We've been trialling the RS+ devices and with two you can get
sub-decimetre faiiirly reliably (either using LoRa radios or IP
correction services). Their RS2 looks much improved, though, so I've got
a few on order. Bit pricier than the M+/RS+, but a proper "survey spec"
receiver.

[Talk-GB] GPS devices

2019-06-14 Thread Simon Ritchie
What GPS devices are people out there using, and how accurate are they?

I'm currently evaluating the Emlid Reach M+ device.  It's a lovely little
thing, powered through the USB so can be run using a mobile phone power
bank.  It has Bluetooth and uses your laptop or smartphone as a display and
Internet connection.  So far I can make it accurate to about half a metre.

That's great -- many thanks Richard. A related existing service is
https://openover.raggedred.net/ , which shows OS Greenspace and also
Access Land polygons.

By the way, if anyone is in to tileservers for helping OSM, some tiles
with a rendering of OS Open Roads (with their names) would be really
useful I think:
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/products/os-open-roads.html
.

Re: [Talk-GB] OS Open Greenspace tileset

2019-06-14 Thread Jez Nicholson
Nice.

When they released OS Open Greenspace it immediately made me shout. There
are lots of places that they don't regard as greenspace that clearly are,
plus there are nuances.

Can you tell from the render which areas are pulled in from OSM? I'm
comparing the layers in JOSM and can see when an area exactly matches OSM.

Do you want any specific feedback, or is it too early to comment?

Regards,
 Jez

[Talk-GB] OS Open Greenspace tileset

2019-06-14 Thread Richard Fairhurst
Hi all,

I've put together a simple tileset showing greenspace areas from Ordnance 
Survey's recent OS Open Greenspace release. The data is released under the 
standard OS open licence therefore suitable for tracing in OSM.

Many features are already in OSM, but not all, and in addition the names might 
be helpful.

The tiles also include a few greenspace-related features from OSM and the basic 
OSM road/path network.

You can add the tiles to your favourite editor using this URL:
http://osm.cycle.travel/greenspace/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

(The tileserver is a bit slow at small scales right now but I'll optimise it 
later.)

cheers
Richard
