I was saddened to see infighting on the blog comments.
I haven't seen nor heard of a front page reinvention committee.
I see some things are better with less white space. I'd like to see a better 
map key as one thing cartographers whine about is the apparent lack of a map 
key. Today was the first day I ever found it.

One idea is to leverage IRC power, by having an international channel,
where any language is permitted.
And people can respond  live translate, and people can get their answer.

Having this IRC weblink directly on the feedback box will help a great deal.

Many have abandoned this talk@ list because IRC is more efficient.
(kind of like twitter, but the useful version)
and it could be better with more languages permitted.

Imo,
Sam

 So you meant to integrate uservoice.com instead of integrating

 Well I'll go further.

 openstreetbugs is basically there but has a crappy UI. It needs to be

 1) click 'feedback' or 'problem'
 2) enter problem
 3) click ok

 the extra step of clicking where the problem is should not happen, we should
 get that from the bbox or center point plus zoom. So with some changes I
 think we can integrate OSB and expose it front and center to help fix up the
 bugs.

 I think in an environment where every other map on the planet is trying to
 hide their bugs, we should expose ours and fix them quickly while showing
 everyone what they got wrong.

 As for your comments about people entering bugs and feature requests we
 can't handle... look. I understand it's a case of matching requests to
 people who can be bothered to do them. And I understand that people here
 today can't be bothered to fix most of the things that are wrong in OSM
 because we're all happy to work around them... but it's bonkers to be
 dismissive about 'granny' because it's all those grannies out there who are
 going to help us fix this map.

 If I think about all the people who can help today in OSM, I immediately
 think of my brothers and sister, my parents and so on... and the only way is
 if we go through a big complicated loop with walking papers. A bug system
 like the above should be where we're headed. It will make so many more
 people help us, and we will be able to fix so many more things.

 So as for features and software bugs... I think we should turn up the volume
 of the people who want things changed. One, we might learn something about
 what the users actually want (because trac is a poor, poor reflection) and
 two... look we should be the first people to welcome input on what people
 think we should do. We can't all hide in our basement and hack on Java any
 more. We have to help these people who are crying out for it.

 I'll add two more things

 1) Using google insight (bing for it) and many other tools it's very very
 clear that the german community is by far and away huge. That's wonderful,
 but we don't have Germans all over Europe and the US - we need these tools
 out here Frederik to help us fix the map.

 2) We have to be very clear that the openstreetmap.org website is _awful_.
 Horrendous. A total PITA. We're all here because we're persistent with it.
 But the wonderful thing is - we don't have to make the tools and site easy
 to use if we can expose a simple bug system. It's very clear that nobody can
 convince Richard to actually write something any muggle would really want to
 use, you can scream at him to finish the mythical Potlatch 2 all you want,
 but he doesn't give a shit and lives on a boat in bliss. That's his choice,
 and it's totally fine, but if we all feel that way then we have to deal with
 the downside that every single day we lose tens of thousands of edits
 because of that monopoly on bad UI. All I'm suggesting is we sidestep the
 problem and connect people who can report a map bug but can't be bothered to
 deal with pain and suffering of potlatch with the people who can deal with
 it, at least until Richard gets his act together and stops fixing every
 stupid thing in the old codebase. You have to take a step back here and

without the German's you won't get a better map. back to footways are missing

openstreetbugs or keepright are the perfect tools for German's with a large

 Our problem is not that granny doesn't find the feedback button; if we have

 Wrong. Map bugs. Did you read my post Fred ? :-)

As I believe I said last night, it was entirely unclear to me if you

I have been trying for several years now to get somebody to do a

like defaulting based on the current map view would be a perfectly 
sensible thing for such a tool to do.

Like Fred I'm really not sure about using an external site like this in 
much the same way that I've resisted integrating an external tool like 
openstreetbugs into the main site. I will go and have a look at 
uservoice now though, assuming that it's back up...

Fixing openstreetbugs crappy ui and integrating it into the main page 
seems like the better way to go in this case rather than replace it with 
a system that is not designed nor good at handling spacial suggestions.

Are you suggesting that it is a bad idea to specify a location of a map 
bug? Ok, so I will zoom into central london and tell you there is a 
turn restriction missing. How is anyone supposed to help fix this 
without the detailed location information? Even google with their 
report a problem link lets you place a marker to highlight where the 
problem actually is. And perhaps the UI of the bug reporting should say 
at the top something like Hey, you can report a map problem here, no 
problem, but even better would be if you click on the edit button and 
actually fix it your self. But if you feel uncomfortable to do that, 
just report it here and perhaps eventually someone else like you might 
come and fix it

...

 2) We have to be very clear that the openstreetmap.org website is 
 _awful_.Horrendous. A total PITA.

Actually, I am not that clear on why it is all that _awful_. I kind of 
like the design (of the main page). Yes, it has its issues and there are 
a few things I would like to see to improve the usability, that are 
better in your design. (The more prominent search bar, now that we  have 
the technical capabilities to support larger use of search and the 
inclusion of some Quality Assurance tools) But most of those could be 
added incrementally too.

 We're all here because we're persistent with it. But the wonderful thing is - 
 we don't have to make the tools and site easy to use if we can expose a 
 simple bug system.

Yes, a simple bug system can help. In particular in those regions that 
are already complete, are in maintanace mode and have sufficient 
established mappers that are actually looking for things to do. But in 
all other cases, which unfortunately at the moment are probably still 
the majority, just reporting problems won't actually get them fixed.

 It's very clear that nobody can convince Richard to actually write something 
 any muggle would really want to use, you can scream at him to finish the 
 mythical Potlatch 2 all you want, but he doesn't give a shit and lives on a 
 boat in bliss.

I don't think this comment is fair, as Richard is doing a wonderful job, 
especially as a one man volunteer. But I will leave it at that.

That's his choice, and it's totally fine, but if we all feel that way 
then we have to deal with the downside that every single day we lose 
tens of thousands of edits because of that monopoly on bad UI. All I'm

codebase.

