Hi Andrew,
looking nice. I'll try to follow your suggestion for a pull request to
add the walk around Narrabeen Lake.

Cheers,
Seb

Most of the route geometries have come from OpenStreetMap, the

along the walk from OpenStreetMap and the search uses names of
features near the walk from OpenStreetMap.

Re: [talk-au] Bushwalking site using OSM

[Andrew Harvey]

Thanks for the feedback, Graeme.

I haven't done all the walks myself, and that's certainly not a
pre-requisite to add new ones. The walks themselves are maintained at
https://gitlab.com/beyondtracks/beyondtracks-walks

Although we have route=hiking relations in OSM, that's only for well
established, well defined and verifiable routes. While that works well for
some areas, many others the route itself is subjective, so I maintain it
all outside of OSM. I'm still working out the best way to streamline this
and finding the right balance between pulling information from OSM and
maintaining subjective information outside OSM.

Some of the ones I have added based pre-existing paths in OSM where I
haven't been there, I've found when I later visit, I made a few mistakes in
determining the best route, so I've had to fix things up. I think that's
okay, but just tells me it will be higher quality with on the ground
experience.

You're welcome to contribute to the walks either by adding a new issue
https://gitlab.com/beyondtracks/beyondtracks-walks/issues with details of
the walk or going in and creating the .osm file and creating a merge
request on gitlab.

Everything is in place to expand more interstate.

I do plan on adding photo locations to the map, and also some way of
showing the photo location when viewing the photo. But you're right, that
one is over the Wollondibby Creek, it's only new as it doesn't show up in
the aerial photos and I only just added it to OSM.

I added live bushfire incidents and beach water quality as I think these
are useful for bushwalkers. I want to expand the coverage to include other
states that publish this as open data, which QLD does, but since every
state does their own thing, it's a bit of work to unify them all. I will
probably add road closures too, but that's less of an immediate priority.

Looks good Andrew.

Are these all walks that you've done yourself, or have you sourced info
from elsewhere?

Obviously NSW-centric. Any plans to expand interstate?

A couple of thoughts.

Any way of linking the photo's to the map? eg the cute little bridge on the
Hatchery Link walk https://www.beyondtracks.com/walks/-/hatchery-link/
I assume that it crosses Wollondibby Creek but any way of showing where the
shot was taken?

I like the fire warnings on the main map - could that be expanded to show
general road closures as well? eg the current state of Qld roads!
https://qldtraffic.qld.gov.au/

Thanks Dion.

I'm still working out which components I want to open source.

In the mean time I do have a blog at https://tech.beyondtracks.com/ next
post will be about the map.

Re: [talk-au] Bushwalking site using OSM

I just launched a new map based on OSM data
https://www.beyondtracks.com/map/

It aims to show much more detail at low zoom levels compared to most OSM
map styles out there.

[talk-au] Bushwalking site using OSM

[Andrew Harvey]

I just wanted to share a project I've been working on recently, which
provides bush walking information, mainly in NSW.

http://beyondtracks.com/

Most of the route geometries have come from OpenStreetMap, the
basemaps are using OpenStreetMap, I've pulled in points of interest
along the walk from OpenStreetMap and the search uses names of
features near the walk from OpenStreetMap.
