 Based on the changeset info they appear to be based on the low-res yahoo

 They don't really match up with the iMMAP data very well.
 Initially I was trying to merge them in, adding nodes at intersections

 What does everyone else think?

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Nav4All navigation shut down by Navteq

2010-02-02 Thread Philip Homburg
 All this is true, but I think we are too concentrated on generating
 content (i.e. mapping) as opposed to actually using this data for some
 meaningful purpose. I guess this is natural, since majority of OSM users
 are mostly map data producers, and only the minority is actively
 involved in map consuming.

 It is right that we are all concentrating on creation of content.  But,
what we haven't had yet is any commercial map data consumers  telling us
what they need.  Well, in a way, maybe Nav4All is telling us what it
needs... and I sometimes hear Cloudmade banging on about routing.

It would be interesting to have some map consumer tell us what their minimum
mapping needs.  Statements like OSM has been looked at but is no solution
because there is no full coverage don't help us to provide what they need.

While mappers might be uncomfortable to mark out an area and tag it with
ok_for_Nav4All=yes, I think I would be happy to mark out areas with
road_network=complete and cycle_network=complete, based on some definition
provided by someone who would actually use that information.

I think one of the hardest parts of OSM is that the world is very
heterogeneous. You see that in the discussions about cyclepaths, you that in
software that using doesn't quite do what is locally expected (or needed),
and of course the quality of the data varies wildly.

So, I can only speak for what I see here in .nl. And that is quite good.
Whether is is yournavigation (based on gosmore), andnav2, or a Garmin gps,
I can expect to get where I want to be, both by car and by bike, and with a
reasonable route.

Of course, 'we' got lucky, and got most of the road network from AND, but that
doesn't include cycle paths, and it is not often that I come across one that
is missing.

But the main point is that from a tagging point of view, all of this is not
very hard. There are not that many tags you really need for a road network,
there are validators to help you clean up intersections, but the main thing
is to get out there and try to navigate using OSM data.

I think it is pity that nav4all doesn't want to OSM because you do need the
eyeballs get it right. 

In my experience, OSM data worthless until you use it for something. If all
you do is make pretty maps, you will never get what you need for navigation,
because you won't spot the bugs.

So, if we want to 'sell' OSM as suitable for navigation, then 'we' have to go
out and use it for that purpose,

2010-02-02 Thread Roland Olbricht
Hi,

 You make this sound as if this is about the freedom of the new mappers.
 But they are, even today, free to follow any ruleset, cheatsheet, or
 book that they want to use. It's just that they don't get a guarantee
 that everyone else is using the same ruleset but that's ok - there might
 be rulesets much too complex for a newcomer, or the newcomer ruleset for
 rural Peru might be different from the one for urban Japan. Trying to
 make them all the same will needlessly reduce OSM's richness. These
 rulesets are unlikely to be devised by the same body; it would be too
 complex and the result would be less than optimal for everyone involved.

We could have support for local tagging guides in a future version of the 
database without much effort. See
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.7#Classes

This would allow an editor to suggest tagging schemes with respect to the area 
where the mapping takes place. Mappers can explicitly tell what their tagging 
means. The advantage over hard-coded click-buttons is that it can be used 
across different editors. The advantage over the wiki is that it is maintained 
by those who really map. If different mappers want to use slightly and subtle 
different tagging schemes, they just can do without rants. But a simple 
postprocessing server can for any defined purpose still automatically derive a 
consistent tagging.

Thus we could have rules to check minimum data quality without forcing the 
would into a overly complex, ill-fitting tagging scheme.

Cheers,

Roland

[OSM-talk] Query for [osm:user=XYZ] gone in XAPI V0.6?

 Interesting. I think that could also be spun positively ;-) It means 
 people in the industry are starting to take OSM seriously and actually 
 invest money to evaluate how far it has come and be prepared for when it 
 does reach a sufficient quality or need to quickly switch. It also means 
 they must have had some confidence in that the process of crowd sourcing 
 map data can work. 
 
That's not quite the way they put it. They evaluated it in order not to miss
a major development there, but concluded that it is no alternative and
dropped the idea of using it for good.

