Morgend allemaal,<br>
<br>
Deze week een paar triggers afgegaan hier door mapping
acties van nieuwe gebruikers. Ik zou graag user
"OsmAnd_Pieter" willen bereiken, heb paar dagen terug een
boodschap via OSM site achtergelaten zonder gevolg.
Spijtig dat een nieuwe gebruiker zijn tijd verspilt aan het
taggen van zaken die reeds in OSM bestaan.<br>
<br>
Probleem met deze users is dat ik vermoed dat hij via OSM
AND (zien usernaam ...) aan het taggen is, waardoor er in
'mijn streek' verschillende duplicate speed_cameras in de
database eindigen. Of eindigden, want ik heb de meest van
zijn changes liggen nakijken en verwijderd waar nodig.
gelukkig heeft die geen te grote changesets -voorlopig-.<br>
<br>
Ik heb geen ervaring met OSM AND mappen (heb het wel draaien
op phone). Ik vraag me dus af waarom de user niet zag dat
er al speed_cameras stonden, op meters van zijn plaatsingen.<br>
<br>
Wel storend dat je zo'n user niet kan bereiken, wss logt die
nooit op de site in.<br>
<br>
<br>
Morning everyone,<br>
<br>
This week a few automated triggers went off in 'my area'
concerning actions of new usrs. I would love to get in
touch with the user "OsmAnd_Pieter" to discuss some of the
beginner mistakes he recently made concerning speed camera's
that he mapped that where already in the map.<br>
<br>
It's a shame new users waste their time on things that have
been done already. I've removed the duplicate camera's for
the crossroad nearby but he's taggin them all over north
Belgium. It looks like it's done on OSM-AND, obviouslty
he's not seeing the existing speeds camera's on his device
and he's not checking his commits in JOSM.<br>
<br>
Pretty annoying we can't reach him<br>

If, while passing, you can reach or catch the one who passes time
bulk changing "rue" to "Rue" without changing the house addresses,
and probably other such niceties, put him in the same bag. Mustn't
be a newcomer, though, 'cause I think I remember that his name is
"Mercator" <span class="moz-smiley-s8"><span> =-O </span></span><br>

That's a pretty good idea. I'll dig through his changesets to see
if it is really OSM-AND. I think it gets save in the changeset
too afaik.<br>

I know Osmand, it contains some of my ideas (BTW, prefer writing a
forum article; the idea is to close bugs whatever way asap and to
never return to them).<br>
To the best of my knowledge, they have no OSM update. Unless very
very well hidden or very very new. Must be another app. I suppose <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing">the editing
leaders are found here</a>.<br>
<br>
Osmand (GPS) is a great routing quality check tool. It finds many
huge mis-routing errors like mis-tagging sending cars where they
shouldn't. I corrected several of them. After the wrecked cars were
towed, away traffic returned back to normal ;-)<br>
But I found that the mis-tagging could be caused by wiki
mis-instructions. I wanted to fix them but I was scolded because
"nobody will do that" (correct tagging, sic). I concluded that OSM
is a desperate case if those who understood are told off by those
who write wrong instructions.<br>
