Thanks to Sam for pointing out this page:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tshirt_competition

Also Harvey Norman via fujifilmimagine.com will do full colour
printing on shirts for $30 and you get free delivery to your nearest
store, which seems to be the best full colour printing deal to me
without a lot of volume.
  

You can also buy a special "Iron-On Transfer" paper at specialist paper
supply shops, and print your own design, using any standard inkjet
printer. Works really well, as long as you remember to mirror-reverse
any text. Works out at a couple of dollars per transfer, and is a great
way to test out prototype designs.

I thought that the transfers don't last very long?

There is some cheap screen printing methods if you want to save some $$$

Re: [talk-au] Australian Coastline

2010-05-25 Thread Markus
Are you able to explain how to check easily with JOSM if part of the
coastline is missing?

With reading about all the rendering problems with coastline not being a
continuous polygon a relation seemed the best way.  

2 other reasons for a coastline relation.

1) I was also planning to use the relations in for the maritime borders as
the baseline as per my original email that no one commented on.

2) Consistent naming of coastline per state for boating with only the name
needing to be in the relation. 
 


 
With creating the  relations I decided to make a coastline relation per
state to cut down on the amount needed to download for a specific state.

Error checking doesn't seem to me to be a good idea to use relations,
JOSM has a validation checker that should be used for this kind of
thing.

 I also plan to add some coastline national parks that are split at the
 coastline and plan to use the relations for checking my work.

Add a relation if you have a valid reason to use one, like sharing a
boundary between sections of land based national park and marine park,
but using a relation for error checking seems wrong to me.

JOSM often complains too much about missing or lacking coastlines...

 With reading about all the rendering problems with coastline not being a
 continuous polygon a relation seemed the best way.

Coastlines should be a polygon, but can't be for various reasons, such
as a 2000 node limit.

 1) I was also planning to use the relations in for the maritime borders as
 the baseline as per my original email that no one commented on.

Maritime borders are 12nm out to sea, not along the coastline.

Why do coastline segments have names?

You still haven't explained how to check the whole coastline is joined with
JOSM. You mensioned JOSM has a validation checker that should be used for

The maritime borders are 12nm out to sea from the coastline. See below link.

They are reasonably durable if they are hand washed rather than machine
washed. My wife has some personalised Bonds Cottontails that are now
about 2 years old and still looking good.

Click to display the validation plugin panel or press Alt+Shift+V then
click on the validate button, make sure nothing is selected or only
the selection with be validated, you could make things a little more
specific by first searching for natural=coastline segments.

 The renders I create for Garmin Mapsource has problems if the coastline
 isn't joined.

So does mapnik, but they cheated to get round most problems by
creating a shape file first.

 The 2000 node limit for polygons is documented to be over come by using a
 relation.

Which was made redundent by creating shape files from the coastline
segments before relations existed, although this is probably still a
lot more useful.

 The maritime borders are 12nm out to sea from the coastline. See below link.

Yes, but coastlines should be much less nodes otherwise you start
hitting problems similar to those in the Philippines...

There doesn't seem to be much point looking at opening_hours=*

The whole section of road would need to have the direction of the way
in the same direction so you could make simple references to
forward/backward.

After that it comes down to making stuff up and see how much flak you
cop on the tagging list :D

Since you didn't mention a starting time, I'm going to assume midnight.

David, as a local resident I can tell you the Southern Expressway is 
never dual-way. In between the one-way periods, it's closed for changeover 
(access=no), while operators review video cameras covering the whole length to 
ensure no vehicles remain on the road.

Also, it's not just weekends but also public holidays which use the reversed 
pattern.

oneway:reverse=Mon-Fri 14:00-00:30; Sat-Sun+Hol 02:00-12:30

I dont live in the area, and only found the way due to its funny tagging
(ie. 'How on earth do i tag this'), hence why I threw the query out to
the mailing list for any advice on how to fix the situation.

 Also, it's not just weekends but also public holidays which use the
