I don't have an interest in buildings as such what a lot of my mapping is concerned with validating HOT projects. I generally sit on three and check the work as its done. Working like this I can catch new mappers making mistakes and give them gentle feedback to get the overall quality of mapping

Hi Frederik, I tried with the area I provided as example in Bali. Interesting to learn that we can export a group like that to JOSM for editing / correcting.See this zone https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-8.447237794027034/115.40394650097596 As I said in a thread for Maproulette, QA tools

John, yes, the buildings in Africa are really messed up. But yet, they are there in contrast to some largest digital map-makers. Just take a look on some examples like here https://goo.gl/CYVahc or here https://goo.gl/UWuBcf or here https://goo.gl/9iNYCm or here https://goo.gl/jUuqmS. There are

Wow  again, this time a lot more efficient.  With 29,000 ways, very fast Result. I did not believe it since only perfect duplicates of buildings were selected. This was done by a new contributor that did participate to a geoweek mapathon responding for the Volcano emergency in Bali. He did use

You can use the export menu to load all the pinned objects into JOSM, by using the remote command. Le 28/11/2017 à 22:11, john whelan a écrit : The problem is how do you fix them?  Having something directly in JOSM is useful. They tend to appear in clusters so step one is find the cluster.  S

The problem is how do you fix them? Having something directly in JOSM is useful. They tend to appear in clusters so step one is find the cluster. Step two is sort the duplicates out. There really is some very poor mapping of buildings and this at least identifies the ones that there should be no

Very nice. The process I'm using is run it to find the rough area that contains duplicate overlapping buildings. Then redownload the area so its fresh. Then scroll through the buildings. Sometimes one is beeter tagged and more accurate than the other so you really do have to scroll through them

With Osmose you can also get only large building intersection by filter on severity http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/#zoom=11&lat=49.9788&lon=8.3169&layer=Mapnik&overlays=T&item=0%2C8300&level=1%2C2&tags=&fixable= Or addressee the class 2 only. http://osmose.openstreetm

John, Pierre, I made some improvements to the select duplicate buildings script. It now uses a spatial index, which makes it a lot faster on large datasets. It also now uses the actual area of the buildings and their intersection, as opposed to their bounding boxes. I will work on your other reque

Thanks for the feedback. It's obvious I need to make two changes: - support other forums beyond the mailing lists hosted on http://lists.openstreetmap.org/ - return all the matches within the result hierarchy, not just the most specific, so searching for Glasgow should give talk-scotland and t
