Hi Frederick, did you manage to put something together that renders turn restrictions ? I'm interested in anything you have that does that. cheers On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 6:24 PM, Frederik Ramm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > Sort of like the previously feature image: > > http://wiki.ope

[OSM-talk] OpenPlantMap

Anyone involved with the National Trust? Apparently they are mapping every plant in their gardens all over Britain. Do they know they just need OSM and a few new tags (plant=nettle for example). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7395915.stm elvin ibbotson _

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenPlantMap

This data is a little bit on the specialised side for osm. I would say that it would be better to setup a separate database and site specifically for this purpose based on the current osm software and tools. Then if they want to map roads they deal with that from the osm data side. When i

There's something suspicious about that bbc video. Those people look like bad actors. I have the impression that they are simply trying to call some attention, just to remind us (or remind you) that the "National Trust" exists. In my case, it has worked. I had never heard about such institution

[OSM-talk] Section Township Range? Boundary data

In the US Farmers and Ranchers often use the section township and range for determining where properties are. Is there an convenient way to import this kind data from say shapefiles into OSM, Is it reasonable to do so? I am a newbie with OSM, be kind with regards to my ignorance ;-) ___

Re: [OSM-talk] Section Township Range? Boundary data

At present I don't believe that any grid-line structure is in place. Alberta is in a similar situation, the local standard map grid (ATS) is defined algorythmically. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Township_System Many physical features, such as township/range roads follow these grid lin

Are there any use-cases for keeping the legal designations of rights-of-way (aware that this is very UK-specific..) e.g. perhaps someone wants to use our maps to check that all the rights of way in their area are properly accessible. Or someone using an OSM map is challenged by a landowner and 't
