Re: [HOT] Uganda Bureau Of Statistics Educational Facilities import has started

Hi Rafael, I understand where the requirement for the separate account is coming from, but I will always consider it too much of a hassle to switch. And in my case I would be switching continuously. So, I'll limit myself to validating the tiles. I hope it's all right to add some of the buildings

[HOT] #1429

Task #1429 calls for the collection of buildings only. If an existing osm way representing a road goes through a building I presume that the road should be adjusted so that it more closely matches the imagery, is this correct? Thanks, Mike ___ HOT

Re: [HOT] #1429

Re: [HOT] #1429

Blake, Thanks for the reply. I am planning a Mapathon at Colorado State University next week and we plan on having folks work on this project, so I thought I had better get some experience with it ahead of time, as I am sure that the participants will ask questions. Mike On Fri, Jan 22, 2016

Oh that sounds great Mike, Let me know if you run into any problems, or other questions, or want me to stick a default #hashtag in to the comment field for your university or group to help visualize your mapathon's results. It might get a little mixed in with other mappers, but still works

Re: [HOT] Uganda Bureau Of Statistics Educational Facilities import has started

Hi, To help with validation and also to make people aware of those note:... tags, I created a MapCSS style. It's in the list of Mappaint styles of JOSM. I named it Schools. It works in countries with more "regular" ways of addressing too. Cheers, Jo 2016-01-22 8:34 GMT+01:00 Jo
