[Talk-us] New Hampshire Perambulations

[Russell Nelson]

New Hampshire has a law requiring the town council of every town to hike 
the perimeter of the town once every seven years. They can appoint an 
agent to do it. I did one of these hikes, between Henniker and Weare. 
There are markers along the way, which we re-painted, or otherwise 
renewed. Regardless of what any map says, these markers are the borders 
of the town, and can only be ascertained by a hike.

Not so much "disingenuous" as misleading. Tourism implies you can go 
there, yet clearly you cannot. Access=no if it's not reasonable to get 
there, or access=private if the owner doesn't want you to go there, 
should be a reason for leaving off tourism=.


Maybe the problem is the name of the tag? Tag names can be misleading. 
They aren't just metadata.

Re: [Talk-us] Import of addresses for San Francisco, CA

[Russell Nelson]

It was an experiment, to see how accurate the three methods could be. 
That road, and many around it, are not completely built-out. When a new 
building is built on an empty parcel, it will have an address 
immediately.  When a new address is assigned to a new (split out) 
parcel, the interpolation will give it an address immediately.


On 6/18/20 3:19 PM, Yury Yatsynovich wrote:

Oh, wow!
Maybe that's fine, but to me it looks like duplicated info. As far as 
I understand, extrapolation lines are needed in areas where buildings 
are not mapped yet and, hence, the extrapolation/approximate location 
of the address is the best one can get. If the address is precisely 
assigned to a building, why would one need the same address on the 
extrapolation line? But, again, that's just my opinion and maybe I'm 
overlooking something important.

Re: [Talk-us] Import of addresses for San Francisco, CA

[Russell Nelson]

I have done this in the area around Potsdam, NY. Assigning the address 
to the centroid of all the points that describe the parcel works quite 
well. It's not perfect, though. Look at May Road. I've entered addresses 
there in three different ways:


  o On the building as an area, traced by hand and added by hand.

  o On the centroid of the parcel as a point.

  o On an address interpolation way, which hops from parcel point to 
parcel point.


The addresses are, as a rule, close enough to the houses to be well 
worth the effort it took to import them. But, go look at it yourself.

It looks like there has been interest in this kind of import (the

So, please, consider this message as my "community buy-in": does 
anyone have any objections related to this possible import?
By now I've obtained a permit from the data owner 
(https://data.sfgov.org/Geographic-Locations-and-Boundaries/Addresses-Enterprise-Addressing-System/3mea-di5p) 
and almost finished writing my code for matching buildings to address 
points.


If there are no objections, I'll go on with organising all 
documentation and sharing the code/resulting .osm-files for review by 
OSM community.


Looking forward to receiving your feedback!

p.s. I have some experience in importing addresses (e.g., see

if you didn't touch the international boundary, how could they find you (or

they remove the "disputed" from POK, and somebody outside of India adds it
back? "Look, I tried to change it, but a non-Indian changed it back. It's
pointless to try to stop them."

 Hi Yogesh,

 NH is about 1,00,087 Kms ; may be we have mapped 90-95%
 SH is less than 2,00,000 Kms, we would have mapped 60-70%.

 Total road length is about 10,00,000 kms.

 States which have decently mapped NH and SH can move next level.
 Major District Road or Urban Roads [owned by Corporations or
 Municipalities]

 For example in Kerala we have decently mapped NH and SH.
 Once SH mapping is reached 90% we have to move to MDR.
 Because more data on MDR is available than urban roads.

 Hi Sajjad,

 Mozilla Location Service team is kicking off a series of events in
 India, called Geolocation in a Box. The primary purpose of the event
 is to understand location services with greater depth (checking out
 the existing wheels, before recreating), explore possibilities, gather
 feedback  connect with the developer community to build on top of it.

 This competes directly with Google Location Services et al. and as you
 can understand, it will need a lot of community backing to do so well.
 It's an open, public location service for all; and is from Mozilla, so
 it's as altruistic as it gets.

