I've been testing it myself and usability has improved tremendously. On my wishlist: * Enhance imagery tiles like JOSM does, instead of showing there is no imagery at relatively high zoom (the amount of zoom needed to do useful editing on a 7 screen). * support for relations I wish I were capable enough to help with the coding myself.

I think the undo item is still showing in the ActionBar even when nothing is to be undone. This prevents the more important GPS item from showing prominently. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
[OSM-dev] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: FOSDEM calls for devroom organizers and main track speakers
Would OSM folks be interested in being part of a devroom at FOSDEM? It could make sense to partner with the Wikimedia folks? Who typically handles stuff like this?

Re: [OSM-dev] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: FOSDEM calls for devroom organizers and main track speakers
I'm adding talk-be to this discussion. I'm living 30km from Brussels, so I can easily come to help with a stand or a dev room. Last year I helped out at the Openstreetmap stand and there was definitely an interest in the project. Do you see a stand in a dev room as some sort of mapping party or an actual effort to create/discuss code of editors/renderers/PostGIS and the like?

Re: [OSM-dev] [GSoC] Improvements to Vespucci
Hi Jan, First of all, well done for all the work you've put into Vespucci. It's been a long time since I've done anything with Vespucci (or OSM in general, really) and you've certainly added quite a few nice things (and squished some bugs along the way). Now that the OSM license change redaction has passed, there's quite a bit of field work to do - retrace roads and capture names for starters. I've just installed a very recent Vespucci build of yours (downloaded today) and tried it out. It looks very nice and I like the action bar support, but I did note some issues: 1. The GPS location isn't showing up. 2. The tag editor preset system does not check for pre-existing key/value pairs, so you can end up with duplicates. Also, while I like the new X to delete key/values in the tag editor, it has exacerbated the lack of space for the actual editable fields to the point where they're getting a bit difficult to use. I'm beginning to think that the tag editor needs a bit of a re-work to behave in a more Android way. I'll need to think about it but perhaps get rid of the static Key and Value text items and change each line so that it has the X, and a clickable key:value text that pops up a new editor (maybe a whole new activity) that just edits that pair. Where there is currently two blank fields would change to an Add button. If I have time I'll try something myself. In any case, I'm looking forward to giving the new Vespucci a proper field test! Thanks again for your work. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

And it's unclear what the real expected result is. At the moment the .wkt and the .wkb files contain exactly the same geometry so you can either compare against the .wkb or the .wkt file. They may only get out of sync when people change the expected result and forget to change both files, but I think this is a rare case that we can then solve from commit history. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/New-OGR-driver-to-read-OpenStreetMap-osm-pbf-files-tp5715906p5720533.html Sent from the Developer Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
[OSM-dev] [GSoC] Improvements to Vespucci
Hi, I follow with interest the improvements currently made on Vespucci. I did not have yet the opportunity to test it (see second part of my email) but will happen soon. I would like to know what are for you be the still missing functions in Vespucci in comparison with a classic GPS devices+paper forms+Walking paper. On the humanitarian and development field, we may use specific presets; I think I read Vespucci is now able to import specific ones, but is there some limitation to this? Otherwise (this is the second part I announced), which devices fit well with Vespucci among cheap but nonetheless GPS accurate ones? So far, we have tested on the field low profile devices like the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini (only a 2.6 screen) or Samsung 8600.
