Glad you like it Tony. Thanks, I have standardised those nodes as advised. This is what I was after the data for, it's another attempt to visualise the border, it's a map of the border crossings (from OSM) which allows you to view the crossing with StreetView.
http://stuff.vool.ie/border/ While I am on here, while I was looking for a data set of the crossings I came across a resource from the Ordnance Survey: https://data.gov.ie/dataset/border-exits-entrances-osi-national-1m-map-of-ireland Is it just me or are the majority of the locations off ? I have stuck a quick map together comparing the 2 data sets: http://stuff.vool.ie/border_osm_vs_osi/ Keith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Discussion of OpenStreetMap in Ireland" To: Cc: Sent:Sat, 6 Oct 2018 18:38:51 +0100 Subject:Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Irish Border Crossing points Fascinating video Keith! And mesmerising I had to laugh when I saw the brief "no imagery exists at this zoom level" message, somewhere around the Monaghan border I think. re: naming convention, I would be inclined to go for the more generic "Border NI/ROI"m unless it is clear that the border crossing mane is itself a specific name that would be used locally, in which case provide name=Border NI/ROI and name_2=[the other name]. N1/A1 crossings aren't particularly noteworthy to need spelling out, and clearly they are not using a terminology that could be expanded to the other crossings (far too many without road numbers, etc). Thats' my opinion anyway. -- Tony Furnell On Fri, 5 Oct 2018 at 13:02, wrote: > Send Talk-ie mailing list submissions to > talk-ie@openstreetmap.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-ie-requ...@openstreetmap.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-ie-ow...@openstreetmap.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk-ie digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
