Re: [talk-ph] another road renamed, another border duspute

2008-12-17 Thread sorabsuperstar
Hi guys,

sorry, i can hardly follow up anymore. I made the mistake to join three global 
OSM-talk-groups (talk, talk-legal and legal-general) and since then my inbox is 
BLOW AWAY by incomming traffic :/

Reg. the matter at hand:
It is in fact a little bit tricky. Buendia Ave is tagged Senator Gil Puyat on a 
large strip now.
Hmm. To be honest - and this is nothing against Senator Puyat - but I 
absolutely dont know anyone who calls that Street Puyat rather than Buendia. At 
least not the Makati portion of it.
I think it should be name= and alt_name= for the names commonly used, i.e. the 
name ppl on the street actually use for that street. The rederers should 
display them as something like [name]([alt_name]), which they dont do yet, 
afaik.
old_name= should be used for a former name, that is commonly accepted as 
derelicted. A tag new_name= might be used for a new name, that has not yet been 
commonly adopted ... and then eventually become alt_name, then name. OSM is a 
living map,that will adopt changes in the realworld at any time.

Displaying historic names (i.e. names that fall under old_name=) on the normal 
map will make it confusing. For a historic map, someone should create a special 
historic-renderer. (That's the good thing about OSM, that you can use the data 
in many different ways.)

Cheers

Soren

  Some names are so old (like Gov. Forbes for A.H. Lacson Ave. in Sampaloc or
  even Dewey Boulevard for Roxas Boulevard) that most people don't know them
  anymore.
 
  Renderers can then render the name of the street like name (old name) and

 Routing applications based on OSM data also have the opportunity to do

I am very interested in such an application and have taken some time 
to see what is happening around the world.

Graphserver seems to be the application of choice for route planning 
and it can work with OSM data and with public transport schedules 
often in a Google Transit format. See the 'Multimodal Shortest Path 
Tree of Bay Are' example in their gallery which uses OSM and google 
transit data:
http://graphserver.sourceforge.net/gallery.html

Here is a reference to a public transport route planner that uses OSM 
data and Google Transit but I can't find a deployment.

SITI: a multimodal journey planner based on open source software and 
'de facto' standards

Our project demonstrates that this barrier can be overcome from very 
small budgets. We have
developed a completely open source solution for a multimodal door to 
door public transport
information system based on several 'de facto' standards and open 
source packages. Our prototype is
simple and scalable, enabling the deployment of multimodal journey 
planners with a wide range of
scope, from metropolitan to international coverage.

First of all, the cartography is based on Openstreetmap (OSM), [snip]

We have chosen Google Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) as data 
exchange format for public
transport information. GTFS is the format developed by Google for its 
multimodal journey planner
Google Transit. We also have demonstrated how to export the full 
timetable database of a real
public transport operator like ETM (Empresa de Transport Metropolità 
de València) to GTFS,
enabling route calculation both from our prototype and from Google 
Transit.

The route calculation is performed by Graphserver, an open source 
package distributed under a
BSD license, written in C and Ruby. We have extensively extended 
Graphserver to improve its
integration with OSM and GTFS, and to incorporate human readable 
driving directions
http://year.fehrl.org/?m=3mode=downloadid=321

I have just found this one, that also uses OSM and Graphserver for a 
community based transit journey planner for Toronto:

In fact, almost all the tools we’ve used to build MyTTC are open 
source. The trip planner is based on Brandon Martin-Anderson’s 
excellent graphserver library, using data from both MyTTC and the 
OpenStreetMap project, an open source mapping initiative. Nearly 
everything was written using the powerful and elegant Ruby language 
under merb, along with a host of other open source tools from 
databases to webservers. The open source nature of our tools have 
enabled us to not only customize and improve them, but we’ve also had 
the opportunity to send those improvements back upstream.

professional transport sector does) and some layers belong in OSM and

Firstly the bus stops (or more generally 'stop 'points) which is where

Yes, timetabling probably doesn't belong.