 Again I would agree with you that geometry is good

 the majority of cases they are missing and seldomly wrong. So it just 
 needs a lot more mappers and some time and that should be achievable too.
 Without knowing the company and any more of what they concluded I 
 obviously can't say if the above statement is true for your example. But 
 I have at least been peripherally involved with writing the turn-by-turn 
   routing support of GpsMid that is based on OSM data and in my limited 
 testing, the routes it found in high coverage areas, were not really 
 worse than those found by a TomTom or Navigon that I had for comparison. 
 Each had parts where it was better and worse than the others. So I do 
 think it would be possible to make good routing from OSM, given good 
 (commercial?) software.
 
I guess this boils down to a matter of personal conviction. As long as we
are using the same tag with three or more different meanings, I hold that
there is no way to make decent conclusions from that. And I do not see a
positive tendency, in my field of intereset I have now observed 14 months of
repetitive discussion with zero progress towards any sort of cohesion.

 Different approaches - different results. Not worse or better; different.
 

Yes, I agree with it that those are very different things. That's the reason

 Hmmm, a lot of the mappers I was talking to told me that it was a burden

 Seems a lot of mappers would be quite happy to follow an at least more 
 fixed tagging scheme than what we currently have today.
 

I have heard the same from many new mappers. Initially people *expect* that
there was a fixed tagging scheme for most common things. They are asking for
a simple way to find the right tag.

It becomes rather disillusioning when they find out how things really are.
Most do not want to search wikis, read through discussion backlogs, design
new tags, decide between contradictive tool presets, join meta discussions
about the meaning of voting, ask questions about contradictions in wiki
contents.

Most simply want to map and would find a finished catalogue with a single
tagging scheme a huge improvement.

 The problem with this is the sofixit response.

 No it's a different kind of problem.  More like the gratification from
seeing something rendered.  If there's a nice rendering for embankments and
cuttings then people will tag them, if there's no rendering then they won't
get tagged.

If you knew that your city's map would be used by Flikr once it reached a
certain standard then you'd probably be more motivated to reach that
standard.

So if a commercial company says what their standards are, then this will
motivate some people to reach for these.

 OSM works like many other open-source projects, where someone says: Hey, X
 is
 bad - and a developer replies Yeah, and this is open source, so fix it.

 The OSM community works the same way. I'm not going to work for a company
 just
 because they ask for it very nicely. Dammit, if a company wants me to fix
 OSM
 in some way, I could as well get paid for that!

 Maybe the time is coming for the business model in where I get OSM data,
 fork
 it, fix it in some way, and stamp a certified technicial-approved version
 on the cover. For just a couple grand.


 You want OSM to comply with certain quality standards? Well, either invest
 in
 that, or pay for that. But it's not gonna magically come from the users.

In contrast to that, it is my believe that it would make mapping more

A consistent, easy-to-use set of tags would spare mappers from spending time
trying to figure out how to do something that has been figured out many

Instead mappers would be free to simply do what they enjoy - mapping.

 cycleway icon(s) in their editor and tick the appropriate options, and the
 editor will invisibly sort the tags out.
 

Is there any initiative to make sure the different editors use the same tags
for the same thing? If so, I missed it completely.

Not formally, but certainly when deciding which presets to use in Potlatch
I'll look at the other editor presets; at tools like OSMdoc and Tagwatch;
and at the Mapnik stylesheet. IME the editors and Mapnik tend to share a
fairly common core of tags whereas the wiki can be a bit out there.
Someone came up with a useful comparison chart recently but, haha, it's on
our embarrassment of a wiki so forget any chances of finding that again.

I will confess to being very disappointed that JOSM has now adopted the
retarded why-use-one-tag-when-eighty-three-will-do cycleway scheme.

 Instead mappers would be free to simply do what they enjoy - mapping. 

I like your optimism. But people do genuinely appear to enjoy wiki-fiddling,
too. Sadly.

 A consistent, easy-to-use set of tags would spare mappers from spending time

 times before or which contradictive information to follow.
   
As I map a road I've not visited before, I don't consider using  
highway=street_with_houses, I add highway=residential . If I see a road 
sign with a speed limit I add maxspeed=30mph, not 
restriction:speed=30mph or legal_constraint_on_speed=30mph. I don't 
agonise over the tag to use to label the plaque that describes the title 
of the street allocated by the council, I just add a name=* tag.  All of 
this is listed on a single page in the wiki - it's even printed on a 
mug! Why is this so hard?
 Instead mappers would be free to simply do what they enjoy - mapping.
   
