Re: [talk-au] South Australia Suburb Boundries

I did look through a few of the existing tools; but most fell into the too hard basket. In the end, manually doing it via QGIS and exporting into the right projection was fairly easy. I've pushed to github what I've done; which is produce geojson kml serializations of it - I had assumed

[talk-au] data.sa.gov.au

The SA govt has joined many of the other state/local governments in publishing open data. The current implementation is powered by CKAN, and though I haven't seen it yet, appears to be leveraging openstreetmap / cloudmade in some fashion. Anyway, the majority of the data sets are CC-A licensed,

Hi, I work in the property valuation industry, and have a strong interest in mapping buildings, leisure areas like swimming pols or tennis courts and more... How did you sell the idea of mapping buildings in your recent project? I have done what I can, but it is a hard slog to map my own city

Re: [talk-au] Optimising map rendering for recreational use

What do you guys think? It's non trivial to do it this way, but: - Define a relationship between zoom level and number of ways/nodes within the bounding box - Sort the ways in a weighted fashion - roads first, land boundaries second, etc - Zoom level max, with 10 nodes to
