Hi all,
Such great feedback from my latest 'rant: importing GeoBase nodes'
Thanks :)
What this did was sparked some major issues that need to be addressed.
I think this is more important, than going deeper on that rant.
I created a new wiki page Importing Government Data
-import only if it doesnt exist in the area

This chart is also a great place to show what the road signs look like

, the purpose of this note is that there are 2 forms of tagging. ..
tagging the physical natural elements, and tagging the political land
ownership.
IMO, land ownership is shown by the boundary lines, and physical elements
are shown by icons and symbols and area colours.

Thanks,
just in comparing GeoBase with TIGER, its handy to keep consistant (as
much as possable)

Hi,
if you can put the list of features along with the corrisponding OSM
tag to a wiki page, this would be helpful :)
(then i can help match features cross-check to what i have)
i'm opting NOT to use the tag geobase:reviewed=no
(perhaps someone can convince me otherwise?)
Here's why;
The default
anyway, having tags that are supposed to be used as cross-reference..
doesn't really make sense. Since this is an open street map, where anyone
who has local knowledge of how the map should be, would know better than
what the import data says.
Anyway,
Good call,
Happy Mapping

Great work Frederik thanks,
I'll also be monitoring the progress, considering the VERY high likelihood,
that tag changes will be needed for the Canada Import at some later date.

Its just we (as in the OpenStreetMap community) want to ensure that
all decisions that get made, are done done so with the best interest
of the community.
And of course, it will. :-) (even with more CM staff on board As
thats great to have)
So having representatives who are
Hi, its

line,TRAIL_USE,C,cars,yes

it takes a little trial error at 1st.
Btw, also add

hope that helps,

Or something else?

Hi,
Is anyone just simply running a country wide diff set from 2008 tiger,
and then converting the files into .osm format and simply making them
available, so local area mappers can claim their areas and copy-in
what ever they wish?

it allows cycling on different surfaces). Do we make a new render for
a 'recreational trail'?
Is there an established practice?

Hi,
If the only reason to have a local talk-list is to host mapping

Otherwise, keeping the discussion 'more open' is best. imo.

The idea for imports (of all types) is that the

But you cant print Google Maps in Books, nor can you create custom Garmin

Nor can you edit the map add more details.
