 Peter,
 This is very good, thank you - It is a nice easy check to see whether
 there are areas that need more attention.
 One thing that I would find useful would be an 'Edit' button that would
 open the same view in Potlatch2 to help correct little issues easily (like
 some of those roads with odd kinks in because I had moved a node
 accidentally etc.).


There is an easy link to OSM from a tool at the top right of the map; you
can click that and then click edit on the OSM map. Is that what you are
looking for or are you wanting a direct link to Potlatch? We do have lots
more on the way btw, including clickthroughs for individual features.

 I am pleased to be able announce that ITO Map now has a bunch of new map
 views comparing data in OSM with VectorMapDistrict. There are 7 new maps:
 two comparing roads in OSM with those in VMD (one highlighting omissions in
 VMD and the other from OSM), and also maps comparing railways, electricity,
 water, woodland and building data in the two map bases.

 The version of VMD we are using is probably not the most recent and we
 are also aware of some odd times on zoom 8. We will ensure that we using
 the latest VMD within the next few days and will be taking a look at the
 problems with zoom 8.

 In the mean time I hope it is useful.

 These maps use our new ITO Map interface with a place search and sharing
 options which we rolled out last week.

[Talk-GB] VMD - coastline comparison map on ITO Map

2012-03-17 Thread Peter Miller
I have just added a new coastline VMD comparison map to ITO Map which
focuses on high water, low water from VMD, coastline from OSM and also
tidal and non-tidal rivers.
http://www.itoworld.com/map/189

I have also made some adjustments to the VMD - Water comparison to align
the colours and symbols between the maps.

This map seems to raise some tagging issues, particularly to distinguish
between beaches which are above the high water mark and which are below
them.

These maps do not yet show areas defined using multi-polygons correctly.
Multi-polygons will be supported soon.

Peter

Are all those red squiggles on the linked to page showing the high water
mark actually static enough to map in the detail they have done? I've no
idea about coastal features like that.

Surrey and southwest London are declining

Good question.

In some places it is reasonably stable and probably worth mapping, and in
others, such as along the Suffolk coast by Felixstowe the shape often
changes significantly over only one winter.

It will certainly be worth making a quick check along many local coastlines
- For example, I have noticed that there is a point along the North Norfolk
coast where the OSM coastline abruptly changes from the high tide mark to
the low tide mark for no good reason:
http://www.itoworld.com/map/189#lat=52.923576503032216lon=1.3321496315532069zoom=16

I also note that the 'beach' tag is only recommended for use out as far as
high water (tagged with natural=coastline in OSM), but in places beaches
are shown out towards low water.

Should we may the surface (sand/mud/swamp/rocks etc) between high and low
tide? Possibly we should use natural=beach with 'tidal=yes'? Incidentally,
today I noticed that the OS 25K:1 maps show beaches, rocks etc out as far
as low water and only show sea beyond that point.
