Feel free to delete them. Just be careful and make sure they’re entirely untagged.

Any OSM routable Garmin Map for Malaysia?It would be easier to know which area are not mapped yet.

Sure, like this one. :slight_smile:

any easier way to select them?

You can use JOSM’s validator plugin.

thanks…

Hi, is there any tracklogs donator for Sandakan,Sabah area?

you can trace it using bing. But you need to tag source=Bing. (This is OSM policy) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing#OpenStreetMap_on_the_Bing_Maps_platform

Hi, I think I will do some mapping around KL area…cheers

It’s an appartment building, right?

building=yes
name=Genting Court Condo

Do you guys think you can fill your own community forum? And do you want one?

I have been mapping on and off around KL, Putrajaya and Bangi. My focus is on navigational utility i.e. for use with OSMand.

My way of editing is mainly using Bing map in josm, and then testing the route with routing plugin to ensure correct nodes linking, one-ways and direction.

I don’t think we have many mappers in Malaysia for OSM but having our own sub-section might start to change that :slight_smile:

You could trawl through the contributions in the MSM and MFM forums for track logs. I’m sure the contributors there won’t mind.

Just to let everyone know that i’m still mapping.I’m currently focusing on Equine Park.

If you are using Bing map,remember to add source tag and credit Bing

It would be nice to have a community forum for Malaysia and Singapore.It might give us more momentum

hi malaysian mappers. i just started cleanup, connecting and adding some stuff in pj old town area.

for road classification i read these 2 guides
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Malaysian_Roads_Tagging
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Highway

i understand pedestrian, service and residential. but for bigger roads, i am still blur. can someone give malaysian examples of tertiary, secondary, primary, trunk?
are these correct…

  • tertiary: jalan changgai, gasing, templer, othman,
  • secondary:jaln klang lama, puchong

thanks in advance.

actually,it’s difficult to tell.What I do is to see how important that road is.

Motorway,trunk,primary,seconday,tertiary appears at different zoom level.

Eg,Jalan Klang Lama,it’s a little unusual to show that road when we view the whole peninsula.But it should appear when we are viewing the whole KL.So that should put it somewhere primary or secondary.

I hope this helps.

tq. ya and i find osm has one too many road categories :slight_smile:

im doing centre around sec 5 jln gasing as i learn the correct steps, so any noobie errors i make will have limited damage!!
