[OSM-talk-ie] Fortnight of....

2016-02-05 Thread osmie
Hello again, I am relatively new OSM editing and new to the list. I wonder if there are any mapping projects happening in Ireland like the "Fortnight of" or "month of" mapping efforts where it is nominated for 2 weeks people would make an effort to add to the map a specific type of information

I was hoping to open source an iOS app to the github page at some stage which would show and warn you when driving in a speed camera zone. It would be pulling the data from OSM… if it was there… That’s not a huge project but requires both the zone and the maxspeed to be available for it to work

I looked at this a few years ago and started some work. I was interested in using OSMAND as the app for android as it has inbuilt support and a sat nav. I manually mapped a few zones and was waiting for OSMAND to update their data. I also manually took the start and end locations of zones, mostly o

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, We haven't done any of those targeted editing things in the past. Although since the UK and Belgium are doing a "Schools quarterly project", I'm looking at schools at the moment (as you can tell from the emails). I like the idea of those projects

What about a month of pubs ? I was trying to do something with these a while back and was surprised at how many were missing. Surely this should be priority #1 in for an Irish OSM group :) Keith On 05/02/16 11:27, os...@tutanota.com wrote: Hello again, I am relatively new OSM editing and

I tried getting info from the Guards last year at some stage and got zero response. The zones also changed this year so they require updating manually anyway to bypass the lag that will inevitably happen if we are looking for official data. They are actually easy to map but it’s just getting pe

I don't really think that temporary or even fixed speed camera zones or speed traps should be mapped. However, I'm very much in favour of getting all permanently marked speed zones (signposts) mapped and into OSM. I find Mapillary ( http://www.mapillary.com/ ) to be a great tool for doing th
