Alex, So that is just where the imagery ends. It is pretty common to have stripes like that. -Kate On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Alex Rollin alex.rol...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 11:30 AM, Alex Rollin alex.rol...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 11:28 AM, Kate

[OSM-talk] Specific Cases of Governments Using OSM

Hi All, I'm giving a presentation in a couple weeks about OpenStreetMap and how governments can interact with OSM. I'm looking for examples of governments using OSM data, versus releasing data for OSM to use. I already know about TriMet in Portland, OR for example: http://ride.trimet.org/ There

Re: [OSM-talk] new bing hires updates not visible in JOSM?

Hi Maning, JOSM caches the old imagery if you clear the cache it will fix the issue. -Kate On 13 Jun 2012 08:39, maning sambale emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com wrote: I don't think this is the case because when I am using JOSM, the old hires imagery is loaded instead of the updates. You can see

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM data density - top regions

The one in Indonesia is the work of human mappers. There has been an effort going on to map all the buildings in Padang for the past 9 months or so. It does look like some cleanup does need to be done of the area due to some duplicate nodes and other problems. But overall I think it has been a

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenSeaMap

Hi Frans, OpenSeaMap(1) is OpenStreetMap, it is a specific rendering of it. If you look on the wikipage you can see there are a couple specific mailing lists for it. -Kate (1) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenSeaMap On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 11:12 PM, Frans Thamura fr...@meruvian.org

Re: [OSM-talk] Worst of OSM

Hi All, Personally I think it is discouraging. I think positive encouragement is much better than this negative method. Sure it is helpful to discuss problems somewhere but I think calling it the Worst of OSM is unfair. If the map is never done then isn't everything technically the worst at some

[OSM-talk] Kickstarter for Haitian Creole OpenStreetMap Book

Hi All, I just wanted to draw your attention to a project HOT is working on in conjunction with Community OpenStreetMap Haiti. We are having a Kickstarter fundraiser for a translation sprint. The sprint will translate the Free OpenStreetMap book from French into Haitian Creole. To have

Re: [OSM-talk] Osmosa Viewer for Osmosa.net and OSM.org

Serge, It is not a fork but a local site, I think there is just some language confusion going on. My understanding of the intent it to provide faster access to OpenStreetMap data within Indonesia. The network within Indonesia is pretty fast, but slow to the rest of the world. So having locally

[OSM-legal-talk] Signing of Contributor Terms

Hi All, Would it be possible to have someone sign the contributor terms rather than login to accept them? If I understand things correctly if I am talking to a data provider who has released their data ODbL they would still need to accept the contributor terms to allow the relicensing of the

Re: [OSM-talk] POI for Hotel

Hi Frans, There is a new application that may be of help: https://github.com/geofabrik/sds-server It allows linking of OSM data to other information. In my training datasets I used rating as an example since that is a subjective idea. -Kate On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM, Frans Thamura

Re: [Talk-ht] incorrect health facility imports

Hi All, Why not remove the ones that are not there? They can always be added back if someone does locate them. This original dataset was imperfect and expected to improve overtime, but didn't really completely finish before the final release. Part of updating OpenStreetMap data and surveying

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] Addition of building footprints in selected U.S. and Canadian cities

We did an imperfect import of building footprints in Washington D.C. a while ago. I personally find it makes the map far more usable for adding other information. With the buildings in I am able to add stores and other details easily without using a GPS, simply by printing Walking Papers.
