So, after doing this manually for a bit; it's generally working well. There are some where spot checking against other sources suggests the dataset is wrong, how do you suggest we indicate these?
I've put in NOTE or FIXME on the relevant way. The thing that is troubling me is the size of the dataset - a few hours work barely makes a dent. I've taken to deleting all Primary/Trunk, Secondary and Track ways from the data set; and then cropping stuff down to the metro adelaide area; and it's still very sizable. I'd be *really* keen on maproulette at this point - you seem to be able to produce updated files fairly regularly, adding a few bash scripts to turn that into curl friendly statements seems achievable. Going to start sending a few pull requests your way to get us started on this. On Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 11:23 AM, Henry Haselgrove <haselgr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well spotted, Alex.
