data. You can't see them on the ground or from the air. So surely they are impossible to do without accessing government data. Russell On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 8:34 PM, Simon Poole <si...@poole.ch> wrote: > > > Am 14.12.2015 um 03:17 schrieb Russell Edwards: > > Hi, > > I

[talk-au] Importing Vicmap Lite data

2015-12-13 Per discussione Russell Edwards
Hi, I just wanted to double check before I do this as people seem to talk casually about using Vicmap Lite data but the OSM Wiki has a long process to go through with the community before doing any imports. I have downloaded "Statewide Public Land Classification boundaries, polygon - 1:250,000

Re: [talk-au] Tagging dirt and 4x4 roads - new approach

2012-12-15 Per discussione Russell Edwards
Could I ask a newbie question on this topic? I want to update some roads that are 4wd-only in certain sections. Any new approach aside, what is the best way to do this -- a) what tag do I use, and b) how do I handle the changing traversibility - separate ways linked as a route, or... ?

I guess for copyright reasons you would actually need to go and read the street signs instead of tagging out of a copyrighted book or file? Russell On 2012-11-08 00:02, wil ly wrote: Hi all, I have an angle for updating OSM. I want to find a file of all scenic drives. The ones sign posted

Maybe I'm missing something but surely it depends not only on the radius of curvature of the track but also the width of the tunnel. It has been bugging me that ways have no width in OSM. But I suppose the alternative would be very hard to manage. Secondly, even if you don't trust the path

Hi all, On this topic -- for what it's worth I have written a JOSM plugin to help with GPS accuracy in the case of having multiple tracks covering the same . You can highlight a set of GPX tracks along a straight path (or taken from a fixed position) and it will a) average them all to find

GDA94 to WGS84 is approx 45 cm from what I read but it will be affected by continental drift. GDA is fixed to points on the Australian plate so GDA coordinates will not change (much) but I guess OSM is really meant to be in WGS84. Just an update to this thread in case anyone is interested, I
