If you don’t want to delete it you can tag it as highway=proposed proposed=motorway http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dproposed if this is a planned highway.

If it’s only a fantasy highway you should delete it.

A quick look into the Wiki is sometimes very helpful, for example: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only

Small country with many platter lifts ;D Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

should be fixed.

It’s a bug in iD, I’ve reported it.

Is access=public an valid value? I couldn’t find it here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access#Values

Wouldn’t access=yes fit better? Definition: “The public has an official, legally-enshrined right of access, i.e. it’s a right of way”

There’s an Wikipedia article on this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disputed_status_of_Gibraltar#Territorial_waters

This case should be discussed between the spanish and UK mappers.

The OSMF has released an document about how to handle disputed territories: http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf The “on the ground rule” should be used in such cases.

One example: Mauritius claims sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago (which is currently controlled by the UK) –> in OSM these islands are mapped as UK territory.

UNCLOS isn’t right here. Each country could submit its point of view to the UN. There is no agreement between Spain and the UK and therefore the area is disputed. The UN doesn’t recognise any boundaries. Some submissions to the UN are very controversial, for example the official boundary of the Philippines. The submissions of Spain and UK could be found here: http://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/europe.htm

If the claim of Spain is justified or not we couldn’t say. This is what a court has to clarify or the two countries make an agreement.

Welcome! :)

Das Beispiel mit der 12-Meilen-Zone finde ich schlecht gewählt. Zum einen gibt es “gerade Basislinien” an Flussmündungen, Buchten usw. und die “archipelagic baselines”, die die 12-Meilen-Zone verändern. Dann gibt es Vereinbarungen zwischen Staaten, die die 12-Meilen-Zone beeinflussen und es gibt Staaten die weniger oder mehr als 12 Meilen beanspruchen. Dann gibt es z.B. auch noch die umstrittene Seegrenze der Philippinen die komplett auf Koordinaten beruht. Um das Einzeichnen der 12-Meilen-Grenze kommt man also nicht drumrum, es gibt einfach zu viele Faktoren die diese beeinflussen und diese Faktoren sind auch nicht immer (so einfach) berechenbar.

Hi,

as you mentioned the airport was already there: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96053161 Please do not add objects several times (redundant).

The standard map style doesn’t show airport names on high zoom levels. But there are other styles who do, for example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/7.1269/-73.1807&layers=Q
