If you have permission could you please change the traces from Public to Identifiable. This will make them easier to work with as you can tell them apart see what points belong to what tracks, not just get a point cloud. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Vanuatu
Hi all, I received some GPS traces from someone in Vanuatu. He had had them for some time, but didn't have the opportunity to slice them up and upload them. I took the data and used gpsbabel to split the entire GPS log into daily chunks which coincided with manageable trip segments. I checked the tracks in JOSM to make sure they were not duplicates of existing information, then uploaded them. My intention was to assist in mapping Vanuatu by tracing the GPS tracks and uploading new ways as highway=road for others with local knowledge to fix. Unfortunately I have had very little time to do this, but more to the point, I felt a little uncomfortable when I added some roads, since I am not local, and I don't know the terrain at all. The point of this message is to announce that I *have* uploaded the GPS traces, and to ask/encourage people who are familir with Vanuatu to look at them and use them to map more roads. Best wishes, Andrew ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
