2008-02-12 Thread Paul Zagoridis
Hi everyone I live in Randwick NSW and work in Campbelltown, so I'd like to fix up a few things near work. What is the page of the wiki (if any) that runs me through using JOSM to add roads, roundabouts and how to link things correctly to existing ways? I know to download from OSM and then upl

I've been wondering about those maps (and another garmin set I found that seems to have almost the entirety of Melbourne in them, with no copyright restrictions). That could work - I've already got them on my machine - will have a look at what they through up for a couple of problem spots I know o

Any company would have to produce evidence that you had actually copied from their database - just having a list of streets identical to another is no proof that you copied it, rather than sourcing it from the physical world. That's why Sensis persist in having errors in their database - purely to

I don't really understand why you guys are wanting so much to get a free ride. The really important thing about OSM is to create a map that we can be sure does not infringe anyone else's copyright. It really doesn't matter how long that takes. In my mind, if there's the slightest doubt about any
