[talk-au] Open Mapping team at Microsoft Australian edits

[forster]

Hi all

Just FYI the Open Mapping team at Microsoft has been very active,  
editing in Australia, over the last week. You can view their program  
at https://github.com/Microsoft/Open-Maps and their team members at  
https://github.com/Microsoft/Open-Maps/wiki/Open-Maps-Team-at-Microsoft

Thanks for the heads up. 
   I have found a large number of canals/ditches added as minor roads or
tracks in NW Victoria as well as fences as tracks etc. I have sent a message
however has anyone else noticed other issues in the following areas?

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58382600

This user, which on his user page says "I am proud to be in Microsoft Open Maps 
team." Has been making a lot of "Fixed geometry" changesets.

Now, the motorway he worked on did indeed in part need fixing, as it was in 
places 10-30m out of position.

But the particular stretch in that changeset I just fixed up myself a few days 
earlier, using imagery with corrected offsets, and taking into account tagged 
lane information (because of the placement tag, the "way" that defines the 
motorway is not always in the absolute centre of all lanes).

I made a changeset comment to which I didn't get a reply, so I send a direct 
message to the user on 29th April to which I also didn't get a replay.

Cheers,
Thorsten

They haven't done anything in OSM in the last 8 days; maybe they saw 
your messages, forgot about them, and then went on holiday?  Or it might 
just be that their email isn't getting delivered*.  If they come back to 
OSM and don't reply then drop the DWG an email and we'll be able to let 
them know that people are trying to get in contact.  The "I've seen a 
problem; what should I do?" bit of 
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group should help.


Best Regards,

Andy (from the DWG)

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the communication breakdown here, we're still evolving our processes. 
This particular person has been out of the office for over a week which is why 
they haven't responded to the changeset comment. I am the OSM lead at 
Microsoft, feel free to reach out to me personally with any concerns or you can 
reach the whole team using openm...@microsoft.com.

​Hi again,

I was interested what happened here, and I got deeply involved in this case.
As I said before, we are seriously taking GPS traces in account.

If you look following picture (http://i64.tinypic.com/30t5jq9.png), it
clearly indicates that most of the traffic is in the right area (where is
red line), and it can indicate that imagery is offsetting. It can also
indicate that this particular lane is used most of the time. So in both
cases you have to make proper estimation.

The second thing is that this area is completely reconstructed (even that
ground-level road which can be proved in Aerial view and GPS traces as
well) and it is impossible to know with 100% accuracy which trace is taken
before and which one is after the reconstruction.

Personally, I think both edits are good. Especially because offset is
marginal, one lane wide. DareDJ aligned road to GPS traces, you aligned to
the imagery.

Also, these road links has no traces after reconstruction, so it is really
hard to know how much imagery offsets.

As I said before, I will fully take care about this case in Microsoft team.
Please note that we are here at your disposal and we are trying to expand
coverage and fix as much as possible issues.

Thank you once again for your time,
Nemanja
