Re: [talk-au] Adding intermittent to water south of Alice Springs.
Thanks Andrew, That's a great resource - someone should show that to Googlemaps! They have hundreds of 'lakes' in Tassie that don't exist. https://www.google.com/maps/@-43.4647476,146.1809558,15z -Original Message- From: Andrew Davidson Sent: Friday, 23 September 2022 7:36 PM To: Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> Cc: OSM Australian Talk List Subject: Re: [talk-au] Adding intermittent to water south of Alice Springs.

Re: [talk-au] Adding intermittent to water south of Alice Springs.
Hi Warin, I have been doing much the same as part of the land use=reservoir cleanup. I suspect some of it got added when some imagery appeared showing “a flood year” when in reality most folks would know that is not the norm. Often, switching imagery will show the real “normal”.

[talk-au] Adding intermittent to water south of Alice Springs.
HI, I have just add the tag intermittent=yes to several water bodies south of the approach road to Ayres Rock (A4 Lasseter Hwy). Most of these were mapped some 3 years ago by the Microsoft Open Maps team. While some water is visible in various imagery there is also large reductions of water areas in other imagery, this plus various travels in the are suggest that these water bodies, particularly the larger ones are at best intermittent. Any comment/objections? -- For those interested... I have been mapping around 'Lyndavale Station'. 10 miles away in 1936 a school teacher lost their life having fallen from their motorcycle and died from lack of water, plenty of fuel and oil though. Water could be found some 4 miles from where he was found.. his grave is there where he died. The motorcycle is at Curtin Springs .. though like most things that old and used has had various parts replaced, some with 'alternative parts'. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Introducing RoadRunner by TomTom
Hi everyone,
Will from TomTom here again. Thank you to those who joined the open discussion
meeting on Monday. We appreciate all the feedback and ideas you brought to the
table. I'm glad to see there is interest surrounding the RoadRunner tool, so I
would like to share more information with the wider Australian community.
RoadRunner is a tool that uses vast amount of GPS traces to completely generate
a road network automatically. It can detect one-way streets and road classes
(motorway, major road, minor road and so on) from TomTom GPS traces and pulls
in street name information from OpenStreetMap. I'm happy to say that this tool
is available for use for the OSM community and here are some potential
use-cases:
* Detection of new or missing highway and roads
* Detection of misaligned highways
* Confirmation of traffic changes on major projects
OSM community members may look around the RoadRunner Web Interface here (feel
free to adjust the XY coordinates as desired):
https://roadrunner.innovation.tomtom-global.com/styles/basic/#12/41.59256/-88.42777
It is also possible to use RoadRunner as a custom background in the iD Editor
using the following URL:
https://roadrunner.innovation.tomtom-global.com/styles/basic/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
RoadRunner output may also be downloaded as a geoJSON file if you wish to
conduct your own analysis for potential map uplift.
Also, here is some additional information from our blogpost:
https://www.tomtom.com/blog/maps/osm-roadrunner-instant-maps/
We are aware that RoadRunner may not be flawless at this stage, but it is a
glimpse of what is possible. We'd love to hear your feedback or any potential
project ideas you may have with RoadRunner.
Thank you again,
Will
