Was mich jetzt besonders interessieren würde: An wie vielen Stellen ist das maxspeed=XY falsch und an wie vielen Stellen ist andersherum highway=living_street falsch und es müsste eigentlich highway=residential heißen (oder bei dem 100km/h-Fall vielleicht auch highway=primary ;) )? Das wiederum kann man natürlich nicht durch bloße Tag-Überprüfung herausfinden… Ich hab sowas bei uns in Hamburg noch nicht gemapped und bin deshalb höchstens an anderen Dingen schuld, aber schauen tue ich trotzdem mal.

Wow, was für eine schöne Landschaft… äh… was für eine schöne Kartografie einer vermutlich schönen Landschaft. :)

It’s true that “subway” for a mass transit system running more than 90% above ground is confusing. So I agree to Alan Trick. So, we don’t have to see “subway” as an underground system in OSM.

Rail transit basically has four hierarchical levels: heavy rail for long distance, regional, and suburban rail services running on “normal” rail infrastructure (railway=rail), segregated rapid transit underground or above ground (railway=subway), light rail for modern tram systems or a mix between subway and tramway, e.g. U-Stadtbahn systems in Germany, prémétro in Belgium or many systems in Northern America (railway=light_rail), and real tramways resp. streetcars, not segregated from road traffic and often even running on the same lanes as road traffic (railway=tram).

SkyTrain clearly belongs to the “subway” category.

It is an important issue within OSM, though. In Hamburg (Germany) for example, I still do not agree that our suburban rail network is mapped as rail=light_rail (same in Berlin). Technically, it is heavy rail, even though almost the whole network is powered by third rail instead of overhead wire. In some parts it even uses the same tracks as regional and freight rail. Well, the community decided that it has to be light_rail, although I changed all the network to railway=rail once.

coastline already rendered correctly now

Thanks, Zverik. I will do so next time.

@BCNorwich: Thanks for reverting the first one. And yes: #37448380 has many objects and has to be deleted as well. Otherwise a strange fictional town will appear in the forests between Moscow and Yaroslavl, as can already be seen here:

This is where it was supposed to go, btw: Brenta, Nordland, Republik Kalm (Opengeofiction) (still waiting for a new coastline rendering as of Feb 26, 8:40 AM CET)

Kind regards joschi81

Geschafft! Keitum ist mit Gebäuden und Adressen sowie vielen Straßendetails komplett, jedenfalls so komplett und aktuell, wie die Grundlagen von Bing und weitere Quellen für die Hausnummern.

Aber viele andere Ortsteile auf Sylt warten noch auf Vervollständigung auf diesem Niveau…
