[talk-au] Nearmap badly out of date
Ross - fixed Liz O'Neill Street... Thanks for fixing that Ross, One tiny point though, the grassed over area is just the westbound section. The bit from the corner to where my tracks end could more accurately be tagged highway=residential access=no Also, could you fix my naming error for me please? THe proper name is Liz O'Neill Street not Liz O'Niell Street. I have surveyed all the street signs (front and back) and even though one of them (intersection with Plimsoll Drive, I think) has it as "Liz ONeill Street, the majority have what I believe to be correct which is with the apostrophe. If the ACT government haven't fixed this soon (plus the other new error in Casey and a couple of bad ones in Bonner) I will let them know the details. Last year, after having driven all the roads in Canberra, and noting down all the street signs, I notified them of about a dozen incorrect street signs and they had had them all fixed within two months (they are really on the ball!)

There were two concepts of what source=unmentioned was. one was Yahoo, and the other was GPS trace. The only way forward was to encourage all mappers to state the source. Merkaartor does this automatically if you have aerial imagery loaded. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

There have been discussions (on these lists) for a fer years now and the consensus opinion was that if you upload gps tracks (and mine are all still there and identifiable) then source=survey was not necessary. Maybe this opinion has changed over the years, I'm not sure. The consensus was that all input should have a source=tag whether it's from survey, nearmap, bing whatever.

Ben Kelley wrote "E.g. I can see that there is a GPS track log nearby, but did the person use it?" Yes, that was exactly the arguement If there is no source tag but there is a public GPS trace uploaded to OSM, then the assumption is that it was used to plot the way and that the tag Source=survey is present.