 You have to take a step back here and realise what we're missing out on.

I think what we are (partly) missing out on here is people technically 
capable on actually implementing any of those suggestions and also some 
people who are technically skilled enough to realize what is feasible 
for volunteers to achieve and what not and are willing to work closely 
with the implementers to get the UI user friendly. People just throwing 
ideas over the wall, can occasionally be useful, but I don't think that 
is our main problem. Although the general attitude of Open source 
programmers of Oh the code is that way, so go and fix it your self is 
not always helpful either.

[OSM-talk] Photo_mapping - How to put EXIF data into a jpg image

2010-02-21 Thread Niklas Cholmkvist
Hi,

I use a 'distribution based on Debian Lenny', 'Ubuntu Karmic 9.10' and
'a distribution based on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04'.
When I photo map I take some photos which I later synchronise with a GPS
trace, to know with the most precision where I had taken the photos.

I would like to put the lat long data right into the JPEG images though.
I don't know how to use gpsbabel or any other program to integrate the
lat lon in the EXIF part of the photos. I can use the commandline if it
is required or if there are a few simple commands. 
Maybe a command could be:
exiv2 -a 01:02:03 ad *.jpg

I don't have trouble writing them one by one, if I know the command to
use. I've seen Seth Golub's geocoding scripts, but there was no
documentation so I didn't understand what to do with the scripts.
Does anyone know of a command of exiv2 to take the location from a gps
trace file (gpx) and put it inside the EXIF part of a jpg image?
My purpose would be to later upload the photos with the EXIF data into
them to a photo service, which I later link to from a source tag for
various data in openstreetmap.

I'm looking forward to replies,

Niklas

Re: [OSM-talk] Inquiry about Egnos / Indoor mapping

2010-02-21 Thread Aun Johnsen
Yes, EGNOS is live, free, reliable, and all of that. Coverage are
limited to Europe (similarly WAAS is available in the US, and I think
also Canada and Northern Mexico) and a similar system in Japan (don't
remember name).

EGNOS require clear view of the sky in the same way that the GPS
needs, meaning that it will give no aid when the receiver is indoor.
EGNOS does not provide positions to the algorithm, it provides
corrections of the GPS satelites in order to enhance the algorithm in
the unti. This often results in 50% better accuracy (or something like
that) than the raw GPS position.

There are a few other services that does the same, with more coverage.
Most common is IALA, also live, free and reliable. IALA corrections
can be activated on some GPS receivers, specially those advertised as
dGPS units. The coverage of IALA is focused on the coasts as it aims
on the maritime industry. How much it enhances the accuracy depends on
the distance to the station.

There are a serie of commercial services as well, but they usually
need special hardware and expencive licenses to utilize. From my work
place we use Spotbeam and Inmarsat (supplied from Fugro, these are the
same signal, sent via different satelites), HP/XP (also Fugro, but a
different signal), Veripos (transmitted by Veripos), IALA (free), SBAS
(common name for WAAS/EGNOS/all other related systems), GPS464/GPS465
(Corrections transmitted by UHF link, generally used by Petrobras,
very short range).

Where I live and do ground survey for OSM there are no SBAS coverage
(neither EGNOS nor WAAS), but hope that a similar system will be
opened also here. I would also like to upgrade my GPS unit to one that
can take both IALA and SBAS corrections and handles maps. (Current
unit have SBAS corrections, no IALA, and no maps:( )

 I would like to put the lat long data right into the JPEG images though.

There are plenty of tools to do this:

* gpscorrelate  - a command line tool, where you specify the gpx file, 
the images and (optionally) a time offset

* prune - graphical tool that can be used to display gpx in front of osm 
map background and edit the gpx file. It supports geoimage features, as

* photo_geotagging - a plugin for josm that does just that.

 look at openstreetbugs and most could be closed right away. the feedback from 
 most people is useless. a comment footways are missing in this park doesn't

While I am all in favour of enticing more people to lend their local 
knowledge to improve OSM (and I believe there is a *lot* we can 
harness), I must say that Apollinaris has a point here. Commentary on 
OSM from people who do not have a basic understanding of it tends to be 
worthless. It is not worthless all the time, but very often so. That's 
because if people cannot be made to understand that there is something 
like data behind the map, and the map will always show a selection of 
what's there, they are bound to mix up the following:

* data missing
* wrong data
* things left out on purpose on a specific zoom level
* properties of an object that have been mapped but are not shown
* things that have not been mapped because nobody is interested
* ...

Now we can either adopt a free-for-all approach where we encourage 
everyone to leave their feedback without spending 10 seconds on 
understanding how this map is generated, and then have a lot of work in 
post-processing (explaining to people that if they only had zoomed in 
further, the restaurant they were looking for would've been shown etc.) 
- or we can crowd-source this work by trying to educate those who wish 
to help, at the possible cost of turning away those with too small 
attention spans or too little technical aptitude.

Re: [OSM-talk] Photo_mapping - How to put EXIF data into a jpg image

2010-02-21 Thread Greg Troxel

  I would like to put the lat long data right into the JPEG images though.
  I don't know how to use gpsbabel or any other program to integrate the
  lat lon in the EXIF part of the photos. I can use the commandline if it
  is required or if there are a few simple commands. 
  Maybe a command could be:
  exiv2 -a 01:02:03 ad *.jpg

Install exiftool; it more or less will do what you want, with a time
offset and writing exif geo tags from a gpx.

