Re: [HOT] Waterway mapping advice needed...

2015-04-04 Thread Pete Masters
Thanks for the responses guys.

I'll take a look and decide a course of action, which may include reworking
the task slightly. This is one of the first I did and I don't think I
realised the workload involved in such a large area.

Cheers

Pete

 Hi, Pete:

 One of the main tricks I use for a first glimpse of the water flow
 direction is zooming out the imagery. That way you will see the big
 rivers and where their water goes to.

 You can also check maps with hillshade layers, like the openmapsurfer:
 http://129.206.74.245

 Another tip is following the river you want to map correctly, as you
 eventually will see it getting narrower and narrower or getting wider
 and flowing into a bigger river.

 Cheers,

 Rafael.

[HOT] Waterway mapping advice needed...

2015-04-04 Thread Pete Masters
Hi all, I am doing some work on http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/836.

However, I am struggling to discern the direction of the waterways in this
square: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/836#task/283

Is there any advice, tips, etc out there on how to work this out? If there
is a good piece of advice or a resource to help with this, I will include
it in the task instructions...

I have not done much mapping of waterways before!

Thanks,

Pete

Re: [HOT] Waterway mapping advice needed...

2015-04-04 Thread Pierre Béland
Hi Pete
From JOSM WMS/TMS preferences, the OpenCyclemap layer is available. It 
provides elevation contour lines.
If you select this layer, it should help to see in which direction the 
waterways flow. But not always easy to interpret.
Looking at the secondary highway at the bottom of this task highway=330089042,  
it seems that this is at the top of a hill and that all waterways flow in 
opposite direction from this highway.
