 I have looked and it seems ok in that respect

Turns out it was labelled:

  highway = tertiary 

instead of

  highway = tertiary

(note the extra space on the end)

[Talk-GB] missing road (edinburgh)

2007-09-11 Thread Minty
There should be a road, just north of Union Canal Towpath, connecting
Dundee Terrace (bottom left) with East Fountainbridge (top right).

http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=55.94184853520736lon=-3.2138223571634574zoom=16layers=B000F000

The ways are in the DB.  Any ideas why it isn't showing on the map?

Maplint appears not to know about it either.

[Talk-GB] Edinburgh Party Progress

2007-08-23 Thread Minty
As I can't make it to the Edinburgh Mapping Event this weekend [1] I
thought I'd bug Dave [2] and ask him to do a progress map [3] for
Edinburgh.

Central Edinburgh, Aug 2006, Feb 2007 and Aug 2007
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~random/progress/?region=edinburgh

Wider Edinburgh Area, same dates
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~random/progress/?region=edinburgh-wide

Enjoy the weekend and many thanks to Dave for the maps,

Murray.

[Talk-GB] Bridges (Edinburgh)

2007-08-08 Thread Minty
I've noticed many bridges around Edinburgh appear to be done using
three seperate Ways

See George IV Bridge, and also Castle Terrace if you pan to the
left a little.

http://tinyurl.com/298f7t

* way_before_bridge
* way_for_bridge
* way_after_bridge

all three have highway and name attributes set to identical values
with the middle one also having bridge=yes.

Mapnik appears to be able to deal with this, but the
informationfreeway / [EMAIL PROTECTED] appear to get confused and render the
street name three times (once per way), which tends to look rubbish.

But it also seems wrong and over-complicating things to me.

Would it not be better to have:

* one way for the whole of the street, with highway and name set.
* A second Way for the segments covering the bridge with the only
attribute being bridge=yes (and name= if the bridge itself has a name
distinct from the road).

Yes/No?

Also, on a related topic.  Say I have Ways created in a loop to define
a Park, and use the same segments to create a second Way for a path
around the boundary of the park.  I cannot fathom how to control which
way is selected when I click in JOSM.  It appears to pick one, and I
am unable to select the other.  If the two ways have some different
segments, you can often work around this, but when they share the same
segments, I'm stuck.
