Re: [Talk-ca] Calgary Area Trail Mapping Project
A lot of the tracks seem to be very old and may have come from this site: http://albertatrailmaps.ca http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Catmp or one similar to it. There are a few in Calgary that post GPS tracks for hiking I donât think there is any licensing issues as it is all user gathered data. Just GPS traces. Hi all, I can confirm that the data did come from there, and with the permission of 'John' from Calgary Area Trails Project. Obviously this data might be outdated by now, I am not really active on OSM anymore. The trails are mostly ATV/Quad Trails, with some cycle trails thrown in.

Hello Andrew A lot of the tracks seem to be very old and may have come from this site: http://albertatrailmaps.ca http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Catmp or one similar to it. There are a few in Calgary that post GPS tracks for hiking I don’t think there is any licensing issues as it is all user gathered data. Just GPS traces. I don’t think it should be deleted. Poor Quality can be better than no quality. Plus it seems there are a few mappers in the area that are slowly cleaning it up.

I was looking at the new truck rendering layer at http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=160 and ran across an import called the Calgary Area Trail Mapping Project. This is, as far as I can tell, the only significant use of hgv=* between Vancouver and Toronto. Does anyone know anything about it? The hgv=* (and other access) tags on http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/26574987 seem somewhat out of place. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

The Calgary Area Trail Mapping Project is tied in with a local 4X4 club from what I recall... I was in communication with one member a number of years ago. Most of the trails they are adding are for off highway vehicles, ie. four wheel drives, quads, or smaller more maneuverable machines. I ran across some trails from the project when out on a week long horseback riding camp... http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.0671916007996lon=-115.968310832977zoom=14 The roads there are tagged as hgv=no, and are indeed not suitable for most passenger cars. The hgv classification possibly being mistaken for High Ground-clearance Vehicle rather than Heavy Goods Vehicle. More appropriate would probably be the TRACK, TRACKTYPE and SMOOTHNESS tags. There's no ACCESS value for OHV (Off Highway Vehicles) As with many tags, the use of the tags by the author may not be what the intended us was... -- James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

The hgv classification possibly being mistaken for High Ground-clearance Vehicle rather than Heavy Goods Vehicle. The project is mostly aimed at building a Garmin format map, and I think that are using some of the Garmin tags to convey other information - such as 'hgv=no' to indicate that the route is not suitable for 'normal' driving. I did do the initial import, but am busy with other project and we're also a little out of date compared to their latest version. Simon. PS.

Are you okay with the tagging being fixed where it hasn't been touched by subsequent users? Right now it's rendering on the ITO truck layer as being suitable for a truck (since that's how it's tagged) If there's any documentation about what the values mean in the datasource it would be helpful.
