Re: [talk-au] Floodways ?
I've used waterway=drain for some of the other waterways in this area - scroll north a bit from Franc's map to see the drain that runs between Dunn Street and Topham Road. That's a real drain - even looks like the picture in the Wiki. But I assume Franc is referring to the large grassed area between the blocks of houses. They don't look like drains at all. And they are very common in the Macarthur region.

Re: [talk-au] Floodways ?
Yes, but how would you map them? The ones at Narellan are about 50 metres wide, and I know of others that are wider. Too wide for a single line like a concrete drain.

I've mapped them in the past as a single centreline, rather than trying to map the width, the width can always be tagged as natural=grass area... ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] NearMap now have OSM opaque maps as well as overlays
Actually, it's just the standard mapnik styles from the download as far as colours are concerned - we've not yet done any serious editing to it (except for hiding some overlays at some zoom levels). It doesn't look like the actual style files that the OSM site uses are available (or if they are, they're not easy to find). We will be making changes over the next few months as we tune things, though.

OSM data's in for the whole world (currently from the 17/2/10 planet file, now importing the 24/3/10 file). It looks pretty good, I like the colour scheme you've got going. Just a few things don't fit in though - highway=service is a dark grey that looks out of place, and is hard to see in PhotoMap w/StreetMap since it's a similar colour to bitumen It's also visible at lower zoom levels than highway=residential, which you can see best on the Terrain view with StreetMap. You've swapped the colours of bike paths and footpaths compared to the standard OSM Mapnik view. The colour of streams/rivers is a bit dark and not blue enough IMHO.
