Update: When I go to the live slippy map and look at the piece that was deleted I see someone added a boundary relation. So the piece is still there, but JOSM wants to remove it. Totally confused.. Andy Andrew Ayre wrote: > Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way, but I am about re

[Talk-us] Frustrated

Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way, but I am about ready to give up. I started uploading the forest boundaries for Arizona using JOSM. Working well so far. However I saw that I made a mistake with one of the tags. So now I started re-uploading all my data using my original OSM files

Re: [Talk-us] Mapping of State/county/national parks

Does boundary=national_park have nothing to do with US National Parks? I.e. it's just a park at the national level? Andy Tyler wrote: > Just tagging the underlying landtypes and uses is fine (aside from most > of them not being natural) but doesn't at all account for the difference > between s

Hi Apollinaris, They are on the same level. The north-south alignment of the street was changed at an intersection. Here is a screen shot: http://files.britishideas.com/public/mapping/staggered.jpg Andy Apollinaris Schoell wrote: > not sure if I understand correct. by staggered do you mean the

Re: [Talk-us] Fixing Alignments in JOSM

Hi Dave, It is the node at 32.2289, -110.8667, although there are lots of these "minor" issues. It's the North-South way that needs to be staggered. Thanks! Andy Dave Hansen wrote: > On Tue, 2009-06-23 at 11:57 -0700, Andrew Ayre wrote: >> So I need to split the North-S

[Talk-us] Fixing Alignments in JOSM

I'm not sure if I can clearly explain my problem, but I'll try. The tiger street alignments are a mess in my area and I'm trying to fix them. I will come across a situation where there is a North-South way that crosses an East-West way. Thet are joined with a common node. However in reality it

Re: [Talk-us] National Atlas

OK, I have the data in JOSM in the WGS84 projection as a GPX file. I converted the GPX layer to a data layer. I then zoomed in to one small distinct piece and selected all the nodes. Next I went to the menu and choose Forest and entered a name for this piece (Coronado National Forest). However

[Talk-us] National Atlas

Hi, I see the National Atlas has a shapefile download for Federal lands. I'm interested in getting the National forests in Arizona into OSM, but the data sets I've found so far are crude. This one has good detail IIRC. I can't find licensing information for this government site. Is all US Gove

[Talk-us] TIGER Data in Wrong Place

Hi! When I load OSM data into my GPS unit using mkgmap for a place in the UK then it is accurate. When I load OSM data for Tucson, Arizona then it is off by perhaps 100ft. I would like to make the maps for Tucson usable, so my questions are: - how do I tell where this problem begins and ends