If you have a fixed list then suddenly this enjoyable mapping experience 
becomes a frustrating battle when someone sees something that they want 
to add but it's not in the list, so it can't be added.

2010-02-02 Thread Martin Koppenhoefer
2010/2/2 NopMap ekkeh...@gmx.de:
 It becomes rather disillusioning when they find out how things really are.
 Most do not want to search wikis, read through discussion backlogs, design
 new tags, decide between contradictive tool presets, join meta discussions
 about the meaning of voting, ask questions about contradictions in wiki
 contents.

 Most simply want to map and would find a finished catalogue with a single
 tagging scheme a huge improvement.

I read very often about this, and am asking myself: why is noone
proposing / offering such a catalogue? It would be simple as that: set
up a catalogue with all your definitions and publish it for newbies to
be used. Oh, and update it say on a daily basis ;-)

I find that things are improving generally (while some might have
become worse). Slowly the wiki seems to get better, more keys get
documented, etc.

IMHO the problem with documentation is like Liz pointed out: you have
to create a proposal, look for cryptic Wiki-code-patterns, stick to
dates for RFC, voting, etc., discuss your proposal with many critics,
copy the proposal to features if everything went well: it's a lot of
work for every single feature and in the end most of talk will laugh
at you and tell you: nice you got this feature voted upon, but votings
don't matter, and btw: there were only 30 people voting out of 20,
the vote is pointless. You will not do this for more than a handfull
of features.

If I come across some weird (and mostly contradictic definitions) in
the wiki, I sometimes try to correct the situation (if it's not one of
the classical unsolved cases that I know of). If after every
discussion on one of the mailing-list the conclusion would be
transfered to the wiki, most features would probably have standard
tags to rely on.

cheers,
Martin

might be partially true, but by discriminating everybody who tries to

to set up new pages for new features on the wiki as often as they can,

 The inclusion of section C without any media type is overwriting parts

 Anyway, it's a problem, and hopefully this will help one of the devs

[OSM-talk] Playing tagging democracy: standard building process and tag unifying towards it

2010-02-02 Thread Jochen Plumeyer
Hello everyone,

I am new to the OSM community, sorry if my suggestions are totally naïve.

Fact: The collective end product is rendered somehow, and the renderer 
stylesheets decide, how to interprete tags.

So it seems to me, that creating 2 things is necessary:

1.: We need a process of negotiation about tag rendering standards. (i.e., 
between the people who write the Mapnik stylesheet and the others who want to 
see their tags rendered in a certain way). This process perhaps should not 
block or dominate the communication of the whole OSM workers.
This decision making process can be collective or representative, by a 
elected group of people.
Meta decisions:
I think the implementation of the decision making process should be a 
collective process.

Could be an interesting challenge to create good democratic structures by an 
online community.

2.: Tag babelfish: the most important idioms in tag creation should be unified 
by a program. Perhaps this is already the case?
The tag babelfish rules should be documented in a systematic way, with the 
opportunity of every tagging religion to explain their beliefs.

How does that sound?

Cheers,

Jochen

You made an excellent statement I completely agree with! For a lot of 
us, the fun comes in when you can take this pile of beautiful and divers 
geodata and create your own map styles. You can even create maps of 
specific objects and types.

Jochen;

Consider looking at the beatiful maps that you can style too at 
http://maps.cloudmade.com/ they give an excellent example of what could 
be done with maps if you put some effort in it.

Good luck and as a newcomer, have fun in the openstreetmap community!

 The inclusion of section C without any media type is overwriting parts

 work.

 Anyway, it's a problem, and hopefully this will help one of the devs

Re: [OSM-talk] can't print from wiki

2010-02-02 Thread Milo van der Linden
For me the parameter works partially for the specific page you mentioned:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Guide?printable=yes

Because this page contains tabs, you won't be able to print the content 
of the hidden tabs

You can get the individual tabs printable by adding the parameter, for 
instance:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Basic_editing?printable=yes

Another option would be to move the JOSM guide to wikibooks.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Main_Page

wikibooks uses as slightly different way of wiki-tagging, but it also 
gives you the possibility to assign individual pages to a book and print 
the complete book or let wikibooks create a pdf for us.

