| How I used AI to map the Dublin Port Tunnel | I’ve ruled out map snapping on two levels. Firstly, by obtaining track logs in areas like underground car park areas where no map will have any data. Whereas that doesn’t rule out snapping where map data is available, it does demonstrate that dead reckoning is happening. What comprehensively rules out map snapping is the fact that my first tunnel track log wandered several hundreds of metres off the true tunnel geometry, geometry that is present on the car’s navigation maps. This divergence was gradual, so there’s no indication that it snapped to a known path until that ceased to be credible. |

| Advanced rendering of tags | It depends what we mean by “a” pitch. In my mind, a pitch is the playing area for one game. A piece of land accommodating several playing areas would be a field or park or some other noun. |

| IrlJidel Irish map | Not to put a downer on your bus route mapping, but the Dublin Bus web site cannot be considered a clean source. Barring actual permission to use the data presented there you are safer to map only those routes you know or those that you can deduce from your own ground surveys of the bus stops. |

| Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | Excellent initiative. I was interested in doing the same thing, but never got around to requesting permission. I've looked at the OSM file and it looks pretty good to me. One thing that surprised me was that the Poolbeg lighthouse isn't present (nor is it in the CIR spreadsheet). Is it maintained independently? |
