[Talk-ca] Medicine Hat, Alberta

2013-01-26 Thread leuty
Hello Canadian Community, bonjour

While fixing connectivity errors using maproulette I found the following
location in Medicine Hat, Alberta, CA.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.06165lon=-110.69818zoom=16layers=M

The streets mapped by user Yorii are done in a very strange way (not
connected, messed up connection of other roads). IMHO this seems a bit
like someone was toying around with an editor or the redaction bot
messed it up (who knows). Since they don't have a source=* tag I don't
know where the info of their existence comes from.

Bing imagery in this region was taken on 2010-06-23 and the streets were
added on 2011-07-15. Consequently, it could very well be that they were
built after Bing img was taken. It is hard for me to verify this form my
armchair in Switzerland and I already contacted the user Yorii, but he
didn't respond and made his last edit a year ago.

Is there newer Imaginary available for this region? Or is anybody living
there who could go out and verify their existence?

Thanks and again: Sorry if I make false acquisitions, this is not my
intention. I just want to fix it..

yours sincerely, bien cordialement

Leuty

The same user made up entire towns in Saskatchewan snd elsewhere. As soon as 
legit editors started calling him out he quit.

Safe to say it is vandalism and can be easily removed.

[Talk-ca] Dev. App. OSM vs. Blackberry

2013-01-26 Thread Bruno Remy
Bonjour,

C'est un peu off-topic puisque non spécifique au Canada (bien que
Blackberry soit canadienne :-)... Mais partant du fait qu'il y a un fort
développement des app. pour Blackberry en ce moment (préparation pour la
nouvelle plateforme BB10) y-a-t-il des développements pour des app. OSM à
tout le moins pour la consultation (comme OSMand pour Android) même si ce
n'est pas pour l'édition?

[Talk-ca] Lake Winnipeg

2013-01-26 Thread Sam Dyck
Hi

A while back I changed tagged the southern half of Lake Winnipeg as
natural=coastline so it will appear on all levels of the map. Per the
suggestion of someone on this list, I kept the old water multipolygon so
that it would not disappear until the next coastline update. It is now
disappearing from the map, see http://osm.org/go/Wp9lapp--
Can someone suggest a way to stop this?

I just took a look, and the relation was broken in two places. One of the
ways on the outer edge was missing, as was about half of one of the inner
islands. I added the necessary ways back into the relation, so it should
render properly now.

Thanks. I thought I had everything covered, but I suppose I should have
double checked.

Relation Analyzer from OSM France is a good tool to validate if the polygon is 
closed once you have finished editing such relation.
