ok.. now without joking, It may be the Tibetan Sky Burial Ground. http://sctrip.souxw.com/kktours_ta/raiders/show_2718.html

xinduqiao is a prison factory, you can see several walled off areas in town.

It’s probably a message for the town or the prisoners.

Looking up Ganzi Prison reveals some scary stuff.

Here’s the ‘person’ icon in Kyoto Japan. osm.org/?lat=35.043226&lon=135.731235&zoom=18&layers=M

A lot of people put symbols on the side of mountains in chalk or white rocks. England does it, and Japan has a bunch of these around Kyoto. Kyoto osm.org/?lat=35.066487&lon=135.73441&zoom=18&layers=M

if it helps, I double checked the Georgia straight, and those navigation points appeared ok.

Could someone double check this before we fix the boundary? osm.org/browse/way/192178744

Ok. well, here’s the Nad83 coordinates in decimal format Degree + minute/60 + second/3600

I used gpsbabel to create a gpx file but OSM didn’t like the format. I tried to upload a gpx, and got to a point where I could edit with the waypoints on the screen. I’ll leave the data here for now. It’s clear the portland canal should only have 28 markers in it.

The official coordianates are listed at http://internationalboundarycommission.org/products.html#coordinates

How do we convert Nad27 or nad 83 into a format that osm can import as a gps track?

The idiot spammers are wasting their time because these web pages are tagged with ‘no follow’ to prevent search engines from following links.

regarding another Sandy Island which had wikipedia editors confused, why doesn’t the Lacepede’s Sandy Island render on OSM? osm.org/browse/way/187645473 is it because it’s from Oct 25?

and notes on how to tag cycle networks. osm.wiki/Key:ncn#Tagging_Cycle_Route_Networks

Also, http://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/en/ will show bike routes.

here’s a link to the transcanada trail http://tctrail.ca/explore-the-trail/ which runs through winnipeg.

for the non signed routes, you can go with ‘lcn=proposed’ it will render as a dashed line in open cyclemap after a few weeks.

I used to put lcn=yes on ways, but lately, for longer routes with names, I’ve been using the relation editor.
In the potlatch tag editor, click the advanced tag, then on the bottom left, you will have a ‘add to’ link.. click ‘add to’ then ‘new relation’ then ‘local cycling network’ if it’s a neighbourhood route, The Name of the route will be the route’s name. the Reference will be the name it’s rendered so you can call it Trans Canada Trail Cycle Route - and give it a reference of TCT Then, to make the route longer, you add more segments to the cycle route relation. You can select multiple segments with CTRL-CLICK if your potlatch editor is behaving nicely and add multiple route segments at a time.

If you map it as ‘highway = service and as a private access driveway, gps devices will be smart enough to not use the road for routing.

It probably got onto the tiger maps because it was a long driveway that looked like a rural road.

Here’s what private roads look like on the map. osm.org/?lat=49.22943&lon=-122.75923&zoom=16&layers=M

For me, normal cars use road=minor. Jeeps, logging trucks, farm tractors and all terrain vehicles can use Tracks.

A lot of tracks are turned into bridleways or cycleways. For example, you can have a service road on top of a dyke, mostly used as a bike path, but service vehicles will use it if they need to access the dyke for maintenance.

My guess, it that you may have tracks on the flat terrain with vehicles prohibited, with footpaths in the rocks of the crater rim.

I’m assuming the geography is due to being an impact crater.

Well, it looks like someone was there with a GPS, as there are is a gps track.

It looks like averaging tracks based on what your eyes see is likely a better solution. When I average tracks by hand, I tend to go with the points where two tracks intersect.

Looking at your graphs, the algorithm needs some work.

Best of luck. You may find that the imported data overlaps over user added data.

Only thing I noticed with Canvec is that some of the railway data can be off.

Another place to convert ‘highway=residential’ to track would be in the Desert areas so that tourists dont get routed on 4 wheel drive tracks.
