[Talk-us] NHD data conversion

I was watching with anticipation the conversation about pre-converting NHD data for the whole US, but it seems to have died down since June. I think I'm the target audience for this effort (I'm willing to put in time merging the data in carefully, but I'm not conversant in the command-line tools

[Talk-us] Chicago L updates

I've been putting in some time on the Brown Line in Chicago, adding detail to the stations and plugging in the Public Transport[1] tags. I'm pretty much done with it, and I thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has any comments. The Overpass diagram generator seems to like it [2] [3] but

Re: [Talk-us] Newly tweaked TIGER road names tiles

Looks good to me! Would it be possible to get this added to the list of default imagery layers in Potlatch? Or, ideally, to replace the TIGER 2011 layer? It's a pain to have to add it in manually every time I start up Potlatch... Ben ___ Talk-us mailing

Re: [Talk-us] Take another look at notes!

It's probably worth pointing out that the tiles Craigslist is using are pretty out of date. For example, they don't show the buildings in Chicago that were imported a couple of months ago. Hopefully Craigslist users won't get too frustrated when the problems they point out don't appear to be fixed

[Talk-us] USGS topo maps not working?

The USGS topographic map layer isn't appearing for me as a background in Potlatch. I'm looking at it in this general area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.18018lon=-85.57084zoom=15layers=M Is this layer turned off / on the fritz / just very slow? - Ben Miller

Re: [Talk-us] Best iOS app for GPS wander, GPX to laptop into OSM?

I like MotionX-GPS for recording tracks. You can easily export and share them in GPX format via email. It's not free, but for a regular mapper it would be $2 well spent. You can also use OSM map tiles in the app, although I'm pretty sure that it's MotionX's own rendering, and it's not usually

Re: [Talk-us] Gosh ... something about mapping ...

I'm not familiar with the MUTCD, and a little Googling didn't get me any clarification, but I'm guessing that "motor-driven cycles" refers to mopeds and such, not to motorcycles. On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 8:21 AM Simon Poole wrote: > To give us all a break from the usual political
