Re: [Talk-us] mapping job - unconnected _link roads

Thanks for looking at this. Yes, the disused=yes would probably catch
a few, if and when I do another run on more recent data I will take it
into account.
The other ones would likely have been fixed since, I actually looked
at a few of them in WA earlier tonight.

Some of the false positives were freeway links that are shown as
disused=yes.  They were on freeways that abruptly ended.   Adding in sql
code to omit disused=yes would catch some.  Most of the other false
positives were at connections between motorway links and the main freeway.
  Not sure I understand why.  I couldn't see a pattern for those.  Only one
possibility comes to mind - the nodes were connected after you grabbed the
data.

The example I gave isn't great - these _link roads are actually
connected, they just dangle. But there are lots that are actually not
connected. It looks OK on the map usually, and it's easy to miss when
you're editing, but this type of error messes up routing.

[Talk-us] mapping job - unconnected _link roads

2012-05-29 Thread Martijn van Exel
Hi,

I've been looking at unconnected _link roads (see here [1] for a
typical example) for the US, and found 1200 likely candidates. A
shapefile as well as an .osm file you can load in JOSM can be
downloaded here: http://lima.schaaltreinen.nl/osm/
The script I ran (on osmosis snapshot + linestring schema) is here:
https://github.com/mvexel/osm-gradesep/blob/unconnectedlinknodes/sql/09-missinglinknodes.sql
There are some false positives in there, but it looks like more than
90% of these nodes warrant inspection.
I ran this analysis on the last planet from before 1/4, so some of
this may already have been fixed.

Several other of his older change sets have been reverted already.

Warmbag fixed http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/8351104 so
reverting that one would cause more harm.

One chrangeset is in my area, looks dubious.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11454677

The change for Kimberly St, is giving a street name for an un-named
new-development street. Could be correct, could be vanity.

Lexington Drive cites source = Google Maps, which isn't kosher here;
also he assigned name to new development, could be vanity; no source
for speed limit added.

Albermarle Road (9279766) is duplicated, with addition hgv = no  added
 for two blocks  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hgv
looks dubious, there are houses and cross streets.

Wolcott Avenue (9242832) added access tags only

Coney Street (131624307) added cycleway = opposite_lane , which per
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway?uselang=en-US would
only be appropriate with  oneway=yes, which this does not have. I
haven't driven that block of Coney, but this seems inappropriate.

I could do a drive by on Saturday to check if Kimberly and Lexington
signs have been posted since BING imagery showed dirt, but looks bad
in other ways .

I will send a message to contributor OceanVortex whose changes were
potentially vandalized in case he(or she) has input.

Hi all,

Can someone check in on these edits from a wiki-vandal who was recently
banned from Wikimedia sites? They also made some bad edits on our wiki that
have since been reverted, but we should check to make sure his edits in the
map were ok:

Sure. But that would support their being shown at close zooms, not all

Agreed. But so is every paved road. What OCM does is give more 
prominence to a track (even one marked access=private!) than a 
residential street, for example right in the middle of here:

Re: [Talk-us] Topo map source?

2012-05-29 Thread F Hillhouse Jr
Following is a copy and paste from another list I monitor:


Thanks to everyone who contacted us regarding their use of MSR
Maps. We are going to keep the service going at this time - though
the service will not be updated. However, we do need to move and
upgrade the servers that are hosting the service today. This will
likely cause some down time over the next few weeks. We will try to
keep this down time as minimal as possible. Be assured, the service
will come back up!

Thank you in advance for your patience.

[Talk-us] proposed automated edit: forested wetlands

2012-05-29 Thread Nathan Edgars II
The landuse import for Georgia (which IMO is poor-quality and should be 
deleted, but that's not going to happen) has a bunch of areas tagged as 
note = Forested Wetland with no useful natural=* tags (since 
natural=wood and natural=wetland both apply). Example: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31457349


I propose to fix these.

But what would be the best tags to use? Would natural=wetland 
wetland=swamp ("An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation.") 
be correct? Or is it better to choose natural=* tag and add a 
multipolygon for the other?

[Talk-us] UK assumptions that don't hold in the U.S.

2012-05-29 Thread Nathan Edgars II
I've noticed some odd things on OpenCycleMap and other renderings, and I 
think it's due to a difference in how things are in the UK vs. here.


*Most railways have passenger service. Thus OCM (and the transport map) 
show all rail lines.
*Tracks are useful for cycling. When you zoom in on OCM, tracks are 
highlighted the same as footways. But a track is just a narrow (usually) 
unpaved road, and is worse for cycling than a low-traffic paved road. 
This also shows up on renderings such as http://www.itoworld.com/map/26 
where tracks are included in "path/cycle-path etc" rather than "road".
