Re: [Talk-ca] More CanVec import problems

2010-10-03 Thread Adam Dunn
In Josm, you can check out the history (the blue book in the toolbar opens
up the history pane, or you can go to Tools-Object History, or you can
press ctrl-h). If it's a new way (past day or so) then just wait a bit. If
it's old (more than a month and hasn't been edited since), then see if it
matches something logical on Canvec or Yahoo Aerial, and either update/tag
or delete. If it's a way that you yourself just recently uploaded, then
something may have gone wrong in the upload process.

I just downloaded the area in Josm, and don't see any untagged ways. Could
you send a link to the way (for example [
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/69488706]) so that other people can
see what you're talking about? (You can get it in your web browser by going
Tools-Info About Element or pressing ctrl-i)

This is odd, I thought I checked for that, when I opened that same file 
in JOSM it did some up as part of a relation. Oh well, whatever. I have 
no free time for a while and a Russian novel to finish for a course, but 
I'll eventually get to uploading it.


Thanks

I downloaded 062G01 from 
ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/062/G/062G01.zip (the ftp says 
last modified July 13, so there haven't been any updates or 
corrections to it), and I still don't see any bad ways. There are some 
ways that have no tags, but that is because they are members of 
relations. It is normal for relations that are multipolygons to not 
have tags on some of the ways. See 
[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon] for more about 
multipolygons. I've taken a screenshot of a way in 062G01.0.osm near 
49.1000, -98.3150. You can see the way is highlighted in white with 
directional arrow whiskers. In the Properties pane there are no tags 
for the way itself, but it does say it's a member of a wood 
multipolygon with 83 members total. Do you not get something similar? 
You would then right-click the relation listed, Select relation, and 
then copy-paste from one layer to another.
