That's very nice! I'm looking foorward to this. Next step would be to add flagging functionality to the map, to enable the general public to flag locations where something is not right (out of date, misplaced,...) I guess this could be engineered using the AJAX classes of OpenLayers, a server side script that puts the markers in the database as specially tagged nodes. Of course, we would need some kind of notifying system to alert the actual OSM contributors of new flags. -- martijn van exel -+- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -+- http://www.schaaltreinen.nl/ Op 28 jan 2008, om 09:14 heeft Richard Fairhurst het volgende geschreven: Martijn van Exel wrote: This would be a cool application to show the dynamic nature of OpenStreetMap: http://mw1.google.com/staticfiles/gmre/index.html Started working on it last night - I'm now waiting for crschmidt to appear in IRC so I can ask him so OpenLayers questions! cheers Richard ___ Talk-nl mailing list Talk-nl@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-nl

Of course, we would need some kind of notifying system to alert the actual OSM contributors of new flags. Well I've been thinking about this functionality too with an addition where mappers can 'register' a certain area and get notification when someone places a marker within that area, supported by some ticket functionality like Trac. This is probably somewhere on the todo list of several people (certainly mine, but still some time away). I hope this functionality will be available soon as it drastically reduces the threshold to participate. ___ Talk-nl mailing list Talk-nl@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-nl

I made a start here: http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~kleptog/bugs.html and there's another prototype around by some others. What needs to be finished is the backend storage, and, most importantly you need a way to display the resulting notes. OpenLayers doesn't currently have a layer that is going to handle thousands of such notes on the map. What you need is something like: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenLayers_Dynamic_POI Which will only fetch the stuff that's in your area, but that code is a complete hack and there are better ways of doing it, it just hasn't been written yet.

Just looked at your demo and have some remarks: - Perhaps the report form could be implemented as an OL popup. This eliminates the need for a page reload and it looks and behaves like one would expect when one ctrl-clicked on the map. - The 'number of poi problem' might also be solved with a number of measures, like: -- If you send the area watching mapper an email with a hyperlink to the map showing the problem POI. This way you'll have only one POI active in the map while watching the problem. -- Corrected/finished reports disappear from the map. -- Require the map to be zoomed in to certain extend before showing any POI. -- POI have a maximum lifetime. ___ Talk-nl mailing list Talk-nl@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-nl

I have some code for the Garmin download site that determines which maptiles reside within a given OL Vector bounding box on the serviside. If you're interested I could mail you that. Not sure if the code will be considered a hack or not though ;-) It's probably comparable to the OL example above (haven't looked at it). ___ Talk-nl mailing list Talk-nl@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-nl
