Re: [talk-au] Missing streets in Sydney
Hi Ben, I'm sure all the avid "tracers"out there will deny this,but, I believe that this is the downside to tracing. Once an area looks well mapped, there is little incentive for anyone to go there to map it properly. I'd really like it if all roads that don't have names yet (in OSM) were just deleted. Then II'd be much more inclined to drive there and collect all the infomation. I think that I may have traced a couple of roads in Grand Junction Colorado,but I'm about to drive there to collect names and any other info available.

Having a quick look around, it looks like one of us needs to put some names onto the map of Cowra: http://osm.org/go/uNfeplBS-?layers=N John H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I'll stop that accusation there. I haven't been able to put many names to streets in Cowra because I don't travel through there often. If the streets are traced from sources which shouldn't have been used, then of course they should be deleted as Nick suggests. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

If turn out to be the first one there collecting names, I'll keep the GPS trace on and realign the streets from that (attributing source=survey at the same time).

I do, and I've been meaning to name all the streets. Of course I haven't yet done so. Next trip will be in a week, but it will be my daughter's birthday and I don't know if I'll have time. > If the streets are traced from sources which shouldn't have been used, > then of course they should be deleted as Nick suggests. I am unaware of the sources used for mapping Cowra. If I collect all the street names I'll also have GPS traces to match. -- Sam Couter | mailto:s...@couter.id.au OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
