Street Listing | IainMacLean, Thank you. I followed your link and you have accomplished exactly what I was trying to do for Barrie, ON. My question is: how did you do it and what did I do wrong? Can you explain what you mean by "I had to go in one more level than I would have liked" I have many more cities to do. Even if the method is cumbersome, it is so much better than my other options. Please teach me. |

Street Listing | Vclaw, Just noticed the option on http://www.maposmatic.org/ to create a map using a "bounding box". Do you know what this is? When I try it, it starts in France and won't let me change to Canada. Then it gives the error that the bounding box is too large and returns to "No Localization". I think I must be doing something very wrong or am going crazy. |

Street Listing | Vclaw, Thank you. I'll bet you are right on the mark on this one. Sounds like chillly's suggestion of http://www.maposmatic.org/ is a good idea. But, every city I tried came up greyed-out with no data available. I thought maposmatic was based on the openstreetmaps.org database of street which seems amazingly comprehensive. Certainly, it has may streets in Barri,ON. But, it shows unavailable in maposmatic. Do you think I am accessing it wrong? |

Street Listing | Vclaw,

Street Listing | Vclaw, I also found it rather odd that all street names in Barrie staret with A,B,C,D,E No streets with letters F-Z are listed. Could this be? Or maybe it only returns a partial list? |

Street Listing | Thank you both! chillly: I tried http://www.maposmatic.org/ but Barrie, ON was greyed out.Same for many common cities-like Boston, MA. I guess this means that no data is available for these locations?. But, I like this service because it can provide a csv file which would be ideal. Am I doing it right? Vclaw: Thank you for actually checking that Barrie, ON works on this service. It appears to be very comprehensive. Wondering if the output can be in a data format easily uploaded (csv?)or maybe can I write a program to extract from this list? Am I permitted to use and/or sell a product that uses this data? I am most concerned about having only the streets in the city listed-it is OK if I have extra, just not be missing any. So, I would probably grab an area larger than the city anyway. How confident are you that the data and/or streets list is complete? Steve |
