Re: [talk-au] Fwd: Community Notification- Services Relocation
When I read the flier my first reaction was cool, that looks like a Mapnik rendering. This is in the context of previous fliers variously using Google Maps or Whereis renders to provide the context. Who knows what licencing arrangements BrisConnections has with those providers. Perhaps the NearMap commerical arrangement implies that attribution doesn't need to be carried over. Everyone's allowed to make the same mistake once. I agree with John, let's be gentle with them, at least the first time. Another opportunity for BrisConnections is for us to encourage editing the basemap so that it can provide up to date road configurations. After all, the roads get shifted around every few weeks. It would a good case study.

It might have been better to contact them privately about this before resorting to making a fuss publicly, I'm not sure of Nearmap's take on it but it'd great if more people used OSM data for this and we could even help them to some extent by marking it as a construction zone, or the dates it will be, yes we'd like the recognition of our hard work, but we don't want to embarsses people into a corner so in future so they go off and use gmaps imagery instead. ___ 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

Yes, in some countries they are called yield signs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_sign According to http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/*%5Bhighway=yield%5D http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/*%5Bhighway=giveway%5D http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/*%5Bhighway=give_way%5D the OSM database contains 98 instances of highway=yield (9 distinct users) 25 instances of highway=giveway (2 distinct users) 13 instances of highway=give_way (3 distinct users) My personal preference would have been to use give_way, since it follows the tradition of using British English as the source of tag names, but the majority of mappers so far have chosen yield.

I've already shifted giveway to give_way and wrote a wiki page, since there was none for yield and and doesn't help when I did a search of yield in xapi I came up with nothing because I switched the i and e around... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dgive_way I wouldn't consider ~100 sign indicative of much, other than a lacking of presets, I could easily bump highway=give_way up by marking every intersection in the suburb, which is why I brought this thread up in the first place... :) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
