With so very few people mapping in this region

Actually, there are quite a few people mapping, but they are working on MalSingMaps.com & MalFreeMaps.com.

may i add those good folks at Masmap ?!

Beddhist · 2011-11-11T18:10:18.000Z

Yes, you may, Rajoo. I’m one of them, but as MasMap feeds into MSM I wasn’t going to mention it.

tq for the feedback re road categories. can someone please help me with this intersection… http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=3.086964&lon=101.646494&zoom=18&layers=M
at the traffic light, jln othman (east and west) has a divider. jln selangor (north) has a divider too. jln 1/21 (south) doesnt have any divider. how do i draw the point where jln 1/21 meets jln selangor? currently ive made the road split just before it reaches the intersection.

gvm,

There’s a couple of things with that intersection:

I wouldn’t create an intersection like that, since going from East to west you’ll have one way road that goes into two way road then back to one way. Instead, I suggest make them go all the way from E to W as one way. Same in regards going from E to N. Therefore, the intersection when viewed from East West to North, there are going to be 4 connections (points of intersects) between 4 objects( Jln Othman Eastwards road & westwards road, Jln Selangor North and South).
I would do like what you did with Jln Selangor going into 1/21. Except, those y branches need to have one way arrow at left and right branch.

Hope that helps.

tq kucai. fixed as u recommended.
i’m currently working on cleaning up, connecting roads, adding pois in the bottom half of pj. ive done sections 1-6, and 51. and going on to 7-10 and 52. if anyone spots errors in these sections, please let me know. hopefully i get it right the 1st time and dont have to redo much

Do you guys think we be ask for user:Malaysia section?

sure why not.

on another matter… lots of roads were drawn but not connected. after connecting them, i can see updated map on my nav app but routing sucks. some routes even join 2 dead end roads!! any ideas why?

feiming · 2011-12-01T02:11:56.000Z

I believe it’s because OSM previously don’t have high resolution satellite image for Malaysia.

i seen a lot of such road.If your using JOSM,you can see the history of a particular road. After awhile,you might notice the trend of error. If the road is really bad, i’ll delete and redo

Maybe try a different routing software? I would like to try routing, but perhaps shouldn’t considering the amount of crossing ways error and what not that I had corrected before

feiming · 2011-12-01T03:17:46.000Z

You use JOSM to test the route. It will show where the mistake are.
As for navigating,I’m using osmand but not relying on it.

My ultimate motivation is to implement traffic information using TPEGML

gvmsia · 2011-12-02T15:37:59.000Z

thanks. josm was good but it didnt sort out routing problem. most of the real errors it found were unnamed streets.

regard routing software…ive tried a few that use osm maps. all suck for navigation even in the area i fixed. sygic was good but its NOT free. anyway i dont think it uses osm maps

could someone please check this area and tell me wtf i’m doing wrong.

That area looks real good

I Usually ignore unnamed street.What i really care is the routing and POI. I think that’s should the higher priority right now.
