[talk-au] Routing islands
Hi. I noticed this the other day: Geofabrik Tools has a Routing layer that highlights islands. Islands are ways that you cannot route to, and generally point to a problem somewhere. The routing layer only seems to apply to Europe, and puts hashing over the rest of the world, although the pink Islands overlay does work for Australia. e.g. See this section of Sydney: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=routinglon=151.08138lat=-33.86157zoom=15 This shows a section of the M4 that could not be reached. It was due to a bridge incorrectly marked as being the wrong way. (Now fixed.) Here's another one that is not fixed yet: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=routinglon=150.82846lat=-33.75053zoom=15 I haven't looked into that one yet, but I suspect one end of the road (or both ends) is not connected to the surrounding streets. It's quite a useful tool. - Ben Kelley. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

There seem to be all sorts of extras in the OSMI tools in that more works than the documentation or the provided interfaces suggest.

Hi ben http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/debug.html?view=routing_non_eulon=150.82846lat=-33.7503zoom=15opacity=0.98 gets the routing outside europe ( I had the same problem and went looking for this url) . http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?schema=50error=38081608 paints an even gloomier picture. I am well on the way to fixing Canberra but the number of errors was/is amazing. I'm just about to do the floating Islands (orange in keep right).

I've been giving you a bit of a hand there, but mainly outside Canberra. I apologise for not marking things I've fixed as ignore temporarily (error corrected). That's because I thought that flag was stored on my own PC, and not visible to all. Many intersections in Cootamundra had no connecting node. These are among the things I've fixed, although that problem was obviously pre-redaction. John ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Routing islands
Gee, thats pretty revealing ! I see a number of error there that I suspect I may have made, in particular relating to ways that are close but don't join another way. I think this highlights a lack of a best practice document on how to add ways to the map. I can remember getting warnings from JOSM on the subject, but the warnings say something to the effect that don't let that stop you from submitting the addition. Considering the great tools available and the incredible effort by so many people, its a pity we don't have that best practice, I suspect there is concern it may scare people away !
