[talk-au] Suburb boundaries

2009-12-22 Thread John Smith
While adding postcodes it looks like some people have incorrectly joined boundaries together, to make a single way for a stream/road etc, this has broken suburb boundaries in various areas. I emailed Franc the other day for a copy of osm files converted from the original shape file, but in the

2009-12-22 Thread John Smith
Doesn't anyone disagree with using admin_level=7 to cover things like metro/regional boundaries, this could include things like the limit of cities, eg metro areas of Sydney/Melbourne, not just the suburbs of Sydney/Melbourne? It could also cover regions like the Sunshine Coast in Qld, the

An easy routable OSM source is http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php Once you've selected your tile(s) you get emailed a link where to download the file from with a choice of installation possibilities - VERY COOL. The map tiles are far from perfect and update is monthly (I think). John

Not all the img files you'll find lying around are routable. Some are, some aren't. As Matt said, some of the ones on the OSM Australia are, but not all. There are other sources as well - see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download for a partial list. (Check the routable

One possible approach to this that I believe will solve the more general case of this is the ability to move selected items to a new layer, which you can then hide cheers On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Steve Bennett stevag...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 9:31 PM, John Smith
