[Talk-us] Twitch MapRoulette session Tuesday
Hi all, I've been doing some informal Twitch streaming sessions just doing some JOSM mapping, and it was quite fun. I will do another one this Tuesday specifically about creating a MapRoulette Challenge. I will be starting at 19:00 US Mountain Time[1]. If you have an idea for a MapRoulette Challenge that you'd like me to cover, let me know and I'll do my best. My Twitch channel is here: https://www.twitch.tv/mvexel Hope to see some of you then; [1] https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20200811T19=220=Twitch+%23OpenStreetMap+MapRoulette+Session=cursive -- Martijn van Exel m...@rtijn.org ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

The most interesting clauses in the license is: "Users are not authorized to license, re-license, assign, release publish, transfer, sell or otherwise make available any portion of these Data, or any information from GIS data derived from these Datasets, to a third party in any format revealing Thurston County as the source of the data." This solves the attribution issue quite nicely: we're *forbidden* to credit this data to Thurston County. > The database has 128,639 addresses.

Some observations: * Almost every point corresponds to a building or some other object (eg. a parking lot) that would reasonably be expected to have an address. There are a few oddities, such as a wetland. * There are a few multi-story apartment buildings where the address points don't correspond to the actual locations of the units. * I think you'll want to build street names off the "StreetName", "St_PreMod", "St_PreDir", "St_PreType", "St_PosDir", and "St_PosType" fields rather than any of the other fields. * There are seven duplicate addresses in the data. -- Mark ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Anyone familiar with Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP)?
Mateusz, Kevin, Thanks for the advice. I will probably reach out to the original mapper again, and if no source is provided, delete the names.

Re: [Talk-us] Anyone familiar with Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP)?
The 'names' look like someone's field notes: 'Tarn A', 'Tarn B', 'Tarn C', 'Tarn Off the Map', 'Tarn Off the Trail', rather than something that the locals would call them. Of course, people's field notes leak into imported data sources all the time. For the sake of not firing the first shot in an edit war, since the mapper is responsive, ask if there's any objection to removing the questionable names?

[Talk-us] Potential Import of Addresses for Thurston County, WA, USA
Hello: I discovered that Thurston County, WA publishes a database of addresses stored as gps pins inside a shape file. The data can be found here: https://gisdata-thurston.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/thurston-address-points-tcomm?geometry=-122.915%2C47.023%2C-122.914%2C47.023 The license can be seen where it has a link labeled "Custom License" next to a picture of a lock. I didn't see anything in there that would prohibit our use of this, but extra eyes are needed. The database has 128,639 addresses. My goal would be to import the entirety of it into OSM, as Thurston county has very few addresses in OSM. They would be imported as points, since the database has them stored as points. The caveats I see are as follows: * The database probably has some addresses that are wrong. While everything I could verify has been correct, I only checked about 100 addresses. * There may be some overlap with buildings that already had addresses entered. Since Thurston County has very few addresses in OSM, I don't see this being a huge issue. I have never done an import, and I do not know what the process for both consensus and the actual import would be.

Though I am sadly unfamiliar with Rocky Mountains - but especially given (6) you are not obligated to make even more research.

In such case removing this names should be fine.
