I think it's correct as mapped, but I'll happily defer to a more authoritative source. I try to practice egoless mapping. :) Best Rgds, -H-

Hi DENelson83! Thank you for the message. "ocean"="yes" is redundant and I would otherwise might have removed it. (It's flagged by Osmose I think.) I often pick an area to fix from issues flagged by OSM Inspector and Osmose then continue from there.

Mostly I do casual mapping to improve the map display and routing in OSMAND+.

One question. There's a lot of "intermittent=yes" for coastal regions. According to the wiki intermittent is explicitly *not* for tidal areas, so I've been converting them to "tidal" as many of these are not exclusively tidal flats. Is this the correct action? It looks like these are NRCan-CanVec automatic imports. I suspect that someone just preferred the OSM map rendering of intermittent. Is there a national standard for this? Is there some application where "intermittent" would be preferable? I didn't find anything on the Canada wiki page.

If you find I've broken something, please let me know or just go ahead and just fix it. I practice egoless mapping.

Hi JesseFTW!

Thank you for the heads up. I found and fixed a bay relation where I accidentally deleted(?) a member. Also I had a self-intersection of a beach that touched a coastline. I couldn't find any problems with any coastline segments tho'. Hopefully those fixes solved the problem. OSM Inspector didn't show anything else. I'll check it after the next run. I'm loath to revert the entire changeset since I continued making additional changes in the same area that probably have geographic overlap, and reverts run the risk of turning a small fix into a big job. Also there are other people mapping in the province and we all make changes all over the province without coordination, so overlaps are common.

I practice egoless mapping. If you find I've made an error, please feel free to just fix it. I try especially hard not to break the coastline. I know that can be a serious blocker.

Thanks again for the heads up. If It still isn't fixed, could you let me know how to find the problem? I use Osmose and OSM Inspector, but I don't (currently) run any local verification tools.

Best Rgds,

The highways of Nova Scotia are numbered by the province. Unfortunately signage doesn't always match government and commercial maps. Especially problematic (I've discovered) are the start and end points of numbered routes. (And most especially annoying are errors in government and other "official" source data. These are a continual source of regression errors.) I've been playing with OSMAND trying to get consistent routing and map display and have made some changes to see what results in OSMAND. If I've broken any relations I apologize. As usual my actions lag far behind my intentions. I was considering programming a route tracer, possibly a plugin for JOSM or maybe just a set of python scripts to verify route relations but I haven't started anything yet. So if I've broken something, feel free to set it right.

There seem to be no consistent ref scheme used in NS. Some refs include a space, some don't, many route segments don't seem to have refs. Some are just plain odd. I was thinking that perhaps some standardization effort might me useful, although I've never actually seen such an effort come to much. Perhaps some guidance added to the NS Wiki page would be useful. Standardization would help with automation such as OSMAND.

When I tagged the Bedford Bypass, my information came from that most authoritative of sources Wikipedia. Since there didn't seem to be a Trunk 33 anywhere else I felt it might be safe to add.

As for the unsigned_ref, lack of signs doesn't mean the route isn't numbered. Although of course perhaps a road isn't numbered. (I don't have access to the government GIS.) As for mistakes and errors, well, those are all down to me. Any corrections and suggestions, (especially references to original source information,) are whole heartedly welcome.
