Re: [OSM-talk] Find missing roads

2015-10-05 Thread Martijn van Exel
Andrew — We tried to strike a balance between giving enough hints so that mappers could figure out where roads are missing, and avoiding showing too many false positives. This resulted in the sometimes ‘patchy’ coverage you are seeing. We may be able to improve that a bit, but having a lot of

Thanks, Greg, for your suggestions. I commented on most of them in the feedback forum (http://bit.ly/missing-roads-feedback) where you posted them as well, and I will follow up with the team to see what we can do about some if not all of them. I hope the manual I published on Friday (http://bit

Hi Rafael, Ya, that is interesting Rafael. For sure if there is no border control facility, staffed or unstaffed, I wouldn't map anything there if there is nothing related to that. I was mostly thinking of the place where a facility or structure exists still, staffed or unstaffed, the contro

Hi, Blake: I agree that border controls in the areas affected by the ongoing refugee crisis that were disused until recently but are active again, should be tagged accordingly. What I mean is that in other areas like Spain with Portugal, those borders aren't staffed at all, any time. I live just

My experience is that the border control points still exist, they are just not always staffed. Traffic still has to pass through them, just there may or may not be anyone in the booths. That is why I don't think it is wrong to mark them as barrier=border_control points, they still are bord

Hi, Blake: Just a question. Many countries in Europe are part of the Schengen agreement, so there is no passport nor id control of any kind at borders. That's why you don't find almost any border control nodes between Spain and Portugal or France, for example. And those that are mapped should be

Hi all, OSM could really use more barrier=border_control nodes mapped in Europe both western and eastern. Some countries are pretty good, but some are really missing most if not all of their border crossing points mapped. I am not sure this is something that is really good for armchair mapper

The error just means that you have no SW/plugin or whatever installed that understand geo URIs (they are used a lot on mobile devices). In other words if you don't need them to work, you can safely ignore the issue. Simon Am 05.10.2015 um 13:23 schrieb Dave F.: > Hi > > Map main page. Under the

The Geo URI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme Obviously on the OSM share menu it's the same lat / long / zoom as you see in the browser address bar. Clicking on it would launch an application that's registered to handle Geo URIs. The error you're getting is generated by your browser -

Hi Map main page. Under the Share button there's a 'Geo URI' Unsure what it's meant to achieve but it returns a 'The address wasn't understood' error. Is this simple to fix? Dave F. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___
