Hello all,
I have a question about applying the ODbL. I can take this to the legal list,
but I am hoping there is a quick and easy answer.
Some contractors working for my organisation are building a network model for
Queensland using OSM data.
The model is for routing, and has value-added attr

Some windmills might actually be mills? Which means they mill grain? (grind

Following on, I should point out that Qld TMR's view of Rest Areas is that they

Hi all,
What is the convention for tagging an address for a residential property in a
suburb (Coorparoo) in a city (Brisbane)?
addr:city = "Brisbane"
Or
addr:city = "Coorparoo"
Or
addr:suburb = "Coorparoo"
Which is best for navigation and routing?

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert the Queensland, Australia OSM roads into a GIS format (esri shape or mapinfo) using GDAL 1.10
I downloaded a .osm.pbf file for australia from http://download.geofabrik.de/australia-oceania/australia.html
I'm only really after the geometry that represents roads.
