Missing lake in front of my house


 

Hi Andrew
I live in the vicinity of East Lake Ontario Canada and the lake is missing from the YAAC map , instead of the lake there is a white space.? The coordinates of the lake are?43.9189° N, 77.2003° W.??
Also, going right through the words Prince Edward Count on the YAAC map is a blue band which should not be there.? I have checked the same location on Openstreetmap.org and the map features for the same location are correct on the openstreetmap site, indicating that the source of the data is correct.? ?Could it be that these errors were introduced during the transition to the yaac map?

I would appreciate your thoughts on what could be done here.? If you give me step by step directions, I could also make the map tiles from the original as I have a fast internet connection.? Thanks.

My thoughts are: it's really really hard to slice up a vector map with filled areas into lots of smaller vector maps with correctly sliced filled areas, which is what the YAAC OSM map importer does. And it still has bugs in it. Half a dozen builds ago of YAAC, you didn't even have water in front of your house. :-) I'm still trying to fix the importer algorithms to handle large squiggly-edged bodies of water that span multiple 1x1-degree tiles. It's better than it was, but still not correct.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for this.? I do not mean to sound ungrateful by any means.? I think you are doing a great job in creating and supporting YAAC.? It has a lot of great features and is very simple to use,? I gather then that mapping is not a trivial exercise and I should have realized this!? I look forward to future releases.

Hi, Joe.

After much tearing of hair and taking the names of several famous mathematicians in vain :-) I have found a new algorithm for the map importer that fixes your issues on Lake Ontario (and several other places). I'm still resolving some corner cases for Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, but I hope to have them fixed as well in a few days. It's just painful that it takes 20 hours (!) to run the entire planet OSM dataset through the importer so I can check the results. I fixed most of the Lake Ontario issues using a map data excerpt for just the lake and its immediate surrounds, but even that took an hour per run.

Wow, Andrew, that is great.? I look forward to seeing the results.? Thank you very much for your excellent program and the support you provide.? Truly extraordinary!!

I think I've refilled the lake in front of your home. :-) It took a while to find the weird code errors combined with the strange way they defined your lake in OpenStreetMaps, but I have it working now, and the revised map data should be posted on my website by tomorrow.

Still some other weird map problems that I haven't solved yet, but it was worth posting at least that fix (and a couple of other map errors I was able to fix).

Where is this lake, exactly? If there is some odd tagging being done I can fix that! :)

HI Andrew

With great anticipation, I installed beta 151 but alas the lake is still missing.? Is there something else I have to do other than downloading the new beta?

Yes. You have to update your map data. Which you couldn't do until 2 minutes ago when I finished compressing the imported for the web server. It took 21 hours to import all the data with the latest weekly snapshot (May 11th) and the code that I just pushed out. Then it took another 2 hours to compress the imported data so there'll be less load on my Internet connection.

But it's available NOW.

OK Andrew, I Downloaded pre-imported tiles and checked Refresh All Existing Map Tiles but the lake still does not show blue. The two Enable filtering checkboxes are unchecked and the old tile version and server tile version parameters match.?? ?I must be missing something?

Did you move your map to force it to be re-rendered? YAAC tries to avoid re-rendering the street map as much as possible.

How long did it take for the download to occur?

HI Andrew

?

Yes there it is!? Did not think to move the map around but it worked!? Very pleased that I can now go for a dip to cool off!

?

Thanks again for your hard work!
