Hi,
I don't know if it is the right forum topic. I have a new city
completely mapped, as deeper as some current paper maps I already
have. It's almost 90% done, waiting few moderations. I've placed
there, roads, rivers and main public institutions. Some roads has no
name or more than one name. Others has name for only one block long.
Also, satellite background has more than 3 years old.
As far as I've heard, making this map public may take some time to
until revised. Is there any queue to place a revision request?
Would you mind having few minutes to take a look and giving your
feedback? I'm new in this mapmaker matters. All your feedback would be
very appreciated.
Thanks
Gustavo

That all looks pretty good. :) Just this roundabout has two way traffic which seems impossible in reality. ;)

Nice work.

The Camino de tierra S/N and other roads cross the Arroyo El Tigre,
but I don't see bridges shown.

I generally try to capture the following when I know them, many of
which you show, and only some of which have designated features:
--emergency services
--police
--fire
--hospital
--urgent care clinic

--Traveler services
--gas/petrol (one shown)
--car repair
--motorcycle repair
--restaurant/cafe
--lodging (hotel/guesthouse/hostel)
--ATM/cash machine
--currency exchange
--grocery
--internet
--public toilet
--mobile phone shop (local SIM)

--Entertainment
--bar
--cinema
--bar
--dance club
--bar

--Civil/Community
--religious (church/temple)

--Tourist
--tourist sight
--scenic vista

--Infrastructure
--electric substation
--water treatment

Just some thoughts for supplementing your well done work.

Hi Rich, I'm very thank you. I'll work on that categories as soon as I
can.
About bridges, I have to review them in the main roads, any other
simply there aren't in the most of the cases, may some "badén" in
spanish (ford in english?). This because is rare to have water there,
except in the 2 rain months, and... with latest climate changes, rain
is going more and more strange :-(
Thanks again
Gustavo

For river fords, you change change the river section that is a ford to
show the use as a ford. Draw a short section for the river at the
ford and then change its attribute.

Rich, thanks!
But, what if the river is complete. May I split it in this place to
add the ford? Same for a road and a bridge.
thanks again

Yes, I believe you have to redo the river in smaller segments. It is
helpful to review the attributes of rivers to see how they might be
used in cases such as waterfalls, rapids, and fords.
