Re: [HOT] reprojecting EMI datasets (was Nepal: Hospital import gone wrong?)

Hello, Would you, or anyone, help Rafael reprojecting EMI datasets, starting with Kathmandu Valley folder? Apparently EMI uses Nepal_Nagarkot_TM projection (which might be the one refered there, found through a web search, whose parameters can probably be given to proj: https://geonet.esri.com/th

Hi Henning, Google translate is cool! (translate.google.com) You can make it automatically recognize the language and offer translations. These characters abviously mean "area" (or "space", "clearing" or "vacancy") - I would guess it's a newbie's attempt to mark something.   To be honest, I hav

Hi, Google Translate translates these characters as : "Space" (with alternative meanings "clearing", "area",...) The example way you give doesn't look flat at all (but this might not be obvious for a beginner). Task 995, referred to in changeset comment, was about road network (http://tasks.hoto

Re: [HOT] newbie needs advice - connecting paths

Andre, I think the case Suzan describes is not a "proper" path being invisible, rather that people just walk without paths, eg between several houses. In this case it would be pointless to draw a fan of paths to each house. I would rather end the path somewhere in the village.   In general I ag

Re: [HOT] newbie needs advice

Hi Spring, OpenStreetMap is definitely not a military style organisation ... I think it's not even a GIS-project in the stricter sense (rather a open database of spatial information).   But I also think it IS a success. Like Wikipedia it is often chaotic, it is very often inconsistent and yet I

Re: [HOT] reprojecting EMI datasets (was Nepal: Hospital import gone wrong?)

I was able to reproject the Kathmandu Valley rivers data into WGS84 and verified it correctly overlays rivers visible in OSM. Let me know how you'd like me to send the shapefile to Rafael and if I should proceed with the rest of the EMI data sets. I'm happy to help. Thanks, Bernadette On 6 May 20

Re: [HOT] newbie needs advice - connecting paths

This is one of the examples I came across: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/27.45550/85.42807 Maybe it's not the best one - it looks like you can easily walk from one building to the other, but you can't really tell the altitude differences. OpenCycleMaps knows that there are steep gradients

Re: [HOT] reprojecting EMI datasets (was Nepal: Hospital import gone wrong?)

This would be for all the other EMI datasets. (Unrelated to hospitals, except by email thread). Feel free to proceed with the rest of the data sets, starting with those of Kathmandu valley folder. We are looking into setting up a storage space for file transfer. Thanks, Jean-Guilhem Le 06/05/

Hi that is an excellent example. Between the buildings you are right I don't see a path and more over, we don't really need a path between those two individual buildings if that is what you were referencing. But I do see a path going off into the woods to the NNE that I would map, even thou

Thank you, Blake! In the meantime I had traced those paths, and did fill some gaps where they got through vegetation - in this case I felt confident to do that. I didn't follow on, as I need to get back to may day's work ... To me it looks as if all the aligned buildings to the west are right a

This image is typical of villages and agriculture in Nepal with all these terrasses in the hills. As we spoke  yesterday, it shows how the houses are disseminated in the village. From the left of the village, yes we see the path that connect to the houses on the top of the hill.    Pierre
