Re: [Talk-us] National Park Mapping Party?
All, I would be really interested in organizing a National Parks Mapping Party event. It would be great to have them going on throughout the US during the summer months. Does anyone have contacts with NPS staff? It would be ideal to get on their programs,. Maybe have group hikes that are mapping? I live in the Bay Area, and would volunteer to organize a Yosemite Trip for last August/early September. OSM at Yosemite could use some work (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.85lon=-119.568zoom=10layers=B000FTF ) I have never been out there, so send advice if you are interested and want to help me in planning. If Yosemite is a bit too far for bay area folks, we could start with a focus on Point Reyes (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.997lon=-122.705zoom=11layers=B000FTF ).

I believe the GIS file reader library I'm using has a plugin for .e00 files. That'd be awesome if you would. The NPS has a lot of data available in .e00 format. I'd like to at least get the park boundaries imported. -- Jeff Ollie ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us Sarah Manley Community Ambassdor sa...@cloudmade.com Cell: 415-254-3050 Skype: Sarah_cloudmade Twitter: SarahManley ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] National Park Mapping Party?
do you have a link for a USGS WMS server for JOSM? Is there a topo layer available in WGS84? Do I ever. http://terraservice.net/ogcmap.ashx?version=1.1.1request=GetMapLayers=drgStyles=SRS=EPSG:4326format=image/jpeg; from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Beej71#Terraserver_Aerial_Photos_with_the_JOSM_WMS_Plugin see also: http://columbo.nrlssc.navy.mil/ogcwms/servlet/WMSServlet for many, many, many, more WMS data sources (remember be sure to check the licensing on data) ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] National Park Mapping Party?
Just a caution. I was just checking this out and noticed that the highest zoom level was shifted for the spot I checked. The second highest matched yahoo aerials, and existing OSM data pretty well. So always verify your reference data. Dale On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:11 PM, Tylertyler.ritc...@gmail.com wrote: do you have a link for a USGS WMS server for JOSM?

I don't really like the USGS topo maps since in this area all of the data is no longer good (if it ever was) ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] National Park Mapping Party?
nobody is perfect. terraserver has some major scanning errors in Yosemite and in other places too. so far havn't found any on yahoo images but others reported them On 17 Jun 2009, at 12:36 , Dale Puch wrote: Just a caution.
