Steve, Just a reminder, landuse is to tag what the land is used for. landuse=forest is for areas that have harvestable wood products, ie trees. Just because there was a fire doesn't mean the landuse changes. Landcover is a better tag for burnt areas as well as areas just clearcut. On Thu, Sep

Brian if I may - adding transparent=true on to the end of the URL will allow the street layer to be transparent so satelite imagery can be used along with the streets. The URL would be http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map=true After selecting the layer using

Re: [Talk-us] Establishing Tasks for South Bay Sidewalks

Vivek, I email you an email address off line to get admin privilages to the US Tasking Manager. What help do you need using the US Tasking Manager. I used it to map sidewalks in Mount Vernon, WA. Have you thought about what scheme to map sidewalks? I've been won over to mapping them as

Re: [Talk-us] Ferry durations

I update Martijn overpass query to find ferry routes without a duration tag. Washington State is considered to have the largest ferry system in the world, but damm, I didn't know there were so many ferry routes in the state! These are just the one's without a duration tag. I have emails into a

Re: [Talk-us] SEO Damage to OSM

I'm looking for input on doing a post on the Reddit/r/SEO subreddit describing some of the damage done by a few and why adding their clients to OSM won't help. What concerns me is that it will create another TheSilphRoad where every Pokemon player wants to add fake water features. Do you think it

Re: [Talk-us] SEO Damage to OSM

[Talk-us] SEO Damage to OSM

Edits, from what appears to be a search engine optimization company (SEO), have damaged a number of ways in the US. Martijn Van Exel pointed out the problem on Slack the other day. What they did was to add their client to a street, often changing the name of the street to the company. Fortunately

Re: [Talk-us] rasters of climate change

Not sure if talk-us is the best place to ask. We don't use raster data for much more than background tracing. The only suggestion I have is to look at Landviewer [1] for areas you know that have been reported as having climate changes impacts and compare years. Landsat will go back a number of
