hey there…i had been trying to find a osm malaysia community forum.
Is there any guide on how to set highway type in malaysia? I not sure how to differentiate secondary and tertiary.Is kampung road consider 2nd or 3rd??
I know nyem http://forum.openstreetmap.org/profile.php?id=654 who is doing mapping in malaysia too.
Hi feiming
You may (or may not!) remember me from mfm forum. I’m quite new here too (about 3 months) and have been mapping Sungai Petani and Seberang Perai area. Glad to see you here!
You can look here for what nyem has defined for road classification
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Malaysian_Roads_Tagging
The classification is not complete, but at least there is some thing to start you off.
For kampung roads, there isn’t any classification that resembles it. For me, I use highway = living_street. The reason - it has lesser routing priority compared to highway = residential and when Mapnik renders the roads, they are shown in light grey (visually and intuitively conveys the meaning of low priority roads).
Good to have you here too.However,i believe living_street are not available in potlatch
ARUNA_Paul is leaving a lot useless POI node point on road at 3.1649927 / 101.61295. How to report on a user?
Any tag you like is available in Potlatch. Select the way. If it already has a highway tag, then edit it to say living_street. If it doesn’t already have a highway tag, click the + sign in the bottom right, then enter highway as the key and living_street as the value. But do check first that the road matches the description on the wiki for living streets:

oh…no wonder there’s so many weird POI around
Guys,Genting Court Condo at 3.1964713/101.7112
what should i put for Amenity and Place?
Feel free to delete them. Just be careful and make sure they’re entirely untagged.
Any OSM routable Garmin Map for Malaysia?It would be easier to know which area are not mapped yet.
any easier way to select them?
You can use JOSM’s validator plugin.
thanks…
Hi, is there any tracklogs donator for Sandakan,Sabah area?
you can trace it using bing. But you need to tag source=Bing. (This is OSM policy) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing#OpenStreetMap_on_the_Bing_Maps_platform
