Hi, I had a bit of a go at the missing street names last night and have developed a workflow and and measures. I'd invite any armchair mappers to help me on this.
I'm getting through about 100 missing names per hour so there is about 28 hours of armchair mapping here that will help quite a bit. I've done most of the bit between Churchill Road, Grand Junction Road, Hampstead Road and the ring route. Measures: Sum the number of missing names and major roads for each OSMI update using the following scripts: As of 2013-11-26 20:52 (UTC) its 304 major and 2607 minor = 2911 total wget "http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/view/highways/wxs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&BBOX=138.42,-35.35,138.92,-34.56&TYPENAME=name_missing_major" -O - | grep ms:way_id | wc -l wget "http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/view/highways/wxs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&BBOX=138.42,-35.35,138.92,-34.56&TYPENAME=name_missing_minor" -O - | grep ms:way_id | wc -l Workflow: step 1 - Identify a rectangular area (bounding box) to work on from http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=highways&lon=138.61652&lat=-34.89897&zoom=11&overlays=name_missing_major,name_missing_minor step 2 - Download Roads.zip from http://data.sa.gov.au/dataset/roads which has street names in it step 3 - Create a new vector layer in QGIS from roads.zip (takes a minute or two) step 4 - select the bounding box identified in step 1 in QGIS (the bounding box tool is in a pull-down icon) step 4 - export the selected objects in this layer to a new shapefile. This gives something that JOSM will load quickly step 5 - Open up JOSM and open the shapefile from step 4 (needs the OpenData plug in), this should be fairly quick and painless step 6 - As a new layer, download part of the area identified at step 1 to work on step 7 - press validate step 8 - for each unnamed way identified at step 7, zoom to it and then alter the visible layer to identify the name, then edit in the correct name and use a tag "source:name"="data.sa.gov.au". Remove fixme=name tags if present step 9 - repeat steps 7 and 8 until no unnamed ways are left step 10 - time permitting have a look at other JOSM identified validation errors step 11 - repeat step 6 to 10 until the whole area is covered step 12 - repeat steps 1 to 11 until all of Adelaide is fixed Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walker Garth (DPTI)" To:"[email protected]" Cc: Sent:Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:32:04 +1030 Subject:[talk-au] South Australia - Public Transport / OSM data Currently we’ve identified that there are several areas of OSM which require tagging for pedestrian access, which impacts our open trip planning routing options. · Street Address Limitations ( missing streets and street numbers)
