[Talk-ca] How is protect_class used in Canada?

Hello neighbors to the north, I have been working to clean up and improve documentation on tagging of protected areas. I've found that in many cases the documentation on the wiki does not match how tagging is actually done in real life, so I am working to make the wiki more accurate and make the

Re: [Talk-ca] Ferry durations

There were a few that one of my colleague added yesterday (look for *_telenav user names in the metadata, example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/10853579 ) So if that completes the picture, great. If you want to check for other provinces, just repl

[Talk-ca] Ferry durations

Hi all, Just to let you know, my map team colleagues have been adding a few `duration` tags to ferry routes in BC yesterday. Since this was already established practice, I am only mentioning it now. I am crossposting to talk-us because I wanted to see if folks there have given any thought to f

[Talk-ca] OGL licenses

Hi all, I am curious what the current status is around OGL-like licenses and compatibility with ODbL / suitability for using to improve OSM. Looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada , there are quite a few region

[Talk-ca] Features for OpenStreetCam JOSM plugin?

Hi all, We’ve been steadily improving the JOSM plugin for OpenStreetCam. Recently we added the option to go to a nearby photo regardless of the trip that it’s part of. At lower zooms you can now see a line to see which ways have coverage. Also we added caching features that can be controlled u

Re: [Talk-ca] Telenav mapping turn restrictions

Yes, I agree with you, and we will keep discussing through the ‘real’ OSM channels. I don’t expect people to sign up for Github. I see it more as a public way for us to track our mapping projects, so that everyone can see what’s going on and respond there if they choose to. I definitely don’t se

Re: [Talk-ca] Telenav mapping turn restrictions

James — Thanks. This means that at the very least we need to check on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis if these turns are allowed or not. Just as a data point, Google maps won’t let you make that turn either [1]. That’s not to argue that I am right in any way, just to show that false assum

Re: [Talk-ca] Telenav mapping turn restrictions

Hi all, Thanks for your thoughtful commentary. First off, our mapping team’s only objective is to improve the map for us and for everyone. In doing this we always respect the work of local mappers, and follow community conventions. None of our edits are automated. There is a person using JOS
