[Talk-us] US Interstate exit junction exit_to tag
The Motorway Junction tag at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Motorway_junction has recently had the exit_to tag added. Old interstate tagging advice at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway was to put exit sign destinations in the name tag. However this is not exactly correct, especially for the case of highways with named exits. The latest JOSM-Tested now includes the exit_to tag as part of the preset highway junction dialog, so people who use JOSM will be guided to the new standards. For standardization purposes, all existing highway junctions should be updated to the new convention. (Junctions which contain name= but not exit_to= should be changed). Question: Can this be a mass edit for the whole US? The results would all be correct except for the case of 'named exits' which properly used the name only, but have no exit_to tag.In any case, I wouldn't propose making a mass edit for 1-2 months as this settles in everyone's mind. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Civil War sites
Hi Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe with a mapping party? I mention because the anniversaries are all coming up. Steve ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
I would definitely be interested. We had a mapping party at Manassas Battlefield last June, but there are so many other battlefields within an easy drive of WashDC that need greater visibility on the map. And now that the weather is moderating, it would be a great time to do some historical mapping. -- SEJ t: @geomantic s: sejohnson8 A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 05:00, Steve Coast st...@asklater.com wrote: Hi Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe with a mapping party?

Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
definitely. i've done some mapping of the Antietam Battlefield Park, and would love to do more. how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are numerous things that can be mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable to attempt in OSM as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit locations during the day at Antietam as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
FWIW, when we mapped at Manassas, we mapped what's on the ground now. Not to say there couldn't be other approaches, but we didn't really have a plan in hand to do historical mapping. -- SEJ t: @geomantic s: sejohnson8 A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 16:40, Richard Welty rwe...@averillpark.net wrote: definitely. i've done some mapping of the Antietam Battlefield Park, and would love to do more. how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are numerous things that can be mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable to attempt in OSM as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit locations during the day at Antietam as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
historical mapping can be hard. i have the resources to do a bunch of it for the Civil War, but the tagging system doesn't support a lot of the data and it would just make a mess of the map, i think, right now. but there are cases where we could tag historic road names where they differ in a significant way from current names without too much trouble. this wouldn't add clutter.

Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
So, Steve - when you made your initial query, did you have something in mind? There are scads of sites scattered throughout the Mid-Atlantic area and, as you can see, a number of us with both interest and experience with mapping historical sites. If we can bring our resources to bear (I'm thinking MappingDC...) I think it could be a really awesome project.

Re: [Talk-us] Civil War sites
truly. i've spent a lot of time immersed in Antietam and the Maryland Campaign of 1862 and would love to figure out a way to convey some of that.
