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.

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.

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?

Vclaw,
Nw tha I look at the data more closely, I see the same street name list many times. Any idea what this means?

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?

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?
