Hello -- brand new user here, please be patient :).
I am trying to improve OSM in my home town. I notice that many/most OSM
ways are approx 5-10 m west of where Bing has them.
Most either have nearmap or nothing as a source. There are no GPS tracks to
download. I could make some but they're usual
Hi Russell,
Welcome aboard. Just my thoughts...
For a newbie, you've made some very astute observations about the accuracy of
the aerial imagery, so thanks for giving it the degree of thought - because
many others just dive in and start tracing without understanding these
subtleties.
You're a
The bing imagery is out.
As per here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing#Precision
you need to align the bing imagery to either gps traces or source=survey
or source=nearmap.
Nearmap guaranteed that their imagery was within one metre, although
there are some areas that are outside this
Agree with everything that Ben said.
In addition, you may like to check the AGRI imagery. If the Bing and
AGRI imagery align exactly, chances are you have well aligned Bing
imagery. If the AGRI imagery aligns well with traces, it is easy
enough to shift the Bing background to align with AGRI, an
Thanks everyone for the replies. I have imported over 250 GPX traces from
my running log, boy does that slow JOSM down. It seems Bing may be offset
but having 100+ traces on some paths it is all just a big wide blob of
grey. Still, the blob is offset. I might try and cobble together a tool to
avera
Russell,
Found this on a search. This might be your answer to average your tracks -

First question you have to ask is how old the survey is? Australia as a
whole moves north about 7-8 cm a year (from memo

GDA94 to WGS84 is approx 45 cm from what I read but it will be affected by
continental drift. GDA is fixed to points on the Australian plate so GDA
coordinates will not change (much) but I guess OSM is really meant to be in
WGS84.
Just an update to this thread in case anyone is interested, I re-di

previously their guarantee was that the accuracy was within 1m.
Not so interesting since we aren't using nearmap any longer, and many of
the nearmap traced ways have had their accuracy

Is that not the done thing?
GPS traces are usually 5-15 m in error in a random direction. Bing's pixels