 Firstly the bus stops (or more generally 'stop 'points) which is
 where one physically accesses the transport system which should be
 point features within OSM.
 

Could you elaborate on this? Reuse existing nodes on ways? Point
features as opposed to what? Are you stressing within OSM?

 Secondly the routes the vehicles take which traveling on the network  
 to get from stop point to stop point. In most cases this is obvious,  
 but in a limited number of cases one will need to include route
 points that are not stop points. These might use the route relation
 and detail every way that is involved for every route, but this is
 more detail than a route planner needs that can work out most stop to
 stop routing without guidance.

I have been (mostly) following the guidelines on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route, where we use a
relation, which principally includes ways and the stops (which sit
adjacent as nodes as I've done them), as members. Then your problem
goes away.

(It's admittedly a little sad to have to break up ways for routing. I'm
also conscious that other mappers further dissecting them will probably
break the relation, but I think that might be an issue for the API to
address :~) )

 Including detailed routing in OSM
 means that it has to be updated every time the schedules change.
 

The schedules? or the route? Whichever, remember there are currently
mappers embedding business phone numbers as shop metadata.

 All of the rest of the data can then be in Google Transit Feed  
 Specification (an open source data standard controlled by Google)
 and can feed GraphServer or equivalent for route planning. GT is not  
 perfect and can't represent complex rail journeys but it is open  
 source and there is data available already in it that can be used
 and it is a good starting point:
 http://code.google.com/p/googletransitdatafeed/wiki/PublicFeeds
 

Ewww, CSV serialisations requiring their own purpose-built validator …
Like you say, we can build from it. Let's look through the
fields/elements, but make something proper and scalable that leverages
XML as it should.

 I am not sure how one would explicitly refer to the schedules file  
 from OSM. Possibly all the stop points in a area would be part of a  
 'network' relation that that network relation would refer to the  
 external schedules file using a 'schedules' URL.
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Network
 

Works for me.

 
 Would it be useful to create a list for discussion of public
 transport applications within OSM. Could I suggest a title of
 'talk-transit' or should this conversation be part of the
 'talk-routing' list? Including PT routing in the talk-routing list
 might make some sense because there is always a walking element to
 the routing and people interested in routing may also be interested
 in PT routing. I certainly think this conversation needs a 'home'
 that is off the main talk list which is too busy already.
 

+1, preferably for a separate list. I'm not sure how welcome transit
discussion would be on the routing list. (I'm curently subscribed to it
only on the off-chance some transit material will surface.)

I have been under the impression there isn't too much interest for this
within OSM, judging by the paucity of activity on the lists and content
on the wiki. I think it's another potential killer app for OSM.

 Yes, but certainly tied to OSM data though.  It would be very cool if
 from this other project, people could assemble routes from nodes
 already tagged as bus/train stops, add time table info for routes
 already in the OSM DB and set nodes as the appropriate stops.  This
 would probably need some form of a heavily modified potlache.

I don't see why this needs to be a separate project. We already have
Key:opening_hours for amenities, why not Tag:highway:bus_stop with
additional tags that describe when each bus line stops there and a
relation to map the greater bus route. That should be sufficient
information to map the transit system and the data wouldn't be spread
across two independently maintained databases.

One of the wonderful things about ODbL is the concept of a collective work

Right now, if you were to unofficially screenscrape the UK rail timetable
and do magic stuff with it and OSM data, you'd probably fall foul of
CC-BY-SA (boo, hiss). Whereas with ODbL it'd be a collective database and
OSM wouldn't worry about the fact you don't have permission to do anything
at all with the timetable.

Not that I'm planning to screenscrape the PDF timetable or anything. Though
I imagine that, if I were, I'd use CAM::PDF to read the file, write my own
PDF renderer, then parse the columns and put the result in a MySQL database.
Purely hypothetically.

Well, the way it works at the moment (in sane browsers) is that Potlatch
sends a message via JS every time the dirty flag is set/unset - so the JS
dirty variable is always up-to-date. That's what causes the click, and
that's why it happens regularly throughout editing.

onBeforeUnload appears to have (sensibly) too many safeguards built in to
allow Potlatch to refuse a window close (for the user to enter a comment),
though I might be missing something.

