[Talk-us] Updating tagging of public transport

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right list or the tagging list is better, but I see some bus and subway routes in the Atlanta area that use the older version of tagging public transport routes. Should these be updated to use the newer version of tagging? -- Saikrishna Arcot signature.asc

two areas. In addition, according to this[3] page, only Canada and the border data is marked as View only; all other counties are public domain. Is there any reason this imagery can't be used in OSM, and perhaps even be added as one of the pre-existing imagery sources in JOSM? -- Saikrishna

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Orthoimagery

Unfortunately, the high-resolution imagery isn't available everywhere in the US yet, and Bing is better than the NAIP. -- Saikrishna Arcot On Sunday, July 06, 2014 08:28:27 AM Saikrishna Arcot wrote: Hi all, I noticed that there is a wiki page on the USGS High Resolution Orthoimagery[1

Re: [Talk-us] Why we really don't get new users

JOSM also has a plugin that provides a UI for entering opening_hours. That being said, this UI is in JOSM, but new users are probably going to use iD since it's easy to use and is right there (quick availability). -- Saikrishna Arcot On Monday, March 17, 2014 01:20:12 PM Ian Dees wrote

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports-us] Address Data Import for Fulton County, Georgia

versions of the address data are under different licenses and so might not be possible to import into OSM. (As it is, this is the latest version on the clearinghouse website). You have a good start here, but you have a lot to do before the import is ready to officially propose. - Serge Saikrishna
