Hi Yohan, Fantastic! I’ve had numerous trainees complain about stuff not showing up on the map, and wow, this gets right at that. It also looks better than the default OSM tiles :-)
Totally agreed that a legend / map key is needed. The American Red Cross would be happy to help with making that if we can get specifications on what’s needed / how you’d like to see it. Speaking of which, if we have anything else in mind that might merit a place on the map, would we be able to discuss with you all further and/or assist with symbology? We’re eager to be contributors and not just users.

So many people have already complained that they digitize stuff "that doesn't appear on the map"! I second David, once the icons and styles will be in reasonnably final stage, it would be necessary to have a map legend / key. And also maybe to host it on a server with a shorter / more explicit name (humanitarianmap.org<http://humanitarianmap.org>? or whatever in this direction). And, naturally, if there was a possibility to serve the whole planet file, it would be even more amazing! :-) Very well done the CAP103 team!

TL;DR: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728 I will now share with you the work in progress on the web rendering step. This web rendering has several goals: One is simply to give editors a way to see the HDM OSM data without having to use JOSM or a SQL console. Another is to give humanitarian actors and developing countries a web map that gives them the information they need, making OSM more and more useful. Finally, this is the occasion for HOT to have its own rendering, a nice way to illustrate its work! What does "highlight the HDM" means for a rendering? The main principle is that each tag considered meaningful for the HDM should be rendered. Here are some examples: - road surface and smoothness are rendered (eg. http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#15/18.6665/-72.3048 where a piece of the primary road is unpaved) - water well are rendered (eg. http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.67901/-72.12665, icons work in progress ;) ) - street lamps are rendered (same link) - The craft tags are rendered (http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.67048/-72.12274) - NGOs have their icons, for example: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.75957/-72.20532 Also: - terrain data is included (will be colorized: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#11/19.5944/-72.1108) - zoom until 20 is allowed: the goal is to enable mapping in very detailed instances. For example, camps (fire hydrants are already rendered: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#20/19.76066/-72.20188 ) Very awesome indeed! I think it is a very important step for HOT to have the entered data visible on a map. It is necessary to both provide feedback to the editors as well as to have a simple and tangible result to communicate to people outside of the project. Something I'm missing is a map key. It's hard to infer the actual state of a road from its color on the map, without guidance. Keep up the amazing work :-) Regards, David _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
