Re: [Talk-us] TIGER 2011 Road Tiles
Is there any way possible that if you zoom in to level 20 that your tile service will send a message that those tiles don't exist anymore? Because when I zoom in that close, all I get are solid gray blocks which block out the Bing layer I have underneath. Would appreciate this if possible. ;) Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 09:13:30 -0600 From: ian.d...@gmail.com To: rickmastfa...@hotmail.com CC: talk-us@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-us] TIGER 2011 Road Tiles Try again.

Okay, I found this previous email in the mailing list. I started JOSM,
edited preferences, clicked on WMS/TMS, click on +, selected the TMS
tab and entered the above URL for TMS URL and TIGER 2011 for menu
name. I restarted JOSM, zoomed into an area then selected TIGER 2011
under Imagery menu. The layer shows up in the Layers list, but
nothing else changed on the screen.
The OSM vector layer (that I'm editing) and the TIGER 2011 layers are
the only ones visible. JOSM will show other layers when selected. Why
doesn't TIGER 2011 layer show up?
Thanks,

I also stumbled across the fact that the Census is making some of TIGER available as a WMS, too: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_2011#WMS As I said earlier, one should not necessarily use TIGER11 to correct earlier TIGER05 names when the two differ. Positioning has improved tremendously in urban and sub-urban areas, but I'm finding lots of naming discrepancies. Better quality will result if we verify from additional sources, like those available from many counties. Note that the Census's BAS maps seem to be from the same source database as TIGER, though maybe extracted at different times. -- Alan Mintz alan_mintz+...@earthlink.net ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

You are right, there has not been too much talk on this list about actual mapping lately. I haven't done much beyond remapping SLC lately... And I forgot to bring my GPS when I went skiing in Alta[1] the other day. On the topic of TIGER layers: Harry Wood made an interesting suggestion in the comments section of my blog post on road analysis (see other post): wouldn't it be interesting to crowdsource particularly problematic (in terms of alignment) areas of TIGER data? What do you think? (How) could that work?

What do you think? (How) could that work? I don't think that would lend itself to 'Mechanical Turk' general solutions in the way that turning circles would for example. It takes a bit of analysis to sort out - in many of the cases I've seen, intersecting roads must be untangled, changing the order at which they intersect the road in question. It would require that the crowds be well trained the the use of the OSM editor they are using. That being said, this could be done by armchair mappers, provided that there is enough 'armchair labor' available. Another aspect is use of improved geometry from another layer via a conflation plugin. This has been discussed several times before but I haven't had time to work on it. I've used the concept on a small scale against Mapdust reports, bringing in new TIGER data from another layer, then from JOSM's UtilsPlugin2, 'More tools' / Replace Geometry. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Let me know if you have any ideas to make it better.

Re: [Talk-us] TIGER 2011 Road Tiles
Thanks Ian, This in conjunctin with Bing imagery makes finding new neighbourhoods really easy. Of course at the same time I always clean up a few nearby decliner edits as well. And where a decliner has taken over a Tiger road it is now very easy to just blow it away and remap it from the new Tiger stuff.

Great, thanks for doing this! The white works well with a downloaded
data layer in JOSM, but definitely not with a OSM-Mapnik background.
Are there any tiles out there that have just highways (preferably
dark), with a transparent background? That would make this tool
excellent for spotting discrepancies, at high and low zoom levels.
Thanks, I'll be sure and look at this more later.
