[Talk-us] Proposed mapping party
Hi all, I am proposing the worlds first PIMP (Proxy Individual Mapping Party). How it goes would be like this. Once I have finished turning Grand Junction from red to green (in about 1 week), then lots of you (from all over the world) could check what OSM has against all possible mapping sources (both maps and imagery). Where there are any differences or omissions or just confusions then we could make a list of these locations. I would then plan a route (on my latest favourite sat-nav device) to visit all these locations. Then I would (either by myself in a car or with another passenger/geo-photographer) map all the differences that I/we can in two days. Once entered into OSm then OSM/Grand junction would be pretty much usable for tourists etc. I'd leave POI's for others to do, I'm only interested in roads their names and any turn restrictions. Maybe keen eyed people could spot one way roads than I/we could check on. Since I'd be in a rental car. I'd best restrict myself to just paved roads.

[Talk-us] NHD data - where to put preconverted .osm files
Hi Y'all, This may be slightly premature, but if all goes well, my conversion of the latest NHD high-res data set to OSM format should complete within 24 hours. The data set will be approximately 15 GB, zipped. So my question is: where to put this for users to download? My main motivation for starting this conversion was: - To let users import, edit and merge NHD data without having to run a command-line based conversion and - To let users user the NHD data without having to extract it from the NHD website (which makes shapefiles hard/impossible to get). I could potentially throw this onto one of LR's servers for a while at least. Does OSM have a more 'official' place to hold this kind of data? If/when we find things wrong with the conversion, I can re-run it. From the discussion, some of the requested changes would require changes to the conversion toolchain. cheers Ben -- Scenery Home Page: http://scenery.x-plane.com/ Scenery blog: http://www.x-plane.com/blog/ Plugin SDK: http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/ X-Plane Wiki: http://wiki.x-plane.com/ Scenery mailing list: x-plane-scen...@yahoogroups.com Developer mailing list: x-plane-...@yahoogroups.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

[Talk-us] What happened here?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.18649lon=-88.65098zoom=15layers=M Harmony Road has been deleted, and a bunch of connecting roads are messed up. I was working in this area doing TIGER cleanup in mid-May, but between NE2 and xybot, the history tool on the web site is swamped with changesets, and I can't figure out whose needs to be reverted. I can fix this manually, but I'd rather not if we can narrow it down to one guilty party. I really hope it isn't me somehow :-) -- Kristian Zoerhoff kristian.zoerh...@gmail.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

OWL is a much better tool for this sort of investigation: http://matt.dev.openstreetmap.org/owl_viewer/map?zoom=14lat=42.18689lon=-88.69091layers=BT http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/21928761/history says that user mpinnau deleted the road.

Re: [Talk-us] What happened here?
Nice. I cancontact Martin, but we might need someone to revert the changeset, as I've certainly never done it before. -- Kristian M Zoerhoff On Jun 13, 2011 3:47 PM, Ian Dees ian.d...@gmail.com wrote: OWL is a much better tool for this sort of investigation: http://matt.dev.openstreetmap.org/owl_viewer/map?zoom=14lat=42.18689lon=-88.69091layers=BT http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/21928761/history says that user mpinnau deleted the road.

Re: [Talk-us] What happened here?
OK, I've heard from both users. Juliana was a newbie, and messed up an edit badly. Martin tried to fix it, but just couldn't fix it all by hand. I hate to revert his changeset, as he's a good mapper, but I don't see how else to fix this. -- Kristian M Zoerhoff On Jun 13, 2011 3:58 PM, Mike N nice...@att.net wrote: On 6/13/2011 4:47 PM, Ian Dees wrote: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/21928761/history says that user mpinnau deleted the road.

Well, I had just done cleanup in the area.