Suggest we continue this one on IRC or private mail. :)

 Basically, you'll have to enter a brief description for every bunch of

 This should allow for easier change reviews, and much easier

 Most read-only tools should work with little or no modification, and  
 most

Sounds good.

For the avoidance of doubt, is the format of the planet file changing  
or does this just affect the API between editors and the DB?

Is there anything that we must change in OSM Mapper (the product) to  
accommodate the new API? Is there anything we 'could' change in OSM  
Mapper to take advantage of new content in the planet file? In  
particular will the text associated with the changeset be available in  
the planet file. Finally - if the planet file is changing - are there  
sample planet files with this additional information available for us  
to test with OSM Mapper prior to the switch-over.

to populate the comment box and

 The editor is another matter; JOSM will not allow uploads without a
 commit message.


What ? I'm very surprised about that. On Mediawiki, it's optional and
if you look history, you see that many people don't write comments.
And if you look my wiki contributions, I sometimes write comments and
sometimes not. Adding unnecessary constraints will not the project
easier for newcomers. If you make it as an obligation in JOSM, you
will see comments like safhsihufwieu which will not help and just
make some contributors like me irritated.
Please, please, please, forget this idea of making comments an
obligation.

 May I request the coders (I'm a mapper not a coder ;).  To give us an

Basically, you'll have to enter a brief description for every bunch of
edits (just as you have to do when you update a wikipedia page) that you
upload.

This should allow for easier change reviews, and much easier rollbacks.

Most read-only tools should work with little or no modification, and most
mappers won't even have to change their workflow (besides filling up a
textbox writing what the bunch of edits was about).

IIRC, the format for .osm files will be *very* *similar*. The only

Supposedly, you'll get the ID-username mapping at the beginning of the

The node-way-relation stuff, and tags, won't be touched.

Stay tuned for the final specifications of the 0.6 API, as I might be wrong.

 If you live in a region were there is no Hires-data available at all you

 have potlatch's flash/yahoo data or josm's landsat data to rely on. But
 you have
 to download the image data over-and-over again whenever you are in the
 same region.

 And: the same idea might apply for potlatch's flash/yahoo image data!
 Wouldn't it be nice to have already downloaded images cached ?!?


I seem to recall there was an issue with caching the yahoo tiles relating to
something along the lines of having them saved to disk is not in accordance
with the permission to use the imagery... or something... Landsat should be
cachable though I guess...

[OSM-talk] GeoBase nodes import

2008-12-17 Thread Sam Vekemans
Hi all,
On the talk-ca list we are comparing the differences  similarities
between this project  the TIGER import.

I wanted to float the idea (to the general talk list) about importing
the full data base that is available, not as shapes/ways/lines, but as
nodes which show
 what map features the node represents.
So for example, importing a park (in a mapped area) we would just show
the outline dots of the park, and the user can connect the dots and
show it the 'right' way osm-style.
This would ensure that accuracy is there as well as alow updates as
these updates would be directly ontop of the old one.
These imported nodes would be then used as reference (like colour
coded snap points)

Is there a way that josm is able to allow the user to click on the
space where the node is and select which node they want to use to
attach the line/area/relation they are working with?

Is there a way to make sure that these nodes dont get rendered?
In the case of address range, what if these lines are shown as 1 side
of the property outline?

Thanks,
Sam Vekemans

 +1, preferably for a separate list. I'm not sure how welcome transit
 discussion would be on the routing list. (I'm curently subscribed to

 only on the off-chance some transit material will surface.)

 I have been under the impression there isn't too much interest for  
 this
 within OSM, judging by the paucity of activity on the lists and  
 content
 on the wiki. I think it's another potential killer app for OSM.


