I think Adam Killian uploaded most of these a year or two ago—I don't know if he's on this mailing list. Hello. I am still here. The tags I used were just my best guess at the time. It won't hurt my feelings if you think you have a better tagging scheme. Incidentally, I got most of the shapefiles from http://www.pasda.psu.edu/ I got unofficial confirmation from an employee at the Fish and Boat Commission that this data was public domain. I know some of the SGLs have fields in them which look like farms in the satellite images, but really aren't. They're just grown for the benefit of the deer from what I understand. I also read in the news recently that the Game Commission and DCNR swapped some lands, so some State Forest Lands became State Game Lands and vice-versa. I don't know if this change has been reflected in the state datasets yet. I don't really have the time at the moment keep up with these kinds of things. --Adam ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[OSM-talk] No Exporter Found in Josm
Hi, Has anyone run into a problem with JOSM when you try to export to a file where you get No Exporter Found! Nothing saved.

Re: [Talk-ca] [Talk-us] NY Bicycle Routes
For whatever it's worth, I've been tagging the statewide cycle routes in Pennsylvania as RCN. I originally was tagging them as NCN, but there are actually 2 interstate cycle routes in the US, so I switched to RCN. I always took Andy's remark that LCN could mean London cycle network to mean that LCN is the proper tag for networks within a metro area. --Adam Sam Vekemans wrote: Hi, how are you tagging state-wide cycle routes?

[OSM-talk] Bogus GPS Uploads
I have found what I believe to be bogus data in the GPS track database. If you open JOSM and download GPS data for this area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=41.067lon=-76.766zoom=9 You will find a trace for a very long elliptical area, oriented East-West.. I am very familiar with this area, and I can't imagine how anyone would have generated such a trace by any legitimate means. Is there a way to figure out who did this and see if we can have it corrected? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [Talk-us] County Line Corrections
I think there may be cases where one shore or the other is the boundary, not the centerline. Presumably, islands in a river are in one county or the other?

Re: [Talk-us] Changes to TIGER data
On Mon, 2008-08-11 at 21:55 -0400, Nathan West wrote: Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to OSM, and I was wondering what the recommended way to make changes to the TIGER data is. The situation I'm currently looking at is a 40 mile walk/bike trail that is a converted railraod and is still listed as a railroad in OSM. I am also fairly sure that while the TIGER rail line matches pretty close, it is a little off in areas. So the final question is: If there are fairly large outdated data sets that may be off in location, is it easiest to just delete the old way and create a new route? (I can get the actual route easily) I would just edit the way and change railway=rail (or whatever) to highway=cycleway or footway. I don't think there's an established standard for multi-use paths. If it's off a bit, you can either insert a few nodes to make it fit better, or you can actually drag the whole way to move it. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
