Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Power poles, wires, wind, trees are usual dangers for multirotor aircraft too. There is also an issue of a large bird attack. These risks could be mitigated via sport flying. I usually train sport flying at a stadium very early in the morning when there no people there. I have got a small trai

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Yes, ballons and kites is a good community-engaged method; in my particular case we face problems with the public-lab-ballon-kit because irregular power poles/wires at a low height, plus some wind present during the activity, so it wasn't possible (and a little insecure). Regarding stiching it was

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

The best thing would be to use the Uber API to receive the route instead, so we could compare the lat/lon of the points with the ones stored in db. But it seems that this API returns an image instead: https://developer.uber.com/docs/rides/api/v1-requests-map So we could instead use the "estima

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Hello, given they may well have a very large body of GPS traces, they may be using these to route along. The way to check if they are using OSM is if the OSM map has intentional errors - a kink in the road where there is none on aerial imagery or on our GPS traces, for example. Some of my early

Re: [OSM-talk] Go Map!: Mobile mapping on iOS

GoMap!! is limited in its capabilities to edit relations to reduce the chance of breaking anything. Without being sure, when splitting a way that is member of a relation, both parts continue with same membership. This might give undesired results in very few relations, so I think it is a safe ap

Hi, I checked the about page. There's licensing information for a bunch of software and Google maps but nothing for OSM. On Jul 27, 2016 5:02 PM, "Christoph Hormann" wrote: On Wednesday 27 July 2016, Mishari Muqbil wrote: > Hi, > > I wrote a blog post >
