OK, you're right: 60 BPH i
I agree that absolute novices unfamiliar with OSM are not what we might call
"an ideal candidate," for BC2020i but it certainly has been and can be done.
That said, "coming with Java preloaded" is a certain kind of "trigger warning"
that "you have to be this tall to ride the ride." That's sort
Buildings Canada?
I was involved with something in Ottawa. I deliberately used JOSM and the
building tool plugin. It went very smoothly and a fair number of buildings
were accurately mapped. The mappers were requested to come with JAVA
preinstalled. I had two laptops set up that new mappers co
Looking for anyone who has done a BC2020i mapathon event with high school
students. We are hoping to run one in Niagara, Durham and Northumberland
regions this winter/spring.

There are obviously "deep thoughts" going on regarding how OSM can document and
provide better geo data, routing and maps for Canadian cyclists: my hat is off
to the serious "front-loading" going on here and I wish to encourage it so that
it may flourish.
Simulta
But it doesn't address traffic volumes or speed limits. Should we tag
speed limits?

The SOTM presentation was interesting. Especially the bit about the 5% who
would cycle anyway and these are often the people who are asked about what
should be done to improve things for cyclists. Are we asking the wrong
people?
I think we need to identify what tags would be useful for routing p

Hi John,
After talking to many different folks about what their requirements
are for a cycling map, it is clear to me that the cycling routing
algorithm requires user-configurable tuning parameters. People have
different requirements at different times: from "find a nice path for
a 6 year o

Thanks for the link to that page, Jame
Perhaps what we need is a way to tag cycle friendly streets. Typically
I'll use a mixture of minor side streets and paths when using the trike.
So I'd prefer a routing that used these as much as possible rather than
more major collector roads and you can't always determine from the speed
limit if
