Re: [Talk-us] [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Classifying by runway length does make some sense to me, but I really have no idea how Mapnik or any other renderer works. Not sure if this would in fact be easy or not. It also means a renderer needs the runway tagged as a way or polygon in order to make a decision. What is a renderer to do wi

Re: [Talk-us] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Thanks for all the info on your experiences with GNIS imported airports, folks. I'll definitely be researching the many in my area to see if they actually exist. Also to anyone who is interested in the tagging discussion about airport sizes please join tagg...@openstreetmap.org as the discussion

I have been bringing up the meetings at the GA URISA luncheons - no one there reads the minutes or looks at the WIKI ( I asked).I would focus more on the website. Several people at the luncheons have been going there and are planning on signing up (I have the event listed on the GA URISA websit

Steve, Sorry there haven't been meetings. We have discussed it some within the OSM US board meetings. I realize this is not very a community and should be rectified. The volunteers in Georgia have a conflict with the previous meeting time. I've been handling sponsorship, we will put up a list

Hey All, We've gotten some great submissions for talks/workshops at SOTM U.S. We could still use more! Have something you'd like to talk about regarding OSM? It could be technical, community related or even an OSM comedy routine. To participate go here: http://www.sotm.us/?page_id=2 SOTM U.S.

[Talk-us] Route Relation Nitpicking

I started experimenting with rendering route shields the other day, and I figured it would be nice to use route relations as my source. The wiki says that the ref= tag on a relation should not include the network identifier[0], which makes sense, since there's a separate network tag. When I looked

Re: [Talk-us] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Another thing I noticed with the GNIS data is that it doesn't seem to distinguish between airports and helipads. There was an airport in the middle of my city and I wondered where in the world that data came from. Turns out the coordinates were off by a mile which didn't help but it is actually a h

Re: [Talk-us] [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

In my town of 6500 people the GNIS import claims there are three airports, plus one the next town over. GNIS is basically right, but the admin_level (whatever; I don't care about the name) would help a lot. We have: Minuteman Airfield, a real public-use airport for small planes. 2 runways,

Re: [Talk-us] [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Hi all, I've found many of the GNIS-imported airports in my area (central PA) to be abandoned. As Lars already mentioned, oftentimes this is easy to determine from aerial imagery. The information at http://members.tripod.com/airfields_freeman/ has also proved to be very useful, with lots o