Lets try to get a new list set up and then we can have the detailed  
discussion there. Given that 80% of what we will be talking about will  
be bus maps, coding of public transport schedules and routes and how  
to describe the innards of large interchanges I suggest we start our  
own list and don't try to impose our interests on talk-routing. We  
know of transit related initiatives in a number of countries already  
that use OSM and I would hope that others will come out of the  
woodwork as we raise the profile. We should add a wiki page of transit  
related initiatives using OSM in different places to help people find  
them.

Let's explicitly include shared taxi systems 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_taxi 
) within the scope (as well as fixed route fixed timetable systems). I  
believe the phrase 'transit' is understood in more places that 'public  
transport' and it is also shorter!

I suggest we call it 'talk-transit' with a description 'OpenStreetMap  
and public transport/ transit / shared transport services'.

Votes for would be appreciated. If you object then lets here now as  
well. I will 'apply' for a list (if that is what one does) in a few  
days.

Re: [OSM-talk] Collecting public transportation time tables

2008-12-17 Thread Stefan Monnier
 I don't see why this needs to be a separate project. We already have
 Key:opening_hours for amenities, why not Tag:highway:bus_stop with
 additional tags that describe when each bus line stops there and a
 relation to map the greater bus route. That should be sufficient
 information to map the transit system and the data wouldn't be spread
 across two independently maintained databases.

Then you have the fact that time tables depend on the day of the week,
that the route depends also on the day of the week, and on the time of
day, and 

It's a big project in itself.

Rather than try to centralize everything we know about the world into
OSM, we would be better off figuring out how multiple databases can be
tightly connected.

 coast that either need to be completed or deleted.

 Can I suggest that people commit to doing different parts of the

 islands to the north east of there and also New Zealand.

 I suggest that the USA is dealt with by state. I am happy to work on

If you think through how an online editor would interact with API 0.6 (hey,

I can sympathize with your format prejudice, but GTFS is aimed at
making things as easy as possible for the data provider, since getting
the data in the first place is often the hardest part.  I should also
point out that the validator also checks a lot of deeper semantic
things related to transit timetable logic, not just syntactic issues.

As far as I'm aware, though, there's been more detailed transit data

resolution.

Virtually everyone would agree that San Francisco is the most prominent city
in the region, and should win any name rendering collision amongst cities in
the region.  Yet, at zoom level 6 and 7, Daly City gets rendered instead of
San Francisco.  Similarly, Oakland and San Jose are the next most prominent
cities in the region, yet at many zoom levels, smaller and less prominent
adjacent places get rendered instead.

Another related quirk is that some of these smaller place names are have
discontinuities in when then show in the zoom sequence, e.g. Mountain View
shows up at zoom level 6 and 8, but not 7, and Santa Clara shows up at zoom
level 7, 9, and 11, but not 8 or 10.

I'm sure this problem is not unique to the Bay Area, but it is merely an
example drawn from an area that I'm very familiar with.

Is there a good solution to this problem?

No, but I'm sure it could be arranged.

 There are other, more subjective factors that are important as well.  For

yet due its economic, cultural, and historical importance, San Francisco
should trump San Jose in case of a rendering collision.

That's the sort of thing automated renderers have difficulty sorting out.
Maybe we need a tag for cultural value :-P

(I would hazard a guess that San Jose has a larger economic impact, though.)

Re: [OSM-talk] GeoBase nodes import

2008-12-17 Thread Sam Vekemans
Thanks,
Esoteric: i had to wiki that one :)

Anyway, i dont think anyone has a problem with having Canada take the
number 1 spot for nodes :)
would just mean that planet file gets bigger.

If it meant that importing just the nodes (with extra unique ref tags)
over existing well mapped areas, (so not compromizing other user data)
 and at the same time makes it easy for the any of the few agencies to
use the data (if they want) - keeping it a 2-way street.
-would it be worth it? - i think it would
:)

I got word back that geobase is held in shapes/lines data sets. -where
it is technically possable to break it down to nodes, just means the
files get bigger.
Fortunatly we have no limit on file size, just would need to get a
bigger server back-bone, a university donated one?

Perhaps its possable to have it as part of the import script?
Like the land mass import, without the lines connecting it?

