I do something similar cleaning the data using the http://keepright.ipax.at/ data checker, primarily fixing junctions so the map is routable. Ordinarily I'll just write 'fixed junctions' as the comment. Only if I think there is some potential doubt or controversy will I note my reasons for making a particular assumption. <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5332272> is an example: "OS indicates this road joins the other one to its west, and the aerial photo shows at least a gap between buildings, so I'll assume it does." But that long message is the exception. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
