[talk-au] Hello!
Hi all, I've just gotten into OSM now with the discovery of nearmap - wow, it's great. This obviously isn't a very high traffic list, but thought I'd say hi anyway, from St Kilda, Melbourne. Couple of quick questions: 1) Is there anywhere to see which suburbs of Melbourne are totally unmapped, but covered by nearmap? 2) What's the latest consensus on how to tag bits of grass in cities that aren't really parks? I've come across a couple of pages on the wiki (Talk:Proposed features/Misc. urban open space, Proposed features/Green space) but nothing very definitive. There are lots of places along the foreshore here with sizeable areas of grass that don't seem like parks as such, and plenty of reserves...what does everyone do?

You basically load up JOSM and look for blank areas or roads that are greyed out which are highway=road 2) What's the latest consensus on how to tag bits of grass in cities that aren't really parks?

You basically load up JOSM and look for blank areas or roads that are greyed out which are highway=road Could not have put it better myself. Don't forget to make sure the nearmap images are georeferenced. Generally it's not needed but its always a good idea to cross check with some know surveyed point. 2) What's the latest consensus on how to tag bits of grass in cities that aren't really parks?

From mapfeatures page: landuse=meadow Maybe they should be just landuse=park anyway. -- Cheers Ross ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] M5-M7 routing issue fixed
When I became aware the NearMap images were available for the M5-M7 interchanged I did a tune up of this interchange. (yahoo images pre-date the completion of the M7). I found a wrong over-under, but more importantly, one of the motorway links had a break and a wrong way section. I have fixed these issues so routing should now work better through this interchange.
