-------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:44:25 +0200 (CEST) > Von: Lucio Chiappetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: Openstreet list <[email protected]> > Betreff: [OSM-newbies] Public transport maps > I got notice of the "Open Street Map" project from the press (yes ... > paper newspapers :-)) and I wonder whether it could be useful for the > purpose described below. > > I'm a member of a Public Transport Users Committee, which in the near > future is going to present a contribution to a meeting on metropolitan > cities sponsored by some local city councillors. > > The material I'm looking for (and which I would like to include in a latex > beamer presentation) is the following : > > a) (coarse) maps of a number of large cities in Europe. At least Milan, > Paris, London, Munich and Frankfurt. > b) maps of urban public transport lines, with particular regard on > railways, i.e. underground / metro / U-Bahn and local commuter > railways, RER, S-Bahn > c) maps of the metropolitan area administrative boundaries > > Ideally all the material should be on the same scale, or be scalable to a > common scale. Also the material (b) and (c) should possibly be available > in a "vector" form instead of an image ... what I intend to do is overlay > the administrative boundaries and the metro/rail routes onto the main maps > (a), and compare different cities by overlay. > > So far I've been able to deal with the main maps (a), using xv to capture > some Google maps in gif/jpg, and using gimp to adjust them to a coarse > common scale, but it seems very difficult to find the (b) and (c) > material. > > Does the Open Street Map project have the material described above > available for retrieval in some documented format ? > > I am no GIS expert at all, and do not have familiarity with GIS formats, > nor much familiarity with "display" image formats like gif, jpg, png > (except for some occasional use of xv or gimp) however I'm a "programming > astrophysicist". In astronomy we use routinely our own FITS binary format > for images and tables (I'm actually a member of the International > Astronomical Union FITS Working Group), and that includes a > potentially-sophisticated WCS (World Coordinate System) which should > support most common cartographic projections. Also I do not think I'd need > very accurate projections for the purposes illustrated above. So I believe > I could deal with data in a documented format ... having data for several > cities in an uniform format, whatever it be, will already be very useful ! > > Can you please point me to links where I can find the necessary > information ? > > I have now subscribed to the "newbies" list in digest mode.
