That's one reason I don't live in Sydney any more, when ever there is a major event half the city gets shut down, thankfully I missed out on APEC I bet that was a major pain in the butt. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Don't take this as a complaint, because what you guys have done is amazing, but it's a tad strange that the imagery doesn't cover the main CBD. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] NearMap PhotoMap imagery for OSM
Hi guys, My names Alex and I work at Nearmap. I'm responsible for the Javascript browser application so I can only answer a sub set of all the questions I see here on the mailing list. I'll have to pass some of the salesy type ones onto someone else. In the areas we fly, we normally have images up to zoom level 21 or 22. In some very rare areas we do return images at levels higher than this (e.g. Perth CBD). The browser application @ www.nearmap.com allows you to zoom into level 24 on all areas. It does this by scaling the images up from a lower level on the client side. So if you can zoom into level 24 it doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to request images from level 24 in your plugins. I hope that helps some of you guys. I'm really excited that the OSM community has got on board and already given us heaps of great feedback that we're busily trying to schedule into our release plans :) David Dean wrote: > > This pseudo-wms (or whatever we are calling it) doesn't appear to zoom in > as far as the NearMap data allows.

The Melbourne survey wasn't flown with precision GPS due to a fault, but it shoudl still be within 5m or so absolute."

Select the node where you want to split the way, if the node is on more than one way (ie intersection) then you have to select the way as well. Then Tools-->Split Way or hit P Then remove the relation from the section where it's not required. -- Cheers Ross ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I can't seem to find out where I can do this in the JOSM interface? All the selection options just give me the entire Pacific Highway (37 nodes) selection or the entire Military Road selection. >> Another problem I just recently discovered is Robsons Rd, Keiraville, >> NSW is duplicated.
