-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I hope ye are all having fun mapping all those townlands! We've just crossed the 50% barrier, and are almost at 30,000. A new thing you can do with the old maps is map lake names! Overpass Turbo can help with this. If you go to this Overpass page http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/9Jw and zoom to an area and press "run", it will show you all unnamed lakes. Then "Export", then "JOSM". It'll have opened up those unnamed lakes in your JOSM. Use the GSGS maps to add the name (and "water=lake" as appropriate). You don't need to download any extra data. Upload when done! It's surprising how many unnamed lakes there are in OSM, and this can help you really knock some off. I use JOSM's filter feature ( https://www.mapbox.com/blog/2012-08-15-using-filters-josm/ ), with the query "name=* and water=*" to hide lakes that I've already named. Happy Mapping. :) Rory -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVbw8PAAoJEOrWdmeZivv2AyQIAJvLrx5snofBSltOrBk5AKXn NWNIJHWsNvsJ+aQMxDfP7aBSrwPErhKlA3YGOKrVtgKJPXgpBUJAHUDCKivgvFou 5sFinqMrI9N1AM1J3wAH50xA2PEQrr6ewhjf0UUJHeTtOSoSbQl1D6RepDWzV4fb 1Kniwhgae56PSU3dujjuNtrzT5LKGmPrEbrLjsJKz4Qm/ixGEaqav+mSr3LTjTMK e5zT6mRKVTj3BvnwKEf64sYUi5VFjq63VJVVrLk3GPJqmwfYSh+3mO0R+YZWRnOp sOu2LGwxV2r3zBtLXlYvH6ayXjbxKvJG5agsymRoJoE/TDSqGWd/kSCqFVN92L0= =lWNI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
