Re: [OSM-talk] short forms of street names

2008-06-25 Thread wer-ist-roger
name:sh is not a good idea, because there could be a language whose code is sh. How about short_name? This could also be localized like short_name:en, short_name:sv etc. I'm already using short_name for abbreviations of building names on the Bayreuth university campus. I don't like the idea

[OSM-talk] User seams to add trash

Very nice that looks really promissing. But a few days ago I hade an idea to give the user an even more realistic experience. I would say it is a 3D-OSM-renderer. My idea was that: Tags that are included should be interpreted as 3D objects. For example if you have a street with highway = 70

[OSM-talk] highway = path in mapnik/osmarander

2008-08-25 Thread wer-ist-roger
Hej everyone, there are several ways that I know of that need to be highway = path but neither mapnik nor osmarander render pathes. I think that path is a real important tag, is there a plan or a chance that mapnik and/or osmarander are going to render it? wer-ist-roger

What's wrong with highway=footway ? Or highway=cycleway if it is mainly for cyclists. As far as I understand is footway or cycleway a very good constructed way and path can be anything where you can walk or bike on and that is less than a track. Correct me if I'm wrong but from the map feature

I study on a very small Campus (at Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld), so it wasn't that hard to get it done. By now I would say it's even more complete than the original map given by the university: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.6081lon=7.16974zoom=17layers=B000FTF Original map from the UCB
