Re: [Talk-ca] more auto-edits from bitcoin types: coindero.com
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is a bit ugly. Also, no attribution on their maps. I am a bitcoin supporter in general and am glad to see places that accept bitcoin being mapped in OSM (I think there is a good fit between two open source projects there), but I want to see that mapping done in a good way. There are bitcoin editors who map well, this is not one of them. - -AndrewBuck On 08/10/2015 07:24 AM, Stewart C.

Re: [Talk-ca] Canadian Openstreetmap Task Manager + Central Website

Re: [Talk-ca] Montréal spammer?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Looking at the 'About the embassy' page http://bitcoinembassy.ca/new-page/ It looks like they are going to occupy several floors of the building. Not sure if this is just a new startup that doesn't have signs, etc, in place yet or what the deal is. I don't see any harm in leaving the node there for now, but it would be worth either following up later with them to confirm whether they actually took over the building, or what the deal is. - -AndrewBuck -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSNLI/AAoJEK7RwIfxHSXb+WIQAMK+1deZAxtVR99bRGxaFUuZ P3lNIugk72FOJxWQHU+R+M0rSGmx2Y3qEfRTza+BsNWi8AcEf+AjZoFbTRWd4bLZ 5xgee+aIk2QGS+Z/x4uB3LSohOTSWYR7Q7WgAXS+wuXHGl96I+2lUJD0k1bU3Md7 WfYbSnxu7cN1YAiG8KeFBJDowGVBszqBKU/nFiwAo+DjYW5VfDOHz3JarXAcbxeV QIYckDLME3qxmiK9c6t/YLXlM6p0T74VCqn2fQhM55vxXdBIq2z1AG7z+M1onik1 JxoMngeBV3Cc5AhG0yfk+zFXpdOaZ7DgPO5sZZf73MaqMW6IXye0C1r03JkzKlzk 725dyTHAkic/7gGlf8/Z9YAY4Mm86z8LFcwjUMQaBBgbZhNTz7AJ94FXkNHHUS9X 9EkhLbIfsYQ3UKeUV0NBGo7AgAafzmu8xOpzuPJY2quO6NG32hkb2uf6ZUyLuXHK bA22L/NkeoBw1BdBFNqe5XzHZKviCdo7X8V7MbARy8Mi+Dnuc/wrMlSTigAVfTUL AIfo47/g36N4eGfDPYvSHPSqz9OndyQaXm/e2FYyVjugWXfTBKuuaW0xslPTP/rw Btu2B0o0InkDlip31HRJnhYT0PneTI/g2FiMb25YSJAI1wbhdabToZPUDO/ketBr 2E/G4cvMwNkaijn8nQt0 =5BzT -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Kelowna Open Data
Paul, I am working with some people who live in Kelowna doing some remote mapping to trace buildings in the city of Kelowna and elsewhere. I have asked them what they think about the import and they think it sounds good. The have done a bit of mapping but not a lot themselves, so I don't know how representative they are of the local mapping community, but there is at least interest from their perspective. I would be willing to help merging in the import on the buildings I have traced in already. If you could prepare the files for import I will help with the merging/conflation process. -AndrewBuck ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Advice on Addressing
Individual buildings is definitely preferable to interpolation ways. For adding address coverage in Fargo, ND, I used the 'audio mapping' technique detailed on the wiki while riding my bike up one sidewalk and then down the other on each street. It goes very fast and works very well. I also gather building:levels data at the same time as well as whether the address is for a house or apartment building. So my audio recording sounds like... Number 102 is a 1 storey house, number 104 is a 2 storey apartment, etc... Hope this helps. -AndrewBuck ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset
Hi, I am not from the area, but I did want to post my 2 cents about this issue. Your idea of how the offset got started sounds correct. I would caution you though that GPS traces can be offset, too, due to atmospheric effects. To really get a good trace with no offset you need to do a few traces on different days of the same road (or path is better since it is narrow) and through an area with few buildings around as these can cause offsets, too. Other than those issues, if you trust your traces then I see no reason not to fix the offset, but as I said make sure your traces are good first. -AndrewBuck ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Proposed mechanical edits: GeoBase/CanVec Service Surface and GeoBase/CanVec name spaces
The easiest way to fix this may just be with a text editor and xapi/overpass queries. First do a query to get a file of affected objects in a given area, then load the area in a text editor and do a search for the double space. Jumping the search ahead should take you not only to the given object like josm would but should position your cursor right on the affected spot. This way you can check that you are not breaking anything before correcting the space and moving on. Alternatively the search and replace mechanism in the editor could be used, either manually or if we know for sure it is acceptable to do, a replace all. I tried doing a taginfo query to find out how many objects were affected but couldn't figure out a syntax to work correctly. If anyone knows how many objects are affected by this that would help in determining whether manually checking each one is feasible, or whether it would be better to just fix them en-masse and try to clean up mistakes afterwards. -AndrewBuck ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
