List of all Tasmanian Streets?
Posted: Thu 04 Mar, 2010 10:09 am
Does anybody know where I could find a list of all Tasmanian streets/roadsand their coordinates (or a single coordinate pair for each street - enough to locate one point on each street).
It occurred to me yesterday that my "BIt Map" iPhone mapping application could very easily be turned into a street index (or index for any list of information). All it needs is the one simple feature addition: Tapping on a waypoint in the list of waypoints in Route detail view should switch to a map that includes that waypoint, centre the map view on that waypoint, and display that waypoint (including text label) on the map view. So no worries, I implemented that this morning and it works very well.
Now all I need is a list of all Tasmanian street coordinates that I can massage into a KML file. Once I import that into Bit Map, I'll have a fully functional street index!
But I can't find where to get this information from anywhere.
(This feature could also be used for any other types of information... eg, list of all waterfalls, list of all mountains, etc - I might glean some of these from the wiki and try them out).
