I am relatively new to OSM, and I've been busy adding tons of info to my neighborhood (which is sorely lacking). Sometimes, however, I'm not sure if I'm being a bit too detailed and wasting my time as well as cluttering the map. For an example, see http://osm.org/go/ZDP4UVfqG . The pool at that link has every sidewalk, water fountain, gate, and even the steps mapped. Is this really necessary? Should I just simplify it by only adding the pool and maybe a fence and then move on to editing on a larger scale? I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing; so far, I've gone with "more detailed is better." |

There are two circumstances where I'd consider that it's possible to put too much information in OpenStreetMap:
Other than that, knock yourself out. It sounds like you've mapped stuff that won't change much, so you should be fine. |
IMHO there's nothing wrong with more, if not used now it's there for any future use. BTW your link doesn't work for me. Regard
I agree with BCN. Different data could be useful to somebody or some study which may not be apparent now. Map creators (or render styles) can choose what is shown on their map.
@BCNorwich: now the link works. There was just the "." included in it.
You could consider details of the building as well, level, material be your own guide and enjoy mapping. Theres a lot to do.
