JohnSmith, in all the harping on you've done about licensing in the past, you've never given me any reason to think you know remotely what you're talking about.

Bye!

Doing sidewalks like this doesn't tend to turn out very well, and it creates a huge mess. Generally, sidewalks are assumed to be present on most roads.

The major problem with it is it screws with routing. A routing engine sending you down a "sidewalk" footway has no way of knowing that you can actually cross the street (get to the sidewalk footway) at any point along the street, and as a result ends up sending you on some ridiculous roundabout routes.

Congratulations, 6online - you've just shown yourselves to be spammers.

Thanks spammer.

That's one of the best OSM cakes I've seen.

Are you sure they're not from OS OpenData Streetview/Locator?

I did the majority of bedford from gps tracks. I have since verified most of them from OS streetview. Which roads are we talking about?

Welcome!

Ireland is a treasure trove of mapping potential.

I met a man on the guided busway to St Ives...

Except you're not getting the data for free.

All these things you're talking about take developer time to implement, server capacity to process and using all these different local datums around the world would massively (massively) complicate the project's data model.

Doing this for accuracy that almost nobody will ever use (NOBODY should be using osm for surveying) is not a top developer priority.

Where I say detail, I mean accuracy.

No. Almost nobody contributing to OSM has a way of generating data with this high detail. The number representation of the coordinates in the DB, depending where you are on the planet, just about gives you this level of accuracy if you're lucky.

2006? Heh, that's pretty new for yahoo imagery.

In fact if I recall correctly the _original_ editing java applet (what we had before potlatch) was written in processing.

"hope i can enjoying stay here for a while."

Goodbye spammer.

Really nice. Thanks on behalf of everyone that likes to monitor their local area.

Hey, if you're vandalizing the map (even if it's data you entered in the first place), your deletion changesets will simply be reverted.

Yeah the gimp was never designed for huge (scientific-size) images.

I'm not convinced this sort of transient subjective information belongs in OSM. I appreciate you want to create a map for the event, and OSM provides some neat tools for doing that, but the place you have mapped is only going to exist as the 'bunker bash' for two days. It currently is some sort of event ground or field I assume, and afterwards it will go back to being that.
