Re: [HOT] note to Project Managers: Highway=road

See comments that I made today for the Matthew disaster response.https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2017-February/013021.html This applies also to road tagging. Instructions in the tasking manager are only one step to complete the global task of mapping for an area. We need a

Re: [HOT] note to Project Managers: Highway=road

But how many tiles get validated and how many validators check for highway=road every time? I'm not sure I do. Cheerio John On 22 February 2017 at 17:51, yo paseopor wrote: > Some projects of HOT should re-define their instructions. Also I think it > would be interesting

Re: [HOT] note to Project Managers: Highway=road

Some projects of HOT should re-define their instructions. Also I think it would be interesting a specific HOT taggin' in some parts of a mapathon or similar (for example in phase one , when you have 50 unexperienced mappers making roads with bad imagery, it would useful a specific tagging

[HOT] note to Project Managers: Highway=road

Currently there are HOT projects that include in the instructions the words "If you are unsure of what tag to assign to a road, use the provisional highway=road tag." Yes but many routing systems ignore this these. When we mapped with GPS traces we used highway=road because you didn't know if

Thanks I'd forgotten about it. Does the trick but the training guide should be fun. Cheerio John On 22 Feb 2017 3:14 pm, "Majka" wrote: > The only editor I know for this is Vespucci for android, allowing full > edits, including use of JOSM presets. Everything else

Re: [HOT] What is practical when mapping using smartphones?

The only editor I know for this is Vespucci for android, allowing full edits, including use of JOSM presets. Everything else allows easy edits of nodes (my preference is Osmand) but not of ways. Vespucci isn't perfect, but for tag edits such as mentioned would work. It can work offline the same

[HOT] What is practical when mapping using smartphones?

OSMand allows tags to be updated on nodes but what about building outlines that have been tagged building=yes is there an easy way to change these to building=residential for example? Thanks John ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org

Hi all, The Summit Working Group will be meeting on Skype (ping Rachel.Vannice or Tyler Radford to join) on *Friday, Feb. 24 at 11:00EST* We'll be following up on the info gathering on possible venues and date possibilities (Trello board 'Venue' card has checklist), hopefully narrowing down the

Re: [HOT] Matthew

Hi all, Mapping for disaster response is to support NGO's and assure a good territory management. Mountains in Grand'Anse and Sud department are quite particular with people spread everywhere.  Both houses, road and path networks are important. I am just back from the UNOGA - Potentiel 3.0

Hello all, I hope you are well... Apologies for using the mailing list to send a personal message, but I feel like (and hope) it isn't inappropriate. My time as coordinator for Missing Maps at MSF is coming to an end - last week I accepted a new position within MSF working on innovation process

Re: [HOT] Matthew

Data quality is always an issue and we don't have enough validators which doesn't help. We also have user expectations. If you want to use OSM in a particular area with low internet access perhaps you could arrange with someone to run an eye over the area first? With a large number of different

Re: [HOT] Matthew

Sorry for that I was in mountain area with the student of UNOGA with limited acces to internet and time. If you do the a query over Grand Anse area http://osmose.openstreetmap. fr/fr/map/ You will discover that is not possible to use OSM like that due to a number of duplicate building. So

Re: [HOT] Matthew

It's often helpful when these type of things happen to address the immediate issue (cleaning up) and the process and tooling issues that led to the duplicates being created in the first place. It's probably too long since the original effort but if there are actions that could prevent a repeat

Re: [HOT] Matthew

Dear Fred, Thank you for the feedback. It would help if you provided an actual area and not just an generic link to osmose. I did review all of NW Haiti for duplicate buildings which is what seems to be the biggest issue and out of 68,000 buildings over approximately 1500 sq/km found 470

Re: [HOT] Matthew

Hi everyone, I can only confirm that. Although the overall mapping coverage is great, there absolutely work to be done again on the validation-side. Duplicate buildings and the topology of the road network are the two most striking issues, I would say. All the best, Sebastian On Wed, Feb 22,
