Re: [Talk-GB] Vectorising StreetView buildings in Southwark

I have run a comparison with TimSC's mapseg, if anyone is interested. I think my process comes out with better results: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:TomChance/VectorisingStreetView#Comparison_with_Mapseg I'm still stumped on how to do the first part of step 4 using GDAL, mind. I've gon

[Talk-GB] Can I post about an iPhone OSM app

Greetings, I am working on an offline OSM browser for the iPhone/iPad. Do people think it would it be acceptable to post details to this list if/when it is on the App Store? I thought I should ask before posting... It is a vector based browser with on-the-fly configurable rendering for custom m

[Talk-GB] NCN numbering

Apologies for thread breakage - the otherwise excellent Nabble has fallen over. All white-on-red numbered routes are National Routes and should be tagged with ncn_ref (or the relation equivalent). This includes all the new three-figure routes. White-on-blue are Regional Routes. These are being

Re: [Talk-GB] A quick question for the cyclists

Clear as mud. I think what you are saying is that it is a regional route, and "should" therefore be an rcn, but that it will be nationally distinctive number, so you could call it an ncn. I'd probably call it an ncn, since the distinction between regional and national routes is a bit arbitrary, an

Hi Near where I live there's a small stretch (about 100m) of the roadside verge that has signs on it saying that it's a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It's only on one side of the road, and is about 0.5m wide for most of its length, widening to about 2m near one end. Looking in the Wiki (ht

It looks like 3 digit NCN "national route" references are replacing the two-digit, per-region NCN "regional routes". From http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system "For

Hi Andy, You were in the same place as me this weekend more or less!!! I recognise that. I walked from Andover to Winchester on Sunday afternoon and walked a small section of this cycle track near the Mayfly at Fullerton. You weren't in the area then? I'd just suggest ncn_ref=246. I think, rat

Re: [Talk-GB] A quick question for the cyclists

Don't worry. There are a number of three-digit national routes appearing now. That doesn't mean that there are at least 246 national routes. It's just that the numbers have a little significance in the scheme of things, like they do with road numbers. So, in short, it's NCN. > -Original Messa

[Talk-GB] A quick question for the cyclists

I was out and about at the weekend when I came across this[0] sign for a cycle route and I'm not quite sure how to tag it. I was under the impression that national routes had red backgrounds and regional/local routes had blue but it seems to be a rather large number for a national route. Can someo
