Re: [Talk-GB] UK Quarterly Projects

A while back I played with trying to create watersheds using available OSM data. Each group of waterways which interconnect (note I used st_intersects() on osm2pgsql data, not the true topological relations in way_nodes) is given a different colour. The map gives a

Thanks Brian, I've also put this on Loomio [1] because at some stage we will need to decide and I find it difficult to interpret messages on talk-gb which often provide some pro, some cons but then don't say yes/no clearly enough to judge opinion. For those interested, the healthcare data is all

Re: [Talk-GB] Pubs as areas: should be map the property or the building?

I'd argue all approaches can be considered correct from the wiki: "Add a node at the centre of the pub and add amenity=pub to it. ... If the whole building is used for this feature and its footprint is present in OSM, you can apply the tags on the area if you prefer." Area obviously applies to

For the quarterly project, would you say that we're looking for something that does all of the following?: * include/attract lots of people * improve the UK map in either accuracy or coverage * attract outside attention * be sort-of interesting to us On Sun, 13 Mar 2016 at 17:33 Brian Prangle

Re: [Talk-GB] Pubs as areas: should be map the property or the building?

Can I make a plea to keep away from using landuse polygons for this, as SK53 suggested in the original post? In town centres, pubs are often just a "shop" in a row of shops; they are therefore already in a landuse=retail polygon. Having to have an island of landuse=retail within the larger retail

Re: [Talk-GB] Pubs as areas: should be map the property or the building?

I normally plot and tag a pub building as an area. I've noticed a few points appearing for existing pubs. They may be coming from the new OSM online editing programs. On Fri, 11 Mar 2016 at 22:48, Neil Matthews wrote: > It's not my preferred style -- I prefer to draw the
