Re: [OSM-talk] Rendering issues with Carto 4.0

Regarding the 15,000 in Canada and 8,000 in New Zealand from imports, is this a case where a mechanical edit to fix them would be appropriate (with appropriate planning of course). Something like mechanically doing all the version 1 objects with the relevant source tags would save a lot of manual

Re: [OSM-talk] Message error on umap

The delimeter is what separates one "cell" of data in the CSV file from the next. Umap is telling you it cannot automatically determine what character you are using to separate the fields. You will either need to tell it what character you are using manually (not sure how this is done on the umap

Re: [OSM-talk] GeoChat

It is a great little tool.  Simple, but surprisingly effective. It actually works amazingly well when coupled with a voice chat program.  In HOT we use mumble for voice and the geochat plugin combined with that allows mappers to "point" to objects in imagery by centering on them and then lettin

You can hit the "back" button in the browser to go back to the list after clicking on one (this is not obviously communicated to the user but it does work). I agree in general though that this part of the site is not great UI wise. Not sure what to do to change it for the better, but it defin
