[talk-au] Gordon Lake - Multipolygon relations - I just do not understand

[Stephen Backway]

Brett,

Good to here that you are gaining confidence and are working it out.

I'm not sure where you are seing the "incomplete [id 12345567]" error, however when you are in the relation editing window there is a button on the left hand side that (for me it is 2nd from the bottom), lets you download all the ways/nodes from that the relation. Maybe this will help with the error.
Regards
Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for that information. Gradually getting the hang of them on the simple examples but when I struck Lake Gordon wonder what on earth the "incomplete [id 31755640]" meant. It looks like an error message but as you commented earlier the lake is rendering as it should. Do notice that in JOSM the lake does not render correctly once I split a way and then refine it probably due to the size of the lake exceeding the downloadable segment.

Due to the size of the Lake I am splitting sections out and tracing them in with more nodes and then reconnecting them. The delay in tile render can make this a bit challenging to check but looks like based on your notes that I am doing the right thing.

And finally mastering getting maps on my Garmin with contours and rendered like mapnik. Thanks to a fellow list member I now can update the Australia pbf file and also extract contours for any part of the globe that has them. Typviewer means I can create or "steal" icons. Gradually figuring out the style sheet plus a few Garmin idiosyncrasies that mean things like resolution levels do not work past a certain pre-set Garmin point. 

Next step will be implementing sac_scale for walking tracks and revisiting the unpaved road issue. Plus seeing if I can liberate the higher 1 second contour line scans that were down as part of the SRTM contours for Australia.

Cheers Brett
