Hello everyone!

You can participate from anywhere worldwide!

Friday Midday update (3:30PM local time): 4% mapped, 3% validated

Notes: the task manager will suggest Bing as imagery, Esri / Esri clarity is much clearer in this area!

Special thanks: @LordGarySugar and @wireguy for the fantastic work!

The wiki instructions say “please conflate the address to the building when appropriate.” Does that mean to put the address tags onto the newly-drawn building (via iD “merge” or JOSM “Replace Geometry”), or it is trying to say to make sure the address node (which remains separate) should be roughly in the center of the building? I’ve seen different areas use different conventions, and I’m not sure what the word “conflate” is trying to mean here.

I’d say add to the building you create :slight_smile: I’ve been copying the address to the building and deleting the address node from the import.

I shared a link to here in the Urbanist Shoreline Hackamapathon 2 event that I’m currently attending - and I encouraged folks to mark their changesets with “Review Requested” so please help our new friends along and provide mapping feedback!
