JOSM can't deal with it, but for some reason potlatch can.

[talk-au] NSW/QLD Border

2009-05-24 Thread Delta Foxtrot

The MacIntyre river and others form the NSW/QLD border and for much of the 
border area there seems to be 2 ABS data sets, one that follows the river 
pretty well and one that doesn't really but uses less data points.

What should happen in that case?

You can see the descrepency in this map:

Hmm, interesting. Does anyone have gps traces for this area that could be
used to try to work out
which is better ?

cheers

The rivers themselves are the border, and you can see that one ABS boundary 
follows the river better than the other.

Also there appears to be 2 boundaries defining the same thing, one is from the 
ABS the other isn't sourced.

 Considering the ABS is only a recent addition and that OSM
 has been around for years, surely it's obvious that someone
 made the effort a while ago to put the state borders in and
 what you are now seeing is a subset of the issues that arise
 from having to merge in the ABS data to existing data. If
 you are confident to do so merge replace them with 1
 appropriate way based on the one that is more accurate,
 making sure to include all data  relations from either
 existing way. If you are not confident to do so then perhaps
 you should be patient until someone who is has the time to
 deal with it.

My initial confusion was over the 2 different data sets both sourced as ABS, 
I've been adding appropriate tags because I thought what you are suggesting is 
the right course of action but I didn't want to tred on any toes.

Now I've hit a technical issue/limitation.

A section of ABS boundary is over 4000 nodes, but I keep getting an error about 
a maximum of 2000 nodes, and I can't figure out how to split or otherwise the 
segment so it can be turned into a river/border.
