The NY GIS/SIG conference is being held on April 12th, 2016 in
Rochester, NY.
The conference organizers are interested in building a strong
OSM/OpenData/OpenSource
track and broadening the audience to include the OSM community.
the call for papers will go out after Thanksgiving and i'll forward
Just a heads up...
There's a bit of a discussion going on at the moment as to whether it
makes sense to store SI units (or actually a derivative - metric tons)
in maxweight tags. I noticed a few changes (initially to other values
in the UK), and commented on
Hi all,
We have created a new tool in the footsteps of the missing roads tool, this
time focusing on wrong and missing oneway ways. There is more info in my

Please let me know if you find it useful! Send me examples of interesting

My view is that this isn't much different than speed limits. We don't
tag maxspeed=96.5606, we tag maxspeed=60 mph. Tag what's on the sign.
The complicating factor on this is of course that "ton" has at least 3
different meanings but I would generally assume that weight
