FAQ



Why did you do this?

I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact
of doing a large join on Lambertus's server.  I've also
cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently
on removable media.

Can or should I seed the torrents?

Yes!!  If you use the .torrent files, please seed.  That web
server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this
side of the Atlantic.

Why is my map missing small rectangular areas?

There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the
red rectangles),  I don't see any at the moment, so you may
want to update if you had issues with the last set.

Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card?

If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from
the factory.  I had to reformat it to let me create a 2GB
file.

Does your map cover Mexico/Canada?

Yes!!  I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario
in to the USA.  Some areas of North America that are close
to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps.
This might not happen forever, and if you would like your
non-US area to get included, let me know.

[Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

2015-08-16 Thread Martijn van Exel 
Hi,

The new rendering of forests broke cases where a lake is inside a forest
and the lake is not mapped as an inner section of the surrounding forest
polygon.

I posted this issue in the carto issue tracker:

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1754

But after some discussion I realized that this may be a side effect of a
different problem, namely how we tag national forests. In the US, these
seem to be tagged as landuse=forest which is only partly true: within a
National Forest, many different land uses can occur, only one of them being
forest.

So should we just not tag National Forests as landuse=forest?
