[Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

Hi everyone For the remainder of 2015 lets concentrate on Nature Reserves Regards Brian ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

A number of different boundaries such as SSSIs, national parks, and nature reserves are available from http://www.geostore.com/environment-agency/WebStore?xml=environment-agency/xml/ogcDataDownload.xml

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

Can you point me to a source for identifying NRs near me (L B of Enfield), and I will try to get out to them and do a bit of boundary and path network mapping where possible? Cheers Steve From: SK53 [mailto:sk53@gmail.com] Sent: 05 October 2015 09:29 To: Brian Prangle Cc: Talk GB Subject:

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

I'm well in favour of mapping nature reserves, but they usually are quite difficult to find actual boundaries. Nick Whitlegg and I walked through a couple of Woodland Trust areas on Saturday and working out the extent of the area owned by the WT is difficult. Similarly, over another non-OSM

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

Ok, a quick search suggests that there is only one in Enfield (Covert Way) – which I have details for now from the NE site. I am surprised, considering how ‘green’ the west side of the Borough seems. Maybe I need to check the Lea Valley Park for status of the constituents parts of that. Cheers

Re: [Talk-GB] User dataone: "splitting into 2 way to tag restriction "

Hi all, Just had the same thing happen near me (Croydon) but by a different user (Zain Ahmad Hashmi, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34443141). The only thing that occurred to me is that all the edits involved ways passing over or under railway lines... although like Dave F I can't

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

Hi Steve, The local hotspot around you is the Lea Valley. Various patches along the river & navigation will be nature reserves. It's a well known haunt of Bitterns in the Winter. Otherwise Middlesex is a bit thin. You can just make out LNRs & SSSIs on this map I made

Re: [Talk-GB] Last quarterly project for 2015

Hi all, I might be able to help with Lea Valley - especially the central London end of it. I've been mostly too busy for OSM this year, but should try and get to some of the NRs... Best Dan 2015-10-05 10:43 GMT+01:00 SK53 : > Hi Steve, > > The local hotspot around you is

Re: [Talk-GB] User dataone: "splitting into 2 way to tag restriction "

Dataone is at it again. He's not replied to my post. As each edit is an individual changeset & therefore laborious to revert, I think a temporary stop should be placed on him (both?) just until their attentions are grabbed. Is there anyone on this forum able to it or should I post in the talk

Re: [Talk-GB] User dataone: "splitting into 2 way to tag restriction "

(let's try that again with an actual message) I did have a bit of a conversation on some of the earliest of their changesets, but didn't really get a sense of why the roads were being split. You could argue that splitting a piece out "prior to surveying what the height restriction actually is"

[Talk-GB] Missing Nature Reserves: umap

I've had a quick go using the Natural England & Scottish Natural Heritage files to identify potentially missing (or missing bits of) Nature Reserves in England & Scotland. (Welsh data is definitely not open). All I did was check to see if the centroid of a nature reserve from one of the national

Will My sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss, and also from fellow mappers in the West Midlands. Our loss is nowhere near as great as yours, but a loss nonetheless. Evesham is a beacon area on how to map with OSM and represents many hours of dedicated effort. It's certainy

Re: [Talk-GB] User dataone: "splitting into 2 way to tag restriction "

I'm not convinced 'preemptive' edits, especially when the editor appears to have no valid maxheight data, is justifiable. http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34325458#map=14/52.4077/-0.9628 Even if he did, the ways are being arbitrarily split only once, often a long way from the bridge.