From the man page:

The Geosync tag may be used to specify a time correction which
is applied to each Geotime value for synchronization with GPS
time.  For example, the following command compensates for image
times which are 1 minute and 20 seconds behind GPS:

exiftool -geosync=+1:20 -geotag a.log DIR

[OSM-talk] Annotated Haiti video

2010-02-21 Thread Yves Moisan
Hi All,

I watched the OSM animation [1] showing edit activity a few days before 
and a couple of weeks after the earthquake.  It's great !  However, I 
think some sort of factual annotations (voice or maybe superimposed 
images ?) would be very helpful to convey how useful the edits were.  
What I mean by  factual annotations is anything that would explain the 
white flashes.  I know there aren't such big flashes as the ones I saw 
on another animation (a year of edits 200? showing India flashing and a 
few US states) but there are some noticeable ones.  It could be just 
flashing the number of nodes/ways/whatever added/edited.  Or it could be 
adding the name of NGO's or organizations that either contributed data 
(for a specific flash ?) or benefited from it by loading it on their GPS 
units.  Maybe some free floating and moving div with a tag cloud 
containing organization names ?

I am asking this for a very selfish purpose : I was asked to do a short 
presentation of OSM at a meeting and I'd love being able to tell the 
audience what use the data was.  The video definitely shows how 
responsive the OSM community was with respect to the earthquake.  I'd 
like to go further and link some of the data editing activities with its 
usefulness in the field.

Cheers,

Yves Moisan

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM2PQSQL / PostGis: Coordinate Conversion

2010-02-21 Thread d8930

Hi,
I am working on this as well. However, for testing I am using a point that
lies in the German city of Wiesbaden-Naurod. This city has the
geocoordinates 8.301388 / 50.13472. When I transform it by
SELECT astext(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(8.301388,50.13472),
4326), 900913))
I get the value POINT(924106.285037392 6469639.74359406), which pretty much
is the same as the value in my PostGIS-DB (that was fed from OSM):
646985238;92409686 (considering multiplication by 100).
However, the other way round, with 
SELECT
astext(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(92409686/100,646985238/100),
900913), 4326)))
I get the strange result POINT(1.30152356525693e-06 7.86059348425535e-06)
instead of somethin with 8.3* and 50.1*.
Any idea, why this could be?

It works for me, though there was an extra ) in what you quoted.

gis= select 
astext(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(92409686/100,646985238/100),900913),
 4326));
 astext  
-
 POINT(8.30129560793713 50.135942170124)
(1 row)

You will get slightly better accuracy if you divide by 100.0 to force
the result to be calculated as a float:

gis= select 
astext(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(92409686/100.0,646985238/100.0),900913),
 4326));
 astext

 POINT(8.3013044857 50.135944358132)

I don't think that's the issue - I think that most people aren't aware of OSB 
or keepright etc because they're not front ant center.

 the extra step of clicking where the problem is should not happen, we should 
 get that from the bbox or center point plus zoom. So with some changes I 
 think we can integrate OSB and expose it front and center to help fix up the 
 bugs.
 
 I think in an environment where every other map on the planet is trying to 
 hide their bugs, we should expose ours and fix them quickly while showing 
 everyone what they got wrong.
 
 As for your comments about people entering bugs and feature requests we 
 can't handle... look. I understand it's a case of matching requests to 
 people who can be bothered to do them. And I understand that people here 
 today can't be bothered to fix most of the things that are wrong in OSM 
 because we're all happy to work around them... but it's bonkers to be 
 dismissive about 'granny' because it's all those grannies out there who are 
 going to help us fix this map.
 
 the grannies are useless unless you sit down with them and talk to them 
 finally and do the entry yourself. 

I'm trying to make the point that a simple OSB -like interface means you don't 
have to.

 If I think about all the people who can help today in OSM, I immediately 
 think of my brothers and sister, my parents and so on... and the only way is 
 if we go through a big complicated loop with walking papers. A bug system 
 like the above should be where we're headed. It will make so many more 
 people help us, and we will be able to fix so many more things.
 
 something like walking papers is what non geeks understand because they know 
 paper maps. or to repeat you have to sit down with them

Right... but OSB is even simpler because you don't have to print it out etc.

 So as for features and software bugs... I think we should turn up the volume 
 of the people who want things changed. One, we might learn something about 
 what the users actually want (because trac is a poor, poor reflection) and 
 two... look we should be the first people to welcome input on what people 
 think we should do. We can't all hide in our basement and hack on Java any 
 more. We have to help these people who are crying out for it.
 
 I'll add two more things
 
 1) Using google insight (bing for it) and many other tools it's very very 
 clear that the german community is by far and away huge. That's wonderful, 
 but we don't have Germans all over Europe and the US - we need these tools 
 out here Frederik to help us fix the map.
 
 
 without the German's you won't get a better map. back to footways are 
 missing in this park it's sitting in openstreetbugs for many months (or 
 years?) openstreetbugs or keepright are the perfect tools for German's with a 
 large community look at US. even a 5+ mio area like the bay area has probably 
 less than 100 active mappers. they can and will do cooler and more rewarding 
 things first.

Sure. In Germany you have this amazing community where there's a stamptish 
around every corner. But out here it's much harder and we need these easier 
tools to build the map.

 I have been trying for several years now to get somebody to do a properly

 like defaulting based on the current map view would be a perfectly sensible 
 thing for such a tool to do.

Go to oDesk.com and pay someone to do it? That's what I did. I think the 
community is great at many things, but for those you spend years on not 
convincing anybody, you can just pay them.

 Like Fred I'm really not sure about using an external site like this in much 
 the same way that I've resisted integrating an external tool like 
 openstreetbugs into the main site. I will go and have a look at uservoice now 
 though, assuming that it's back up...

I don't care if it's uservoice or whatever. The thing about uservoice is though 
that it's working today and they have free plans for open source projects. If 
there's a better solution, lets use it.

Re: [OSM-talk] [OSM-dev] OSM front page design concept

2010-02-21 Thread Graham Jones
As there are two sorts of problems - 'easy fix' ones (There is a bank
here, This road is Clifton Road, not Clifton Avenue etc.) and the 'hard'
ones (this road is also part of NCN Route 17 or there is a road missing
here), maybe we need two solutions?

