8 years ago When I think about it, eureka! Aviva, you could actually enter this information yourself on OpenStreetMap, as polygons. It would be great to do so in some particular layer that we can then switch on or off on the Sound Comparisons map. Something to talk about with Hans-Jörg, I presume.

8 years ago "Eureka!" indeed. Will figure it out.

8 years ago Looking at it now. Seems like it could indeed be done -- with more or less elegance -- by pecking in nodes. Maybe an afternoon's task. I'll talk to Hans-Jorg. If he has some magic way of just uploading the data we already have, I'll just peck.

8 years ago @Bibiko Is there some magic that can be worked here, or should I just eye-ball it?

8 years ago @AvivaShimelman I'm just trying to find a proper way to "translate" the image coordinates into geo-coordinates which is a rather stony way but I'm optimistic. If we find a general way to convert a SVG vector image into a GIS format this would solve many other tasks (for other projects as well). I keep you informed.

This is the latest version of a map produced by Hans-Jörg and Aviva, which it would be fantastic to be able to overlay somehow (switch on or off?) with our online map. I don’t mean this actual jpg, of course, but the proper version! I presume Hans-Jörg has some geodata associated to the lines/polygons, labels and so on. But I’ve no idea how easy this would be. It is certainly not an urgent priority for now, but something like September time it might be worth considering. No mistake: it would be excellent to have it, but it will probably demand too much time to rank it higher than all the other multiple, urgent fixes that need doing first.
