Re: [talk-au] Charleville gone
So much effort gone down the drain. In my own case I've discovered that even though I'd mapped the entire length of the Waterfall Way from Armidale to Coffs Harbour long ago, somebody at some time has edited pieces and now, because they've not ticked the box, those edits appears as gaps along the route. e.g.: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-30.4815lon=152.9683zoom=14layers=M So I can't even assume that anything that I contributed and thus thought might be complete, is complete.

Assuming you didn't throw your data away (in any case your changesets can still be consulted) it is simply a matter of tracing the road geometry from bing (seems to be ok there) and adding your stuff back in.

So sad :-( weeks of my OpenStreetMap edits - from this: http://mapq.st/Mu0w1S to this: http://osm.org/go/uW6~q6RW-- I surveyed Charleville and had a blast doing it, but I added to imported road reservation data instead of deleted and re-entered. To think that if the importer had ticked a single check box it would have saved the work. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Re: [talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging
Hi Ben, I use Trails though no direct OSM upload (which suits me): http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/trails-gps-tracker/id289190494?mt=8 iLOE (iPhone Little OpenStreetMap Editor) is a useful little utility too: http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/iloe-openstreetmap-editor/id333224774?mt=8 Gordon -- Gordon Smith http://las.new-england.net.au/ http://theLatestOldNews.wordpress.com/ http://blog.macalba.net/ On 24/04/2011, at 8:30 AM, Ben Kelley wrote: Hi. Does anyone have any recommendations for an iPhone app that can record track logs easily? (with a view to uploading them to OSM) I'm looking for something to recommend to people who might be able to collect data in unmapped areas. Being able to display a map is not so important, as this will be mostly in areas that are not mapped, although being able to display the map as it takes shape might be good. Something like OSMTrack looks like it will do the job. http://www.osm4iphone.com/ Has anyone used this? Is there something else that is better? As this may be in out-of-the-way places, the ability to work without an internet connection would be good. - Ben Kelley. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Oodnadatta Track
Hi Russell, Yes, the track itself has been done. The southern half, Marree to the Coober Pedy turnoff had been done a little while ago; I finished the northern half in June. It's the road to the west of Lake Eyre: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-28.31lon=136.21zoom=8layers=0B00FTF There are plenty other roads nearby though; I planned to do the Painted Desert road, for exmaple, but ran out of time. The track to the east of Lake Eyre is the Birdsville Track, then east again is the Strzelecki Track. There's no NextG access (though when I did the Strzelecki Track I was surprised to find that NextG is now available at Moomba). Happy travelling.

I will be driving along this in September, and visiting a few of the national parks. I can get access to an etrex legend GPS. I'll be taking a Windows netbook with me. Is there someone who wants to work with me, to take the GPS traces and upload them? Depending on internet access (Telstra NextG), I might be able to upload some information while still in the field.

[talk-au] Validator in JOSM - extra picky?
OK, so I admit that I might hide under a rock now and again and not know the latest and greatest gossip about every plugin that JOSM might use; hence this (perhaps tirvial) question. Once upon a time the Validator plugin for JOSM would let me know when I'd made silly typos, or hadn't tagged something appropriately, or had crossing ways, etc. And all was well in the world of maping. Now, when I use the current version of Validator, in conjunction with josm-latest, I'm told that pretty much every tag I've ever used in the past doesn't exist in the presets. It doesn't like the name key (even when the preset lets me type a name in), it doesn't like source=survey, it doesn't like type in relations, ..., and on and on. It's got to the point where I can't see the real errors because of the volume of warnings that now appear. Neither the wiki nor Google have helped me track down why these informational errors are now being spat back at me. So, dear list members, what pronouncement have I missed? What has been updated or changed that I don't yet know about?

[talk-au] Mapping bushwalks
