Yes, I've wanted to make it a far more automatic and less hands-on system, but the thing holding that up is the fact that the results from the tool are often a little tricky to interpret. GPS traces are generally full of many types of "noise" from GPSs that are having a bit of a fit to people getting out of the car and going for a small walk with the GPS. In the future I would like to develop a more automatic way of flagging "problems" on a trace as little yellow notes asking "is the speed limit right here?", "were you going the wrong way down a one-way street here?", "is this really a no-right-turn here?". But I haven't got to the point of figuring that out yet. Once I had such a thing in place it would probably allow for a more automatic approach, but as of now this is the best we have. robert. _______________________________________________ Talk-ZA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-za
