Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

Town-centre blitzes can lead to out-of-date data very quickly. Town centre data is better to have in OSM if it has maintainer(s). Jerry acknowledged this, but I still would like to register a concern about that! Best Dan 2016-09-13 18:31 GMT+02:00 Paul Berry : > +1 for the

Re: [Talk-GB] Users tagging Farmyard as place=farm (Was Summer quarterly project)

I noticed via overpass-turbo there's quite a lot of place=farm to the north of Dundee, which seem to have all been added by the same person. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/inl Many of them have the place=farm node on top of an unnamed farmyard way, for example:

Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

+1 for the town centre blitzing. Even well-mapped city centres change all the time (shops opening and closing for one) and there are plenty of examples of places you'd think would have more detail than they actually do (eg Leeds is still pretty poorly mapped for POI and businesses, despite my best

[Talk-GB] Quarterly Project International Collaboration

Hi everyone Manfred Reiter has contacted me with the idea of running some quarterly projects in collaboration with the German Community. Currently this is just bluesky thinking. What do folk think about this? There are many different ways of organising this. regards Brian

Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

I'd vote for fhrs:id as the next project. I'm about half way through for my LA. (I also like Greg's trigpoint database.) It's worth noting that Greg's site is primarily to use the fhrs database for the addition of postcodes/addresses, not the ID's themselves. For instance, it doesn't update

Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

The idea of adding opening hours and lots of fhrs data to existing OSM data is not one I personally find attractive. But I do like Jerry's idea of blitzing town centres that are poorly mapped. Our own experience in mappamercia recently in Kidderminster where we had a summer Saturday mapping

There are loads all across Herefordshire, mostly added by one user. Generally they are farms, but not always. I'm gradually replacing them withlanduse=farmyard polygons Regards Brian On 13 September 2016 at 13:29, Dave F wrote: > Hi > Off on a slight tangent. > >

Re: [Talk-GB] Users tagging Farmyard as place=farm (Was Summer quarterly project)

I corrected a couple the other day. One labelled place=farm cannot have been a farm for a hundred years or more, just retaining "Farm" in the name. It is in the urban part of Oakham, and is now a family house with a large garden. In general place=farm & place=isolated_dwelling can be regarded as

Hi Off on a slight tangent. There's been an increase (world wide) in the use of place=farm. If you fill out the boxes on this site you'll see: http://taghistory.raifer.tech/ Over 19k are in GB: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/place=farm The reason for the increase could be it being

Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

My comments on both suggestions: - Speed Limits: a little bit boring, *BUT *there are some relatively achievable targets. For instance getting all primary & trunk roads with speed limits. There are areas of the country where none of these roads have limits, but even in well mapped
