Re: [Talk-us] the Battle Grid
Sure, I'd be happy to help if I can. If someone on the OSM side intentionally diverges from TIGER, that is a good indication that TIGER ought to be fixed there, although I would think the license incompatibility would prevent directly incorporating the OSM changes. It seems like the Battle Grid and TIGER would both benefit from some sort of user interface for looking at TIGER data and declaring "no, I don't think this is right," so the Battle Grid would stop suggesting it as a change and the TIGER maintainers would get a notification that something seems to be wrong with their map.

After playing around with it this week, one of the interesting things I've noticed is that the original tiger data is bad as we all know, but some of the new tiger is bad too! Once a grid has been touched, if the tiger 2012 differs from our current edits, will it show up as needing correcting? Or do you ignore roads that have been touched recently? Thanks again for a great tool. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [Talk-us] the Battle Grid
I have been playing around with the tile size a little. Bigger tiles means you end up looking around for what to improve once you load all the data into JOSM. Also, bigger tiles means the results get flattened more - a big tile with a small subdivision that needs a lot of work may not be flagged very prominently. The smaller tiles have the disadvantage you mention. The grid will get refreshed every week or so, so even if you work in an adjacent tile and don't mark it done, it will disappear from the grid anyway. I ended up with this size as a trade off, I think it works well, so please take the leap :) On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 1:45 PM, Clifford Snow wrote: > Martijn, > For the upcoming #Editathon, we plan to fix road alignment in Washington > State.

Re: [Talk-us] the Battle Grid
How do I get involved in this Editathon? I would really like to participate.

Re: [Talk-us] the Battle Grid
I had the same concern. If I could somehow overlay the grid squares in iD, I'd be certain I was correcting all the alignments in the square and would be easier to mark the square 'done'. I'm also willing to take a flying leap. ;-) SEJ P.S. Great tool, BTW. I showed it to folks at Census Bureau where there was quite a bit of interest in MapRoulette as a model of how to do QC on TIGER data -- SEJ -- twitter: @geomantic -- skype: sejohnson8 There are two types of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data. On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 3:45 PM, Clifford Snow wrote: > Martijn, > For the upcoming #Editathon, we plan to fix road alignment in Washington > State.