OpenStreetBugs is pretty good for the harder ones, but I think we should
encourage casual users to fix the easy ones.

This would mean providing a simple editor with a very limited feature set,
that concentrates on being easy to use (probably following Microsoft UI
style of single click, double click, right click etc. to make it intuitive
for most users).

I have seen a javascript application to allow users to add POIs (can't
remember the web address though) - I would suggest that we work up a
specification for what a non technical user would need to be able to work on
these simple things and look at producing something similar under the 'Edit'
tab, with an 'Advanced' option that opens Potlatch.

Thoughts?

Graham.

 Are you suggesting that it is a bad idea to specify a location of a map bug? 
 Ok, so I will zoom into central london and tell you there is a turn 
 restriction missing. How is anyone supposed to help fix this without the 
 detailed location information? Even google with their report a problem link 
 lets you place a marker to highlight where the problem actually is. And 
 perhaps the UI of the bug reporting should say at the top something like 
 Hey, you can report a map problem here, no problem, but even better would be 
 if you click on the edit button and actually fix it your self. But if you 
 feel uncomfortable to do that, just report it here and perhaps eventually 
 someone else like you might come and fix it

I like the latter, reporting the *exact* location as a extra feature. I think 
you'll get more bugs if you allow people to type descriptively the location 
rather than force a click on the location. It seems simple to all of us, but it 
isn't to the vast majority of people.


 
 ...
 
 
 I'll add two more things
 
 1) Using google insight (bing for it) and many other tools it's very very

 but we don't have Germans all over Europe and the US - we need these tools

 2) We have to be very clear that the openstreetmap.org website is 
 _awful_.Horrendous. A total PITA.
 
 Actually, I am not that clear on why it is all that _awful_. I kind of like 
 the design (of the main page). Yes, it has its issues and there are a few 
 things I would like to see to improve the usability, that are better in your 
 design. (The more prominent search bar, now that we  have the technical 
 capabilities to support larger use of search and the inclusion of some 
 Quality Assurance tools) But most of those could be added incrementally too.

It's the number one complaint I hear when I fly all over the world talking to 
people about OSM. Bad design, hard to learn editor tools (just go and look at 
Google/Waze stuff for comparison) and then the dreaded when will you guys get 
your act together and change license...

 We're all here because we're persistent with it. But the wonderful thing is 
 - we don't have to make the tools and site easy to use if we can expose a 
 simple bug system.
 
 Yes, a simple bug system can help. In particular in those regions that are 
 already complete, are in maintanace mode and have sufficient established 
 mappers that are actually looking for things to do. But in all other cases, 
 which unfortunately at the moment are probably still the majority, just 
 reporting problems won't actually get them fixed.
 
 It's very clear that nobody can convince Richard to actually write something 
 any muggle would really want to use, you can scream at him to finish the 
 mythical Potlatch 2 all you want, but he doesn't give a shit and lives on a 
 boat in bliss.
 
 I don't think this comment is fair, as Richard is doing a wonderful job, 
 especially as a one man volunteer. But I will leave it at that.

I'm sorry I disagree. I think it's great Richard volunteers of course, and puts 
all the effort in, but it has to be said that that effort would be 100x more 
useful in finishing potlatch 2 than more time on potlatch 1.

 I think what we are (partly) missing out on here is people technically 
 capable on actually implementing any of those suggestions and also some 
 people who are technically skilled enough to realize what is feasible for 
 volunteers to achieve and what not and are willing to work closely with the 
 implementers to get the UI user friendly. People just throwing ideas over the 
 wall, can occasionally be useful, but I don't think that is our main problem. 
 Although the general attitude of Open source programmers of Oh the code is 
 that way, so go and fix it your self is not always helpful either.

That's exactly it - and why I made that point on the OGD post. Some projects 
have a 'design dictator' because nobody can ever agree web design issues. 
That's a bit harsh but it's one way to do it.

 This comment is so completely over the top that for me at least it completely 
 invalidates anything else that SteveC might say. Potlatch is an excellent 
 tool for many users, myself included.

It mostly works for me too, but we have a lot of patience. If you look at the 
bigger picture beyond us though it's very hard to use and there's a much better 
codebase waiting in the wings. It doesn't look like that will be finished. Now, 
you can dance around that and talk about how receptive Richard is:

 It has been improving steadily, and in my experience Richard Fairhurst is 
 very thoughtful and receptive.

And that's fine, and he is thoughtful... but at the end of the day that doesn't 
make PL any easier to use. The simple fact is that PL2 needs to get finished 
and PL1 needs to be put in to an end-of-life freeze. I don't see that 
happening, but I do see hundreds of frustrated people at conferences (like I 
did yesterday) who give up on it when really we should be welcoming them. So 
I'd prefer not to pretend there isn't a problem, there is, it's big, and we 
should try to do something about it.

I'm not sure whether this will do what you need - but I think it will. 
Take a look at Exifer at:


http://www.friedemann-schmidt.com/software/exifer/

The program is no longer maintained but I find it works fine for the 
things I need. It has the advantage of being very simple, low overhead 
... and free. The link page also gives the author's ideas of 
alternatives that he considers better - so plenty to research from there.

What proof do you have for that?

You're comparing oranges with apples.
With OSM being vector graphics  icons, it's much easier to get to grips 
with than a scripting language.
(As a side point, I think all references to XML format data should be 
banned from the wiki. It's too confusing  not relevant for newbies.)

Initial points after skimming your link:

15 is not a big enough set for accurate conclusions. Even worse it was 
vetted down, removing users who were willing editors. This gives a 
distorted view on how user friendly it is. And they were just from SF.

Environment plays a big part in opinion surveys like this. Going on the 
photo' for the remote sessions it's results are hardly surprising - 
uncomfortable seats, broom cupboard room (I bet it got hot in there)   
poor posture positions.
Most OSM users will learn at their own pace in the comfort of their own 
homes.

I got to grips with OSM fairly quickly, yet I've still not worked out 
how to edit a wiki properly.

