Hello all,
I have a question about applying the ODbL. I can take this to the legal list,
but I am hoping there is a quick and easy answer.
Some contractors working for my organisation are building a network model for
Queensland using OSM data.
The model is for routing, and has value-added

Some windmills might actually be mills? Which means they mill grain? (grind
into flour)

Following on, I should point out that Qld TMR's view of Rest Areas is that they
are a safety feature of the roads, specifically to combat fatigue, which makes
them different to camp sites.

Hi all,
What is the convention for tagging an address for a residential property in a
suburb (Coorparoo) in a city (Brisbane)?
addr:city = Brisbane
Or
addr:city = Coorparoo
Or
addr:suburb = Coorparoo
Which is best for navigation and routing?

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert the Queensland, Australia OSM roads into a GIS format (esri shape or mapinfo) using GDAL 1.10
I downloaded a .osm.pbf file for australia from http://download.geofabrik.de/australia-oceania/australia.html
I'm only really after the geometry that represents roads.
Any thoughts on whether the completed sections of the Newcastle
Inner City Bypass (now being referred to by the RMS as A37 -
Newcastle Outer Ring Road) should be classified as type Motorway …?
If they're calling it A37 then they're not calling it a motorway.
Could you just ask the
Abandoned makes it sounds like there are tracks in place for the
length of the line, just no trains running on it.
Is ruined a tag?

Hi all,
Mike from TMR got in touch with me this morning reversing his
statement about using tourist route information on local council
maps, see below. I haven't used them to add anything to OSM anyway.
Hi Wil,
Unfortunately your posting on Open Street Map has caused me some grief!
It is an interesting issue. Military bases and nuclear facilities are
often fully mapped in OSM, but often the location of many Aboriginal
carvings and sensitive areas etc, are not.
It is my understanding that for some tribes even the location of
sacred sites is only available to

It really depends on what you want to visualize. None of the
available tools give an 100% exact picture (simply because that
would have required setting up a clone of the main DB and
essentially carrying out the redaction on it). The shape files from
