[talk-ph] gps traces from a delivery service company
Hi, I just had a phone discussion from a delivey/forwarding company. They own several delivery trucks equipped with GPS. They are willing to donate GPS traces provided we give them GPS maps (which I do anyway). Focus areas includes Visayas. Do you think this is a worthwhile data source? Of course we don't expect drivers to do the editing. Any idea on how we should proceed? -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Great. Actually, we need the data for averaging tracks (and if you ask me, I always prefer visual method for best-fit trace over existing satellite images, if they're available). otherwise, we just trace over the tracklogs which represent most likely the center-of-the-roads). Other mappers can name the roads later. I don't suggest uploading their entire gpx data to osm. We only need a few quality tracks. We can expect multiple tracklogs over the same roads on their delivery routes, and I believe we have lots of talents here who can make sense out of their chaotic random lines. Let's see how we go about the clean-up. :-) How big are the files?

Honestly, I want to see the units first so that I can configure it to 1sec tracking :) Will keep the list posted and hope we can share the load in editing. -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

For data donations, do you have any written (by paper of email) consent from the donor? If we have one, why not add the data to OSM. murlwe -Original Message- From: maning sambale [emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com] Sent: 6/9/2009 4:14:23 PM To: talk-ph@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [talk-ph] gps traces from a delivery service company Hi, I just had a phone discussion from a delivey/forwarding company.

If we have one, why not add the data to OSM. murlwe Maybe it depends on the data. If gps tracks will come from delivery vans and they have (more or less) the same route everyday, we'll have lots of redundant gpx tracks on osm (which may be very hard to look at). The group needs to qualify them first before uploading. I'm just not sure if these donors are aware of security issues. It is best to keep their names (and nature of business) confidential. What if it's an armored van carrying money (or container van delivering high-value electronics)? we become automatic suspects if somebody rob/hijack the van. Si maning ang unang ito-torture ng NBI/CIDG, hehe ;-) But maybe, if it's the type like aluminum van that delivers appliances, then that will be great since they don't have fix route. -Original Message- From: maning sambale [emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com] Sent: 6/9/2009 4:14:23 PM To: talk-ph@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [talk-ph] gps traces from a delivery service company Hi, I just had a phone discussion from a delivey/forwarding company.

Not entirely sure, but NOAA coastline are too coarse for our level of mapping.

Re: [talk-ph] talk-ph Digest, Vol 11, Issue 12
Yes, too coarse ... it is accurate enough in positioning, but coarse. It is what I used for waypoints.ph vicinity maps. It has more islands and islets though than the current OSM coastlines.
