Re: [talk-au] Blocks of land - residential housing
Just on this, can someone please explain why if I search 45 Wharf Street Forster, the result I get back is 45, Wharf Street, Forster Keys, Forster, 2428, Australiahttp://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=152.50084899902minlat=-32.190236816406maxlon=152.52086425781maxlat=-32.170233001709 Where does it get Forster Keys from? That's an adjacent suburb to the south.

I can't find anything definitive, and most of the common methods such as landuse=residential is set aside for large scale areas (which is correct IMO). I ensure the residential area doesn't cross any roads. ie. just the block. eg. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.062412lon=151.1523zoom=18layers=M I do this because it is more accurate. The road isn't residential and so shouldn't be covered by the area. It is a lot simpler that way, because it is very easy to exclude the corner shop, which is landuse=retail, or the park on the corner. Tracing the building, or even just a center point node, you can add the type of building as apartment, house, cabin etc. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Not really, depending on the size you still get a kind of kink in the border where cutting short the bay would otherwise give a straight segment.

Hey Ben, Nice example. I reckon it's worth mentioning the numbers at Blower's Lane (although on the opposite side of the street) - undoubtedly numbering in this fashion will assist with routing. It's probably been covered in the Wiki, and most likely in this forum previously, but worthy of pointing out again, nonetheless. Great job! Cheers,Paul.

Re: [talk-au] National borders
Hi Michael, Nicely documented. Much of the process (on the OSM side at least) is beyond my current experience, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. As for the alternative process you mention, would the joining of line segments be done in OSM/JOSM/etc, or elsewhere (such as QGIS)? If the latter, then perhaps just process in QGIS as you have to date? I don't know if it will be of any assistance, but here is an article I bookmarked some months back when I was joining lines in QGIS to generate ocean polygons for my custom GPS maps (it utilises GRASS):http://spatialguru.com/line_to_polygons_grass_in_qgis Hope it helps. Cheers,Paul.

Re: [talk-au] Talk-au Digest, Vol 63, Issue 28
Hi Paul, The interpolation way opposite Blows Lane is split (see break from 25-27 at level 18). The walkway there is an open footpath between two distinct properties, whereas the walkway marked opposite Commonwealth Bank is actually an indoor arcade (needs better tagging e.g. covered) and hence I did not split the numbering here because the arcade itself is a property with its own number. There's some strangeness with the nominatim search results and the way it confuses the town/suburb/village John Henderson is on the right track - it's something to do with the Town/Suburb/Village hierarchy. I suspect it's a Nominatim issue. It's probably less noticeable in a metropolitan area where everything is a suburb. BJ On 23/09/2012, at 11:30 AM, Paul HAYDON wrote: Hey Ben, Nice example.
