Moving a business' location in OSM?
  • @nokturne213 You can right click the building and "extract" the shop from the building. You should probably move the address information back onto the building, though.

  • Moving a business' location in OSM?
  • @nokturne213 To move a node, one need only drag can drop it, or press M to move it. It will not move if you only change the address tags. But if it moved quite far, you may want to retag the original node with whatever it has there now (or as a vacant shop if it is vacant,) and then make a new node at its new location.

  • Sanity check on kerb and lit tags
  • @psycotica0 concrete:plates are pre-formed chunks that can be moved into place. concrete is poured in-place, and is the correct value for sidewalks. I have never seen any actual concrete:plates in use in real life, but SC users are tagging it all the time. They should honestly make the difference more clear in the app.

    As for lit tags, I turned those off because I didn't want to overthink it.

    Only use flush if the transition would not be apparent to a blind person. Less than 3cm of curb. If a cane would catch the curb, it should be tagged as lowered.

    StreetComplete's "curb ramp" option gives the curb the lowered tag, making it the same as if you picked the "a bit higher than road surface" option.
