changes, but they would have been originally created via survey or from
Yahoo. Certainly names would not have been sourced from nearmap.
Wouldn't it would make more sense if the source tag was only applied to
changesets? Even that is not ideal as in one changeset multiple sources
could be used, ie survey for names, nearmap for layout.<br></div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><br>Hmm, a source tag applied to changesets sort of makes sense, except that I find changesets very nebulous and awkward objects to work with (in Potlatch, anyway).<br>
<br>I personally have been doing a fair bit of what you describe, in Melbourne. Mostly fixing stuff that was traced from MMBW - quite a lot of minor road realignments, new dead-ends, roundabouts etc etc. I eventually settled on changing the "source=MMBW" to "source:name=MMBW" and adding "source=nearmap". Sometimes if I'm only changing a couple of points, I'll tag those nodes individually.<br>
<br>Still, I add a lot of new stuff too: tracing landuse=retail, adding highway=cycleway, quite a few laneways, and there are still a surprisingly large number of streets missing in Melbourne. Oh, and a few major duplicated roads (eg, Nepean Highway, South Road) need a lot of work: missing service roads, missing cut-throughs, missing junctions, junctions that don't exist...<br>
