2011-10-07 Thread Roland Olbricht
Dear all, Overpass API goes a huge step forward for more stability. Or, to avoid corporate speech, fixing a couple of bugs kept me busy the last five weeks :) All known bugs are fixed at the moment, so I hope, I can develop the features in the next weeks. First of all, thanks to all that have

Hi Stefan, I see following solutions: 1. adapt height of the popup to the remaining space (down to at least 2 items, currently it's 7) 2. leave as is but make default height of the popup smaller, perhaps to 5 items 3. pan map down automatically until popup fits into map window Actually, I

Is it possible to hide them in an collapsible list ? Technically, yes. Current suggestions to handle large tag lists are: - Don't show tag lists at all but refer to the object's page - Clip them after some entries - Show them with a vertical scrollbar in a decent viewport (5 lines or so) - Show

In the past I could generally get the query to complete by running it once, cancelling it, then running it a second time (maybe the 2nd time more data was cached). Now I get either infinite timeout or a server rejection. The query is: osm-script timeout=990 element-limit=1073741824

Dear Bryce, I've cross-checked the Rambler instance. I'm sorry it indeed doesn't work on that instance. It looks like an element on the network, most likely Nginx, disconnects any connection if no data is sent for ten minutes. A similar thing happened on overpass-api.de after 20 to 30 minutes.
