Re: [Talk-GB] OS boundary data as background images in Potlatch or JOSM
Thanks Colin. The gpx files are what I was looking for, and will help me. I've done any updates manually by comparing the boundary line data up to now.

Re: [Talk-GB] OS boundary data as background images in Potlatch orJOSM
Thanks Colin. Ideal... I'm looking to update Dartmoor Exmoor, which already have relationships, so this will enable me to match the gpx layer with the existing data in JOSM. Just had a quick look at the Dartmoor gpx and it matches the road layout in a section I'm familiar with. So looking good.

You can get the GPX files and the licence statement from here: http://csmale.dev.openstreetmap.org/national_parks/ BUT: a) the data seems to be OGL-licensed but I am not a lawyer so I cannot say it's ok to use as a source for OSM (but I suspect it is OK) b) the metadata within the GPX still assumes it is from OS Open Data - I will fix that up this weekend So I would recommend not importing the GPX into OSM yet as the copyright statement in the metadata is wrong. However you can already work with it directly in Potlatch/JOSM if you want - I would appreciate any feedback about the accuracy of the reprojection (does it align accurately?).

Re: [Talk-GB] OS boundary data as background images in PotlatchorJOSM
Agreed... I like to reuse existing ways, as an example, part of the dartmoor trace tries to follow an existing stream, which was NPE created. We now have a stream and that part of the NP using the same way and nicely aligned to the trace and OS_StreetView.

So looking good. You're probably aware, but just in case... boundary relations are much easier for mappers to work with when they reuse existing ways. I recently repaired a rather nasty foul-up in the Lake District where someone had created the National Park boundary using new ways, but shared nodes. The result was that when a newbie wanted to upgrade a road to tertiary, he accidentally selected the boundary way instead and ended up creating a very wiggly tertiary ring road all round the National Park. I've also seen a case in another National Park where the boundary, which follows roads, was created with entirely new ways. The result was that beautiful boundary-derived ways were sitting alongside 2006-vintage badly traced roads from NPE which should have had the same geometry. In other words, take your time - it's worth getting it right. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/OS-boundary-data-as-background-images-in-Potlatch-or-JOSM-tp5736006p5736106.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Find My Nearest Cash Machine
Some of them are spot on in my area and others are 30/50m away/on wrong sides of the roads/etc. They do have a light blue and a dark blue colour, the light blue colour shows the chargeable ones.

Too small an area that I am not familiar with for me to make any meaningful comment. A different colour for the machines which charge would be useful, to allow these to be ignored.

Re: [Talk-GB] Redaction progress
Richard, Not sure if anybody else has noticed this, but I've just checked one of the areas cleared by the redaction bot, and it seems to be leaving blank nodes. Not sure if this is by design, or some other reason. I've just downloaded an area of Minehead in Somerset. -3.4767445,51.2051163,-3.4740934,51.2066179 which before the bot went through had a lot of individual nodes tagged as shops. One of the nodes is http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/467052422/history They are now showing as blank nodes.

Not sure if this is by design, or some other reason. Hi Jason, It's by design. The bot tries to rescue what it can from the history, and sometimes this is only the position. That can be really important for some nodes (i.e. if it used to be a pedestrian crossing, but is now just a node in a way) but perhaps less useful in other cases. You might find similar things like untagged ways. Thanks for the feedback though, we're really keen to hear about anything unexpected that's left behind.

We are expecting the bot to take around a month for the whole world, but there are so many variables it's impossible to say. In particular, the test runs have run on test hardware, and we don't know what speed it'll run on the live hardware/database - which is faster, but also has the slight complicating matter of people using it for mapping! :) There is also some uncertainty about whether monster planet-spanning relations will have an adverse effect on the run. However - and I'm sure those who know more about the technicalities of it will correct me if I'm wrong - I think it's entirely plausible that the British Isles will be complete by the end of this week. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Licence-redaction-ready-to-begin-tp5715730p5715766.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
