Re: [Talk-ca] Callsigns...

Well the first challenge would be putting multiple tags on the same way. Personally I would create multiple relations using the same way, each relation having one call-sign. I have heard other people suggest separating values with commas but I don't like that idea because if for example you want

You are lucky then. Just the other day Saint John area got updated with stuff from late 2012. its great that they are getting around to updating it but the imagery is more oblique than vertical making it very difficult to trace. As well they are really low quality compared to their predecessors.

That's typically what I do as well. I've noticed the same problem throughout much of the canvec data I've worked with. Cheers, ingalls On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 11:26 PM, Sam Dyck samueld...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I'm currently working on importing Canvec tile 063I05. I noticed that the islands

Re: [Talk-ca] Sidewalks

2013-02-01 Thread nicholas ingalls
My personal preference is to enable the JOSM sidewalk style and then use the sidewalk:right sidewalk:left, sidewalk:both, or sidewalk:none tags on the actual street. The footpaths are just about useless (as in the example above) as they are not related to the street in anyway. So the routing

What is the official word on the practice of checking non-approved data sources, not for inclusion in OSM, but to ensure what is being included is correct? That is honestly a good question! I guess to me this would be a bit of a grey area, nowhere is the practice explicitly mentioned. I agree

Yeah I did a bit more research afterwards to double check, including going and getting gps more gps traces and the current (Bing) imagery appears to be dead on. I also checked it with some centre lines from another data source (Not importing just to check the imagery) and they also verified that

[Talk-ca] Fredericton Open Data

I've been looking around to find out the status of the Fredericton Open Data page but have only been able to dig up an old conversation saying the license was incompatible but the city was considering modifying the terms. Did anything come of this? Most of the links in the thread were broken so I

Hello all, I've been recently drawing all of the buildings in Fredericton in preparation for going around and collecting the addresses. I'd noticed that all the buildings in Fredericton were offset. Naturally I assumed that the original mappers in Fredericton had done this offset on purpose. I

Hey all, I'm going to be heading to Grand Manan for a bit of a vacation in the coming weeks. I was in the process of downloading the data that we have when I noticed that the coastlines are a complete mess. Most of the small islands around Grand Manan are flooded, and Grand Manan itself as
