Re: [Talk-us] Available Building Footprints

Steve, I'm not sure how or why you are jumping to the conclusion that because a wiki page was created that somehow means the import has already occurred. Your impulsive reaction and rants are unwarranted and unappreciated. No one has said anything about importing other than raising the

Re: [Talk-us] Available Building Footprints

California has more than triple the amount of data available than any other state. Importing it will be no small task but doing it in chunks by several people will make it manageable. The buildings in the Bay Area alone in the file stretch from Clear Lake way down to Hollister and run along the

It was indeed part of an import. It has been deleted now. Message: 1 Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:20:37 +0200 From: Blake Girardot To: talk-us Subject: [Talk-us] Long way in Lake County, CA no tags - broken boundary or other relation?

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

I would like to see areas in OSM categorized as either land use, land cover (which we call natural for the most part in OSM) or administrative to clear the confusion. I am also in favor of eliminating the landuse=forest tag at least in its current incarnation and switching any official forested

Re: [Talk-us] Cleaning up California FMMP residential

As the original importer of this data, I support Paul's proposal to selectively delete the larger residential areas, which mostly are too broad to be in OSM. I know the farm data has its problems, especially in the earlier counties where I didn't fully realize how to use techniques to fully

Re: [Talk-us] Anyone ever talked about adding more Land Ownership data to OSM?

It would be awesome to include the land ownership data from BLM especially if we could do it for the whole US. Unfortunately that is probably not something that people would want to add because of the conflicts with other data. I wonder if we could include it on a limited basis or only include

Re: [Talk-us] parcel data in OSM

Parcel data in and of itself are not inherently bad to have in OSM as long as they are filtered and modified before adding. For instance an open space parcel probably isn't that useful because it is not represented in OSM. It could be broken up into meadow, wood, scrub, forest, etc. Other parcel

Re: [Talk-us] NHD imports

In June, user Bsupnik converted the entire NHD dataset into OSM format. The files are available at http://bsupnik.dev.openstreetmap.org/NHD. He mentioned that he was working on creating better quality files. The files that he created look good. They are missing the names though. It looks like they

[Talk-us] Kern County progress

I have begun cleaning up the area around Kern County, California. It is starting to not only look better but be less cluttered. I originally imported landuse data from both Kern County and the City of Bakersfield. Some areas from these two agencies overlapped around Bakersfield, and I have

Re: [Talk-us] Kern County Import Cleanup

Kern County does have its set of unique challenges. As mentioned, the rural areas of Kern County I imported from the official county files tend to be too generalized - either landuse=farm for agricultural land or landuse=residential for any type of residential area even if it is rural

Re: [Talk-us] Fresno castradal imports

Thanks for everyone's comments. I do take pride in making sure my imports are good. That said I realize there are issues with the Fresno import, one of my first imports. But I am not sure if we need to throw out the baby with the bath water just yet. If it comes to that, fine. I think the

[Talk-us] California GIS data is public domain

Try checking with the county planning department. Looks like there are three people in their GIS services department - Greg Bazhaw, Steve Borgstrom and Matthew Thompson. Start with Greg at 408-299-5776 or greg.baz...@pln.sccgov.org. Then try Michael Lopez, the planning manager or Jody Hall, the

[Talk-us] GIS state data

Has anyone had any experience with importing state GIS data? Looks like there is some good information the California state gis site at http://gis.ca.gov/BrowseCatalog.epl and also at the Santa Cruz County gis site at http://gis.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/. It looks like the state data formats are