I know this is a lot of work, but it would not be a bad thing for 
something as basic as a josm manual. Of course you would then have to 
move the josm manual pages away from the openstreetmap to prevent double 
work.

Re: [OSM-talk] can't print from wiki

2010-02-02 Thread Margie Roswell
today I was trying to print the xapi documentation.

I haven't printed it, but when I look in preview (same with the JOSM
documentation) things are cut off just as they were before, both with
and without the printable parameter.

I'm not enthusiastic about moving everything over to a different site
to be able to print it.

In any case, who has access to the backend of the

addressed?

ps: wikibooks does look intriguing. Maybe we should do both.. move
some over there... but please, can whoever has access to the osm wiki

 scheme.
 So you seriously think highway=cycleway is all that's needed 
 to describe the various flavours of cycleways worldwide? If so,
 I'd be personally interested to hear your definition of a 
 cycleway.

No, of course I don't. 

OSM tagging has traditionally worked by identifying fairly significant
objects. This is a chemist, this is a trunk road, this is a canal. This is
a farm, this is a railway station, this is a cycleway. 

Each object contains a fair amount of meaning. This is a railway station, so
it's open to passengers, trains call here, you can wait at it until your
train turns up. This is a chemist, so it's a type of shop, you can buy
medical goods at it.

The mapper can, of course, add extra tags to make the definition more
precise. So, with the chemist, you might add opening hours if it's an
all-night chemist. With the railway station, you might add an
'access=private' tag if it's, say, a military railway station (we have one
of those near Bicester, UK) or a private one (we have one in Scotland called
simply 'IBM' :) ). And so on. In true OSM fashion, this is often iterative.
You add the basic tag first, then you go back later and refine it.

This approach is because, since mappers are our most valuable resource, we
optimise for ease of growing the map. The data consumer is expected to
postprocess, which of course they'll be doing anyway (rendering, generating
routing database, extracting and reformatting as a gazetteer, whatever). But
they only need to do the postprocessing they want. A renderer may choose not
to care that some chemists are 24 hours, and will show them all with the
same icon. A train simulator certainly won't care about that and may well
not care about the private stations - hey, the driver still stops there. And
so on.

Essentially, you tag according to the duck test - if it quacks like a
duck, looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's a duck
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test). This saves you all the work of
describing the species every time. If actually it's a rare Outer Hebridean
Florglenood which isn't quite a duck though looks and behaves identically,
hell, you just do wildfowl=duck, species=florglenood.

'highway=cycleway' is just like this. It's a meaningful object. It means a
path with physical characteristics that can accommodate a bike, where bikes
and pedestrians are permitted, and motor traffic is banned. It means,
basically, that it quacks like a cycleway. This saves a whole bunch of
tagging work, and means that clients don't need to care about the details if
they don't want to. But again, if you want to refine it, you can. You can
have 'highway=cycleway; foot=no' if that's the case.

The 'path=' tag turns OSM tagging on its head. It's a largely meaningless
object. It shifts the burden onto the mapper, who has to start with four
tags where one was enough. It makes it more difficult for, say, a renderer
which now has to parse these four tags, rather than one, to know how to draw
it. This isn't how we talk about ducks, it isn't how we tag railway
stations, chemists, trunk roads or farms, and it shouldn't be how we tag
cycleways.

 What's with the wiki-fiddler hatred? (not just you, Richard, in
 general) All those people advocating for a consistent/enforced/
 limited tagging scheme - how do you think such a scheme should 
 be produced? Wiki-fiddlers (meaning those who use and edit 
 the wiki) are the primary people who are aiming to document 
 the meanings of tags and develop a more consistent tagging 
 scheme...If you've got a problem with the definition of 
 highway=cycleway, why not stop complaining about wiki-
 fiddlers and contribute!:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Consolidation_footway_cycleway_path

May I refer the honourable gentleman to my answer of one year and three days
ago:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2009-January/033638.html

(The tl;dr version: there are much better ways of crowdsourcing tag
definitions than a MediaWiki install with no relation to the map database.)

Harry's talk from last year's SOTM (community smoothness) is also worth
watching.

cheers
Richard

I also experience that with pages which don't contain any tabs or other

 this is listed on a single page in the wiki - it's even printed on a
 mug! Why is this so hard?

