Hi Don I'm from Queanbeyan but have mapped some of the nearby towns (including Gunning) back in 2009.
Just this morning I deleted a lot of the ABS boundaries near Gunning since they were obscuring roads that may (or may not) need remapping prior to the licence changeover in April. OSMI (OSM inspector) http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=149.26378&lat=-34.78266&zoom=15 will still show these as red for a few days but then they will disappear and we can see what really needs looking at. These boundaries will all be deleted in April but I'm getting in ahead of time to make remapping the road system a lot easier. I see that there a couple of roads in Gunning that need remapping, which I will do tonight from my original survey data. There are some POI that you have moved to the correct spot but which were originally mapped by a user that has declined the new licence. These will disappear in April so if you could delete them completely and recreate them from you own sources/knowledge then they will be safe from the licence change. There is also the railway that needs remapping. It was first traced from landsat by that same user so we can remap it either from landsat or Bing imagery and can reclaim the tags added by user FK270673. And we can't forget about the HUme Highway either. Thewre a bits that need reclaiming from a declining user that we can recreate from our GPS tracks and/or imagery being careful to discard any information added by decliners. All in all there is a lot of work to be done but on the good side, as I trawl through all the decliner edits, I am finding so many bad errors (and fixing them) so the quality of our data is improving markedly. ( I even found some, almost certainly, copying from commercial mapping that I trashed straight away). There are also some rivers that have been glued to ABS data that need remapping. In my view these are not as important as roads but still every now and then it makes a pleasent diversion from the tedium of checking history values. Cheers Nick
