I couldn't reconcile the NOVAM rules with the stops I have checked As Thomas already said the rules were based on the tagging scheme from the Birmingham import. They were also devised with the idea of implementing a web-based bus-stops merging tool. However this idea has been dropped as it is very easy to merge bus stops within josm. I discussed a change of the colour scheme with Peter Miller a couple of weeks ago on the West Midlands list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb-westmidlands/2009-September/000342.html At the moment I am moving to a new server and do not have time to do any changes on NOVAM. But I plan to implement new rules in October. It would be interesting to know which rules you used for your overlay. There are 5 possible outcomes: * No highway=bus_stop, but there is a naptan:AtcoCode = naptan that is not on the ground (green bus with X over it) * highway=bus_stop and naptan:verified=no = not yet checked (red bus) * highway=bus_stop and no naptan:AtcoCode = real stop not in naptan (blue bus) * highway=bus_stop and naptan:verified != no and note=* = stop checked with a problem, such as bearing wrong (cyan bus) * highway=bus_stop and naptan:verified != no and no note = stop checked and OK (green bus) This suits the data I have and the way I want to use it, i.e. find stops to check then show others the stops that don't match their NaPTAN data for whatever reason. ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
Re: [Talk-transit] Bus stop map
I've been working on a set of GroundTruth rules to do something similar, but at the moment I only have 3 classes (OSM, NAPTAN and merged). If I can find rules which work I'll extend this according to Chris's colour scheme. At the moment I have it as a transparent overlay, but my icons are too small, and its too difficult to pick them out on the display of my Garmin: so I think I'll add the road system with the minimum of fancy display. Also my initial attempt was too ambitious the XAPI download of bus stops for the UK is now rather large! Any one interested I can post my provisional GroundTruth rules on the wiki.

[Talk-transit] East Lothian Bus Stops lack any details on the ground
On 23 Sep 2009, at 19:32, Shaun McDonald wrote: Hi, Yesterday I was out checking a few bus stops in East Lothian (cycling from Musselburgh out along the coast to North Berwick). Pretty much all of them had no information other than a flag which said that buses stop here and that you are in East Lothian. There was one that had a timetable where there were 4 buses per day to the regional hospital in Edinburgh. Most of the bus stops did have a space for a timetable but there was nothing in there about it. Is this normal for more rural stops? Is it any wonder hardly any one uses the bus in the area when they have no idea of where they go? (Well that's probably diverging from the point). Yes, the level of information provision is very variable across the county - the nearest stop to my house has information dated August 2005! Possibly we should use FixMyStreet to report these to the authorities? I have been adding 'tabletable_case=yes' to indicate that there is somewhere to put timetable information, but I have not been indicating whether there is any information in it. Regards, Peter Taken a photos of a few in Edinburgh, will need to see how they marry up with the Naptan data as there is some references on the flag and the timetable signs. http://www.trackmyjourney.co.uk/track/t4xzYTfZ7tj94 Shaun___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
