Re: [Talk-us] Consensus on SR for state route versus state abbreviation?

2012-09-13 Thread David ``Smith''
Concerning ref tags on ways, I don't think there's a need to impose nationwide consistency. I also don't think it's worth even adhering to a strict machine-parseable syntax (particularly dealing with overlaps) since that kind of information is much better organized in relations. That said, here

[Talk-us] Highway shield rendering: What's the blocker?

2012-09-13 Thread Richard Weait
if I remember correctly, the US Local Chapter was planning to render highway shields, now that combined shield and overlap rendering is solved. What happened to that? Is there a blocker? If so, what is / are the blocker(s)? There appears to be periodic community interest in highway shields.

David, I agree with much of what you said. However, I'm not sure why the size of a state should make a difference in what abbreviation is used. Large or small, shouldn't the state abbreviation be consistent? Also, in the B section, where you suggest US 1 plus US 9

can't wait! Unfortunately, I don't have enough disk space to import a ODbL planet while keeping the CC planet up. I need an up-to-date ways table to run the Fairy Dust against for the Remap-a-tron. Or more to the point: I need a current osmosis snapshot schema ways table (with ways geometry) and

[Talk-us] Canada and US Imagery bounds

2012-09-13 Thread Paul Norman
I've gone and updated the imagery bounds and bboxes for both Potlatch 2 and JOSM for the North American imagery sources. JOSM should now only suggest a source if it actually covers the area. Potlatch 2 will still suggest sources even if they don't cover the area because potlatch 2 only supports
