Re: [talk-au] more broken boundaries
It would be useful to have access to a layer showing boundaries sourced externally as they were when originally loaded. That way the current boundary state can always be compared with the original. However the below email is a bit cryptic for me. How are boundaries getting broken? One of the attached changesets indicates that the purpose was to separate administrative boundaries from roads, whereas recently I have been tagging administrative boundaries with keys for highways or waterways that follow the same course. Is there a consensus on the right way to go on this? --- On Fri, 5/3/10, John Smith deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com wrote: From: John Smith deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com Subject: [talk-au] more broken boundaries To: OSM Australian Talk List talk-au@openstreetmap.org Received: Friday, 5 March, 2010, 9:47 AM Anyone have any suggestions on how to approach people accidently breaking boundaries, or better yet thoughts on how to prevent them from being broken in the first place? http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3358719 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4007178 etc... ___ 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

It doesn't matter what specifically happens to the boundaries themselves, but it's rather easy to break the admin boundary relations either by merging admin segments, but I'm not sure what happened in the cases I've mentioned, although it appears segments were deleted from the boundary, not just splitting the ways as I had to re-add them. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Is there a consensus on the right way to go on this? I can't claim a consensus but I do not reuse the nodes of an admin boundary for a road. Roads do change at the whim of the local council as they realign corners etc. It also makes editing the roads difficult - and here it makes it hard for a new user to edit the road without breaking the admin boundary. I do reuse the nodes for waterways because they are far more accurate than anything I can achieve for a river off Landsat imagery, and I have no other means of mapping the waterways in western NSW. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] Trunk roads in central Australia
I may be wrong here, but it just seems wrong to me that these roads are marked as trunk: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-24.5503234863281lon=132.173767089844zoom=9 Except for the Stuart Highway, I'm guessing, but shouldn't they be primary or secondary? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
