[Talk-ca] Firing Range Mistagged as Cemetery?

2011-02-22 Thread Adam Dunn
A couple years ago, before the CFB closed down, there was a firing range for the military. A high school has since been built there, but you can see [1] for the approximate position (the range still appears in Yahoo and Bing). I was doing some Canvec 7 import for my area, and noticed that this area

Adding in step 5 sounds just fine. I didn't know about the lack of waterway=river in NHN, since I had already Yahoo traced all the major rivers in my area long before the NHN import had even started, and only had to bring in riverbanks from Canvec :) I'd say I'm in agreement now. Adam On Tue, Fe

Thanks for the background - that explains why some things are the way they are and some of the oddities. For connector ways, I'd estimate that 95% of them are for very small bodies of water without names or for rivers, where it does make sense to talk about the river flowing through. For the rela

Hello, I'm an employee at Winnipeg Transit, and we're trying to get our data out to as many open databases as possible, including OSM. I realize that OSM doesn't have the ability to handle timetable-level transit data like say, Google, it does have bus stops that are annotated with route number

Right, the NHN import in the area mentioned was done by MBiker. MBiker was a pretty big mapper for the Vancouver area. He started off doing lots of manual edits by biking around and gps'ing, then he got involved in the NRN road import for east GVRD, then he did NHN for the entire watershed area (08

This looks all fine to me I agree there shouldn't be a oneway=yes tag. Yeah I guess we should have simplified the NHN before importing, but anyways.. Sam I think the key to OSM is not tagging for the renderer, because many renderers are available and act differently (I guess the analogy is not deve

As an aside, the imports in the lower mainland were not done by Sam, but by mbiker. I'm not sure on the exact import process used for the NRN data. If I were to do the imports over again myself I think I'd use CanVec 7.0 which seems to have the same data but I haven't evaluated it in any detail. -

Cool, if i knew how to edit a stylesheet i would :) So t hat's fine. So perhaps then it can be all changed with a bot? ... or is it better to simply wipe my edits? The rivers (without oneway=yes tag) is available in another api, so it's no big deal. cheers, Sam On 2/22/11, Kevin Michael
