<div>Humm .. there are places I've been before GPS... One example:<br></div></div><p>
I
know the road is there as I've been on it. However it is now
closed
for vehicles - inside a National Park. I've mapped bits of it
into OSM as it may be of use to walkers. The bit I cannot 'see'
with
imagery I've connected with very apparent straight lines. I do
have
copyright maps of the area but I'm not looking at those now (they
were current when I was there ... many years ago!). I'm not going
back there, I've many other (new to me) places to go. Nor would I
request someone to go there. Someone probably will go there .. but
I'll leave their interest and trip up to them. So I'm adding stuff
that I think is of use, an indication rather than accurate in some
places .. but those bits are straight lines and anyone who knows
the area will know that those are not 'truth'. <br></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yeah, someone (you?) added lots of tracks through the Victorian Alps in very low detail. It was actually incredibly helpful, and really motivated me to go through and improve them all - rather than starting from a blank slate. And in certain areas, I get a real kick out of doing very high quality aerial mapping like this: <a href="http://bit.ly/1hXv9KZ">http://bit.ly/1hXv9KZ</a></div>

<p style="margin-bottom:0.5cm">I've been deleting the tag
"name={Unnamed]" and adding the tag "unsigned=yes",
in one case I 'know' the roads name .. but my source I remember as
a
street directory . So I cannot use it untill the memory fades a
bit more. In most cases I've been past
some of the roads .. and there is no street sign (indeed most have
no
power poles nor street lighting). In this case I think it can be
changed without 'knowing' as the intent is clear - there is no
local
sign to get a name from .. at least not when the tag was added. <br></p></div></blockquote><div>Sounds sensible.</div><div><br></div><div>What about this confusing one: <a href="http://bit.ly/1hXvwVK">http://bit.ly/1hXvwVK</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The picnic ground/campsite is literally signed "No Name", and that's how everyone refers to it. I have no idea what the history is. (And there's a corner on the way up Mount Buller called 'Unnamed corner').</div>
