Hi. I seem to remember there is a way to add the node to a relation so that it marks where the name should go for the boundary. - Ben. On Apr 30, 2014 12:11 AM, "Michael Gratton" wrote: > > I noticed that as for many suburbs in SA, since I replaced the place=suburb node previously used the

Re: [talk-au] Wither Sydney suburb boundaries?

Hi. My memory of the last abs import was that it was reasonably accurate, but not always totally accurate. As such it is definitely worth importing from a data quality point of view. A way to deal with updates would be good though. Is there an ID that from abs for the boundaries that could be ke

Oh, and streets too are the result of open data - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_South_Australia#Roads - well worth doing if you have a public transport agency that consumes openstreetmap for some of its journey planning, etc. On Sun, Apr 20, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Daniel O'Connor w
