[OSM-talk] Check my junctions - looking for someone to review my plates of spaghetti -- responding to feedback
(my e-mail provider does not support threading) I've had both positive and negative reactions to the examples I've put up. The reason it appears that I've used turn restrictions to indicate lane direction-of-travel is that .. as far as I have determined .. painted turn indications on roadways in Delaware are legally binding and are as valid as stop signs or traffic lights as far as traffic law enforcement goes. Therefore, I'm using turn restrictions to indicate key:access type of information, not just for the sake of mapping detail. Could people consider this (adding information to the junction to support legally binding pavement markings) as seasoning on the plates of spaghetti and provide some additional feedback? Thanks. --user ceyockey ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Satellite for OSM (balloon-based aerial photography)
I briefly looked at the slide pack that was referenced in this thread ... this looks like a perfect high school science project (from a United States perspective). It would be awesome if we could introduce this as an annual school science project with the aim to photograph one area that has undergone construction (to completion) in the past year. I know a couple of people who engage in high school liaisons through corporate connections and this seems a perfect thing to propose through that line of communication. Cheers. -- openstreetmap login = ceyockey ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] OpenStreetView - documentation?
I've signed up at the OpenStreetView site, but it does not appear that there is significant documentation available, nor a method for discussion. Could someone say something to this? Perhaps this is coming in the future - it would be helpful to known this. --openstreetmap login = ceyockey ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Field boundaries
I've been thinking a bit about this from a very different perspective - that of parks and other open public areas where you might not have a chance to walk the perimeter ... for instance, you've a dog who really doesn't want that boring walk around the edge, but bobs and weaves all about the space and this might be one of only a couple of potential visits you might be able to make to the site. I think that an accumulation of unordered points over time either by one person or multiple people who capture GPS information _incidentally_ would be useful in defining the core of the public (or private, in the case of tractors on farmland) space. There's no need to gather tracks, merely points. Let the accumulation of points define the space. This is something of a corollary to the notion of "wisdom of the crowd" and it can be seen in action in the United States on major thoroughfares, such as the interstate highways, where the accumulation of multiple tracks over time can be used to define a way. user id on openstreemap = ceyockey ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap cheat mug now available
In response to the notion that someone could make their own rather than purchase from kc-shop... A better solution would be to enter into a re-distribution agreement. In other words, become a re-distributer of the product in a geographical area where shipping costs are not favorable. It wouldn't be unreasonable for kc-shop to provide a deal on shipment of bulk quantities to a re-distributer as part of the parternship agreement. --Courtlan ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
