Hello all, There was a new mapper who changed the traffic pattern of highway 401 near Hurontario recently. With help from Steve's gps trace I've repaired it to the best of my ability.
There was also an update to be made because of the legitimately new traffic pattern in the area after the recent construction. The new mapper was contacted and gently pointed toward some more conventional mapping practices but has not yet replied. If you are here, say "hi!" :-) To review for new mailing list readers, the OpenStreetMap data base is for current existing geographic data. You can play with OSM data to build hypothetical or historic workls, but don't do that in the real data base. You can use either the developers data base, or a private data base that you host yourself for those activities. Ask, if you wish to do these things and need more instruction. If you are interested in mapping historical objects (which have no current geographic presence) there is a mailing list for that! The challenges to that type of mapping are many, so get involved in the discussion and benefit from the experienced voice on that list. So, the 401 construction should be reflected in good order at the moment. Check and improve my work please, if you are local and have new GPS traces. Watch out for aerial imagery in that area! The construction is newer than the aerial imagery! Best regards and Happy Mapping, Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