And josm having the option to select different nodes which are ontop
of eachother? Good to hear its technically possable.

[OSM-talk] Buildings and roads

2008-12-17 Thread Nathan Mixter



Wow, Naga City is full of buildings. How did they get so many? Are those all 
building=yeses? Crazy. And I thought adding all the industrial and commercial 
buildings was bad. Anyway I still think that if the building layers were set at 
a lower layer level by default and the roads to a higher, it might look better.

 Just wondering. Shouldn't buildings be rendered

 Currently buildings are drawn above a road when the

 a highway or major road. Obviously buildings don't

A major road doesn't have to be wide by
default. I hereby invite you to visit Guadarrama, where a trunk road (the
N-VI) has only two lanes, and buildings are just one meter away
from the asphalt.

 

Yes, I agree that the rendering is messed up at low zoom
levels (see Naga City in the Phillipines), but at higher zoom levels, I see no
other easy solution.

Okay, this makes a lot of sense. Sorry but I missed this part of your

 It's worth noting that I don't believe that anyone's actually tried

 As for marine boundaries go, why isn't a set of GPS co-ordinates

 draw onto the map purely based on these numbers.

I guess the issue is similar to using street names off a government 
provided source - we would have to copy factual information, rather 
than get out on the ground. I've found a few goverment agencies that 
provide the polygons of national parks etc, but they seem to want to 
charge for it

An example - Marine park list from DSE: 
http://www.google.com/url?sa=tsource=webct=rescd=1url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parkweb.vic.gov.au%2Fresources%2F17_1990.pdfei=r-FISbr6FKWsswK39MHyDQusg=AFQjCNEVG5JGEpjq8PJHhy4WjcDiUBi9Cgsig2=qzkD4ifwSoyvytO9n3P_sw

On a similar note, does anyone have polygons of the Oz states. Would 
like them to use to extract the OSM data for the garmin map creation 
prcoess, rather than the oversized square approach I'm using at the moment.

Re: [talk-au] What gives with roundabouts?

2008-12-17 Thread Liz
On Mon, 15 Dec 2008, Ian Sergeant wrote:
 The primary questions here is:

 Should a suburban roundabout be mapped as a node or as a loop?

 My position is a node for three reasons..
or something like a josm plugin which would turn a node into a little way with 
4 nodes, on demand?


 + When you cross this kind of roundabout when cycling, or with a learner
 driver, you don't have to worry about the characteristics of the road you
 are crossing (since you never turn into the traffic of the cross road, you
 just cross the roundabout).  This isn't just about cyclists and learners.
 Its about the nature of the intersection.

a roundabout has different road rules
and you certainly don't cross the roundabout unless you are driving a big 
truck with flashing red and blue lights


 + It represents what is on the ground accurately.  Often there is less of
 an actual diversion than many other traffic calming devices, which are not
 mapped.  To draw it as a deviation in the road, just isn't what is there.

A deviation is part of the design philosophy of a roundabout


 + These have a very standardised appearance, and should be represented in a
 standardised way, like a template.  The benefit isn't just in time-saving,
 but in identifying that all these roundabouts are very much the same.

a plugin?


 Once this is decided there are other questions to answer...

 Is it reasonable to overload (reuse) a tag (mini-roundabout) originally
 designed to represent something else overseas, that doesn't exist in
 Australia?

 How to define this kind of roundabout?

 If we need a new tag, what should that tag be?

 Many of the points in this argument aren't being made against having some
 types of roundabouts mapped as a node, but rather are arguments against
 overloading tags that mean something else outside of Australia.

 Other arguments are saying that the current definition is poor.

 I can agree with these arguments, to a certain extent.  (Although I think
 people arguing against overloading tags have a bigger campaign on their
 hands than just mini-roundabouts.)  However, before we can get to them, we
 need to decide if this kind of roundabout is best represented by a node, or
 a loop.  Then progress to what, if anything, the tag should be.

 Ian.

 Hallo Kai.

