Excellent. I really missed good maps while traveling in Israel.
Especially bus routes on real map would have been handy.
Bus routes would be awesome and think/hope that we'll have them in OSM for
DC by next summer, and in some useful formats for attendees.
Is it just me or why aren't sidewalks on the map?
We usually work in stages:
1) add the basics, like roads
2) then shops, buildings, etc.
3) further details like sidewalks
4) even more details like, sidewalk curb cuts and tactile paving, for
accessibility / pedestrian routing
5) when the map is mostly complete (e.g. Germany), add details like
individual trees :)
Haifa is somewhere between stage 1-2; Washington DC is at stage 2-3
Also, in cities, sidewalks are often assumed to be there, sometimes tagged
as an attribute of the road (sidewalk=left/right/both) instead of as
separate ways.
We've also
uncovered a bunch of RTL bugs in OSM, and could use help to
address them.
In the website or the map renderers or in the editors?
All of above... though we've fixed the most critical website bugs. As I
have time, I can try to document them better in one place.
Cheers,
Katie
