[OSM-talk] OSM in top 100 websites

Yay. OSM appears in the 100 top sites for the year ahead list in UK's Guardian newspaper today: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/dec/18/internet-websites Cheers STEVE Steve Chilton, Learning Support Fellow Manager of e-Learning Academic Development Centre for Educational Technology

Re: [OSM-talk] buildings and roads

Equally roads don't usually run over buildings - which could be case if reversed. Basically auto-rendering of these two can not be correct for all cases/zooms. Needs intelligence to say nudge that building away from the road in this instance - later? Cheers STEVE Steve Chilton, Learning

Re: [OSM-talk] name tags on place=country and how they're rendered on lowzoom

Can you give an example please? The change I instigated in mapnik was to pick up the place=country tag combination from the database and map that. Cheers STEVE -Original Message- From: talk-boun...@openstreetmap.org on behalf of andrzej zaborowski Sent: Mon

[OSM-talk] OSM in use

Nice example of use of OSM tiles as default, in preference to Google, on a property website - noted on Google blog googlemapsmania.blogspot.com: http://www.where-can-i-live.com/londonproperty Cheers STEVE Steve Chilton, Learning Support Fellow Manager of e-Learning Academic Development Centre
