too large a scale for gaining a quick overview of an area, and 1:50k often miss detail which is important for navigation. However, we still lack easy to use render chains designed for print. Jerry On 26 April 2017 at 12:53, Marco Boeringa <ma...@boeringa.demon.nl <mailto:ma...@boeringa.dem

[Talk-GB] OS Custom Made maps

2017-04-26 Thread Marco Boeringa
A bit off topic I admit, but I just received my first two OS UK custom maps, with my own chosen print extent. I love it! Being custom digital print, the quality does not fully hold up with my 1990's era "Snowdon & surrounding area" offset version, but it is still entirely acceptable, and it

ael, "but your habit of not commenting on most of your changesets did contribute to people's suspicion. I really would urge you to make some sort of comment, even if brief, and maybe repetitive where you are doing similar things." Yes, this was part of my confusion. I saw at least three

Hi all, Since there was no more real discussion, I have decided to also revert the other two changesets. This means all the heath should re-appear on the map as it used to be before, except for the single edit by Brian based on his local knowledge of Snowdonia. I think the suggestion by one

Hi all, Dyserth contacted me through a changeset comment about the changes I made and explaining his point of view. I have henceforth decided to revert the changes I made involving his edits. I have also invited him to join the Talk-GB discussion. I have not yet reverted the other changes,

Hi all, Following Brian's example, and "playing the ball" as Warin pointed out, I have now taken some action. To document what I have done: 1) I first selected all features tagged as "natural=heath" using Overpass Turbo in an area roughly the extent of Wales (but actually larger as the

Andy, so what is your suggestion right now, do this manually or with automated tools? Personally, I only did a few reverts using the JOSM plugin, only reverting an entire changeset, not selectively as you seem to suggest here. I have no experience with the other tools you mention. Would the

Hi all, I now had a very preliminary and short look at some of the changesets involved in the Wales area, which was revealing. I now noticed most of these features seem to have been added by multiple users / accounts: - Sam888, e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/413378224 - Glucosamine:

Hi all, I noticed that in Wales, large parts of the Snowdonia National Park have been covered with natural=heath, much of which seems blatantly incorrect. Although I am from the Netherlands, having studied for half a year in Bangor in 1993, I know the area around Snowdon mountain and

Martin, I have now added a type=building relation to group the Pantheon's Simple 3D features in a logical way. It is this relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6325840. I added the "outline" role to the multipolygon representing the building's footprint, and added the "part" role

I agree there are currently issues. It is an unstoppable trend, but it would be good if there was better support and enforcing of "best practices" so as to avoid loosing the ability to create proper 2D maps in a quest to map every detail of 3D (or for that matter Indoor) buildings. One thing
