[talk-au] List of route=road relations
I did a quick SQL query to find what named route=road relations exist, in the interest of saving people from duplicating things: named routes: http://maps.bigtincan.com/tagwatch/road-relations.php ref routes: http://maps.bigtincan.com/tagwatch/ref-relations.php If a route has a ref and a name it will appear on both pages. You can load the relation straight into potlatch/JOSM from the page. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] I've been trying to fix the highway shields and came across this....
I finally figured out that when it's type=route, osm2pgsql changes the field name to route_name so I've updated the database and configs to show route_name. In the example below, the ways are tagged with local street names, but the highway has no name or ref, but instead the highway name and ref is pulled from the relation information. http://maps.bigtincan.com/?zoom=15lat=-29.78160122412lon=151.16912834144 Also I've set the config to render relation names after local street names so that way highways don't clobber local names. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Question about route numbers

For an example, the Mid Western Highway between Bathurst and Cowra is currently NH24, but some signs have shown A41 (now coverplated over by NH24). Should I use the new A41 or the current NH24? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.4299lon=149.5466zoom=13 For another example, when in Dubbo last weekend on the Mitchell Highway, I spotted A32 on one intersection only, all the others still showing NH32. I did mark those as ref= and old_ref= for example at christmas the signs at Cowra said A41 of course further west the signs are not coverplated but the Mid Western is then B64 so further west the system is coming in by stealth or sheer laziness on the part of the workers which seems appropriate somehow ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I think they should be as independent as possible otherwise it could be very detrimental with inter and intra infighting spilling over to local chapters, and vice versa.

[talk-au] Mapping on a phone
Hi, My phone is on it's last legs and I'll need a new one soon. Does anybody have a phone that does a good job for mapping. It would be nice to add POIs as I notice them. I don't really need something for the full mapping experience as I have a full setup in the car for that cheers -- Franc ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Opening a discussion on OSM Mapping and Online Hazard reporting
Not sure if this is what others had in mind, but rather than just focus on cycling, I think a general council bugs reporting system would be useful to complain about other things like pot holes :) I've downloaded/used the OpenStreetBugs code to produce the Council Bug Report: http://bugs.bigtincan.com/ I was thinking today that this might be a foot in the door for talking to council/state roads depts about potential partnerships maps wise. In this instance we could be given an email address and a boundary and then when a bug is reported an email could be sent to the relevant council about it. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