[OSM-talk] Planet, osm2pgsql interruptus, and reclaiming disk space

2010-02-21 Thread Michal Migurski
Hi,

I have a problem with osm2pgsql and postgres, I hope someone can point  
me in the right direction for a fix. I started up a whole-planet  
osm2pgsql import session from a recent planet dump. While that was  
going on, the computer had to be rebooted and the process was  
interrupted. Now I have no data tables (okay) and a few dozen GB less  
disk space (not okay). I tried to vacuum full the planet_osm  
database, but didn't reclaim any space. Where does storage go when  
osm2pgsql is rudely interrupted like that? Temp files? A core dump  
somewhere? Any advice much appreciated.

osm2pgsql only stores data in PostgreSQL. I imagine that the extra disk
space is in use in the postgres DB directory. I should get cleared and
re-used if you begin the import again. Otherwise you should be able to
reclaim it immediately by dropping the database.

But as we can't change the past work on making it an alternative to
Potlatch on the main site (as well as offering JOSM as another
alternative).

This is something I brought up on IRC yesterday. I think it would be
nice to change the Edit tab so that when the first time you use it
you don't get Potlatch but a short page showing screenshots  a short
explanation for the most popular editors, with an emphasis on the
Potlatch/Mapzen icon explaining that you can edit right now if you

Then after that when editing you'd get a short message somewhere on

 disk
 space is in use in the postgres DB directory. I should get cleared and
 re-used if you begin the import again. Otherwise you should be able to
 reclaim it immediately by dropping the database.


Thanks Jon.

I'm hesitant to drop the DB because of some other data stored there,  
but it's good to know that osm2pgsql doesn't have any other storage  
squireled away elsewhere.

[OSM-talk] 3D OpenStreetMap? (micazook)

2010-02-21 Thread Valent Turkovic
Hi, please check out this video and then share your opinion it this is
maybe start of 3D OpenStreetMap?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tVcAuNpgk8feature=grec
There is also a blog: http://micazook.com/MicaBlogs.mica

ps. I'm not involved with micazook.com and have no further info, just
stumbled upon this myself via youtube recommended video.

Hi folks,

On Dom 21 Feb 2010, SteveC wrote:
 1) click 'feedback' or 'problem'
 2) enter problem
 3) click ok

I think an easy feedback system is great. And I like the idea of exposing 
bugs.

For this I think it would be essential to coordinate a bit and prepare in an 
explicit manner workflows (and make them fun, light and non-bureaucratic).

I know, these workflows exist already, but they are not mapped (not 
documented) I think, as usual in an OpenSource project or other common team 
structures, where workflows establish themselves over time, and mostly 
perform quite well.

Basically I think of creating a tree of bug categories, and in the end of that 
tree should be supporters who feel it their job to fix the incoming bugs.

This bug tree should be easy and fun to use. For me, i.e. bugzilla is an 
example of a highly functional but difficult bug tracking system.

The first supporters we need are the ones who decide the category of a bug, to 
assign bugs to the right category/ supporting people.

Oviously, bug categories correlate with skill profile, interest and free time 
of supporters (and for mapping fixes, geographic activity).
I think it would be helpful as well to make a survey about skill profiles of 
the supporters (us), to find in some emergency perhaps another supporter who 
could help out, without depending always on optimal communications.
So this would expose as well the skill and power of human resources (or the 
lack of it) of an important part of the OSM project.

So your kind of provocative post could have a very good impact on OSM I think, 
in establishing better-organized workflows.
Of course the whole process should be fun, and no boring bug-fixing slavery.

Even more challenging than that kind of system to organize collaborative work 
would be establishing an organized system of decision-making (but I think 
this is perhaps just fully utopic democratic geekery).
Chances are that an external feedback system will not fit our needs.

Cheers!

Jochen

How much traffic do you have and will you get a fine or ticket for
choosing the best racing line ?

I would like to do something about the related problem of routing
through parking areas. But non-convex objects are quite hard to detect
and process considering how much data we have. Furthermore, I believe
academics have not yet found an efficient (n^2 or n^3) algorithm for
routing through areas and the best we have is something like exp(n).

If it's not a one-way road, routing software should be pretty much fine,
even if it ignores the area tag and treats the road as a loop.

 2/3 of active users contributed more than the Potlatch live mode error in

 the stricter definition of active users reduces these numbers to 1/8

 Osm contributions is still a project for geeks and this will not change

That's totally moronic.

 OSB or other bug entry systems for non mappers are pointless until the

 their own interests.

No, we need to keep innovating not living in 1991.

 
 OSB is really cool idea but definitely lacks 2 features
 - add pictures, now all smart-phones have gps and camera.  a pic will tell 
 more than any description. this is easy for anyone to take pics of turn 
 restrictions, speed limits, all kinds of POI. I use Josm with geotagged pics 
 and this is better than anything else and much faster than notebooks, walking 
 papers …
 - no contact info. as a mapper it's not possible to verify and ask for more 
 details. sure anonymous bugs should be allowed but many people are willing to 
 share their contact email and will love the idea to get points for a certain 
 number of bugs, or a voting system ala amazon reviews might attract non

I really welcome tools like the wonderful mapbox.com (for devs) and

I can't agree or disagree here. It's just numbers.
I am sure other opensource projects and especially wikipedia will have similar 
patterns. though their numbers might be completely different.
until someone contacts a statistical sample of users and ask why this is pure 
speculation. 
some interesting questions
- how many users have a GIS, Software background?
- which tool, osm.org, wiki, lack of documentation, lack of support, … stopped 
them

this could be done when we move to the new license and all active users have to 
be contacted anyway and might shed some light on the motivation 

just in case you forgot. Tom said it many times. fix it, send patches.
I am sure Richard will say the same for Potlatch.

