Here is some info on the ACT grid"The ACT grid is a Transverse Mercator map projection that uses the longitude of Mt Stromlo Trig Station as its central meridian. It is based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 66 (AGD66), which is modified to take advantage of the ACT’s limited east-west dimension

Re: [talk-au] New CC-BY datasets due Monday 28 September on Government 2.0 Taskforce website

The Telopea Park references, outside of parentheses, would appear to be grid points expressed in a Transverse Mercator projection of the Australian National Spheroid ie very old (yards not metres I suspect) and not much use unless you know the map and central meridian. The numbers in parenthese

Re: [talk-au] More on the survey tag

Hi all I'm still a relative newcomer to OSM (and am still in wonder at the complexity and enormity of the task!) and have found this discussion quite interesting. I only use Potlatch as I was advised it was simple, and for beginners, and it loaded by default in the edit screen. I use an Orego

[talk-au] "View"ing problems - Ping results

Hi all I've been having trouble in using "view" option in OSM ie I can not see maps other than in edit mode. Delta Foxtrot asked if I had pinged the tile sites on OSM. >From my computer all three sites were "request timed out". I then tried two internet sites to ping - one had the "timed out"

[talk-au] Hi all ...

Thanks for your comments everyone. More reading. Delta Foxtrot - I access OSM through "GPS traces/see your traces" link then "edit" (another person uploaded a lot of my tracks before I came to OSM but put my username in the tag so I could find and "fix", do POIs, road surfaces etc). It is som

[talk-au] Hi all ...

Thanks Ross As a total newbie to this I was advised to use Potlatch as it was seen to be the easiest. I understand that JOSM and mercaator(sp?) are more sophisticated eg do proper roundabouts, but I wanted to graduate first! Also, I can not load (or view) maps from osm.org for some reason - I

[talk-au] Hi all ...
