[OSM-talk] Quarry or construction?

Can someone offer some tips on how to distinguish a quarry from a construction site? They seem to look pretty similar from the air - lots of dirt and vehicle tracks, sometimes piles of dirt. Eg: http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.946025,145.093174&z=16&t=h&nmd=20100416 (Note, I'm looking for general

This is usually a datum shift/SRS issue. Check if you have the correct projection and datum of the shapefile. Ths is contained in the prj file (filename.prj) On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Arlindo Pereira wrote: > Hi there, > I just managed to get the permission to import import the city go