  Vorlage von JOSM Hausnummern addr:housenumber

 Adressen sind ein Standardfall für Relationen.
 Ich denke, mittelfristig werden solche Relationen über geografische
 Polygone erfasst.

 Beispiel:
 Jedes Haus bekommt händisch eine addr:house_number = ###
 Die Strasse wird mit Shift-Klick zugeordnet.
 Die PLZ wird mit einem Polygon zugeordnet.
 Der Ort sowieso.

hab gestern erst wieder gehoert, dass es durchaus den fall gibt, dass die 
beiden seiten einer strasse zu verschiedenen orten gehoeren.
wird wohl mit polygonen nur schwer machbar sein...

der einzige unterschied ist der, dass bei einem eine bebauung vorhanden ist 
(egal ob wohnhäuser oder gewerbliche anlagen), beim anderen nicht.

das ist doch klar und einfach. oder etwa nicht?

dass landuse = residential/commercial/industrial und dessen bedeutung total

Hallo Guenther,

 beide seiten einer strasse zu verschiedenen orten gehoeren.

Ja, solche Ausnahmen gibt es in allen Bereichen der Geo-Daten.
Sie werden dann entsprechend gekennzeichnet.

Die überwiegende Mehrheit lässt sich aber mit Polygonen beschreiben.
Das ist simpel und intuitiv, und das verhindert unnötige Redundanz.
Und für die DB lässt sich das relational verwerten.

Re: [Talk-de] Motorway QA - 1. Report

2008-12-17 Thread Martin Koppenhoefer

  ja klar, verzeiht bitte die spaete Antwort (bin ein bisschen hinterher,
  aber schwer am aufholen dank Zeit bei der Arbeit ;-) ), hatte ich etwas
  verkuerzt dargestellt, aber ich meinte mit nur interessante
  Richtungspfeile aktiviert. Da sollten in diesem Fall die Pfeile m.E.
 nicht
  auftauchen. Werden sie eigentlich bei oneway=-1 auch in die andere
 Richtung
  angezeigt? Ich vermute mal nicht, aber kann es derzeit hier nicht
 pruefen.
 

 Habs grad ausprobiert; die Richtung der Pfeile bleibt unverändert. Das
 finde
 ich aber auch richtig so, denn die Pfeile geben ja die Richtung des Wegs (=
 die
 Reihenfolge der Punkte im Weg) an. Die oneway-Richtung ist dann relativ zu
 dieser Richtung andersrum.

 Grüße, Marc


ja, da hast Du Recht. Die Pfeilspitzen sollten allerdings deaktiviert sein,
wenn man oneway=no angibt (und keine anderen richtungsrelevanten tags
vergeben sind). Ich weiss, dass oneway=no eigentlich default ist, aber es
gibt Stellen, wenn eine Einbahnstr. z.B. kurz unterbrochen wird (hins.
Einbahnstrassenregelung), dass man es explizit angibt, um Verwirrungen bzw.
oberflaechlichem Falschtagging vorzubeugen.

Hallo,

hmmm, merkwürdig. Vielleicht rechnen Eure Programme intern mit
unterschiedlichen Genauigkeiten bzw. fassen Rechenoperationen anders
zusammen. Bei den Transformationen kann es dadurch ja auch sehr
schnell zu Ungenauigkeiten kommen.

Deutschlandweite Parameter werden aber sehr sehr häufig um nicht zu
sagen immer zu örtlichen Unstimmigkeiten führen. Das geht gar nicht
anders. Wobei es natürlich darauf an kommt was man will und wie man
seine vermeintlichen Sollwerte ermittelt. Dazu habe ich den Beginn

 Hallo Chris,

 Kann man den iblue 747 im Explorer als Laufwerk einbinden? 
 Das geht leider nicht.
 warum eigentlich nicht?
 
