Re: [Talk-us] Tiger Zip Data Removal Project (Update)

[Hans De Kryger]

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have moved on to my normal editing.

About the soft approach to tiger removal. I see no reason not to look into
it. Do i bring up these questions on github for Josm & iD?

[Talk-us] Tiger Zip Data Removal Project (Update)

[Hans De Kryger]

So last month i started a discussion about a project i took on removing
Tiger zip data across the U.S. I brought it to the community after i
received concern from quite a few mappers in the U.S. After getting more
unfriendly changeset comments and messages in my inbox i'm officially
done.  The Project is done for good. Not really wanting to get in an
argument daily with the messages I've gotten in my mailbox. I've learned
first hand just how unfriendly the osm community can be. It makes me quite
sad to see that side of the it. I've been apart of osm for 4+ years and
this type of response from the community makes me never want to contribute
ever again.

[Talk-us] Need advice on a project i've taken on

[Hans De Kryger]

I started about 2 weeks ago removing tiger zip data (Left & Right) from
Arizona, my home state. When i finished i thought i'd continue with a few
other states. As of now i've finished 15 states (1). The project is
currently on hold due to concern from other mappers. I'm aware that mass
edits on tiger data is not helpful due to it being hard to tell if it was
touched since the tiger import.

Hey people

I created a first early version of StreetComplete (renamed from

anyone is interested to test it in the field, I would be happy for any

Don't expect too much, I first needed to get the basics working.

I created a forum thread for this again to not generate too much noise

​It just tells you where to turn, sadly it doesn't tell you the name of the
street. Hopefully they add that soon.​

There's a lot of split speed limits here in the valley (Arizona.) I've

I know that Osmand will as I've seen it come up on some odd edge cases
where sign placement is weird (normally Oklahoma doesn't do these split
limits unless it's not feasible to signpost the limits in the same spot
both directions).  Someone up towards Colorado should have more exact

Re: [OSM-talk] Adding notes on www.openstreetmap.org

[Hans De Kryger]

I just closed a note made by the Phoenix zoo last week. Totally confused
me. Eventually i figured it out. They said something along the lines as
"this is are main entrance. Some guest have used the wrong entrance."

The note was on top of the main entry way into the zoo. Which had been
properly map long ago. They believed somehow that the purpose of notes on
osm was to help others in someway. Not knowing like you said, it's for
missing data or mistakes to fix. So yes oddly i have run into that.

Hans

​My guess is yes, i just checked it and the website is using data from at
least 2013 or newer so i'm assuming they'd have to accept osm's license
since that's years after the change. Hopefully that's what you meant Janko?

Re: [Talk-us] Bing imagery

[Hans De Kryger]

My area here in Glendale Arizona and its surrounding area got a much needed
update from Microsoft when they updated bing imagery last summer. Don't
remember the month but i was really excited. I know they updated a lot of
the major cities in the U.S, sadly they didn't touch any small towns that i
know of. Also this is the only website (1) i know of that talks about
imagery updates as they happen. I'm not sure how are imagery from bing is
sourced from Microsoft. But anytime there blog announced new imagery in any
area we've always had it instantly. So i assume it's a live feed. So keep
an eye on that blog. Otherwise the alternative is Mapbox's imagery which
has not been updated at all since it was introduced into OSM.

1.) https://blogs.bing.com/maps/

[OSM-talk] Not sure what to think

[Hans De Kryger]

So i just came across an edit of a user near me that listed the source of
his edit as (Google Maps Street View) (1)

I have just contacted the user asking for more information about his edit
and let him know of the the policy of OpenStreetMap not to copy from other
maps.

So i thought i would search tags (source=google) hoping to find any source
tagged with the word google anywhere. Assuming there has to be more. Here's
what i found (2)
Seems like any others should be addressed.

Re: [Talk-us] Papa John's Delivery Boundary in OSM

Really hard to tell if it could of been another type of boundary. The
boundary is 6 years old. Which makes you think it might have been.
Ah yes, I forgot to attach the link! Thanks Hans.

[Talk-us] San Diego Address Import Update

[Hans De Kryger]

Late last year September 2014 i sent an email about a 2009 San Diego
address import that needed it's street names expanded by a bot. It was
imported before the community had an acceptance of expanding street names.
Any chance some one can run a bot to expand them. I have no experience on
that. Not home right now, but you search anywhere near San Diego and check
an address and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I noticed some of that, was hoping it wasn't everywhere. Is this any way to
target an area with a bot inside each city administration line and change
the city to the right one or does that need to be done manually?

[OSM-talk] Traffic Signs

[Hans De Kryger]

I know it's been talked about in the past what the major goals of
OpenStreetMap are. And i remember there being different opinions on what
those are, (when Steve Coast mentioned his goal being Addresses) which i
agree. Addresses are a big future for OSM.

One goal not mention is traffic signs. I think there's a huge potential
once we have traffic signs all over the world in the database. Ways to tag
them in the database being besides the point. (Which still needs to be
addressed) hire did everyone feel about this?

Is all 200 changesets the same? If so i"d report it to the data working

Re: [OSM-talk] Some thoughts against remote mapping

[Hans De Kryger]

Isn't the point of remote mapping the ability to pull a large amount of
people from all parts of life together and map an area of need in a short
period of time? That simply can't be done in area's affected by a disaster
due to the fact they are themselves are recovering from the impact of said
disaster. Asking locals for helps seems not possible.

