Re: [Talk-us] Available Building Footprints

Steve, I'm not sure how or why you are jumping to the conclusion that because a wiki page was created that somehow means the import has already occurred. Your impulsive reaction and rants are unwarranted and unappreciated. No one has said anything about importing other than raising the

Re: [Talk-us] Available Building Footprints

California has more than triple the amount of data available than any other state. Importing it will be no small task but doing it in chunks by several people will make it manageable. The buildings in the Bay Area alone in the file stretch from Clear Lake way down to Hollister and run along the

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

I would like to see areas in OSM categorized as either land use, land cover (which we call natural for the most part in OSM) or administrative to clear the confusion. I am also in favor of eliminating the landuse=forest tag at least in its current incarnation and switching any official forested

[OSM-talk] Using unit tags

Hi, Is there any way we can start using the addr:unit tag for buildings? This was approved several years ago but it still doesn't render yet. If both the addr:housenumber and addr:unit tags are used, the housenumber tag is still dominant. This looks really weird having several of the same

Re: [Talk-us] Cleaning up California FMMP residential

As the original importer of this data, I support Paul's proposal to selectively delete the larger residential areas, which mostly are too broad to be in OSM. I know the farm data has its problems, especially in the earlier counties where I didn't fully realize how to use techniques to fully

Re: [Talk-us] Anyone ever talked about adding more Land Ownership data to OSM?

It would be awesome to include the land ownership data from BLM especially if we could do it for the whole US. Unfortunately that is probably not something that people would want to add because of the conflicts with other data. I wonder if we could include it on a limited basis or only include

Re: [OSM-talk] Can Google use our buildings

I'm not sure if this link has been posted before, but for those wondering how Google got their new buildings, there is a link at PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2411232,00.asp. Apparently they recently uploaded 25M buildings done through an automated image recognition software.

Re: [Talk-us] parcel data in OSM

Parcel data in and of itself are not inherently bad to have in OSM as long as they are filtered and modified before adding. For instance an open space parcel probably isn't that useful because it is not represented in OSM. It could be broken up into meadow, wood, scrub, forest, etc. Other parcel

Re: [Talk-us] NHD imports

In June, user Bsupnik converted the entire NHD dataset into OSM format. The files are available at http://bsupnik.dev.openstreetmap.org/NHD. He mentioned that he was working on creating better quality files. The files that he created look good. They are missing the names though. It looks like they

[Talk-us] Kern County progress

I have begun cleaning up the area around Kern County, California. It is starting to not only look better but be less cluttered. I originally imported landuse data from both Kern County and the City of Bakersfield. Some areas from these two agencies overlapped around Bakersfield, and I have

Re: [Talk-us] Kern County Import Cleanup

Kern County does have its set of unique challenges. As mentioned, the rural areas of Kern County I imported from the official county files tend to be too generalized - either landuse=farm for agricultural land or landuse=residential for any type of residential area even if it is rural

Re: [Talk-us] Fresno castradal imports

Thanks for everyone's comments. I do take pride in making sure my imports are good. That said I realize there are issues with the Fresno import, one of my first imports. But I am not sure if we need to throw out the baby with the bath water just yet. If it comes to that, fine. I think the

Re: [OSM-talk] Do we care if its forest or wood? Natural world mapping ...

What about reorganizing the structure of the wiki to be something like this? Basically any item would fall into three main categories - boundary, landcover or land_use. The boundary or the land_use should be the first layer then the landcover. For instance, within a park you could have trees,

Re: [OSM-talk] open space land

Thanks for the response. The area in question is land that usually is near a county or state park in the U.S. Usually the area will be about the size of a regular park or a little larger. Sometimes the borders of the land could be touching the park borders. This land is general purpose land,

[OSM-talk] gpsbasecamp.com

Can data from GPS base camp (gpsbasecamp.com) be used in OSM? The site has state and national park data formatted in GPX XML. Does that mean that it can be opened in GPSBabel or directly in JOSM. So far I haven't been able to get them to work in either.
