Re: [Talk-us] NHD data conversion
Hi Ben (and others), Sorry I haven't commented on the conversion until now. Life intervened. In general the conversion looks good. One slightly important thing I noticed is that there are no names on any of the objects.

I downloaded the data for the two areas that I'm interested in (04060104 and 04060105) and stuck them in JOSM. I'm not sure I feel comfortable just dumping the whole thing in (especially if it might cause problems) so I was planning on doing it more or less item by item. Is there a flaw in that plan? I don't think so...my hope was to get the data into a form editors could use, not to promote bulk importing; in some cases some but not all of the water data for a region may already be present from hand-mapping or other data sources, so merging is necessary. Also, is there an explanation somewhere of what the various files represent? XXX_nhdarhi0.xml, XXX_nhdflh0.xml, etc. The names come right off of the NHD shapefile export. http://nhd.usgs.gov/documentation.html (That stuff gets pretty terrifying pretty quickly. Basically the data is partitioned by data quality and topology type, so nhdarhi is NHD area, highest res data, fl is flow lines, etc. The files are broken into sequence within a HUC to avoid any one file being too huge. And one question about methodology: There are a few larger lakes that were added as part of the PGS process. They appear to have been left pretty much untouched (except by me) and the NHD data is significantly more accurate. Would it be acceptable to replace the PGS ways with NHD ways, assuming I make sure to connect up any rivers, add them to appropriate relations, etc? I can't comment on that - I'm not sure there is really a single right thing to do for OSM; others may at least have better informed opinions than I do. :-) cheers ben ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Mapping Party SLC
Hi all, I want to organize a mapping party here in Salt Lake City. Are there any Salt Lake locals on this list? The wiki page[1] is sparse on social happenings here so there may not have been any before. Does anyone have connections with local organizations / government / University that could be helpful? Does OSM US have any resources to support mapping parties? I have a few GPSes and a dozen or so hi-viz OSM surveyors vests. The latter I would be happy to lend out by the way. Right now they are still on the Atlantic somewhere with all my other stuff, in transit from Amsterdam.