 Being able to overlay the speed limit signs on the top of the ITO speed

I would rather do that than see this data lost forever.  At least in OHM,
the data still lives, and can always be moved back to OSM later if a

 Hi,

 Osmose QA is a Quality Assurance tool. It detects and reports errors
 based on more than 200 rulesets.

 http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmose

 We are glad to announce the new North American coverage of Osmose QA.
 After Africa and Antarctica, America is the last fully covered continent.
 This is possible because of interest of MapBox on data quality and their
 sponsorship of Osmose QA project through OpenStreetMap-France with € 2.000
 donation. This allowed us to rent a new server for a couple of years to run
 the North America analysis.

 After the new active areas are in place, we checked the results and
 adjusted the analysers according to local mapping usages. Nevertheless we
 are still open to comments (and code) to improve the quality of errors
 detection.

 Setting up quality analyser in a new area always come up with lot of
 errors detected - and some errors coming from noisy imports. Do not
 discourage yourself by the quantity of errors. In Osmose QA you can filter
 errors by severity, categories, topics and so on. You can look up at errors
 on objects where your are the last editor. You can also show errors list,
 exports and graph over time.

 We plan to rent a second server and try to finish Europe coverage. Then
 it will miss large part of Asia and Oceania to cover the world.
 Donations are welcome to extend Osmose QA coverage on the last missing
 continents.

 The Osmose QA team.

Re: [OSM-talk] New statistics on volume of note creation and closing

 Are notes more-likely to be resolved when a dialogue is possible

 36 hours, perhaps that would be sufficient motivation for a note
 author to leave contact information.

 Another possible reason is that non-anonymous notes tend to be from more
experienced users who leave easier to interpret notes. In that case,
there's not much to be done aside from normal measures to guide people to
mapping and try to make people return visitors. The solution to
inexperience is practice.

 The city of Escondido has this mega residential area. Just wondering why?

 There's a few things going on here

 One is that there has been an import or tracing from an official landuse
 plan (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/125990327). There is no
 documentation of this on the lists or wiki, and the link in the source_ref
 tag has stopped working. There is also a potentially related import (e.g.
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/597144689), also without documentation.

 The second is that Escondido really does appear to be residential outside
 the core. Even if there are problems with the imported or official landuse
 data, you still have a core of commercial, retail and industrial surrounded
 by residential.

 The goal would be to reduce the pain felt by anyone with fixme warnings

Re: [OSM-talk] Quality of OSM Notes

 As for Scout, I talked about this in my diary entry some time ago - not
all of these are going to be useful and there is going to be noise. We're
looking at improving the quality of the notes that make it through - which
is already a tiny, tiny fraction the notes we get internally. Only through
making mistakes do we learn how to get it right - not by not doing it in
the first place. I would say it's a stretch to call this a 'huge waste' of
our time - as I write this there are only a little over 100 notes posted on
OSM through our Scout users.

 In general I think it should be easier, not harder, to create notes and
Ian's onosm is a good example of how to accomplish that. Adding artificial
friction makes no sense to me. Less notes should not be an objective,
smarter ways to look at them and process them should.

Thanks martijn for replying. I know it's hard to sort through the mass
amount of notes you guys get. I didn't mean to throw you guys under the
bus. It's just overwhelming the notes that are out there. I'm glad to hear
you guys are still working to improve the quality of your notes.

 That's unnecessarily perjorative.  I've seen a number of notes around me
 that could be characterized that way, and I've entered a number myself.
 I view it as a public shared todo list.  I've fixed some of them myself,
 others (esp. oceanvortex) have fixed some, and some remain.   It's far
 faster to drop a note than to do the work, and often it's simply a
 matter of half an hour with bing and tiger or the massgis parcels layer
 to resolve.

 I consider this use case to be a successful example of notes.

 That said, there is a lot of junk.  But I just close them if I can't
 figure them out and if I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be able to if I showed
 up.

 So I've made a web script that shows you ONLY open notes for specified user

 Subject: Reinvigorating working groups. Join in!
 To: osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org


 There have been recent discussions about reinvigorating various
 OpenStreetMap Foundation Working Groups.

 Recent board minutes indicated the membership management would be
 moved from a board position membership secretary to a working group
 format.[1]

 Michael Collinson spoke [2] of his interest in seeing new people and
 more people participating in Working Groups, based on his experiences
 and earlier work by Matt Amos.

 I wrote recently[3] about who might join a working group, why, and
 what they might be able to offer a working group.  Shortly after I
 published that, Jono Bacon tweeted an image that struck me as helpful,
 inspirational and super appropriate for OpenStreetMap.  So, I wrote
 about that as well.  [4]

 In addition to the new membership WG, there will be announcements for
 others.  Michael Collinson spoke of the need for more participation in
 LWG and if I remember correctly MT[5].  There will be at least one
 more, shortly, but it isn't mine to announce. :-)

 Best regards and happy mapping,

 Richard[6]

 tl;dr

 You do not have to be an expert, or know all of the answers, to be
 valuable to a working group. You can join armed only with enthusiasm,
 though organizational skills and communication skills are a benefit.

[Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's

[Hans De Kryger]

Does anyone know if osm navigation apps can route you to your location
using area's tagged with a full address? I ask because I've been tagging
apartment complexes, (Retail area's with names) with full addresses. Adding
the data to the area.
