[Talk-us] Road Restriction: No RV's?

Is there a tag equivalent for a road restriction that would imply no Recreational Vehicles/Motor Homes/Buses? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Thanks, I'll go with your suggestion. We only have a few miles of roads that are no RV, but when they end up on them, huge disaster! Imagine backing up a 40 ft RV 6 miles up a narrow mountain road! -Original Message- From: Jason Remillard [mailto:remillard.ja...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday,

[Talk-us] GNIS?

2013-06-16 Thread Thomas Colson
Is it preferable to keep the original GNIS tags if updating a GNIS object in OSM? E.g. updating say the location and elevation, everything else is the same. In context, GNIS mountain is here, but really it's there (which is usually the case for GNIS). Or, just leave the GNIS object alone, and

Hi Thomas, I don't know if we/OSM have a policy for dealing with the gnis imported data. I have been deleting all of the gnis tags except gnis:feature_id. The justification for deleting them is that given the gnis:feature_id and its position, the rest of the tags can be recreated from original

We're using Lidar (+/- 19 cm vertical precision) and/or OPUS GPS for elevations of highest point as determined by zonal statistics, or the brass disc found on many peaks. On that note, though, while preserving the tags, if you modify the elevation, do you keep the GNIS source date? From: Mike

The wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GNIS) doesn't mention source date, but it does mention: - gnis:created = *MM/DD/ when the GNIS entry was created * * * I presume that source date is the date of the export from the GNIS which was then imported to OSM. Might be useful if

BTW, for most peaks are there not official elevations? The National Geodetic Survey maintains a datasheet for each benchmark, including those on peaks (http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_radius.prl). The datasheet lists the official elevation. Much easier, although less fun, than summit each

For bench marked peaks, we stick with the NGS-published elevation, which I believe most of them have been converted to the latest and greatest Geoid model. However, we do have a lot of GNIS peaks that aren't bench marked. For some (the ones the peak baggers blog about), we send up a team with a
