Field boundaries are often retained (development usually takes a field at a time), look out for these. They are a useful guide to aligning stuff with old aerial imagery. Phil (trigpoint) On Fri, 2019-03-08 at 14:38 +, Dave F via Talk-GB wrote: > Hi > > Welcome to OSM. > > > >

Re: [Talk-GB] How to map new housing?

Hi Welcome to OSM. Mapping new developments is trickier without aerial imagery, but there's quite a bit you can do to make it more accurate than guesswork. * if you're mapping the roads use the GPS to walk down their centre, if it's safe to do so, of course) * Takes *lots* of photos.

Re: [Talk-GB] How to map new housing?

If you've got no imagery - basically you're stuffed for building outlines except for guesswork ( I tag these as "visual estimate" - sound a bit better). Digital Globe Imagery tends to have more new housing estates than other imagery sets .If you've surveyed an area just add address nodes Regards

Re: [Talk-GB] How to map new housing?

Hi Dave In general new housing is a bit of a best guess and a bit of creative use of gps traces. I use techniques such as walk the roads and cross over, or put a wiggle in, when I am level with the ends of the building. I tend to use those traces locally in josm as they will be a bit odd to

[Talk-GB] How to map new housing?

Hi, I'm quite new to OSM, and am wondering how I might go about mapping new housing plots in my area. In general, there is nothing on the imagery - I know I can walk the new streets and map them with GPS - but how to go about mapping the new buildings? Is there a guide I can look at? TIA,

I have downloaded the spreadsheet and split the lat/lon column into two numeric columns so that I can apply bounding boxes to see what there is within the areas I have knowledge of. Ran out of time but should get to have a look later. Phil (trigpoint) On Friday, 8 March 2019, Andy Robinson

Re: [Talk-GB] Road name contradictions in the UK

About 50% of those in the list in my Cheshire patch are one housing estates which are still under construction. I tend to update these about once every three months or so. Cheers Andy From: Andy Robinson [mailto:ajrli...@gmail.com] Sent: 08 March 2019 08:58 To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org
