I started adding individual signs (and street lamps and surface) but only after i systematically started taking photos with Mapillary. No mapping without images. Once you start mapping signs you end up finding tons of errors in the OSM Dataset (As with addresses - once you start mapping addresses you find tons of street name errors). And i dont want to map anymore without taking photos first as with the dense map there are a lot of mappers and with the photos I can always go back and proof something is exactly as I mapped it. So at first street signs seem to be redundant but that redundancy leads to verifyable data. I started creating my little own JOSM style as i didnt find any which showed the German zone speed limits and "Verkehrsberuhigt" I'd wish someone produced a Germany street sign style with all the DE:x signs also with additions like 1020-30 etc ... And please - an OsmAND view with street signs ;) Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de We need to self-defense - GnuPG/PGP enable your email today!
