Re: [HOT] Suggestion needed: Household level OSM in Bangladesh

Hey Ahasan, The best way to sync your census data with OSM would be to have similar administrative boundaries, they are typically stored as Multipolygons. There is tons of documentation on how to create accurate boundaries [1]. Any national wide census should start with defining every boundary wi

Re: [HOT] Suggestion needed: Household level OSM in Bangladesh

Hey Ahasanul, Here's an example of a project that was created during an OpenData hackathon in Canada at CODE [1]. http://ecotrust-canada.github.io/hypochondriapp/ It shows you regional wide statistical data from a country using boundary files, you could replicate this type of application for BBS

Re: [HOT] Post-disaster imagery for Vanuatu

Thanks for that information! There is a slight offset in the imagery, before editing with JOSM or OpenID, you should do an imagery offset to match the OSM data or Bing imagery. In JOSM >> Imagery Tab >> Imagery Offset >> Select Pleiades Left click & drag on the map, move the imagery until it ali

Re: [HOT] validating tiles

Very good points you brought up Dan. I feel very strongly about the #2 point about adding a statistic for validators, it does take effort to browse the tiles properly. I sometimes end up adding a few missing buildings or landuse areas if they are only a few minor missing features. Hopefully those

Awesome work everyone, the imagery looks great on JOSM! Well done to everyone that was involved in making this happen. @Humberto: For your next mapping party, you should consider including an appropriate "*source" *tagging schema. building=yes source=techo.org date=2015-03-16 If imagery was coll

Re: [HOT] How to locate places without addresses? Open location code

Most topographic maps will be using MGRS grids for referencing a location, it can be 1m precise to 100m depending on how much digits you grid contains. Garmin GPS's have MGRS built in by default, it's a good idea to use both LatLng & MGRS when referencing a location. Example of MGRS - 45R UL 12345

[HOT] Photos from Nepal (Sankhu Village)
