Re: [talk-au] Residential road tagging

[cleary]

I think the current tagging is an accurate portrayal of what is "on the 
ground". Looking at imagery and, if one visited the place in person, I think 
there is a wider section with a roundabout which seems appropriately tagged as 
residential. Although it is possible to drive along the narrower section, it is 
not intended for through traffic but services half a dozen homes. I'd suggest 
leaving it as it is.

Re: [talk-au] Naming Bus Stops for interchanges in Sydney -completed

[Warin]

Ok,
I have done the ones in Sydney + Newcastle-
brought the Stand information to the front of the name, I have left the 
rest of the information alone.



I'll make a note in the OSM Aust guidelines about it.

I'll have a look at other capitols later.

(GTFS 'stop_id' I think is OSMs 'ref')


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_data_catalogue

As there is an election coming up .. would some political pressure 
promote the processing of this application?




At the moment my thinking on bus stops tagging is

name= tag .. move the 'Stand' information to the beginning of the text 
etc


ref= tag ... use this for the reference number - this appears to be 
used by some renders and is helpful in using transport planners.


comment= tag use this for any route information that maybe present. 
Useful for mappers to check/use for route relations

In Sydney, many stops display the stop number but I'm not sure if we 
have another source for this data - in NSW, the convention is that 
the first four numbers  are the postcode of the suburb. So all stops 
in Strathfield would have a 6 or 7 digit number with the first four 
digits being the postcode for the suburb.  For example stands A to D 
at Strathfield have their numbers included in OSM with the tag 
"local_ref="

Possibly the stop number is a 'operator_ref' ... whatever, no
practical use to the normal person.

I actually find the ref super useful, because with the Transperth app
in WA you can search by stop ID and it's quicker and a lot more
accurate than searching by street name etc. They're displayed in
OSMAnd, and that's usually where I get them from.

How do you know the number to start your search?

Re: [talk-au] Announcing: OpenStreetCam competition

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi everyone, 

The OpenStreetCam competitions in Australia and New Zealand are now concluded!
Thank you all who participated! We will announce the winners next week. I need 
to collect and verify the data.

No reason to stop collecting images! They help tremendously with mapping OSM. 
As a matter of fact, I created a quick screen-cast to show you how I use OSC 
detections and images for mapping. Every time I do this I can’t help but think 
of Clarke’s third law — any sufficiently advanced technology is 
indistinguishable from magic. Here’s the link to the video —> 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/406zllf3qrxpcop/openstreetcam-speed-limit-australia.mp4?dl=0
 

 and since Dropbox is definitely not magic, let me know if you can’t see this. 
Please let me know your feedback on working with OSC in JOSM.

Also — we have our first couple of Waylens Horizon cameras[1] on the way to 
you. If you’re interested in capturing with these advanced cameras, let me 
know. We plan to get more of them in your hands either through a lending 
program or a follow-up OSC competition.

 Folks,
 
 We added an additional holiday prize for the 2 mappers who collect the

 Details added on the competition page! You need 25k points minimum to be 
 eligible for this prize, but since coverage is very low in Australia,  you 
 collect points very quickly.
 
 Let me know if you have any que
