All you have to do is answer this question: Which looks to be the most accurate?

Also take into account the fact that yahoo imagery can be misaligned.

In general the ABS data looks more accurate, but be aware of the 2000 node 
limit and at least several ABS boundaries exceed this and while it's possible 
to split them it's a pain in the butt to do.

I've cleaned this up with the exception of a couple of abbreviations that I
don't know how to map
back in to their full names (e.g QYS). While I'm there, I'm tempted to
replace the current PGS
coastline with the borders from ABS - a good idea ??

In JOSM you can select a large number of objects based on a rule. Such as 
select all nodes with highway=gate. Then when you change a property it will 
change it on all selected nodes.

This is what I did to add maxspeed=50 to every residential street in Newcastle.

It won't help for the street names though.

I wasn't commenting on the past correctness, just that there is a lot of them 
and they should be fixed and some sort of method to process them all at the 
same time would be useful.

That may well have been correct when it was added. Before the barrier
tagging was defined, that's how it was done.

There seems to be a lot of highway=gate instead of barrier=gate and so on and

Thanks.

I was more looking for some method in josm or similar where a batch change 
could be done.

But having a look at the python api I can see a possibility.

If you're a programmer there's at least one Python API:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PythonOsmApi

More software:

http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors

I haven't tried any of this software, no idea if it's any good.

[talk-au] Someone needs some help.

2009-06-20 Thread Ross Scanlon
Hi All,

Just been using keepright to go over all the stuff I've uploaded and came 
across this:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.9987&lon=117.8835&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF

Now someone has done a admirable job of adding the ways but has not read the 
wiki about naming.

Most of the names are in all upper case and the type of street is abbreviated 
in just about all cases.

Does anyone know of an easy way to change the names to mixed case and or change 
the ST to Street etc.

Mind you if your bored and have run out of your own uploads etc here's 
something to do.
