Dave, As others have pointed out there is no particular way to do this, but I find that cycling round the roads with a helmet mounted video camera, speaking out the road names/house numbers as I go past. Often it takes a few visits to get everything correct, but even if it is not perfect it can still be helpful.
The advantage I find with video is you get more context than still images. However I sometimes also use still images to try and triangulate the positions of parts I can't access, or upload to Mapillary to allow others to use them for other purposes. For building outlines, I usually just estimate the size based on the number of houses and the length of road from the GPS traces, offsetting back from the road by eye. I tend to draw simple boxes, rather than try and be too accurate. Once new imagery is available (every year or so), the size/shape can be tweaked. Hope this helps, Donald On Fri, 8 Mar 2019 at 10:37 Dave Abbott <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm quite new to OSM, and am wondering how I might go about mapping new > housing plots in my area. > > In general, there is nothing on the imagery - I know I can walk the new > streets and map them with GPS - but how to go about mapping the new > buildings? > > Is there a guide I can look at? > > TIA, > > Dave Abbott > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-GB mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > -- View my photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/drnoble/
