The newly developed roads he has done by survey, including street names.
I have extended and verified this coverage with the available nearmap
imagery. The same area in bing is shown as grassed paddocks. Check
around the following way and you can see the difference between
bing/nearmap for this area:

How can newly developed roads be mapped from Bing?

These current edits are of value to OSM, newly developed roads in
developing suburbs ('some of which already have people living on them').
The map looks a bit funny because what is mapped is all that is on the
ground currently. There are more roads planned which is obvious from
recent aerial imagery, even to the point of driveways being paved before
the roads however the roads are currently just dirt tracts at last view.
One comment I will make though, is that it appears from comparing your
edits with nearmap imagery of nov-2010, some new streets you mapped
continue on past the extent you mapped them. Did you consider mapping
the newer unopened streets with construction tags so theyre still
visible but unroutable?
New NearMap imagery was taken over the weekend in Canberra, so within a
week or two expect to see new high-res imagery of the new developing
suburbs and even more areas to map while our data is still of interest
to some.

[talk-au] Canberra mapping - nearly up-to-date.
OK - I've added quite a few new streets in Casey, Bonner amd Macgregor (some of which already have people living on them). There is a few other road alterations that have not yet been mapped but these are not that critical so can wait till next weekend. As usual - non trolls are welcome to let me know if I've missed anything (or made some mistakes). PS - there will be some more new roads in Casey, probably by next weekend. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
