Hello Mappers, Do we have active mappers (with an interest) in / near Lafayette, LA?[1] How do you feel about address data for that area? Would you participate in improving that data? Would you like to lead that effort? More details, and all follow-ups please, to imports@ and imports-us@.
I've been given ~100k address points for Lafayette LA, along with license permission for inclusion in OpenStreetMap under CT/ODbL and future licenses. The publisher requires a "don't blame us" waiver that we may include in the wiki. :-) A quick scan of the central area of Lafayette shows approximately 14 addresses that include addr:housenumber=*. A very quick preliminary scan of the data reveals: - addresses are ALL CAPS and need expansion of RD, ST, ETC. - addresses are points and appear to be approximate building centers. There are exceptions. There are address points on what might be a "main" portion of a building. - there is at least one address point on the pitcher's mound of a ball diamond, and not on the club house building. - address points seem sensible based on existing road rendering and aerial imagery, for the area I looked at. So, if you are interested (and especially if you have local knowledge), please follow and participate on imports@ and imports-us@. Best regards and happy mapping, Richard [1] I'll ping those that I see in the user map as well. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