The GPS/UTC time offset is sent as part of the almanac data. Effectively,  
if you have a position lock, time will be in UTC. Most GPS receivers can  
output the time before achieving a position lock. That might be UTC or it  
might be GPS time, depending on if the almanac has been received or not.

I see no difference between GPS and official ntp (network time protocol)

AFAIK for ntp servers exist drivers to connect GPS as an official reference 
time, to distribute and synchronize that time in a network.

So (we are blessed) there is no time forking. I think the problem is the 
POSIX gmtime() function, the algorithm to calculate UNIX epoch seconds is not 
exact. In our case of photo geo tagging this is no issue I think.
Please tell me if I'm wrong here.

How were you planning to achieve this?

Mapping streets (and other linear features) as areas has been
discussed many times on the tagging list. See e.g.
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2010-February/001389.html

There is still no consensus that I'm aware of for how to do this
(though I personally think a possible solution is to represent a road
as an area (for e.g. rendering) AND a way (for e.g. routing), and
relate them with a relation).

I would suggest bringing this up again (if you like) on
tagg...@openstreetmap.org, rather than talk@openstreetmap.org :)

Everyone keeps complaining that OSB is the wrong approach, it will

and current bugs listed aren't much of a guide because those finding
OSM probably won't stumble upon OSB unless they start mapping.

I don't see any harm in integrating something into OSM, like OSB, but

If you know the rough start location then yes you can pull that info

this way, some even have a void running through them where roads go :)

They usually show up as one big boundary...

Hello Local Contacts,

Ævar suggested you'd be good people to spread the gospel about the
Google Data Liberation Front initiative.

In brief:

Google have an initiative to make sure data can't be locked in to
Google. Usually this means adding an export function or using a
well-known file format (e.g. GMail, Google Docs). But in the case of
maps, as ever, it's licensing that's the problem.

So we're asking that they sort out the licensing so people know where
they stand with tracings from Google aerial imagery. What we'd like, of
course, is that the tracings are unrestricted - so we could use them in OSM!

Google ask people to vote on these suggestions via Google Moderator. Our
suggestion is at http://url.ie/2ero , and so far it has 414 votes -
that's three times the next most popular. :)

Please, if you can, post it to your local lists and spread the word. We
want it to be so well supported that Google feel they have to respond.

where ST_NumPoints(linestring)1

Ich sehe im moment keine moeglichkeit im SQL das zusammenzubauen was
da in den Advanced MultiPolygon steht ...

Wenn man das getrennt fuer die outer und inner macht kommt da keine flaeche
bei raus weil ja die outer zusammen keine flaeche bilden.

Und wenn wir schon dabei sind - wie finde ich raus welche flaeche ich von
welcher flaeche abziehen soll?

Okay - Also die idee die ich habe (noch nicht fertig) - Alle polygone
zusammensammeln, nach der groesse sortieren und via xor uebereinander legen
dabei mit dem groessten anfangen.

So habe ich zumindest schonmal die einzelnen polygone der groesse nach

select (ST_Dump(geom)).geom from
(
select  ST_Polygonize(linestring) as geom
from(
select  linestring
fromways
where   id in (
select  member_id
fromrelation_members
where   member_type = 'W'
and relation_id = 163109
order bymember_role
)
) as waylines
where ST_NumPoints(linestring)1
) as polygons
order by ST_Area(geom) desc


Nur das Xor fehlt mir gerade noch ...

[Talk-de] Neue Wanderzeichen /-markierungen - Symbole

2010-02-21 Thread fuddel26
Hallo,
 
ich habe eifrig nach einem Wanderzeichen für den Wanderweg Deutsche 
Weinstraße gesucht. In der OSMC Reit- und Wanderkarte werden, wie ich finde 
gute und schöne, Wanderzeichen angezeigt. Wie diese in der Karte erzeugt werden 
ist mir teilweise klar. Z.B. scheint für Pferdeverbot es auszureichen, wenn 
horse=no angegeben ist und diese in einer (mir nicht klar welcher) Datenbank 
abgelegt sind.
 
Nun möchte ich, daß für den Wanderweg Deutsche Weinstraße das Symbol gerne 
angeben, in der Relation z.B. oder als Schlüssel-Wert Kombination. Ist mir 
gleich.
 
Es gibt ein abfotografiertes Bild auf 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Trail_markings für den Weg.Da diese 
ein Foto ist wird das nicht klappen, denke ich.
 
Ich würde gerne ein Sybol erstellen und in die Datenbank eintragen.
 
Wäre erfreut über Hinweise wie ich das erreiche.
 
Gruß
 
 
Klaus

Wie Du in OSM solche Wandermarkierungen eintragen kannst, findest Du hier
[1] nachlesen.

Die Weinstraße hat bereits ein Symbol-Tag: green:white: :WDW:green, also
nur mit einem Text.

Mit dem vor kurzem hinzugekommenen Symbol Grünes Dreieck auf der Spitze
(green_triangle_turned) ließe sich die Weintraube vermutlich gut annähern,
das könntest Du dahingehend ändern.

Re: [Talk-de] Strassensuche in der Karte

2010-02-21 Thread Alexander Matheisen
 Zu deiner Karte, dein gutes Recht.
 Aber der IE ist noch immer mit Abstand der am weitesten verbreitete
  Browser. Muss man so hinnehmen, umerziehen funktioniert nicht mal eben.
  Ist mir auch ehrlich gesagt egal. Ich bin der letzte der jemandem seine
  Lieblingssoftware mit teils unsinnigen Argumenten aufs Auge drücken
  möchte. Ich könnte nichts böses darüber sagen. IE war bei mir bisher
  genauso Sicher wie jeder andere Browser auch. Die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen
  und der vor der Tatstatur machen es aus, nicht der Name oder die Firma
  dahinter.
 
 Wenn ich nun beispielsweise Werbung oder Anfragen für OSM mache, dann muss
 ich davon ausgehen, dass gegenüber eben ein IE läuft, der durch
  irgendwelche Arbeitsplatzlizenzen etc. sogar vorgeschrieben ist. Da kann
  man dann leider nicht mehr entsprechende IE Unfähige Seiten mitgeben.
 
