[OSM-talk-be] What could you map ? / Wat kan je mappen ?

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Hi,

Checking on the map, learns me that most items are already thoroughly 
mapped (street cabinets, bins, advertising, lanes, crossings,...)
Things lacking, but not derivable from the photo are the division of 
buildings and the corresponding addresses of the buildings.
IMO addresses are of more importance then the little street furniture 
and should get more priority in mapping.
Not meaning, that I don't appreciate these mappings, every added object 
counts!

When you have lot of time, you could also map the separated footwalk and 
bicycle paths, but this is advanced stuff, and I don't recommend it, as 
it is not so easy to make a correct separation and have all options for 
connections and resulting in no foot etc on the main highway itself, so 
that routing programs for bike and foot will always select the correct 
paths. If not done well, it makes more clutter then making things real 
or clear.
It seems these paths are already good and sufficient tagged in the map.

So, in short, at first sight, not much extra to map from the photo.
(I assume the sign to TIA is simply a direction and not part of a 
(tourist) route, which would imply a missing relation for some bicycle 
route/network)

Regards,
Gerard.
