<br>
I had a footpath between them.<br>
<br>
IMO users should be responsible for their own actions. Users
should map what they believe to be useful or important &
objects with little benefit just to prevent others adding errors.
Especially when those errors aren't "mistakes", but guesses made
with aforethought.<br>
<br>
I had another such edit from the same user yesterday. I asked him
to review & he's reverted which I'm grateful for, but it can't
continue like this. OSM users/editors can't be expected to be a
validator's validator. <br>
<br>
I completely disagree that not adding a footpath makes the map
incorrect. Have you mapped every single physical object in your
area?<br>
<br>
To make the first edit even worse, a user from Iceland, presumably
using the Streetview image, has added grass, & other entities!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<div>IMHO the best way to avoid problems in that spot is to do
what other suggested: add the footpath between the 2 street
(thereby fixing the navigation for pedestrians) and/or adding
the small piece of landuse=grass + the tree.</div>
<div>I assume nobody will remove that just to fix a problem
reported by an QA-site. The site might not even report the
problem (as there is a footpath between the two and not an
empty space)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't know what is worse, a local mapper that does not
add the footpath between the two streets or a armchair mapper
that connects the two. The map is incorrect in both cases...</div>
<div>The best way to "document" why 2 streets are not connected
is by mapping the obstacle between them or the other type of
road between them. That should exclude the spot from detection
algorithms.</div>

I will make & reinforce my point of view vehemently,
especially when misuse of Google is implied, &
definitely when repeated amendments are to the detriment
of the database. <br>

<br>
Wrong. I was using Streetview to confirm to the
forum what I already knew - that the roads don't
join. I don't need Google as I went there &
did a proper visual survey, whereas your
employee just "thought" they "might" join. This
armchair guesswork is bad for the OSM database:
If you're unsure if an edit will improve the
quality of the map - please don't make it.<br>
<br>
I use the validation software you mention, but
only to correct data that I have first hand
knowledge of & never to amend something in
another time zone where I've never been. Even
when I do use them, I stop to think whether it
is an accurate error report & not blindly
fix it assuming it must be true.</blockquote>
