Re: [Talk-us] Missouri: Bulk-importing addresses by county

This is the correct list. Ideally you could include building outlines as well as addresses in your project. This might be a good project to involve other mappers. Doing the work in small chunks should help improve data quality. We've found that the street names can differ from not only what OSM

[Talk-us] Dakota County, MN Street Data Available

I ran a few selections and queries to compare OSM data with the Dakota County street centerline data. Basically, looking for alignment differences and mostly for new streets not yet in OSM. Focused on local streets. I posted them on Github for anyone with time to download and edit into OSM -

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

Hi Charlotte, good to hear from you, hope all is well! Essentially, yes to all that (except I'm not sure on landuse=conservation); looks 'depreciated' via http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse As far as how to 'properly tag' the various types of 'National' protected areas, I think

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

Russ, I think you have come closest to a good general description of something with multiple uses. Yes, above all, U.S. national forests are protected. So, does that mean that tagging is boundary=protected_area and landuse=conservation, along with, of course, tagging of

[Talk-us] Missouri: Bulk-importing addresses by county

Not sure if this is the right ML to ask on, but I couldn't find a missouri-specific list. I started marking street numbers manually a bit today. However, looking at the edits made to my town (Columbia, MO) every other edit is made by bots or by people far away participating in various remote

[Talk-us] Open position for an administrative assistant to the OSMF board

Hi all, The OSM Foundation has an open position for a part time administrative assistant to the board of directors (on which I sit). We have a blog post that talks about it[0] which has a link to the job description and explains how to apply as well. Please consider applying if you believe

Re: [Talk-us] Improving the classification of roads in SF

Arun, Road classification has been discussed at length on this list, most recently I think in a lengthy thread started last September by Toby. There is no guideline for the United States that would unambiguously map every road to a class in OSM. Several pages on the wiki take a stab at this,

[Talk-us] ImproveOSM data refresh and some updates

Hi all, ImproveOSM has just seen a data refresh that I thought I’d let you know about. We ran the latest GPS data against OSM data from May 4 and the results are live on the ImproveOSM web site and JOSM plugins. That said, don’t hesitate to let me know if you find data you think is incorrect

[Talk-us] Improving the classification of roads in SF

While adding missing turn restrictions in SF using Mapillary around Market Street, i noticed that the classification of many of the roads seem inconsistent, especially since someone had retagged Market as tertiary (from primary?) after traffic restrictions that came into effect last year. I did

Hi Greg and all, Sorry, I either need a refund on that Forestry degree or have to call this out as incorrect: Perhaps the problem here is the multiple roles that the the US Forest Service plays. Note that that name is from the olden days. Now the service is know as the National Park
