[HOT] Nepal earthquake - Roads query

Namaste, I'm quite new to this process and have come across something I don't understand. I have gone in to a couple of tasks bad round the Sindhuli highway (Task #2742) where many of the roads have been put on (coloured black), but when you magnify the area to mark, the roads disappear. This

So cool Blake, I'll have a look at your video in the evening hoping to help building up a course on it. Regards, LauraC 2015-05-07 15:34 GMT+02:00 john whelan jwhelan0...@gmail.com: Microsoft have a free program called Movie Maker which would enable you to cull the first 26 mins or so.

Re: [HOT] [info-hotosm] Reference Project #1030 Nepal Earthquake

Hello Kevin, Thanks very much for your very helpful memo regarding image quality. It is very useful for now the challenges that you face in your methods for getting the best quality data out to OSM and others. I will have a look at your reference articles as time permits. Although I now better

Re: [HOT] [info-hotosm] Reference Project #1030 Nepal Earthquake

Spring, Offsets are not desirable, and it is expected that users will not move the imagery around at a whim. I believe this is why the tasks using the not-fully-georectified DG imagery are for experienced mappers only, who should understand the spatial accuracy implications, and only move the DG

it still concerns me that untrained users can move the imagery around at a whim completely agreed; not only in this Nepal activation but for all OpenStreetMap work! Perhaps a lower cutoff angle could be adopted to filter out images of high distortion and displacement. this is our typical

[HOT] LookAtTheWorld

On project 1018#task/755 there is some odd mapping by this user in that they have combined more than one building within a building=yes. They haven't completed a tile and I don't seem to be able to find them in HOT users but they do exist in OSM users and it looks like they have made three

Re: [HOT] 30 m DEM TMS rendering for Nepal

Bonjour, Actually, it is the other way around, as can be guessed from a global view: flat areas appear in black. So the lighter the grey, the steeper the slope. It can indeed be very useful as a parameter for potential helicopter landing zones. Areas reported on APAN as landing zones used by

[HOT] slow time mapper productivity

This is definitely slow time and not something to distract HOT at the moment. Mapping buildings is not my favourite occupation. I reward myself by breaking off and sending the odd email etc from time to time so the figures below are not head down hard mapping of buildings. However I noticed

Re: [HOT] slow time mapper productivity

I agree. In my opinion JOSM is not much harder to learn than iD. I question why it has its reputation. It has many more menus and tools but I don't think that is a deterrent to learning the basics and getting started. The installation instructions could be better, and for different operating

Re: [HOT] Nepal earthquake - Roads query

Hi Al, do you still have that problem? It's not quite clear to me - is that the iD editor you are using? That is, you clicked on start mapping and then on edit with iD editor? Usually you just see the black lines at the starting zoom level, and when you zoom in you can see the features in
