[talk-au] Show Ground Tag
G'Day All I was just marking the show grounds here in Rockhampton but I'm not quite sure what tag to use. I've had a look at the tags on the OSM Wiki under landuse, Amenity and Leisure and nothing seems to be the right tag. I even had a look under the Australian tagging guidelines. I looked up to see what tag used for the exhibition grounds in Brisbane. It's been tagged landuse=commercial. Hmmmye but I still don't think it's the right tag. Is the above tag the right one? If not what is the right tag? Sean ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] How to map out streets the most efficently
This is what I do. I use paper maps to plan my route. I also take them with me so I stay on that route or to make changes to my route. I also use the maps on the GPS and the track log. As you driving around the track log shows on screen so I know what streets I've done. I use a PDA to voice record the street names and spelling. When at home I load the track log into Google Earth to see if I have missed any streets. If so I will plan it into my route next time. One of the most important things I do is turn off "Follow Road" in the track log setting otherwise my tack log WILL NOT BE ACCURATE.

If you think about it why do we show larger roundabouts as ways if they can't be easily be converted and used in other formats. Because ways can be easily converted even if the program or device can or can't understand that ways roundabout tag.

If the guys that write the Garmin program/scripts converters are anything to go by then they seem to be having trouble converting a tagged roundabout node.

Re: [talk-au] roundabouts
Is this the intersection you are talking about? It's in Griffith right? http://www.lizarddrinking.net/images/OSM.JPG If it is, it's still a loop way as you can see in the pics. Maybe the text you saw was where the roundabout way joins up to the Hillam Drive way. To get a screen shots of your GPS you will have to use a program called xImage. You can download it from Garmin's website http://www8.garmin.com/support/agree.jsp?id=545 I believe this program may not work with the Nuvi's but give it try. Should work with all other Garmin GPS's.

Re: [talk-au] roundabouts
G'Day Liz Well I just skim read you document. The design or how they are made, how they differ from other countries etc, just doesn't interest me sorry. The only thing that interest me about roundabouts is 1) What the law says about how I should enter or exit a roundabout when I'm driving. 2) Where they are. 3) What exit I need to take to get to my destination. I'm sorry but that's me. I did see one point that did interest me in your Opinions section. Quote "Fiddling with my Garmin sat-nav I suspect that it supports a "roundabout on a node" tag.". Could you please explain this point a bit more. Going through all the docs I have on the Garmin format I can't find any support for a roundabout on a node. Can find support for a roundabout on a way. Even looking at Garmin official maps like City Navigator, all roundabouts are drawn as loop ways.

Re: [talk-au] What gives with roundabouts?
G'Day Cameron I never said I was mapping for a particular program or device. Garmin was just an example. I'm mapping for all programs and devices. As all programs or devices can render a loop way it just makes more since to do it that way. It doesn't matter what the tagging is or if it is removed. Any tom, dick or harry that uses that data knows straight way where the roundabout are don't they. In the case of Garmin GPS's they only support roundabouts as a way and not as a point. Pretty hard to edit a script if that's the case isn't. Sean Cameron osm-mailing-lists-at-justcameron.com |OSM list| wrote: > Sean, > > We should not map for a renderer or for a particular use case.

Re: [talk-au] What gives with roundabouts?
I've read through all the post on this discussion so far and I totally agree with Darrin. I also think all roundabouts including ones paint on the road should be drawn as a loop way. I see the discussion has been about trying to define what a roundabout is. But no one has thought about the end products that this data can be used for. There are many programs and devices out on the market that when the OSM data is converted into a format that that the program or device can use, that the mini_roundabout tag is lost while being converted. It basically turns that intersection into a four way intersection and you have no idea that there is a roundabout at that intersection. A really good example is all Garmin mapping GPS. All roundabouts HAVE TO be drawn as a loop way to show up on the Garmin GPS. I can't be 100% sure but I would this would be true for most mapping GPS's. So what I'm sayings is you are better to draw a loop way for ALL roundabouts so that if the tag is lost while being converted to another format or load into another program, any Tom, Dick or Harry can still tell there is still a roundabout at that intersection.

Re: [talk-au] Road numbers in Garmin
G'Day Diego I see your post has been hijack and gone off in another direction. It should have made as a new thread guys. Anyway to answer your question the answer is yes. People are adding this data when they map out these roads so it is there. It is just a matter of telling the compiler to add it in. If your making them yourself you will have to give a bit more info on how you are making them. If your downloading them from a site just shoot off a email to site owner. Ask them if they can add them in.
