Some updates. Yestrday Nepal was Nr. 3 worldwide regarding mapped elements, today again Nr.1. So, please stay fighting, do mapping.
I wish to say thank you for two mappers they do nowadays a lot for Nepal: http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?piaco_dk
and http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?GeoFrizz
Very, very fast going up in the ranking list is user http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw%20Komorek
I assume, he will be in some days mapper nr 1 in ranking list.
In total leading is still our great friend Heinz_V.
For me personally, Nepal is since 26.08.2017 nr. 1 country regarding number of mapper elements. Nr. 2 is Poland nr. 3 Germany.
I have ‘noticed’ that Heinz_V , a waterway as stream, and a highway (there in Nepal) as residential tagged … wouldn’t it be better (there in Nepal) to tag (not all, but the most of those) as highway = 'unclassified, and waterway = ‘river’ ?
Dear friends, I would allow me th have an opinion in between:
Regardng waterways:
If there is such widely accepted regulation, so please try to adapt it in cases they are obvious.
This could be difficult without local knowledge but probably possible.
Generally tagging is, I assume, less relevant than the fact of collecting geometry. Retgging is esy done.
I´m confrontated with doubts regaring properly tagging every day I do mapping in Nepal.
Regarding residential streets. Due to the fact, that 90% of Nepal don´t have house numbers, we should, given that we are hearing what JOSM says, completely stom using of cathegory highway=residential. The programmers, they wrote JOSM never have been in Nepal or other similar countries, so I woul sty with mapping of cathegory residential when around are houses.
There is also an other important reon for using residential: Nepa dont´t have speed signs only seldom. Therefore is changing of street cathegory the only possible solution to give warning to the driver in navigation system.
Wow, our friend from Denmark piaco_dk is already de facto nr 2. in Nepal ranking list. (bdiscoe has his position because of lot deleted points, they are also “points” in the statistic).
Please be nr 1 piaco_dk.
Wow, our Pratichhya is now nr 2 in Nepal in total ranking list, probably in some days or weeks nr 1!
To do more mapping than Władysław Komorek is impossible to the most mapper. Respect.
She is also nr 463 in total maper ranking list worldwide: Being in first 500 is not easy.
In fact Pratixa is number one…because most of my edtions, filling empty areas, are created in half-automatic way.
Congratulations, big respect Pratichhya for your work
