[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2019-08-28
These are based off of Lambertus's work here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl If you have questions or comments about these maps, please feel free to ask. However, please do not send me private mail. The odds are, someone else will have the same questions, and by asking on the talk-us@ list, others can benefit. Downloads: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-08-28 Map to visualize what each file contains: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-08-28/kml/kml.html 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. http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2019-08-28 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. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Historic 66 as highway=trunk in OK
To be prescriptive, the best way is to make a proposal, discuss it, and vote on it. While this is usually done on the international Tagging mailing list, I've seen that the Japanese community has done formal proposals to discuss how a tag should be used in Japan specifically. We could consider something like that if we want to suggest a better way to define highway=trunk in the USA, especially since this tag is used several different ways, in different countries currently. -Joseph On 8/30/19, stevea wrote: > On August 29, 2019 at 8:08:08 AM PDT, Bradley White > wrote: >> I'm on the same page with Steve that describing how tagging currently *is* >> used and >> debating over how tagging might be better used, should be kept separate. > > Kind of you to say so.

Kind of you to say so. I (and others) often find it useful to distinguish these as "descriptive" (how tagging IS used/done) vs. "prescriptive" (how tagging SHOULD BE used/done). Sometimes in the wiki, sometimes in talk. Often, it is helpful to be DEscriptive, as in "this is what we do (now)." Much less often, and best when this is made quite clear, it MIGHT be helpful to be PREscriptive, though let's be careful how we "prescribe" how "this is how it ought to be."
