Updates:
- While mapping, I found a bug in JOSM which @TaylorSmock has fixed.
- There’s now an RSS Feed of data updates .
- An “edit in iD” button.
- I’m almost finished Game of Thrones.
- a boatable waterways view. All you boat & canal enthusiasts can now fix topology errors!
I want to add all streams in the world. but that needs so much memory that it gets killed. I’m continuing to refactor and improve the code to support it.
I notice this situation when trying to track down gaps. There are tagging suggestions for tagging “no there is no one name
here”.
I’ve changed the code to look at the existence of any name
or name:*
tag, so those ways without a name
will not be excluded.
To link across languages, it now groups based on the wikidata
tag, if it exists, and then falls back to the name
tag. For waterways which cross languages, just add the wikidata
tag to all the parts.
I then discovered this doesn’t work for the river Rhine, as only a small part of the ways have wikidata
tags.
(yes, I know about relations)
Thanks to all the people who are using this, it’s very encouraging. I can already see that the data is much better than it was when I started. It’s great to see that if you surface errors to OSMers, they will fix it and make the map data better.
