[talk-au] ACTmapi data and openstreetmap

[Max Bainrot]

Hi everyone

Is it ok to use ACTmapi data for mapping, specifically the 2016 (maybe
2015, iirc it's also creative commons) as iirc it's licensed under creative
commons attribution.

http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/terms.html

Also if we are able to use it how does one go about getting different
datums to play nice in josm. ACTmapi uses AGD something.

I have been successful in getting QGis to play nice with it so maybe it
might be a case of having some kind of interpreter or using QGis to take
AGD and output mecocretor geotiffs for import into josm.

Cheers
Max

Re: [talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

[Max Bainrot]

The swimming raft describes it exactly

man_made=pontoon was my first thought but wasn't sure (was checking on a
mobile device on the bus) so I'll use that.

With tagging the ladder, the pontoons can rotate a fair bit so how
sensitive is the position of something like a ladder?

Swimming area is also something I plan on marking as these swimming areas
do have buoys on like a cable around the perimeter marking the boundary.

Thank you to everyone for their input so far, the help is very much
appreciated.

It would depend on whether we are talking about a floating jetty:

or what our American friends would call a swimming raft:

The first one is a pier but the second one isn't.

It seems that there are two ways to tag a swimming raft. The first is from
OpenSeaMap seamark:type=pontoon

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dpontoon

There's 36 of these. The other is man_made=pontoon (There's 87 of these).

Maybe swimming_area

[talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

[Max Bainrot]

Hi all

Quick question

How does one map a swimming pontoon? Our local lake has two beaches that
has them.

They consist of a floating platform with a ladder to one side and are
anchored to the bottom of the lake and are mostly static although they do
move and rotate a little.

[talk-au] Query about how to map maxstay when it's conditional

[Max Bainrot]

Hi guys,

I've come across two car parks with one of those really fun conditional max
stay signs.

So the situation is that the car park is open 24/7 but on Mon-Fri it's 3hr
parking from 7.30am to 6pm, excl public holidays.

So what I am thinking of doing is mapping it with maxstay="Mo-Fr
07:30-18:00 3h; Sa-Su, PH none" in the hopes that it's sane enough that
it's usable. It's certainly human readable provided whatever it is that is
using the data presents the value of maxstay to the user.

opening_hours="Mo-Fr 07:30-18:00 3h; Sa-Su, PH off" + maxstay="3h" doesn't
seem right because it basically implies that the carpark is not open on
weekends/public holidays and when it is open it's only 3hr parking.

There is actually a lot of car parks here in Canberra that have little or
no information about maxstay, pay, opening_hours, etc so would be handy to
know what's the best way/most kosher way of mapping it.

Cheers,
Max

[talk-au] Correct tagging for life rings (life saving buoy)

[Max Bainrot]

Hi all,

Been doing some searching trying to work out how to tag a life saving buoy,
its basically enclosed in a enclosure located near a emergency phone.

So after some googling I've come across the following.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Dlife_ring

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dlife_ring

Both of which as far as I know do not come up on any maps.

I've gone for the emergency=life_ring as its the most used one and appears
not to be a proposed element so should be good.

Is there any other tags I should consider putting on it or is that it? (it
seems too easy lol)

Cheers,
Max

Re: [talk-au] Correct tagging for life rings (life saving buoy)

[Max Bainrot]

Thanks, I learn something new everyday :)

As far as I remember there was no blaringly obvious markers or operator
info on it. Just "Life Saving Buoy" in big white letters on the bright red
enclosure (looks alot like a fire hose from a distance)

There is an emergency telephone nearby though (identical to what you find
on federal highways) which I mapped too

Ta,
Max
