Re: [talk-au] Nearmap Coverage
I am pretty sure they have not flown Ballarat yet. I haven't seen any forum posts or twitter updates about Ballarat, but it would be nice since the Bacchus Marsh area imagery (which unfortunately is quite cloudy in places) misses Ballarat by about 10km. I've been keeping track and updating the wiki page, and this is the current backlog of imagery being processed: Gosford, New South Wales (I assume this is all of the Central Coast) Newcastle, New South Wales Ballerat (sic), Victoria (Added by John but don't know where his source of info is) Anglesea, Victoria (Should cover Torquay as well and maybe down to Lorne and further) Kyneton, Victoria (Should fill the gap between Bendigo and Woodend) I'm quite interested to know what areas NearMap are keen on flying next (I should say we all are!)

Great work … then the Central Coast and Newcastle wud be real nice. J Like Ballerat they have announced they took imagery so I can only assume they are still processing it. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I'm quite interested to know what areas NearMap are keen on flying next (I should say we all are!) They keep information like this close to their chest, I don't remember them announcing the Bacchus Marsh imagery being active, so I'm not sure if there is other announcements that have been overlooked... ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] Coomera Mapping Party is next weekend (Sat 15th May @ 09:00)
Hi everyone, This is just a quick email to let everyone know that the next Brisbane OSM Meetup is at Coomera on Saturday the 15th of May. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to come, especially new mappers. We will meet up at the Coomera BP around 9:00 - 9:30 to plan our mapping, map until 13:00 when we will have lunch at the Boardwalk Tavern on Hope Island. Please feel free to bring your laptops to the lunch event if you want to learn how to use JOSM/Potlatch/Meerkator or have any other OSM mapping questions. I'm sure we'll be able to help. You don't even have to map on the day if you don't want to, just turn up for lunch. For more details on the event, please visit http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Coomera_Mapping_Party_May_2010. If you plan to attend please let me know by Wed 12th May so I can make sure we have enough seats for lunch. - David (please let me know if you don't want these emails in future) -- David Dean Post-Doctoral Fellow, RP-SAIVT, QUT (me) http://www.davidbdean.com (saivt) http://www.bee.qut.edu.au/projects/saivt/ (post) Room S1101, GPO Box 2434, Brisbane, Australia 4001 (p) +61 7 3138 1414 (m) 0407 151 912 (CRICOS) 00213J ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Can't wait until the French train lines are complete. The nearest thing to an SNCF map on the web is shite: http://www.bonjourlafrance.com/france-map/sncf-map-large.htm (And no, even the SNCF doesn't seem to publish one.) A second thought: it would be nice to have a standard collection of the major map styles, to instantly generate this kind of map for wherever. Obvious candidates: - Driving - Cycling - Hiking/mountain biking - Public transport - Other networks (power, trucking...)
