At Elliot Plack's prompting a github repo was established.[1] There are a number of data questions that have come up. Just like the USBR 90 project in Arizona where I established a relationship with the state bicycle coordinator, I am using a similar approach with this effort. Teton Idaho has been thankful for a few questions that I have brought up. I sent off additional questions this morning. In addition, the repo has educational qualities to it. I believe that will be far more important than just shoving the data into OSM.

Re: [Talk-us] Mappers in Idaho!
I wanted to chime in my great enthusiasm for Greg Morgan helping or leading a good, chunky data effort in OSM like this. Greg took on the USBR 90 effort in Arizona, hundreds and hundreds of miles of bicycle route, now very well entered in OSM and AASHTO-approved. It took him weeks, but it would take anybody weeks or months, and he did a fantastic job. Greg was like a co-pilot, taking his responsibilities very seriously, using Mapillary to super effect, asking excellent questions, taking the small amount of direction required very well and just being all-around a top-notch communicator and team member. If you have any interest in this Idaho project, notice that below, Greg offers to lead the effort! So, listen up and throw your shoulder in with him and watch wonderful things happen in OSM with Greg at the helm. Collaborating with him is like an enjoyable adventure!

Look at all this stuff that's not in OSM yet :) Ha! Ha! I looked at the data last night because I drove through the area on I-15 in early February...well it was near by Teton Idaho. Then in May of this year I drove through Wyoming...well it was near by Teton Wyoming. I am familiar with both areas. I left a Mapillary trail in both cases. There are only 11K addresses in the dbf file. I don't know how many foot prints are in the data, yet. What I thought about is that the US community could use the data as an example of how to process the data for an import. There are a number of questions in the data and a template can be developed with a project like this. Oh! I won't be standing in line. I will would be happy to lead the effort. I wanted to make sure that no one else had called dibs yet. I was thinking that GIS school projects or, say, maptime kind-of groups might want to join in as part of a tasking effort. The tasks can be made small enough that they won't overwhelm a new mapper or won't require a large time expenditure for an experienced mapper. Before anyone pipes up about damage to a local community because of an import, there's none. On said I-15 trip, I stopped in Beaver Utah for the night.[1] In one feel swoop of a change set several days later, I got to stand on the shoulders of giants: I modified nodes touched by Dave Hansen, Balrug-kun, and NE2. The area had not been worked since the early days of the US project. The local Beaver paper said that the community was more worried about Boy Scout badges, a fire that ruined a home, and the like. The great open places[2] like Top Of The World [3] are more important than a mapathon.

I could see people being lost on old trail / track data, but the road network is generally routable, just lacking most addresses with an occasional route bobble. In any case, if I cited the source in an upload, it would be handy to have a Wiki page that makes it clear that the source was public domain. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Mappers in Idaho!
To add to the confusion created by me: someone pointed out that there is in fact a Teton County in both Idaho and Wyoming. The person I have been in touch with is from the Teton Co. in Idaho. So no Jackson Hole or Grand Teton NP there, but the eclipse still passes and you have almost just as awesome a view of the Tetons from the west..At a fraction of the cost :) But...Anyone want to map?

The errors in OSM must be worse than we thought if Martijn can't tell which state he's in! -jack -- Typos courtesy of fancy auto spell technology On August 8, 2016 1:19:32 PM EDT, "Shawn K.

[Talk-us] Mappers in Idaho!
Hey all, and mappers in Idaho in particular! I spoke with the GIS person of Teton County in Idaho. This is a popular area with tourists (Grand Teton NP, Jackson Hole, ECLIPSE 2017!!) and he received an increasing number of complaints from folks getting lost using apps / sites based on OSM data. He offered locally produced, surveyed (craft!) data so we may improve OSM. I uploaded it here[1], who wants to take a stab at thinking about ways to incorporate improvements into OSM? I did confirm with him that this data resides in the PD but I can get a written note to that effect if you want. I am also happy to put you in touch with him if you want.
