[talk-au] Adding residential properties?

2013-12-05 Thread Will Rouesnel
A simple example starting with my own house - how should residential buildings be tagged? The block they sit on is more of a land use concern, but the specific buildings don't occupy the entire block - and seem like they should be tagged house. Is this a correct way to go about things? The goal

I started out with buildings, but got a bit excited in my local area; getting down into trees, power lines, fences, driveways etc. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-34.84928/138.52277 Not super pretty looking. Nowdays, I tend to map the primary houses only, and perhaps significant features

I'd suggest you read these wiki pages: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Address My personal opinion is that the address should be on a separate node at the entrance to the property. This is preferred for disability access programs. It also

Hi folks, I'm at a bit of a loss right now and wonder if any of you have experienced the same issue. For about a week on 2 different machines I have only had access to zoom level 19. I've pretty much run down every google result possible (remove tile cache, remove attribution file et al) and

Hi Will, I’ve been mapping the building outlines and tagging the feature appropriately, e.g. house and then adding address data to each building. I’ve also added in a smaller area the boundary fences or walls. There is I understand, two competing models for recording addresses, one where the

Hi Jason, There seems to be two layers in Bing in South Australia. A high resolution three or four year old layer and a lower resolution layer only about twelve months old. This may be related to what you are seeing. On 6 Dec 2013, at 9:29 am, Jason Ward jasonjwa...@gmail.com wrote: For

Hi Alex, The age is an interesting point but not what I am experiencing I think. As an example, and to your point, I accept that the Higher Resolution imagery is older than the lower resolution imagery. My house roof solar panels installed in June 2011 are there in the Low res images. When I

Its a bit of a stretch but they could be scaling back high load services (ie. High Res map tiles) to non Bing products to ensure their 3D Maps release runs buttering smooth. http://www.bing.com/blogs/site_blogs/b/search/archive/2013/12/05/maps3d.aspx but in this day and age that'd be an
