[Talk-GB] Canoeing infrastructure/river features

Sat Aug 31 21:33:23 UTC 2019

For some time I did wonder why this information is not available on OSM (or at least not complete)   Have you seen this project:  opencanalmap.uk opencanalmap.uk   One thing that puzzles me is fact that this open data is merged with google maps. Wouldn't be easier to have it on OSM?   Cheers,  dzidek23

 I was in holiday in North Wales last week and mapped the biggest  
 remaining gap, east from Aberdaron: 

 	 hiking.waymarkedtrails.org hiking.waymarkedtrails.org !52.8079!-4.6498 

 That leaves three smaller gaps around the central Cardigan Bay  
 coastline, between Barmouth and Borth: 

 	 hiking.waymarkedtrails.org hiking.waymarkedtrails.org !52.6483!-4.0907 
 	 hiking.waymarkedtrails.org hiking.waymarkedtrails.org !52.4981!-4.0189 
 	 hiking.waymarkedtrails.org hiking.waymarkedtrails.org !52.5799!-3.9411 

 plus one short one in South Wales near Gowerton: 

 	 hiking.waymarkedtrails.org hiking.waymarkedtrails.org !51.6472!-4.0787 

 Fixing these will mean not only that the WCP is complete in OSM, but  
 also, as far as I can tell, that we have full coverage of National  
 Trails in England & Wales. So if anyone's going on holiday to West  
 Wales, or the Gower, please do map the missing bits and we'll be complete. 

 cheers 
 Richard

 By 'collect some relevant info' I mean 'document your findings from asking 
 questions on Talk lists and poking round the wiki'. Before constructing any 
 grand new project pages, I would add a section to a relevant UK page. This 
 _could_ spin off into a new page later, or it might provoke the response 
 of, "but this is documented here on .... page", or people might join in. 
 Either way, everyone wins. 

 A search on  wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org  and 
 wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org  throws up some 
 pages. The  wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org  caught my 
 eye as I didn't know that canoe routes were signed/plotted. 

 My best experience with the wiki comes from writing 
 wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org 
 By writing up the situation in the UK and working-in-the-open on a personal 
 project to locate wind farms, I have found other people who were also 
 interested, and it has led (partially) to the solar quarterly project. 

 The OSMWiki is organised in places, chaotic in other places, and 
 frustrating in many.....but it is *ours*. I appeal to all UK Mappers to 
 make it a good place to be.

 Interesting. There must be some waterways fans around here somewhere. I 
 can see some pages like 
 wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org  which 
 focus on one aspect of canoeing, and some countries appear to have marked 
 routes. 

 As a UK Mapper you could add to 
 wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org  and collect 
 some info relevant to UK canoeists.

 Hello all 

 I've started to map some features useful (I hope) to canoeists such as 
 myself. 
 Eg,  www.openstreetmap.org www.openstreetmap.org  (Irthlingborough 
 Lock) 
 Eg,  www.openstreetmap.org www.openstreetmap.org  (bottom right) 

 However, there seems to be quite a lack of objects on the wiki that are 
 suitable. (Full disclosure: I'm an occasional, rather inexpert mapper.) 

 Is this the place to discuss?
