Why o why series..

Same crap, different day. Rather new addition this year. Seems nothing is learned from all our complains. !@#$ :confused:

Oh dear goodness. I’ve checked the Augmented OSM Change Viewer and cross-checked with Maxar Premium as well.

I thought that’s probably a new contract mapper, but no, not really.

It’s indirectly obvious on Maxar Premium too. It probably is merely a footpath, but for an unexplainable reason to mankind, why not let vehicles pass through it, although the difference in width is as clear as the day.

It seems Malaysia is being used as a training ground to many groups. Even Doctors without Borders would like to join in the party. Why? God knows.

The thing is, I had cleaned up this city multiple times already. This SSDD is wearing me out.

C’mon, the situation in Thailand is much worse.
What about a pond tagged as a building?
Just take a look at some threads in the Thai forum…
(Of course, I do not agree with such bad mapping practices.)
By the way, did you see that on the right side of the image, some compounds are tagged “Rumah” instead of “Perumahan”?
Well, some where in Indonesia, I saw houses with names like “Rumah Pak Ahmed”…

That I can understand since that’s what new mappers usually do and it causes minimal damage.

But for an organized mapping to do that is just puzzling - what sort of introductory training was there? Not to mention the scale of edits done by these folks.

I wish my back alley has a name too. Just because! :stuck_out_tongue:

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!

Waheyyyy flying cars!

Not necessary. If you follow the advice “kurangkan laju”, you should be able to cross the lawn also with a rather normal car.
By the way, did the mapper add a surface=grass tag?

that lawn thing is also kind of an issue where I found people using landuse=grass for these in Shah Alam area. Don’t see what’s appropriate to tag those areas. Heated endless talk on wiki about using landcover=grass.

  • not necessary. Just ignore them.
    There are some people who think they must map every single tree in a park. As an area, not as a node, of course.

landuse=grass overlapping landuse=residential (why?)… It reminds me some debate in Germany (I believe so, not the US, but surely an European country) from mid-2010s whether mapping private swimming pools built just next to houses is appropriate. I think mapping that lawn somehow joins this issue…

Speaking of overlapping landuses… the gigantic landuse=residential way encircling Kota Bharu (and somehow engulfs Kubang Kerian and any nearby areas) really grinds my gears. Retail areas? Military areas? Industrial areas? Golf courses? Governmental office complexes? Educational institutions? Why not overlap those with residential area…

That’s what happen when people try to ‘paint’ the map too much to make it look pretty. And also partly due to something else :wink: :smiley:

hmmm…

In 500 meters, the main road has been chopped to no less than 3 segments for that lane guidance thingy. This is what happens when you fail to grasp why that lane guidance things was initially intended for - motorways guidance so that you don’t miss the complex-close-together interchange while driving.

Technically it is true, but doesn’t mean you should do it because it would turn everything into a big, convoluted mess. Just like a T junction, you don’t have to put lane guidance to show that you can only turn left or right, it is just obvious to anybody who drives with a valid driving license.

I really don’t get why some (especially coming from Organised Mapping Teams) would rather insist this is a physical barrier (no it’s not). Cat and mouse chase again and again. Removed this, because it’s blatantly mapping for the renderer, but it will be reinstated in a few days’ time.

I don’t have problems with actual road dividers (picture is actually taken in Perak), but brazen claims purported with reference from KartaView/Mapillary, is another level.

Seriously, I’m not making things up.

Armchair mapping with aerial imagery. I am sure that I mixed up some lines on the ground with actual physical barriers in some places…

Well, I messed up real bad in some places many years ago, even supposedly coming from ground truth (note to self: extrapolation can get so wrong). But someone from the fruit team (and previously another paid mappers) made edits based on KartaView, insisted that’s the “correct way” of mapping it. I just, I can’t, ugh…

They are going bananas! :laughing:
