Hi everyone, Firstly, a qualification:I've not read the Wiki on this subject, so this is simply my opinion without the support of guidelines/rules/etc. I believe, having authored/compiled some detail Magellan maps for eXplorist GPSrs this year, that more important than guidelines or rules that

Hi Everyone, I've been watching this thread, but for the most part have considered it beyond my area of expertise/experience. I do own a 4WD, but not the serious sort that might be required for some of the extreme conditions which have been described. (Okay, it's an Outback - so a decent

[talk-au] Lanes tag

2012-10-20 Thread Paul HAYDON
Hi John, It occurs to me there's at least one other case which warrants tagging the lanes - a two-way road (or section thereof) having only a single lane. I.E. when there are LESS than one in each direction, making passing difficult or unsafe at normal speeds. Any thoughts? Cheers,

Hey Ben, Nice example. I reckon it's worth mentioning the numbers at Blower's Lane (although on the opposite side of the street) - undoubtedly numbering in this fashion will assist with routing. It's probably been covered in the Wiki, and most likely in this forum previously, but worthy of

Hi Michael, Nicely documented. Much of the process (on the OSM side at least) is beyond my current experience, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. As for the alternative process you mention, would the joining of line segments be done in OSM/JOSM/etc, or elsewhere (such as QGIS)?

Hi guys, Not sure if this will be of any help - but it can't hurt, right? I've recently used Quantum GIS (QGIS) to create a region about my GPS routes so as to capture the fuel stops (for example, within 10km of my chosen path). I would think if someone could establish the coastline as a

[talk-au] REMAPPING: Shorelines on the NSW Central Coast

2012-07-22 Thread Paul HAYDON
Hi all, Can anyone give me a heads-up as to how we've traditionally sourced coastlines for OSM? Actually, if it now differs due to licensing, then the best way forward - I'd like to re-establish the shores for Tuggerah Lakes as a starting point. Cheers, Paul.

Hi Brett (et al), Firstly, this is my first post on an OSM forum, so apologies if I get anything wrong (etiquette, format, etc.). These forums are somewhat less sophisticated than others on which I've contributed. IMHO, you'll find most of the data on OSM to exhibit a car-bias - it's the
