Congratulations to everyone who has been working on the OSM maps in Canberra
they are really excellent. I just spent a weekend in Canberra and used OSM maps
loaded into my Garmin to get around. There was no part of Canberra that I went
to that had significant missing data even the outlying villages such as Sutton
and Gundaroo were well mapped.
When I was down at the National Gallery I came across differences between some
street signs and the streets recorded in OSM. Heading west from Kings Avenue
down King Edward Terrace, OSM has running down to the lake:
1) Parkes Place
2) Parkes Place
3) Mall Road West
4) Parkes Place West
However the road signs seemed to be:
1) Commonwealth Place
2) Parkes Place
3) ...... (I didn't check this one)
4) Commonwealth Place
The road labelled Parkes place West in OSM also runs away from the lake and I
didn't check what the road sign was for that direction from King Edward Terrace.
I haven't updated the map as my partner pointed out that the NGA address is
Parkes Place and so I checked the UBD and that agreed with the current OSM
settings. Has anyone had a look at this?
Regards
Neil Penman
