[Talk-us] Mass towns

2011-10-19 Thread Metcalf, Calvin (DOT)
As towns are the primary division in MA that peole tend to use I'd like to add them to osm. From what I can tell a few have been put in near NH as boundary relations (tyngsborough and dunstable) one has been put in as a closed way (stow) and 10 or so have been put in in the south west as

So on ubuntu you can open up a self extracting exe with archive manager (I smacked myself in the head when I learned that, turns out massgis makes them on linux). I'm not familiar with shp-to-osm.jar link? I've been using Merkaartor to convert, but that usually forces me to then use kate or

Yeah ways on top of ways would be bad, I grabbed the massgis arcs from survey points without coast which is a file that has just the linework with off shore boundaries, the ways are currently already split at junctions, my method is going to be 1. take out counties boundaries and state

sounds good. I think some of the county borders are already in the map as overlapping Ways, and I was planning on cleaning those up eventually. On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 9:05 AM, Metcalf, Calvin (DOT) calvin.metc...@state.ma.us wrote: Yeah ways on top of ways would be bad, I grabbed the massgis

So how about you post the .osm file with the simplified ways, with admin8 boundary tags? And maybe admin6 and admin4 if you'd like? pgpotcIrYjnTZ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org

I belive the Mass state line, like NH extends into the ocean as well. While some of the towns or counties may not, the legal border should conform to what is proscribed. Just as the border between NH and VT conforms largely to the western edge of the Connecticut River except where they both

[Talk-us] NE2 doing mass retaggings

So NE2 just did a bunch of work on Kansas highway relations. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/NE2/edits Some of it was ok but he also removed the name=* tag from the 60-something relations I have already done. I know that the name tag isn't really needed for some of these relations but it is a

Dave, I think calling him Nathan is a bit silly, since it's not his real name. I also must say I've had problems with NE2. He's fixed up areas of DC he's never been to, but worse, he's threatened to remove whole cities from the map. My frustration with this mapper are fairly high at this point.