You're all right when it comes to common stuff, that's documented in Map 
Features and may already exist in the presets of JOSM/Potlatch. But 
that's the easy part.

The hassle begins, when you come to a topic where this isn't the case.

You're lucky if you find exactly one wiki page about what you're 
searching for and when it's not widely disputed.

If you're unlucky, you'll find three wiki pages for slightly the same 
topic that has lot's of conflicting arguments.

As a grown up mapper you may already got a feeling what seems to be a 
good idea and what has serious drawbacks - take the infos and go on mapping.

As a newbie you're completely doomed now and feeling unsafe what to 
do. Several newbies told me, that they didn't add something to OSM 
because they were feeling completely unsafe about the right way to do 
it, although they had all the local infos :-(

 Instead mappers would be free to simply do what they enjoy - mapping.

 If you have a fixed list then suddenly this enjoyable mapping experience
 becomes a frustrating battle when someone sees something that they want
 to add but it's not in the list, so it can't be added.

That's maybe the biggest missunderstanding here. This is NOT about 
closing up the tag set so you can't enter new tags.

For me, this is how to get to a wider set of tags that most will agree 
upon - and how to get there easier and faster than the way we are doing 
it today.

There is already a fixed set of tags as you've written yourself. You 
won't use highway=street_with_houses instead of highway=residential - 
almost 99.% of OSMer will agree here.

Getting to this agreement currently takes ages.

Question is: Can we improve this or is there no better way as the slow 
progression we have today?

There is no backend to the site (well not that should need to be

mediawiki stylesheets (which are supplied as part of mediawiki and 
shouldn't be altered) or from specially named pages in the wiki.

It may just be that there is an issue with the (fairly old) version of 
mediawiki we are running, in which case it will get resolved shortly 
when we move to the new server as mediawiki will be upgraded at that point.

I don't know how this has changed over time, but the current version of

Dedicated cycleway = highway=cycleway

Segregated foot- and cycleway[*] = 
highway=path,foot=designated,bicycle=designated,segregated=yes

Combined foot- and cycleway = 
highway=path,foot=designated,bicycle=designated

That corresponds to the German signage

I don't know how one is supposed to tag a way that is suitable for 
cycles and pedestrians but does *not* have the above signs; I tend to 
use highway=cycleway for those as well, which then upsets the horse 
riders because if there are no signs then, in Germany, that implies 
horse=yes whereas something with one of the blue signs above 
automatically means horse=no.

I'm just offering that as an explanation, I don't really want to discuss 
it in breadth but you're welcome to fire up your Babelfish for a night

Speaking of talk-de - you English don't do that language compression

 The hassle begins, when you come to a topic where this isn't the case.

But this thread started with people complaining about lack of commercial 
usability because of tagging mayhem (Nic's term). Although I share 
Ivan's sentiment (producing something commercially usable should not be 
our #1 goal), maybe we can stick with that for a moment - let us try and 
find out what data the commercial providers have and which is *not* on 
one simple Wiki page (or a mug).

It can't be the murky details of cycleways and bridleways because the 
commercial providers don't have that, or if they have it then only in 
selected areas. It can't be highway=path and all that because they don't 
have it. It can't be - in my opinion! - the top highway types from 
motorway down to residential because they aren't any better in that than 
we are (or are they).

It could be turn restrictions; I agree that an easy editor for those is 
required - but while the tagging rules are a bit complex for turn 
restrictions, they are not mayhem - they are perfectly clear.

So where is it that

1. the commercial providers have good data
2. OSM hasn't and
3. the reason for OSM not having it is not lack of coverage but lack of 
consensus regarding tagging?

Fixed tagging rules are not needed to lower the learning curve. I have 
the highest regard for someone who sits down and writes a tutorial for 
newcomers. My skepticism comes from seeing too many people whine about 
the lack of fixed tagging rules (oh so difficult for the poor

 But that's the easy part.

 The hassle begins, when you come to a topic where this isn't the case.

 But this thread started with people complaining about lack of commercial
 usability because of tagging mayhem (Nic's term). Although I share
 Ivan's sentiment (producing something commercially usable should not be
 our #1 goal), maybe we can stick with that for a moment - let us try and
 find out what data the commercial providers have and which is *not* on
 one simple Wiki page (or a mug).