 The event targets to spread general awareness of the project,
 brainstorm  gather feedback from the people who has insights in this
 topic  then go on a short distributed trip to the city, with
 MozStumbler app on participant's android devices, to gather location
 data. We have pretty neat plans to reward the top contributors! ;)

 Following are the links you may wanna check out:
 Event Page: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/geolocation-in-a-box-bangalore/

 As you have invaluable contributions  recognition in OSM, I request
 you to spread the word to the folks based in Bangalore, who can drop
 by the Red Hat office on this Saturday afternoon.

Re: [Talk-in] Mappy hour?

[Russell Nelson]

(Started writing this yesterday, then got distracted)

I'm in-country. Avoided getting ripped off by an autorickshaw driver who
wanted 300 bucks to go from the domestic airport to Bandra Reclamation. Did
he think I just got off the plane yesterday? (actually, it was this
morning.) Another less greedy autorickshaw driver asked for 80 bucks and
got 100 bucks for his honesty. Donated blood at the Lilavati hospital.
Walked from there to the seashore and up along Carter Road. Added a church
and a playground to OSM. Adjusted a few of planemad's shops on Union Park.
Still didn't get them all right because my GPS track was wandering through
the buildings on the other side of the street. :)

We need some better technology than GPS for associating distance along a
road with waypoints. Maybe a bicycle odometer coupled with a video camera
or voice recorder? Then, post-process the video into a string of photos
spaced out so that every photo captures every bit of distance, maybe with
50% overlap. And post-process the voice stream so that it gets split at the
silence.

Although, silence may be a rare commodity in Mumbai. Maybe have a
pushbutton which records waypoints and which plays a snippet of audio
immediately after the waypoint is taken. That way, you could go
clickCoffee DayclickCosta CoffeeclickCitibank etc.

 How come everyone is suddenly in Mumbai? If anyone is planning to come
 towards the himalayas, I can be found near Dharamshala till January.

 Sure. Let's do a meetup next week in the evening sometime. Other Mumbai
 OSMers around?
 Please call me 98200.45529. My office is in Matunga West/Mahim and we can
 most probably meet there.
 Best,
 Shekhar

 Hey everybody, I'm going to be arriving in Mumbai Sunday morning, here for
 a week. Does anybody want to get together of an evening, do some armchair

 available after that. I'm working at Rediff in Mahim, but my hotel is the
 Bawa International in Santa Cruz, but I can make my way around Mumbai as
 needed.

Oh, yes, and ... What time? 6 or 7?

 Dear Russ and All:

 Tomorrow (Tuesday 27 Nov) doesn't work for me, since I just realised that
 this Wednesday is a state holiday and I'll have to work late.

 Perhaps Wednesday 28 Nov would be better, since more folks will be free to
 travel and maybe taking a break.

 We can meet in Worli at the flat of Sanjay Bhangar (also on this list), as
 wifi is currently broken in my office in Matunga West. Worli is nearby.
 Subhodip, Arun, Mikel etc. know the place.

 The address is 105, Madhuli Apartments, opposite Nehru Planetarium and
 Atria Mall, Dr Annie Besant Road, Worli. My contact number is 98200.45529
 and Sanjay's is 98200.53341.

 Russ, does this work for you, and if so can we confirm the meetup on
 Wednesday evening? Let's do it around 6 or 7pm since me and others will
 need to commute home by 9pm or so.

 Best,


 Shekhar

Re: [Talk-in] Mappy hour?

[Russell Nelson]

Okay, what if we plan on Tuesday evening?  We have the offer of Topomancy's
offices in Matunga West/Mahim. Is 8PM a reasonable time? Can everyone get
there after work? I'm figuring that we'll plan on being there an hour, and
as it gets later, people will dribble away.

Sorry, Sajjad, but no plans to go to Bangalore in spite of FOSS.in being
there a week from now. I had fun running a mapping party there three years
ago -- I'll bet you can get interest if you call for one again.
