Boondall Survey

CatastropheAsh님이 English로 2009년 7월 9일에 게시함.

I was told I had to come up with an amusing blog post chronicling my adventures this afternoon, so this is it I guess.

Disclaimer: The following content may indeed not be amusing. Continue reading at your peril.

I mounted my bicycle this afternoon in the aim of cleaning up some more nonames and getting some footpaths I knew existed out of the way.

I loaded my phone up with maps, and headed off from my place and down the Boondall Wetlands bikeway. It took me through to the back of the entertainment centre, and the fun started from there.

I surveyed a few different bits (and quite a lot more than I'd intended to,) starting with the little grassed parkland at the edge of the wetlands. I continued through to take a trace of a long and seemingly completely useless footpath through the entertainment centre, and then went on a contorted journey around the streets of Boondall, collecting street names all the while.

It was really quite good, and nothing like the last time I tried to cycle-map. This time the area was (relatively) flat, and I presume the exercise I've been getting recently has given me more endurance. The only time I actually felt tired in the three hours of cycling was when I was powering down St Vincents Road on my way home, going a little faster than 30 km/hour.

I'd like to be able to say that after of all that, I've finally completed the area. There's still a bunch of dumb aisle roads through the car park in the entertainment centre though, as well as a dumb tertiary road through the southern-most estate that has three different names, of which I've only got two. Other than that the area's looking pretty good, and could probably be declared complete (to the right of Sandgate Road, at least,) after a little perfectionist landuse tweaking.

I've also been experimenting with multipolygon relations to punch holes in some of the larger areas, but judging by the render at the moment, I think I may have messed it up.

Everyone knows that blogging is more for the writer than the reader ;).

Where are the multipolygons? I've done a few and could help debug them.

Have fun with all those nonames. It's amazing how much faster it is collecting pre-traced street names than it is tracing everything. Pretty much everything's been traced by now, but all those people who were against mindless street tracing had obviously never compared the two mapping methods.

I wondered if you hit "send" ahead of time. Waiting for the punchline. Yes, I feel misled and want my money back ;~)

Sorry to disappoint. :)

the relations I'm trying to get jiving are in the lake, and the park in the wetlands. It looks like someone else might have fiddled with them, but I don't have the time to find out what happened at the moment.
