Thanks Ben that's a great idea. I'll keep whatever nodes I can and
extrapolate from there.
I really didn't want this raising old wounds, nor do I want people
dwelling on it. I was just letting the community know that someone
(i.e. me) is working on this particular piece of infrastructure, so
that hopefully others will start rebuilding other stuff. There are
plenty of things needing attention.
Does it make sense to come up with a priority list of targets to
remap? I'm thinking coastlines, lakes, islands, waterways, major road,
rail, etc..
I reckon most "Joe-Blow" contributors in Australia are blissfully
unaware of the various license inspector tools available and the
actions needed to be taken. How do we wake them up?

Hi.
Many rail lines in Sydney would be traced from nearmap. Unless you
have a survey grade GPS the existing points are probably more
accurate. We can keep points mapped from nearmap even if we recreate
the ways. (I haven't checked to see if the nodes are CT-OK - hoping
they are. )

I just want to add, that I think the original v1 creator of Sydney's
railways (JohnSmith) had done a fantastic job, and I had shown a few
people at RailCorp who were very impressed with the level of detail
- so I want it on record that I take no pleasure in having to delete
and remap his fantastic work, but I guess it's time to bunker down
because it just has to be done.
No doubt.
However, for the record, all of Sydney's railways were largely
mapped before JohnSmith.
I'm confident there would be substantial history there that could be
recovered for most rail lines and stations prior to his involvement
if required (although the degree to which it was compliant would
still have to be determined).
Regardless, I'm sure your remapping will be superior.
Ian.
