Re: [Talk-ca] GPS and Motorway links ...

2014-01-12 Thread Harald Kliems
Some updates on this issue:

I contacted Martijn a while ago with the suggestion of running this as a
Maproulette. He liked the idea but I haven't heard back in a while. He also
asked me how many cases we're talking about and based on the Overpass query
mentioned upthread I came to the conclusion that the number is actually not
that high (maybe 400 cases in all of Canada at the most). Therefore I've
started fixing the issue manually and already cleaned up all of Quebec. It
took me several hours, but that's partly because you always discover other
issues to take care of as you go along (e.g. missing motorway_junction,
name vs. exit_to on those junctions etc.).

I'll continue working on this in Ontario now and I encourage others to go
ahead in the other provinces, too. Just run
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1CIon the appropriate bounding box and then
go through each of the spots that
come up. If there is hi-res Bing imagery available the fix will be obvious;
and if not common sense should still tell you if a segment is oneway=yes or
oneway=no. I have added a oneway tag to every motorway_link segment, both
to avoid any misunderstanding with the default and to allow me to track the
progress on the Overpass map.

Cheers,
 Harald.

 About all motorway_link in Canada are having the same problem!

 I don't know, I rarely encounter this issue in practice. Adding oneway=no
 to all motorway_link seems rather dangerous and counterproductive. The best
 solution would probably be to create a query that will find all imported
 motorway_link that have not been touched since the import and then check
 them. Depending on how big the task is we could ask Martijn to set it up as
 a Maproulette (http://maproulette.org/). Or we set up a wiki page to
 coordinate people going through all the motorways/exits and make sure
 everything is okay by hand. There are only 33 Autoroutes in Quebec after
 all :-)

It's been a while but I think I cleaned up this problem in New Brunswick.Another problem in New Brunswick are ways that share a node at a highway overpass. If there is a grade separation then the ways do not intersect and they should not share a node. I think this is related to the Canvec imports in NB.

[Talk-ca] Maritime Boundary

2014-01-12 Thread Adam Martin
Hello!

I have a question regarding the maritime boundary of Canada, specifically
Newfoundland and Labrador. National maritime boundaries generally use the
12 nautical mile limit, unless otherwise specified. I see the boundary for
the province (http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/48.283/-53.196) which is
auto-generated by a bot. That seems fine, but there is another maritime
boundary for the Province. However, this one does not appear to be correct.
Take a look at this example -
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/47.7920/-52.7985. As you can see, the
dashed line represents the boundary - in ID, it is noted as the maritime
boundary. But that does not make sense - the line crosses the landmass, for
one thing. It is also very poorly shaped.

Is this supposed to be the actual maritime boundary? I don't think it is -
the parts of the line appears to be for the Provincial boundary. If it is
the Provincial boundary, shouldn't it follow the coastal boundary?

If I am mistaken, let me know.

Adam

I don't think that you are mistaken, but I don't think you have all of
the facts either.

The 12NM line does look to be one that was created automatically.  It
certainly wasn't surveyed by a local mapper.  :-)  Same for the inland
maritime boundary.  I looked at that one in more detail.  Here's
what I see going on.

The boundary way is this one

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30114485

It is also part of two relations.  One relation is a civil boundary,
the other is an administrative (provincial)

Boundary ways can not be understood fully, or edited wisely, without
understanding relations.  I wouldn't edit any complex form, such as a
boundary relation, with an editor other than JOSM.  And not with any
editor, on a mobile device.

Today, the way appears badly drawn, and incomplete in tagging.  I'll
take a few guesses at why.

The history of that way shows 28 revisions.  The first one was the
creation of the way, as an import from geobase in 2009. It was tagged
as an administrative boundary (not a maritime boundary).  Likely, this
was the best data available to us at the time.  With the currently
available imagery, we can see that the imported boundary does not
align with imagery, nor does it reflect some of the details in the
current imagery.

Revisions 2 through 25 have been redacted, due to edits by users who
did not agree to the license change.  The boundary may have had some
improvements and corrections through those edits.  Improved or
otherwise, those edits are gone.

Revision 26 shows that the redaction bot cleaned out the data that we
were no longer entitled to keep.  That left the way without tags.

R27 in 2012 appears not to have directly affected the way. It may have
edited an intersecting way?  It was a large changeset.

R28 in 2013 added the maritime tag you report. The maritime tag alone,
is an unusual form.  I don't think that it would be considered
complete, unless combined with the tags of the parent relations.

When compared with the 'bot-drawn 12nm maritime boundary, this way
appears to be incorrect.  It just doesn't seem to be far enough
offshore to be a maritime boundary.

When compared to http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/115038287 (from
2011, and a canvec import) the '485 way appears low resolution and
poorly aligned.

So there are are multiple imported boundaries here.  Each were the
probably best available at the time.  Neither are perfect, and now the
appear to somewhat duplicate each other, given the parent relations of
'485.

Hope that helps a bit.

It seems to me that the provincial boundary should be displaced from the coast
