Looking at my local map in Orleans Ontario noticed that Merkley Drive
does not connect up to Charlemagne. Merkley Drive is tagged
Geobase_import_2009 and all sorts of interesting things. Charlemagne
is just tagged potlach and residential road.
Is there an easy way to extend Merkley Drive so it
Hi,
just use potlatch connect the roads. No harm done :-)
The OSM changeset history keeps track of attribution and such.
If you want a copy of where the geobase version of that road is, i can
provide that.
The system that imported the roads didnt want to interfeer with what
work previous
Yes I'm new and my background is red tape. I understand there is a
lot going on and I appreciate the work that has been done.
My background is in databases etc. If you ask clients what they want
they always rate reliability above anything else. To me the data from
geobase is good high quality

OK accepting what you say is there a way to
identify where an old OSM road was so that some one can go back and
clean up the new geobase added data? Connect the roads and insert road
sections that have been deleted? I think Toronto organised something
that recognised the quality of the data by

Actually it's more like the opposite. The old OSM road gets priority,
In JOSM, another way to quickly add on to a way like that is to use the
select tool to select the way you will be adding on to, holding the shift
(or control) key, selecting the last node in the way, then use the draw
(add) tool to continue drawing the way. By default, in JOSM, if you have a

I found both James's and Sam's comments very
useful. It gives me a much clearer idea of what you are trying to do
and the limitations involved. It would appear that we have the ability
to identify roads omitted from the geobase import which means at some
point in time given enough resources a
Hi John,
I personally think it would be better to do the cleanup immediately
after the import, or possible during the import. Of course it is very
tedious to do so, and it will slow down the import, but the person who
is doing the import, knows best which roads were omitted. The goal is
not
The difficulty with this approach is people keep adding data. Which
is fine if its high quality but where people are doing tracing on
lower quality data you end up with a mess. I think you have to accept
that with the OSM approach the data will be of variable quality. Even
