Re: [HOT] Visualizing OSM data with cartodb to aid HOTOSM validation

Martin, Thanks for that. I've added a very brief entry to this section of the wiki describing validating http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager/Validating_data#Useful_Tools_for_validating Your blog post looks is very informative, but I'm not sure what else I should add to the

I should add that we will be collecting place names, building types and all the other local detail you'd expect as time allows and clean up whatever's left afterwards. Robert Banick | Asia GIS Officer | International Services | Ì American Red Cross 2025 E Street NW, Wa

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

You can also do this in QGIS by editing the python code. Claire, if that's of interest to your teams I think Vivien Depardey posted instructions in this forum 2 years ago or so. Robert Banick | Asia GIS Officer | International Services | Ì American Red Cross 2025 E Str

[HOT] Small Red Cross task

Hi All, I'm currently in Nepal conducting a participatory assessment with the Nepal Red Cross. We're using OSM to collect participatory GIS data and have realized that the current base map is a little sparse on land uses, etc. that would help the community orient and locate key data. More detai

Great job. This will let bring in more name for the urban areas. I dont think that we have such a detailed TOPO map for the Monrovia area. If there was one available, it would help to complete for the Monrovia area which is of high priority. Pierre De : B

[HOT] Improved version of US Army Topo map for Freetown, Sierra Leone and surrounding areas

Hi, I don't know who else besides the people doing the GNS name merge use the topo maps, but I made some better versions of the 2-AMS map for Freetown and the area around it. These are 2-AMS NC-28-16 revised 1963 for anyone who is keeping track. It was too big for the scanner so we had to sc

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

If you're adding OSM to ArcGIS as a Basemap, it looks like those are provided through ESRI's ArcGIS Online. They might consider adding more options to those, but I doubt it'd be anytime soon. Other options: 1) Adding the Humanitarian layer using ArcGIS Online. You can get the basic idea here: http

As the Mapbnox imagery doesn't seem good enough to illustrate the photos I collected, I stumbled upon this post by Pieren: "The answer is 'no' for a mass use of Bing screenshots but I think there is some place for occasional and limited amount of images, especially when it is used to illustrate ho

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

Don't know ArcGIS, but I'm pretty sure tiles above a certain zoom level are only rendered when they are needed (so that's where the lag comes from), and they are re-rendered when the data in that region changes (again depending on the zoom level and whether that tile has been queried or not). The

Hi Allison, You mean those squiggly little lines that go E-W'ish? They are not rivers or streams. They are roads or paths but that is one of my questions too and the reason I want to make the little reference for roads in Africa. As sanderd17 mention, how those roads look on satellite imager

Re: [HOT] Satellite imagery interpretation examples - looking for suggestions

Some pictures on the Africa highways wiki page wouldn't hurt either. Quite often, a road can look too narrow to be classified as "unclassified", so people put "path" on it. But that's in a lot of cases because the treetop makes it seem narrow, but at the bottom, it's wide enough for vehicles to pa

Blake, I'm hoping you can come up with a way of sharing the screenshots on these subjects. As well as the wiki or LearnOSM article you develop, the basic screenshots could be of enormous help for those who produce items on twitter, facebook, press articles, slideshows for presentations etc..