 It can't be the murky details of cycleways and bridleways because the
 commercial providers don't have that, or if they have it then only in
 selected areas. It can't be highway=path and all that because they don't
 have it. It can't be - in my opinion! - the top highway types from
 motorway down to residential because they aren't any better in that than
 we are (or are they).

 It could be turn restrictions; I agree that an easy editor for those is
 required - but while the tagging rules are a bit complex for turn
 restrictions, they are not mayhem - they are perfectly clear.

 So where is it that

 1. the commercial providers have good data
 2. OSM hasn't and
 3. the reason for OSM not having it is not lack of coverage but lack of
 consensus regarding tagging?

Chris argument was about the none existing problems of tag finding 
and I was responding to that.

Your argument is about what the commercial providers have definitions 
that we lack of. As far as I know that definitions, I agree with you 
that there's no real problem for us :-)

 There is no backend to the site (well not that should need to be
 edited anyway). The style information all comes either from the standard
 mediawiki stylesheets (which are supplied as part of mediawiki and
 shouldn't be altered) or from specially named pages in the wiki.

 It may just be that there is an issue with the (fairly old) version of
 mediawiki we are running, in which case it will get resolved shortly
 when we move to the new server as mediawiki will be upgraded at that point.

If you want to help newcomers, then make a list of features that are

together with the fact that of course every map is different and just 
because a pub shows up on z16 on a certain map doesn't mean a restaurant

What is so hard about this? Why do you think it means a steeper than

Forgive me for jumping in...but I think the hard part is to write a
nice tutorial explaining them, based on what is on the wiki.

The wiki is imperfect, and if it were easy to write nice
explanations for all rendered tags, then those nice explanations
would probably already be on the wiki, and the tutorial wouldn't be
necessary...

So, unless we want to defer to some higher power (???) to tell us what
to tag, we need to step up and fix the situation ourselves. What's so
hard about that? (:P)

Re: [OSM-talk] Tagging Multiple Services to a Company/Building

2010-02-02 Thread Ian Mc Shane
Hello Roy,

 private banking services
 private_banking_services=yes

 foreign exchange
 foreign_exchange=yes

 tanning
 tanning=yes

 massage?
 massage=yes

Yes that would do the job... I asked a friend of mine what his thoughts were 
and following are the results of our debate.

Note that I am straying from the original question to a more high level view 
of the situation and breaking it up into two sections:
1)  Do you want all that detail?
2)  Assuming yes, how to denote the detail


1)  Do you want all that detail?

The first thing brought up was is that level of detail applicable to OSM?

It was a bit of a yes and no answer, in that OSM, IMHO, has a function 
beyond mapping, and that is to describe the map.  Describing a business and 
their products may be a little too much vs. just noting that they exist and 
they are in that building.

The extra detail is probably more applicable to a higher level system which 
is geared towards the detail requested.

For example a town/suburb website using OSM data for geo-location of 
businesses in the area would have their own database of what each business 
provides in terms of services and products...

This can be noted in an example such as a Delicatessen... they range from 
small subset of specific foods to a whole range of different products but we 
can't detail what they sell categorically as product categories can change 
rapidly.

So how much detail, is too much detail is the crux of it...  and I suppose 
the crux of my original question.


2)  Assuming yes, how to denote the detail:

Let us assume we want the detail, how would we add the tags?  While I do 
like what you suggested, an issue comes about when trying to work with the 
OSM data in your own backyard and/or rendering.

The issue is with the grouping of the associated meta-data about the 
POI/building [entity].

For instance, tanning=yes, does that mean a spa provides tanning services or 
is it related to a factory that tans leather?
The only way to find out is to hope that the name or the other tags on 
entity provide us with some more detail.

shop=beauty
tanning=yes

amenity=factory
tanning=yes

Unfortunately an individual can not rely on the name to help out with 
understanding what the entity is when the name is in a language you have no 
concept of.  And for me that is every other language besides Afrikaans and 
English...  So for me to make use of data created by users in a foreign 
country I will likely have issues deriving what exactly the entity is when 
doing post-processing of OSM data.

With all that said, going the route of:
shop=beauty
beauty=tanning
beauty=massage
etc.

will help in identifying what type of tanning I am getting myself into... 
This may even help with the renderers, but considering I have no real 
knowledge of what is potting on the renderer side I won't comment any more 
on that.

