using piclayer calibrations
i've been using the piclayer plugin for some time to align historical imagery for use with OpenHistoricalMap. i'm wondering if anyone has any insights/suggestions on using the calibration data to allow a calibrated image to be used as a layer in a leaflet widget. thanks, richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search

mac ox package and wiki update
a couple of weeks ago i updated the wiki with a procedure for getting the josm app working in mac os 10.12 that was different from prior versions. in the interim i see that my update was removed in an edit labeled "Removed obsolete and irrelevant macOS info" the one method left in the wiki for mac os x does not work on my mac running mac os 10.12.3. the method that works is the one i added to the wiki. i know this because i just updated and things went the same way as before. in the interests of avoiding an edit war in the wiki i am not putting it back. but folks, if you're going to do an edit like that, you should be very sure you're right, and then double check. richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search

Sounds like the validator should take into account the type of features in this case, right? I'm all for joining nodes of like feature types (like landuse to landuse), but it shouldn't tell you (let you?) join landuse to highway. i would agree with you. not being familiar with internals in this case, i don't know how hard that would be to adjust. however, at a minimum, there probably ought to be some sort of documentation/help option available for errors and warnings so a newish user can get immediate feedback on whether a fix is advisable, maybe right click/help-with-error leading to a text help dialog? From a technical standpoint, the land parcels do indeed usually extend out to the centerline of the roadway, but an easement is granted to the city/county/state for the road, utilities, etc., and the area within the easement may not be built upon by the landowner. IMO, that should exclude the area within the easement from the landuse boundary. and from a practical point of view, this is how they are in the database at the present time; nodes for landuse/areas are at the same locations as nodes in highways. richard ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
