Micro-mapping mainline train stations

dankarran tarafından 26 Kasım 2009 tarihinde English olarak gönderildi.

If you have a mainline train station near you in the UK, you may be interested to know that you can now use the maps from the Network Rail site (e.g. this one for Birmingham New Street) to start filling out the details inside the station. Of course you could just go to the station and map it out using Mapzen POI collector or Walking Papers, but you're much more likely to be stopped and searched :)

I wrote to Network Rail recently asking if it was okay for us to use the location of points of interest from the maps, and they replied to say they're happy for us to derive that information from the maps as long as we reference where the information came from. I would suggest adding a source = Network Rail tag.

Can we trace, and if so how do we set that up? A little more comfortable than eyeballing it - especially for astigmatics such as myself. (Not that it's stopped me eyeballing features before ...)

I suspect tracing should be fine too, just make sure it's all attributed. You could take a snapshot of the PDF, upload it to Map Warper (noting its source and copyright, maybe keeping it private) then rectify it based on the shape of the building.

Re: tracing. Are these maps to scale? The Brum looks a bit schematic* to my untrained eye.

*probably not the word I am looking for, but you know what I mean

Good question, not sure if they're to scale or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're not.

Fantastic - getting GPS signal inside these places was impossible.
