[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Houses and other buildings
Hi all, When I look at a lot of towns all the houses etc have been traced but not in others, I can't beleive someone has sat down and done each house one by one? Where is this coming from and how can I get it for my area?

For example almost all the buildings at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.39399lon=-1.57597zoom=15layers=M have been traced by me from Bing aerial imagery.

If you look in Birmingham then all the houses are there, I can't beleive that was done manually. There must have been an import sometime.

OMG that's amazing. Why can't we get it from OS Opendata? On 08/06/2012 23:06, Andy Robinson wrote: All done manually, there is no magic import.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Houses and other buildings
OS Opendata buildings are simplified polygons. Tracing over Bing imagery is much better generally, at least in the Birmingham area it is as the resolution of the imagery is good.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Houses and other buildings
It's a hugely impressive achievement and all credit to those involved. If you would like to add addresses but don't have the time to trace all buildings, you can make use of addr:interpolation tag. Basically add a node for the two houses at either end of a road (or corner with an adjoining road) and fill in their numbers (addr:housenumber=) and street (addr:street=), then draw a way connecting them and tag the way addr:interpolation=even (or odd) as appropriate. * Example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.3905lon=-1.51256zoom=17layers=M * Addr:Interpolation details: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Using_interpolation Regards, RobJN On , Andy Robinson ajrli...@gmail.com wrote: All done manually, there is no magic import.
