[talk-au] Usage of Openstreetmap at EMSINA

[Phil Wyatt]

Well done Alex,

 

Events such as that are a great opportunity to chat to folks about opening
up their data so we can have complete coverage. I notice that many of the
Police Station points (especially remote ones) are missing in OSM but it
also looks like some of their pins could also be inaccurate.

 

Given that lots of government agencies are also ESRI clients they could also
make them available as part of 'Community Maps Data Sharing Program' with a
suitable licence and then they would become available in the RapID editor

Cheers - Phil

Hi,

 

I'm at the EMSINA (Emergency Management Spatial Information
Network Australia) PDP day as part of AFAC (Australasian Fire and Emergency
Service Authorities Council) 2022 Conference in Adelaide and finding a few
"OpenStreetMap used here".

 

Feedback from participants I've spoken to:

*	The price is right, free!
*	Good coverage of health facilities

 

Uses of OpenStreetMap I've not noticed before, mainly background maps 

*	Find a police station (SA Police)
https://www.police.sa.gov.au/about-us/find-your-local-police-station (via
ESRI)

 

And oddly an attribution where OpenStreetMap is credited but its SA
government mapping

*	Bus Stop location map
https://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/stops?id=16490 

 

My own observation and I suppose the reason I'm here is there are plenty of
users of our mapping but not much feedback from users as to what they want,
which we are probably willing to map.

 

Alex
