Re: [OSM-talk] Sister Projects / possible data source
I don't know if I have got this discussion wrong, but I have seen at least two community projects that are trying to build databases of locations of different wireless networks: http://openbmap.org/ and http://opencellid.org/ / Erik [1] http://opencellid.org/ 2011-08-07 23:50, John Smith skrev: On 8 August 2011 07:46, Richard Weaitrich...@weait.com wrote: As I remember it from previous discussions, wifi locations are somewhat transient for OSM.

Re: [OSM-talk] Sister Projects / possible data source
hi just an idea. would it be possible to include the WiFi or Celltower information that are collected by crowdflow.net into open street map? maybe someone could ask them if they are willing to provide there data ;-) bye AssetBurned On 05.07.2011, at 18:48, M∡rtin Koppenhoefer wrote: 2011/7/5 Frederik Ramm frede...@remote.org: Maybe we should simply have a link Related Projects pointing to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Related_Project in this location?

Mind you, combining towers and frequencies with terrain and building outlines would make a fun project for estimating propagation. ;-) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
