Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Remapping efforts in Coventry

2012-03-26 Thread Andy Robinson
Hi Jon, As OSM is changing data licence on 1st April [1] there has been an un-coordinated effort underway globally to replace OSM data that is incompatible with the new licence. The primary reason for incompatibility is where a mapper has declined (or not yet decided) to sign up to the

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Next social mapping day

2012-03-26 Thread Andy Robinson
Brian, Ian others, I can't for the life of me remember what we decided last month for the next social location (for April 5th). I recall we also talked about a mapping day soon in Hampton in Arden or Henley in Arden (was it the latter?) and I note both (and Tamworth-in Arden) could be the basis

I added the data as a proposed rail route using the DfT's published info. It's unfortunate that Mapnik renders the name on the route which is why it shows up on the default map. My original Changesets were as below: #1048624024 January, 2012 17:15 Proposed HS2 rail route (Data provided

Thanks Tom. I've now added a note on the Facebook page too. Changing the name Tag might quieten things a bit. Better still would be not have Mapnik display the name tag at all (since its not displaying the route otherwise) so we could just move the name to another tag? Thoughts anyone?

User Say no to HS was just a rename from the original GMetcalfe. I've now reverted the 5 changesets from these two accounts. I'll look at changing the name tag on the HS2 data when I get a moment to avoid problems in the future. Cheers Andy -Original Message- From: Andrew