 Da hilft es dann auch nicht auf den Firefox zu verweisen. Entweder können
 die nicht, oder da passiert in den meisten Fällen das gleiche wie früher
  mit den Für IE optimiert Seiten bei Anhängern anderer Browser. Die haben
  es auch nicht eingesehen mal eben den Bwrowser zu wecheln. Umgekehrte
  Situation heute, die man keinem krum nehmen kann.

Oh Wunder, ich habe die Karte zumindest für den IE 8 voll lauffähig bekommen!

Das Problem waren so einige Eigenarten dieses Browsers, wie z.B., dass eine 
Variable nicht den gleichen Namen wie die id eines HTML-Elementes haben darf! 
Etwas merkwürdig, dieses Verhalten. Und was mich eben dabei aufregt, ist, dass 
man nur für einen einzigen Browser erstmal lange nach den möglichen 
Fehlerursachen suchen kann, und dann erstmal einige Browserweichen einbauen 
muss. Alles musste ich im Prinzip für den IE anpassen:

* Handling beim Druck der Entertaste
* CSS-Style
* Favicon
* Teile des Javascripts (siehe oben)
* den Button zum Melden von Spam bei OSB


Sollte man gegenüber so einem intoleranten Browser etwa tolerant sein?
Ich habe besseres zu tun, als mich stundenlang hinzusetzen, und alles nur für 
den IE umzuschreiben. Dies hängt bei mir auch nicht mit dem IE zusammen. Würde 
sich der Firefox so wenig an die Standarts halten, würde ich auch ihn 
irgendwie hassen.

Wofür gibt es Webstandarts, wenn man es doch immer an jeden Browser anpassen 
muss?

 Du hast als Fahrzeugführer im Strassenverkehr gewisse

 Zustand deines Fahrzeuges überzeugen. Zu dieser Sorgfalt gehört meines
 erachtens auch, bei Verwendung eines Navis dazu geeignete Geräte zu
 verwenden.


nach meinem Erachten gehört das Navigationsgerät nicht zu den
Bestandteilen des Fahrzeugs, von deren sicheren Zustand man sich bei
Fahrtantritt überzeugen muss. Genauso wie es z.B auch nicht verboten
ist, mit einer Karte von 1924 im Handschuhfach rumzufahren. Oder mit
einer Karte für Skifahrer, die für Kfz gar nicht geeignet ist. Oder
mit überhaupt keiner Karte. Karten und Navigationsgeräte sind kein
Bestandteil des Kfz., und man sollte sich im Zweifel auch nicht danach

 Und Du bist der Meinung, dies müsse ohne wenn und aber in die Karte?

:) Das habe ich nie behauptet.

Die OSM-*Datenbank* sollte aber an sich in der Lage sein, auch solche  
temporären Zustände wiederzugeben, wenn jemand meint, die taggen zu  
müssen (was andere in diesem Thread vorgeschlagen haben, nicht ich).

Nur dazu braucht man eben etwas feinere Möglichkeiten, als die  
bisherigen GUI-Editoren das ermöglichen. Von Hand in JOSM geht  
natürlich alles, wird aber evtl. vom nächsten User mit einem GUI- 
Editor nicht berücksichtigt und überschrieben, warum jetzt auch immer.

Deshalb mag ich Christians Vorschlag mit den Vorlagen.


 Meine Meinung nach sprechen verschiedene Aspekte dagegen. Zum einen  
 ist eine
 Seekarte keine normale topografische Karte, sondern eine Darstellung  
 von
 Verkehrszeichen. [...]

Ja klar.


 [...] In der Regel wird die
 Schifffahrtsverwaltung also schneller mit der Korrektur sein als der  
 Maper
 mit dem Verzeichnen des Fehlers. Zumal es nicht so viele Seefahrende  
 Maper
 gibt.

Aus hauptsächlich diesem Grund halte ich nicht viel davon, von Anfang  
an Abweichungen zu taggen. Sich bei Tonnen also auf Sollpositionen und  
den Ursprungszustand (mit intakten Toppzeichen etc.) zu beschränken,  
wäre vorerst sinnvoll.


 Es ist also auch ein Problem der Aktualität der Karte.  Auch das ein
 Grund, allenfalls eine Zusatzinformation mit Datum der Sichtung an die
 Tonne.

Ja, genau.


 [...]

 Nationale Ergänzungen sind zulässig, jedoch keine Abweichungen
 vom festgelegten Standard.

 Was glaubst Du, was alles gemacht wird, obwohl es nicht zulässig  
 ist...

 In der Seefahrt ist mir so etwas bisher noch nicht aufgefallen,  
 allerdings
 kenne ich bisher auch nur die Ostsee.

Du hast Recht, die WSAs und die meisten ihrer Pendants in der Welt  
bemühen sich im Allgemeinen schon sehr, Abweichungen zu vermeiden.  
Mein Argument ist nur: Ausnahmen *kommen* vor, deshalb muss die mit  
OSM arbeitende Software mit ihnen rechnen, und zwar bei allen  
Attributen und Kombinationen.


 Könnte mir aber vorstellen, dass die
 vom üblichen Schema abweichenden Tonnen dann extra auf der Seekarte  
 erklärt
 werden.

Die in der nautischen Kartographie gebräuchlichen IHO-Standards S-4  
(ehem. M-4) und S-57 ENC lassen da einiges mehr zu, als in einem  
einfachen GUI-Editor ohne Weiteres abbildbar ist. In der Praxis werden  
Abweichungen manchmal nicht erklärt (z. B. wenn sie landesüblich  
sind [1]), manchmal umgangen (z. B. Tonnensignaturen ersetzt durch  
Schrift betonnt [2]), manchmal durch Kartenschrift erklärt [3].

