Re: [HOT] (no subject)

Hi Dan, tricky to check at the moment as I am at the airport without my laptop, but I think we have to stick with the bing imagery. The one you posted (I think) was for Masisi tasking only. Happy to check later, but it looks the same Cheers, Pete On 12 Apr 2017 06:06, "Daniel Specht"

There is newer imagery for #2782 - Missing maps: Tete, Mozambique available at tms: http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/digitalglobe.n6ngnadl/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZGlnaXRhbGdsb2JlIiwiYSI6ImNpbncxNzE4OTE1dm51a2x5dzlkMXI0eHUifQ.TPHGd-IakYZGSP1ja3WTbQ. Is it OK to use it? -- Dan

Re: [HOT] round objects

I map those as follows: 's' unselect everything 'a' click, draw a line across the diameter, click 'Shift-O' it becomes a circle tag it as building=hut remove 5 nodes, then press 'o' to make it round again. 11 nodes is more than enough for each hut. now use Ctrl-d to duplicate to the other huts

Re: [HOT] round objects

Hi Daniel To me this looks very like a hut and the coding would be ok. You can see similar one in Lira (Mozambique) http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/2.26129/32.86115. Regards Philipp 2017-04-11 19:27 GMT+02:00 Daniel Specht : > Any idea what the round objects in

[HOT] round objects

Any idea what the round objects in Mozambique on the enclosed picture are. Mappers are tagging them as buildings. the project is #2782 - Missing maps: Tete, Mozambique. If your can't see the picture, it's at Google Photos https://goo.gl/photos/ rKvZJvwBqWrXQn7P6[image: Inline image 1] -- Dan

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

All, let's draw this thread to a close. I think we can safely take away that additional training, validation, tool and process improvement is needed. Most importantly, in the future please keep in mind -- we are all working hard together to make the map. We owe each other respect in our

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

Just an idea. As to quality I think HOT/OSM can learn from zooniverse.org where they have lots of projects with thousands of citizen participants that produce science data, mostly to provide classifications for AI learning. For example each project sporadically presents the user without telling

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

Thank you Majka. I think Majka has pinned down one major problem. Same problem as I had with trainee programmers to them speed was important. In HOT we shoot ourselves in the foot by saying this project is urgent, implying speed is of the essence. We need a different way to say this. This

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

I have to admit, I couldn't use iD for "bulk" mapping for the life of me. I find it suitable for the one-off mapping / for doing corrections only. But some mappers do and do well with this. You can find haphazardly mapped buildings and untagged ways and nodes using JOSM for mapping as well, just

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

Hi Folks, One things for sure - you should never be able to upload anything from ID that is untagged. As for buildings I use both JOSM and ID. I think it just requires good instructions for either system. You get into a rhythm with either system so for me it comes back to good instruction

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings something to think about

Maybe we're explaining it to them wrong, somehow. It's more likely that it's too easy to do it wrong though. These issues keep coming back and haunt us. Anyway, I went in and tried it myself, once more. '3' (to draw an area, I like keyboard shortcuts) 4 mouse clicks + enter or 5 mouse clicks,