 Das wird daran liegen wie die interne Architektur des iBlue ist. 
 Wahrsch. hat er keine entsprechende Schnittstelle mit eingebaut 
 bekommen. Oder er speichert die Daten in einem eigenen Format das nur 
 mit den bekannten Tools ausgelesen werden kann und um fehlerhafte 
 Handhabung zu vermeiden haben sie den Zugriff auf das Dateisystem auf 
 normalem Wege halt untersagt.
 Aber genau weiss das wohl nur der Hersteller.

Der Tracker wird unter Linux als Serial-Converter erkannt. 
Offensichtlich erfolgt also die Kommunikation wie mit einem Serialport.
Das Format der Daten ist offen (siehe mtkbabel open source perl script 
zum Auslesen und Konvertieren der Daten in .GPX). Mit viel aufwand 
wäre es vielleicht möglich irgendetwas zu programmieren was ein Laufwerk 
im Explorer simuliert, ich wüsste aber nicht, wieso sich dieser Aufwand 
lohnen sollte.

Grüße, Alexander

Marine-Antennen gibt es hier sehr günstig und gut:

Re: [Talk-de] OSM auf dem 25C3

2008-12-17 Thread Marcus Wolschon
Ach ja...
wir haben 2 Tische und 4 Stühle zugesagt bekommen.
(Hat etwas gedauert.)

Kann jemand ein Garmin-Gerät mit OSM-Karte drauf oder
etwas vergleichbares mitbringen?
Dokumenten-Klebeband wäre noch sehr sinnvoll.

Um Plakate, Strom, Ethernet, JOSM+Surveyor+Traveling Salesman
kümmer ich mich und spendiere eine 12er-Packung vom Dunkin Donouts.
(Wie immer man diese Krapfen schreibt)

Ja toll, für Choke Ring-Antennen braucht man doch auch eine Groundplate
oder nicht? Also mobil will ich schon noch sein.

Kann man nicht auch das Autodach als Platte verwenden?

   JOSM hat je inzwischen eine gute Kennzeichnung für den geladenen
   Bereich, damit sollte dieses Problem eigentlich keines sein.
 
  Man kann also sehrwohl schon im Hintergund nachladen und auch das
  Geladene anzeigen, nur man darf eben die gelbe Schraffur erst dann
  entfernen, wenn auch wirklich alles geladen wurde.
 
 
 ja, es wird aber ein Riesenoverhead (download) erzeugt, da auch alles
 nachgeladen wird, was man nicht braucht. Bin immer noch total dagegen,
 z.B.
 wuerde das auch den Speicher vollmachen (mit dem Effekt, dass JOSM
 langsamer
 wird), ohne dass man es braucht.

Hallo,

genau das Problem habe ich jetzt auch schon. Wenn ich ein Gebiet eines Tiles 
der Zoomstufe 12 lade, das schon etwas besser gefüllt ist - z.B. das Tile 
2146-1408, die östliche Seite von Pforzheim - also keine wirklich riesige 
Fläche, wird JOSM total unbenutzbar, da extrem zäh.

Momentan mache ich es so, das wenn ich größere Objekte laden muß dies in 
kleinen Abschnitten mache, so das nur genau das in den Speicher kommt, was auch 
wirklich sein muß. Da man für den Überblick natürlich auch hin und wieder mal 
raus zoomt würde beim Autonachladen wiederum viel zu viel in den Speicher 
kommen was man eigentlich gar nicht benötigt.

Wenn ihr solch ein Konzept wirklich umsetzten wollt, macht es bitte abschaltbar 
oder tut vorher gewaltig was an der Performanz und dem Speicherhunger von JOSM.

Grüßle, detlef (ein an sich begeisterter JOSM-Nutzer)

Ohne es genauer geprüft zu haben, sieht es so aus, als ob Du in 
EPSG:4314 (Potsdam-Datum) umgerechnet hättest, also geografische 
Koordinaten ohne Ellipsoidübergang.

 shop=deli halt ich für schwer verständlich, aufgrund der Abkürzung. Bis 
 jetzt hab ich die immer als normalen Lebensmittelhändler, Greißler, also 
 grocery getagged.

Deli ist keine Abkürzung, sondern wirklich das englische Wort für
Delikatessen (im Plural).
