[HOT] AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

[Filipe Santana Lopes]

Hey Jonathan,

Some more information you have on the wiki page of openstreetmap:

How to tag highways (roads, paths, etc):
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway

How to tag waterways:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway

How to tag buldings:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building

Give only information in, of you are certain about.

When you are saving the information, tell what you have done, and what is
still missing mapping in that field.

Best regards,
Filipe Santana Lopes
