Re: [Talk-ca] Callsigns...
Well the first challenge would be putting multiple tags on the same way. Personally I would create multiple relations using the same way, each relation having one call-sign. I have heard other people suggest separating values with commas but I don't like that idea because if for example you want to put the frequency and the name, if the values are separated by commas there is no way to match the frequency to the specific name. A relation would allow you to do this. (Obviously this is my own opinion up for argument) In terms of a tagging scheme http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:frequency for the frequency name:xxx for the name of the station http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Operator for the operator Might have to propose some tags for the others On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 8:28 PM, Colin McGregor colin.mc...@gmail.comwrote: For various reasons I've taken an interest in the locations of TV (and to a lesser degree radio) station transmitter sites (the studios often being a number of km. from the transmitter location(s)).

Re: [Talk-ca] New Bing imagery in Montreal
You are lucky then. Just the other day Saint John area got updated with stuff from late 2012. its great that they are getting around to updating it but the imagery is more oblique than vertical making it very difficult to trace. As well they are really low quality compared to their predecessors. The new ones are faded out where the old ones were sharp and colourful. These look like an instagrammer got at them!

Re: [Talk-ca] Sidewalks
My personal preference is to enable the JOSM sidewalk style and then use the sidewalk:right sidewalk:left, sidewalk:both, or sidewalk:none tags on the actual street. The footpaths are just about useless (as in the example above) as they are not related to the street in anyway. So the routing engine couldn't say turn left onto Maple Street. It could only say turn left. If the tags are on the actual street and not separately mapped, it is much easier for a routing engine. http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles/Sidewalks Cheers, ingalls On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 10:18 PM, Harald Kliems kli...@gmail.com wrote: Personally I don't map sidewalks like that but I respect local mappers' work and would not change this, as it isn't really wrong.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset
Hello! Yes I'm going to be moving to fredericton for university in a short time so I thought it would be nice to get building polygons so I can easily add addresses from foot surveys. Is the data that SNB (You and your co-workers) provide available for use with OSM? As in is it possible to trace off the aerial imagery? I've often lamented the fact that the GeoNB viewer has excellent aerial imagery for much of the province while bing imagery is terrible outside major cities. If it is avaliable is it possible to get it as a WMS layer for JOSM? I've looked into the ArcGIS rest APIs but they don't seem very friendly with JOSM. In reference to the orientation problems, I generally orient according to gps tracks and I also use the road centre lines from the fredericton open data portal to ensure areas are correct.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset
What is the official word on the practice of checking non-approved data sources, not for inclusion in OSM, but to ensure what is being included is correct? That is honestly a good question! I guess to me this would be a bit of a grey area, nowhere is the practice explicitly mentioned. I agree with you on the google example, that would certainly be crossing the line. I hadn't considered this a violation as before I used the data to align the Bing imagery I checked the license for the data. Aligning imagery certainly fit within the license. This is actually the first time I have done this and I thought of it more as a separate process than adding data to OSM. At no point was the fredericton data and the osm data loaded at the same time, and no offset data was derived from the fredericton data. It was simply used to see if the bing offset was correct. It was not used to create a new offset in order to draw osm data. I have to believe that that the process I used would be correct or else sites like geofabrik compare would be in violation of the license. If I had used the fredericton data to create a new offset I could see there being a problem but this was not the case, the fredericton data was simply used to verify the bing imagery. tl;dr No offset was derived from the Fredericton data, it was simply used to check the Bing imagery.

[Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset
Hello all, I've been recently drawing all of the buildings in Fredericton in preparation for going around and collecting the addresses. I'd noticed that all the buildings in Fredericton were offset. Naturally I assumed that the original mappers in Fredericton had done this offset on purpose. I recently tested this against GPS traces and found that the offset was incorrect based on the traces I collected. I'm now assuming that this data was traced from the old Yahoo imagery and current users continue to offset the Bing WMS to match the data traced from the Yahoo imagery. I am proposing that we shift the data back to match the Bing WMS and the gps traces. Does anyone else from the Fredericton area have any comments, or can explain the offset?

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] MassGIS Building Import Start
In regards to this and previous imports, I have found that this is by no means the law when it comes to imports. In Canada we have / and still are in the lengthy process of importing canvec data for the whole country. We do this in a distributed approach. Each user can upload the data with their own account. This is MUCH better in many cases as it encourages people to upload the canvec data in their own area instead of a user sitting hundreds of miles away uploading with a generic account. It also allows people to be held responsible (in a good way) for their data. With a generic account being used by multiple people mistakes are harder to track to the source. By using individual accounts problems can be more easily tracked. Ie a user is not fixing validator issues before uploading causing problems. With a single user account tracking down the specific uploader is near impossible. Just my two cents. tl;dr Using individual accounts is better as it promotes uploading data in ones area. cheers, ingalls On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 10:56 PM, Jeff Meyer j...@gwhat.org wrote: Paul - can you elaborate on the point about users being blocked if not using a dedicated account?

Re: [Talk-ca] Talk-ca Digest, Vol 55, Issue 2
Hey Guys, I'm currently working on addresses in the saint john area, as I am finishing up my tracing of all the buildings in the area. I was just wondering what your guys opinion was for including house numbers. Would you attach them to the building or do what denmark does and have them as a separate node? As well should I also include interpolation ways? This might be overkill having both but at the same time this would allow routing software to find an address that I don't have connected to a house. (i.e in a year a new house is built and hasn't been added to osm, with interpolation a routing engine could still locate it) Look forward to your feedback.
