Sorry, no knowledge at all, but just wanted to say that it sounds great and that I am really excited to see what it is capable of! Keep up the good work and thanks for that!

Oh, I just read in their wiki:

“Special” buildings

We’re using a proprietary modeled building database (check the Eiffel Tower) transfered as a binary form. They can be disabled using the “F4 specific buildings” button in the graphic options window.

It’s a shame they don’t give us more information about the source!

I don’t understand where the Grand Palais structure comes from (in your last link). This is very advanced 3D mapping, and looking at the data, I can’t see any special tag… Does someone know more about that?

Bienvenido! Que te diviertes participando al proyecto :)

This is crazy! You should probably mention this in the OSM wiki to make sure everyone is aware. What do you use to record the GPS tracks? Is it an iOS software? Have you tried with a third-party GPS tracker from the app-store?

Added on the RSS wiki page. Maybe we should mention it on the QA wiki page too?

Great work, thanks for that!!

Hola.

Le agradeciéramos de no seguir con esto.

Gracias.

This place is for talks related to OSM, not for advertising. Thanks.

Merci pour ça ! Bonne continuation sur OSM !

Hi Dante Jones

I’m happy to give a hand with this if you need it, as I work at UQ and I often contribute around there.

Let me know how you go.

Cheers!

Thanks for your comments! I might participate in the discussion, it seems there is a lot to debate about concerning parking spaces :) I will definitely be using OSM help and the wiki talk pages more for this kind of questions, instead of my diary. Learning lots, thanks everyone!

Hi Bernard and aseerel4c26

Thank you both for your input!

The detail in Key:capacity escaped my attention. However, this brings another question: in the case of the single parking space, should I still use Capacity=1 even though I already have Capacity:disabled=1, i.e. is a the value of a parent key implied when only a more specific key is used and has value already?

Here is a quote from the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:Tag:amenity=parking page on the wiki: “Use a node for smaller car parks, or an area for a larger car park (but not both for the same facility) and tag it with amenity=parking. If you don’t know the actual car park area or don’t have time to draw it out then just tag a node.” It kind of makes sense to use areas to be as precise as possible, I guess it is the goal of the project (a map that is readable even without a satellite imagery background).

Regarding your question, Bernard, the single disabled parking spot is along the street, and the motorcycle space is sort of on the sidewalk, between the street and the school parking access. (The closest Bing zoom is not up to date.)

I will have a look into mapping more precisely and adding access roads.

Thanks again! :)

Hi DaCor

I will look into this plugin. I have been using the orthogonalizing tool yesterday - very useful to make buildings look neater.

Cheers!

That sounds good! I might do that taking photos when surveying. Cheers!

Thanks for those tips, UUN! Good to know people are working on Brisbane!

I hope to do more addresses when I have a camera to do Photo Mapping.

Cheers!

@Vclaw : Thanks for the tip, that changes everything! @Vanuan : That one looks very promising! However, it freezes very easily for me… Is it supposed to be made for mobile devices? @Sanderd17 : Great, thank you for your insight. I thought MapQuest was only using OSM data for their service - now I understand better!

I will be trying to get used to JOSM in the next few days, as this seems to be the best alternative when weighing all the pros and cons. One particular feature that I am looking forward to is photo mapping.

Cheers everyone!

Great, thanks for the tip, Zartbitter! So much to learn!

Thanks everyone for your comments!

_sev, how do you check the alignment?