[1] besondere Bedeutung von Toppzeichen auf Warngebietstonnen in  
Deutschland
[2] einige privat bezeichnete Fahrwasser
[3] sehr selten, steht dann eher im Seehandbuch


 Wie gesagt eine eingetragene Tonne, deren Bedeutung sich nicht
 erschließt, weil sie nicht im offiziellen Schema vorkommt, ist  
 wertlos für
 die Navigation.

Naja, sie hat vielleicht keine verkehrliche Bedeutung, aber immer noch  
einen Wert als Navigationshilfe (also zu Orientierungszwecken).

 Ich weiss nicht, was daran lustig sein soll.

Z 265 sagt ganz klar, daß Fahrzeuge, die höher als die Angabe auf dem
Schild sind, dort nicht fahren *dürfen*. Egal ob es technisch passen
könnte oder nicht.

 Es ist einfach eine Fehleinschätzung der Toleranzen und des Umgangs damit.
 Denn wenn der Fahrer -um im Bild zu bleiben- 3m90 hohen Gespanns vor so
 einem Schild steht und hofft, dass wie üblich 20cm Sicherheitsreserve in
 der Beschilderung vorhanden sind, zumal wenn man sich auf der richtigen
 Fahrbahnseite hält...
 Und wenn die Toleranz eben mal knapper bemessen ist, dann heisst's hoch
  gepokert und verloren.

Wer so bescheuert ist und da ungebremst durchrauschen will hat den
Lacher verdient.
Sorry, aber wenn ich schon ein solches Zeichen mißachte, dann laß ich
da ganz langsam ranrollen und schau mir rechtzeitig an, ob das klappt
oder nicht. Nein, ich hab da kein Mitleid.

Beschimpfungen bitte per PM.

mal ne Frage: die üblichen Raucherbereiche auf deutschen Bahnhöfen:
wie würde ich die nach diesem Schema taggen? Diese gelben Zonen, die
entweder innen oder aussen, normalerweise aber nicht abgetrennt (also
nicht separated) sind.

 Du willst damit jetzt sagen, daß man als Führer eines Sattelzuges nicht
 darauf achten muß, wo man hinfährt? ;-)

 Ich hab jahrelang u.a. Transporte bis 25,5m Länge unter sehr beengten
 Verhältnissen auf Baustellen eingewiesen, da lernt man sehr schnell,
 was der Fahrer sieht oder auch nicht.

 Dann weisst Du aber auch, dass nicht die hier kolportiertierten 
 Geschichten (Navi sagt: Jetzt links abbiegen. Frau fährt mit Auto in 
 den Fluss) das Problem darstellen, wenn Sattelzüge (oder meinetwegen 
 auch Kleintransporter mit Doppelachs-Anhängern) in die Bedrouille geraten.

Hier in der Gegend sind nur die LKW ein Problem, die dem PKW- Navi
nachfahren und Zeichen 110-58 mit der Angabe 20% in Verbindung
mit Zeichen 253 ignorieren.

Navis für LKW routen gar nicht über solche Strecken, wenn man die
Daten des LKW/Zuges richtig eingibt.

 Früher haben die Fahrer sich einfach kaum von den Hauptstraßen 
 heruntergetraut und sind strikt Nach vorher aufgeschriebener Route 
 gefahren.
 Heute hat jeder ein Navi und die Fahrer werden wagemutiger.

Bingo. Die sparen sich aber gerne das Geld für ein ihrem Fahrzeug
angepaßtem Navi und nehmen das nächste Billigangebot aus dem
Blödmarkt. Daß ein 40-Tonner dann doch etwas anderes als ein PKW
ist, merken manche erst, wenn sie festhängen.

 Und wenn dann die Gemeinde dann noch (für heutige Verhältnisse) 
 unzureichend beschildert hat (Durchfahrtsbreitenprobleme nicht 
 rechtzeitig vorher angeschlagen, fehlende Wendemöglichkeiten nicht 
 angekündigt), dann gibt's eben (fast) feststeckende Fahrer, die zu 
 Verkehrsbehinderungen und Anwohnerstörungen führen.

Ich bleib dabei: viele Probleme entstehen auch dadurch, daß immer
mehr beim Fahren das Denken nicht auf die Situation vor sich lenken
und damit über kurz oder lang auf die Nase fallen.
Sieht eng aus, wird schon passen. Und dann mit 60km/h durch ein
enges Sträßchen, weil man ja unter Zeitdruck steht. Nach dem Rums
haben die auf einmal viel Zeit.

 Meiner Meinung wird das dem normalsterblichen Nutzer i.d.r ausreichen.
 Klar ist es nicht perfekt, aber besser, als gar keine Suchfunktion.

die Lösung, die derzeit dort läuft (Auswahl per Drop-Down je
Anfangsbuchstabe) ist m.E. für den gewünschten Anwendungsfall besser
geeignet, weil automatisch nur Straßen des Ortes auftauchen und
Tippfehler von vornherein ausgeschlossen werden.

Re: [Talk-de] Mal wieder: Blaues Meer und mkgmap; Karten für Garmins

2010-02-21 Thread Daniela Duerbeck
Nun ein Selbstkommentar:

Ich hab mich inzwischen in die mkgmap-dev-Liste eingetragen und bin ein wenig 
schlauer.
Allerdings noch nicht schlau genug, um damit auf Basis der All-in-one-Map 
selber eine funktionierende Karte zu erzeugen.

Es gibt für einen Anfänger wie mich einfach zuviel zu beachten.
Man muß Anpassungen im TYP-File machen und in den style files bzgl. der 
Polygone.

Was mich nun interessieren würde, ist, ob es eine zentrale Stelle gibt, wo 
Leute ihre Typ-files nebst styles hochladen können?

Eigentlich wäre der typfile-Editor dieser Punkt, wenn man nur sagen könnte, 
dass die auch sichtbar für andere User sein sollen.

Viele Grüße von Dani
