Hi Anthony,

 

There are multiple tools out there for finding 'errors' in OSM data and many
people use them to keep the OSM data up to date. You might also like to
share the OSM software that you are using on your vehicle GPS as it may turn
out that it doesn't handle relations or routing of some situations.

 

Cheers - Phil

The biggest issue I have with this account is that they don't find routing
errors on their own, this person stalks other peoples edits and "correcs"
them using knowledge as their source, I find these routing errors 100%
myself in real world situations, I have been editing and using OSM on my car
gps for many years, this user edits other users edits based on no knowledge
of the intersection at all, having a user like this should put anyone off
making any routing edits when this person randomly edits 10 different
intersections in 10 minutes and says they have knowledge.

Hi Anthony (slice0),

 

Can I suggest the best way to get some resolution is to actually spell out
in a changeset comment why you think the change made by Swavu is incorrect.
That way everyone gets to learn from 'conflicts'. I also suggest you
restrain your language or you may also face the wrath of the DWG.

 

PS Swavu is not a bot.

 

Cheers - Phil (tastrax)

User TheSwavu

This account is either a bot account or someone that thinks they know more
than they actually do, every single time anybody does a routing correction
this account comes along and "fixes" it based on "knowledge" from the notes,
let me just say I looked over some of the edit this account does and it
breaks the routing for the most part, Changeset: 120344373 | OpenStreetMap
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120344373>  and Changeset:
120198383 | OpenStreetMap
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120198383#map=17/-34.76452/138.5930
1>  are two examples of this account breaking routing, ive been wasting my
time spending hours and hours fixing routing just for this shitty bot to
come along and fuck it all up over and over again, I would like to ask DWG
to take a real close look at this account and see if it can be banned from
any further edits under the bot edit policy or straight out vandalism!
