[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Houses and other buildings

2012-06-08 Thread Big Fat Frog
Hi all, When I look at a lot of towns all the houses etc have been traced but not in others, I can't beleive someone has sat down and done each house one by one? Where is this coming from and how can I get it for my area? Cheers Jon (bigfatfrog67)

If you look in Birmingham then all the houses are there, I can't beleive that was done manually. There must have been an import sometime. On 08/06/2012 22:38, Matt Williams wrote: On 8 June 2012 22:12, Big Fat Frogbigfatfro...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, When I look at a lot of towns all the

OMG that's amazing. Why can't we get it from OS Opendata? On 08/06/2012 23:06, Andy Robinson wrote: All done manually, there is no magic import. Its several years of hard graft tracing from Bing imagery and if they also have numbers also from ground survey. Cheers Andy -Original

OS Opendata buildings are simplified polygons. Tracing over Bing imagery is much better generally, at least in the Birmingham area it is as the resolution of the imagery is good. Cheers Andy -Original Message- From: Big Fat Frog [mailto:bigfatfro...@gmail.com] Sent: 08 June 2012 23:15

It's a hugely impressive achievement and all credit to those involved. If you would like to add addresses but don't have the time to trace all buildings, you can make use of addr:interpolation tag. Basically add a node for the two houses at either end of a road (or corner with an adjoining

Is it not sensible to use the reference format of the place you are in, rather than create some sudo standard? If a footpath is in County Durham, and I see OSM has it as ref=Footpath 5, then I know I can call Durham council and say Repair footpath 5 please.. If another footpath is in Newcastle,

Hi, While waiting for the decision as to whether we should use the Hants CC data, I've started work on a small side-project OpenHants which overlays the Hants CC footpath data as a separate layer on top of a kothic-js rendered OSM map (basically same server side code as for Freemap). Footpaths

Fantastic use of the data Nick! Is there any guides for how to do something similar? I was trying to visualise the Natural England data using Leaflet but failed miserably as the shapefile is too big. Your website appears to load just the bit needed. Would I be able to use some of your code?
