Just looking at nearby mappers, I would hazard to guess Tulsa probably has the critical mass to get the local chapter party started. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Looks like you don't think much of this at all. :( Did anybody take the challenge and host six events in the last six months? Does anybody have an update on their local OSM meetings? Looks like NYC is back! That's great. They have a couple of interesting events coming up. Chicago? Denver? DC? LA? SF? anybody? "Somebody else will do it." That's what you told yourself last time. :-) Your turn. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2012-09-17
These are based off of Lambertus's work here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl If you have questions or comments about these maps, please feel free to ask. However, please do not send me private mail. The odds are, someone else will have the same questions, and by asking on the talk-us@ list, others can benefit. Downloads: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2012-09-17 Map to visualize what each file contains: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2012-09-17/kml/kml.html FAQ Why did you do this? I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact of doing a large join on Lambertus's server. I've also cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently on removable media. http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2012-09-17 Can or should I seed the torrents? Yes!! If you use the .torrent files, please seed. That web server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this side of the Atlantic. Why is my map missing small rectangular areas? There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the red rectangles), I don't see any at the moment, so you may want to update if you had issues with the last set. Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card? If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from the factory. I had to reformat it to let me create a >2GB file. Does your map cover Mexico/Canada? Yes!! I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario in to the USA. Some areas of North America that are close to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps. This might not happen forever, and if you would like your non-US area to get included, let me know. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] "Round at both ends and HI in the middle"
"Ohio, of course." Are you local a mapper in Ohio, especially central Ohio? Did you know that there is a local OSM meetup group in Ohio? Probably not, because it hasn't been very active lately. This group needs a new advocate / operator/ leader. Local OSM groups are amazing fun, and a great way to show and share your mapping with other like-minded folks. Do you want Columbus and surrounding mappers to have a fun event every month? Contact me and I'll give you the keys to the meetup so you can run it. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Consensus on "SR" for state route versus state abbreviation?
On 2012-09-12 7:14 PM, Clay Smalley wrote: It was mainly NE2 that went around changing everything to SR and SH. I'm pretty sure the consensus has always been the postal abbreviation. In Ohio, "SR 123" is used on blade signage and other places where the state route shield isn't appropriate. I've seen "SH 123" in plenty of similar situations in Texas. Vid the Kid and I did much of the original ref= tagging in Ohio. We originally used "US:OH 123" for awhile before mostly switching to "SR 123", long before NE2 took an interest in the state. In fact, NE2 started out by changing all the state routes to "123" and county routes to "(123)", which didn't last too long. So far, newer Ohioan mappers seem to have gone along with the "SR 123" convention, while out-of-staters periodically attempt to "disambiguate" the ref= tags near state lines. So the current inconsistency between states is more of a conspiracy than a one-man crusade. :) -- Minh Nguyen Jabber: m...@1ec5.org; Blog: http://notes.1ec5.org/ ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
