Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] TriMet will begin OSM improvements in the Portland area

Hi Tom, Could you post a link to the area you imported? Not all tags are rendered in the default Mapnik styling. Maybe we could help figure out exactly what is going one. Thanks, Kate user:wonderchook On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 7:17 PM, Tom Ponte t...@bendbroadband.com wrote: PJ, I would be

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] TriMet will begin OSM improvements in the Portland area

Hi Tom, First, let me say that ESRI has been great regarding the OSM Editor. I contacted them with our problems, they responded within minutes, and now we're working together on determining if our problems are operator-based or editor-based. We encountered 5 main problems: 1) Revision table

Re: [Talk-us] TriMet will begin OSM improvements in the Portland area

Hi Alan, The aerials are currently for jurisdictional use only. There does seem to be a push for making data public - maybe someday they will be available. I don't know. We are using the aerials to determine the accuracy of OSM and RLIS, so we just use it as a background layer. In some cases,

Re: [Talk-us] TriMet will begin OSM improvements in the Portland area

[Talk-us] Trimet updates to OSM in Portland, Oregon area - workflow

Regarding the updates to OSM by 4 Trimet interns, in 4 counties around Portland, Oregon... Our updated workflow is still in testing, but we have found this to work, albeit, slowly. Using ArcMap 10, we are creating reference geodatabases in which to organize and store our jurisdictional data. -
