And no, I'm not telling where it is :) Hate to point out the obvious, but it's a split path, bikes are allowed on one side and pedestrians on the other. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] greenery between roads etc
Hi, What are people doing for the green areas that are between 'other things', e.g in the middle of large roundabouts, between didvided roads with significant space. I can see this as a two part thing - mapping the geography and mapping it's socially defined status. In the geography category the one I'm not clear on is those areas that are grassed with a proportion of trees - and no idea on the second issue cheers -- Franc ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I interpret this combination as "cyclists use caution and don't hit anyone". I tagged it as "bicycle=yes".

But the route (or at least some of it) appears to be there, and the GPS seems happy to navigate by it. It'll be a few days before I get back to Yass to realistically test the behaviour. This is my first foray into using the route function on my Garmin 76CSx handheld. My car GPS (Garmin Nuvi 1350) doesn't support routes. Thanks again for your help - we've advanced my knowledge of how routing works. But my understanding is still primitive. I need to do a lot more research, experimentation and thinking. I'll get back when I've got some definitive answers. John H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Custom highway shields
While it might seem things have gone quiet on this front, there has actually been some movement forward. Firstly I figured out how easy inkscape is to make custom shields of a tourist route which uses icons instead of numbers. All I had to do was simply take a reasonably photo of the sign, and then using the tracing function in inkscape I got this out: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Shield_australia_tourist_dugong.svg This sign is used for both the Northern and Southern Moreton Bay Tourist Drives around Brisbane. I also managed to make one of the wagon wheel tourist sign near Gatton in Qld: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Shield_australia_tourist_wheel.svg I've also spent a fair bit of time on how to efficiently turn the lookup table on the wiki page into something useful code wise so these custom shields start to render, and for more than just Australia as Hawke has been collecting and putting up SVG images of US highway shields on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Custom_Highway_Shields#United_States_of_America So far we think we know what needs to be done, it's just a case of publishing a working proof of concept and from there tweaking it to be as efficient as possible. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
