Re: [talk-au] Mapping houses and addresses in Sydney

You're absolutely right! The devil is in the detail. By the way, I've made a start in Epping, which is a suburb I am familiar with. I've posted about it in the imports mailing list, so I look forward to comments on it there! For those who aren't subscribed to the imports mailing list, here is

Thanks Andrew for your reply! 1. Thanks for the link to the import guidelines. My responses to the import guidelines below: 1. I am aware that big automatic updates can cause problems. I will only import addr:housenumber and addr:street and a single node. 2. Yep, sending to talk-au mailing

Re: [talk-au] Mapping houses and addresses in Sydney

I had another look at the LPI resource and would like to propose a way of importing address data from LPI, because clearly sitting there for months on end armchair mapping the LPI Base Map as a raster underlay in JOSM is incredibly inefficient. Also, given that I am proposing an import, I would

Re: [talk-au] Mapping houses and addresses in Sydney

There are a number of task manger instances run outside of HOT (which would really really not be an appropriate one). It's on the other side of the world but please feel free to use our (SOSM) instance  http://tasks.osm.ch/ (which is currently mainly used for coordinating an address import).

For knowing "whats mapped" at a high level, I like http://qa.poole.ch - I believe it has filters for unmapped addresses. On the ground stuff - streetcomplete does really well at prompting for things without address, highly recommend. Setting up a task manager instance; I reckon it could make a

Correct, alternatively the AU OSM community could set up an instance of the task manager to support community projects. Cheers - Phil, On the road with his iPad > On 17 Jun 2018, at 11:47 am, Dion Moult wrote: > > Wow, seems a little overkill to put the task there where it seems the >

Wow, seems a little overkill to put the task there where it seems the objective is for humanitarian needs :) Australian house addresses are hardly humanitarian in nature :) Dion Moult ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On June 17, 2018 9:30 AM, Phil Wyatt wrote: > You could put a project up on

As a continuation of this thread just wondering if there was a way to divide up Sydney into a grid and automatically check the progress of whether that zone has been mapped or not. Is there a standard approach for this? Dion Moult Original Message On 6 Jun 2018, 09:39, Warin

Thanks for the links Andy. Marc is correct, I meant we can only use the Imagery layer, not any of ESRI's other basemaps like their Streets basemap, etc. On 5 June 2018 at 02:23, Andy Townsend wrote: > On 03/06/18 20:12, Andrew Harvey wrote: > > On 3 June 2018 at 21:48, Dion Moult wrote: >> >>

Re: [talk-au] Mapping houses and addresses in Sydney

OSM is permitted to use the LPI Base Map, This contains street number where they are. However I am not from NSW so I can't say how accurate LPI is. You are best to do a ground survey, the Android app StreetComplete is good for this as long as the houses have been mapped already. If you wish to
