, every import at the desk, should be followed or preceeded by a
survey at place, to verify current status.
I consider these tools more as a drawing aid and see the real force of
the open street map in its continual survey by the many and as such
following much closer the reality, then the other tools.
Regards,
Gerard

I know I mapped the place in detail, but I hoped people would mention
what they would map without looking at the map :-)
I stopped mapping house numbers ( I have collected more than 20.000 by
hand according to Pascal Neis :-) ), as they are imported via CRAB at
the moment and maybe later this year via a GRB import (with the
buildings).
That's why I turned to other stuff.
I've heard pro's and con's for separate sidewalks & cycleways. I don't
separate them as long as there is no physical barrier (hedge, guard
rail, ditch,...)
I'll try to map sidewalk=... or cycleway=... on the road though.
I'll have a closer look at the TIA sign

Hi,
Checking on the map, learns me that most items are already thoroughly mapped
(street cabinets, bins, advertising, lanes, crossings,...)
Things lacking, but not derivable from the photo are the division of
buildings and the corresponding addresses of the buildings.
IMO addresses are of more importance then the little street furniture and
should get more priority in mapping.
Not meaning, that I don't appreciate these mappings, every added object
counts!
When you have lot of time, you could also map the separated footwalk and
bicycle paths, but this is advanced stuff, and I don't recommend it, as it
is not so easy to make a correct separation and have all options for
connections and resulting in no foot etc on the main highway itself, so that
routing programs for bike and foot will always select the correct paths. If
not done well, it makes more clutter then making things real or clear.
It seems these paths are already good and sufficient tagged in the map.
So, in short, at first sight, not much extra to map from the photo.
(I assume the sign to TIA is simply a direction and not part of a (tourist)
route, which would imply a missing relation for some bicycle route/network)
Regards,
Gerard.

I wonder whether we could learn to see/map more by looking at each
other's survey pictures. Would it allow novices to "see more" ? Let's
try out
I know the mailing list does not allow to include pictures, so you
have to do it with a link
What could/would you map when you look at [1] ? What would you
investigate further ?
Feel free to answer in French/German/English or Dutch
p.s. Feel free to look at the other pictures at the site [2] and map
anything you want :-) Under the picture you'll find a (i) which shows
a map when you click it
---- Nederlands ----
Ik vraag me af of we van elkaar kunnen leren als we kijken naar de
foto's die we maken tijdens een survey ? Zou het helpen om
(beginnende) mappers meer te leren zien ? Laat ons het eens
uitproberen. Jammer genoeg laat de mailing list niet toe om foto's toe
te voegen, dus moet je het met een link stellen
Wat zou je kunnen mappen, of wat map je gewoonlijk als je [1] bekijkt
? Wat zou je van nader bij gaan bekijken ?
p.s. Het staat je vrij om naar de andere foto's op de site [2] te
kijken en om het even wat te mappen dat je erop ziet :-) Onder de foto
staat een (i), als je daarop klikt, zie je een kaartje.
