[talk-au] Familiar with these places in WA?

Anyone familiar with these places in WA to fix some of this mappers tags. shop=dry_cleaning appears to be a booming business to me. Also adding odd characters at end of names and parts of names in lower case http://mmwatch.osmz.ru/?country=Australia=%E7%8E%8B%E7%90%B3%E9%9B%85

[talk-au] Admin level boundaries

There have been many new admin_level=10 administrative boundaries added in NSW recently. Are we expected to split and use these as shared sections for the sides of national park multipolygons, etc. Or is it preferable to leave the admin_level=10 (and other admin levels) alone and separate.

Re: [talk-au] Overgrown (and illegal) bike track

It was mapped in 2009 and there appears nothing discernible on the satellite imagery and only one lone Strava track and no gps tracks near it, so if reverted to bush, I agree it’s time to delete it. > On 22 Mar 2016, at 7:39 PM, fors...@ozonline.com.au wrote: > > Hi all > > Just advising my

[talk-au] Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area

I am finding that the new LPI NSW Administrative Boundaries NPWS Reserve boundaries are often in conflict with the previously imported Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. The Gondwana data also does not name the individual protected area. Is it best to use the most similar

Re: [talk-au] JOSM Scanaerial plugin on NSW LPI layers

thanks it appears that the boundaries here sometimes follow a topo contour and that abuts the next defined boundary which seems reasonable. > On 23 Jan 2016, at 1:22 PM, Ross <i...@4x4falcon.com> wrote: > > Looks good to me. > > > > On 23/01/16 13:19, Nev
