ESPG Code Help! - North TX

[sirish19]

Hi, 

I am running Chad's tool to try to map out my local course, it is Runaway Bay Golf Club & Resort (formerly called the Club at Runaway Bay) which is located in Bridgeport, TX.  I am pulling 6 sets of Lidar and Metadata data from nationalmap.gov and they are showing up as USGS Lidar Point Cloud TX West Central B14 2018 14SPB045705 LAS 2019.  

When I run the tool, I end up getting an ESPG missing error. From EPSG I end up with a few potential codes that seem to fit for Wise County but when I try to force that EPSG code, I end up getting everything that seems to work, however, my OSM mapped course is not showing up on my course in TGC.  

Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Stephen

Stephen, I’m not sure what code/codes you have tried so far, but try using 26914. It’s worked for me for some North Texas courses.

Great, thank you very much, this looks promising and I think it is the correct code as I could see the course pop up in the mask.png.  However, when I was processing the terrain, it all seemed to be going fine but then it got stuck at 56.38% and I got the following error message'

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last)
File "OSMTGC.py" line 416, in addOSMToTGC:
File "site-packages\overpy\_init_.py", line 860, in get_nodes
File "site-packages\overpy\_init.py, line 123, in query
overpy.exception.OverpassTooManyRequests: Too many requests

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "OMSTGC.py", line 418, in addOSMToTGC
AttributeError: module 'overpy' has no attribute 'OverpassGatewayTimeout"


Anyone have any idea what this means?

Actually, I tried running it again and it seems to have worked this time. I will give it a play and see how it feels.

Thanks a lot for your help.

That happens a lot, and as you found out re-running solves the problem. I think it is an access issue at OSM, too many folks overloading the server.

Glad that code seemed to work. I look forward to playing this course when you're done. I live in the Dallas area and hope to eventually get out there to play this course IRL. A lidar RCR should give me a good feel for it.

Thanks Jeff. I appreciate your support. By the way, where did you find that code 26914? When I looked up spacialreference.org for TX, I got a bunch of other codes but not this one. If I looked into epsg.io and plugged those codes that spacial reference gave me and tried those that included Wise County, none of them seemed to work. Where were you able to find this code?

This is not a particularly great course but my parents live out at Lake Bridgeport so go out there and play when I don't have any time to go closer to Dallas. I actually live in Japan and am going to try to map out some of my Japanese courses if I can figure out how to get the lidar data. I am really doing this course in Bridgeport since I know it fairly well and I want to try figure out how to do all of these things.

I ran through the course quickly and noticed that I only had 17 holes so the order was off. After reviewing OpenStreetMaps, I realized that I had actually missed one hole and duplicated the numbers on another hole, doh! I redid the course and going through it now and it seems to be ok. I am noticing that there are a lot of trees in there (and some that aren't supposed to be there, such as in the middle of the fairway). Do you have any idea why that might happen?

I found the code on the TNRIS website, which is the data source for the state of Texas. Only reason I knew it was there is because I used it for my RCR of Colonial Country Club as well as some other local courses that I have generated with Chad’s tool but haven’t published.

Thanks. What other TX courses have you created?
