The third sin of OpenStreetMap

Scammell Lane (also written as Scammell Street) is shown in historic maps from 1985 in this document: https://data.environment.sa.gov.au/content/heritage-surveys/hindmarsh-heritage-survey-part-1-general-1985.pdf So definitely the legitimate name for the alley. Named after Luther Robert Scammell, a notable resident of Hindmarsh. No idea how the original mapper knew this though.

OSM and Mapillary - How I do it now - March 2025

Amazing, thanks for all your work and the writeup. Your photos have helped my mapping in rural areas many times.

Thanks for the comment. It was my intention to share the styles, I tried exporting the qml style and loading it onto a previous version of QGIS on a different PC but it wasn’t playing nice with me, but I didn’t troubleshoot it very hard yet so there’s a good chance I was doing something wrong, probably something simple. Will put a bit more work into getting more tags set up and fine tuning. Perhaps I’ll put it on github. Watch this space

Thanks a lot for the tip Adrian 2! I will definitely do that next time, that sounds much more useful and good to cut down on the number of softwares needed in the workflow. JOSM continues to impress me.

@o_andras Ah, thanks, I will consider it, probably when the list gets longer. I’ll do some more work on it soon. Cheers

The V6MPack is amazing. I saw the images on mapillary. What stitching software do you use and how do you cameras are synced? Excellent results and thanks for sharing.

Very nice setup and design! Was thinking of doing something similar with regards to putting the antenna on top. The helical antenna certainly has a smaller form factor. I suppose it is easy to access the microSD slot by turning the camera?

Thanks a lot for the advice @StephaneP. I don’t use JOSM a whole lot so I didn’t realise that this was a function - very handy. Will see how it goes and update the diary entry accordingly.

@o_andras This was intended to be more of an informal appendix for my other diary post here: @2hu4u/diary/399857