Anyway, this was supposed to be a short reply... so I will stop now.  Please 
let me know on your thoughts.


Ian

So does the road network :P Put it in OSM if:
1) it refers to a specific latitude and longitude
2) it's a verifiable fact
3) you want to

Whether or not it's likely to go out of date quickly is not relevant -
it just means we need more mappers...

 2)  Assuming yes, how to denote the detail:

 For instance, tanning=yes, does that mean a spa provides tanning services or
 is it related to a factory that tans leather?

Well...before you decide to use tanning=yes, check if it's already
used (tagwatch, wiki, etc.).
If not, go ahead and use it - and document your use of it on the wiki.
If someone comes along later to tag a factory, they'll need to choose
their tag carefully, and update the documentation accordingly.

Basically - for tag definitions, rely on the wiki.

 With all that said, going the route of:
 shop=beauty
 beauty=tanning
 beauty=massage
 etc.

The problem is that you can only have one value per key, i.e. you
could only have beauty=tanning OR beauty=massage.

An alternative is to use something like a namespace concept. Have a
look at how to tag amenity=parking's:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parking.  Notice the tags
capacity:disabled=*, capacity:parent=*, etc.

If you want to use this kind of scheme for the beauty example, I guess
you could probably use:
shop=beauty
beauty:tanning=yes
beauty:massage=yes
etc.

But this probably isn't necessary in this case. I'd be happy either
way, as long as it's documented on the wiki... :)

2010/2/2 Richard Fairhurst rich...@systemed.net:
 Essentially, you tag according to the duck test - if it quacks like a
 duck, looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's a duck
 'highway=cycleway' is just like this. It's a meaningful object.
 It means a
 path with physical characteristics that can accommodate a bike, where bikes
 and pedestrians are permitted, and motor traffic is banned.


this is valid for England and maybe Scotland and Wales (and probably
some other countries), but it is not working on a worldwide basis.
Your definition would in most of central Europe not be functioning:
routers would lead pedestrians in areas where they are not allowed to
walk (cycleways). Nobody would tag them with foot=no because it's
obvious ;-) that you can't walk there. foot=yes would be the
exception.

When you write about meaning you should keep in mind that what seems
obvious for you isn't for someone with a different background, but he
might rather think that the opposite is obvious.

 they don't want to. But again, if you want to refine it, you can. You can
 have 'highway=cycleway; foot=no' if that's the case.

don't tag redundant stuff, just highway=cycleway; foot=yes would be
worth a second tag...

Actually I wasn't writing about the best way to tag cycleways.

I think this approach (turning x=tag into tag=yes) is problematic, due
to the sheer number of tags it makes possible. Pretty soon there will
be a semantic clash between an existing key, and an existing value. I
don't know, a power company will go from office=power to power=yes or

[OSM-talk-nl] detail omgeving oldenzaal

2010-02-02 Thread Michiel Faber
Hallo,

Net keek ik toevallig op de kaart in de omgeving Oldenzaal.
De kaart daar is echt super! Hoe nauwkeurig hij is, weet ik niet, maar 
dat het grondgebruik ook gemapped is, is ongelofelijk.

Ik zou graag willen weten wie dat heeft gedaan en ook hoe.
Ik heb (hopelijke) komende 2 maanden weinig te doen en zou graag 2 
gebieden gedetailleerd willen mappen.
Een vraag is bijvoorbeeld of er ook perceelssloten en/of duikers 
gemapped zijn. Ik kan ze zo snel niet vinden, maar dat kan ook komen 
omdat er maar relatief weinig zijn.


Nogmaals, de kaart zier er daar super uit.

Groet,

This could have been an accident, not malicious damage.

When I was editing streets in my home suburb, mainly just adding in
street names, I needed to cut a street at a node because it changes its
name. Somewhere along the way, the street disappeared. When I edited it
(using Potlatch), the street was still there, but never showed up in
the rendered version. I tried making subtle changes to force it to save
the changes but to no avail. I eventually deleted the street entirely,
saved the change, and replaced the street (from Yahoo) a few hours
later. I suspect Potlatch may have some hidden bugs that only show up
under certain odd conditions.

I've done a lot of editing (in Potlatch and JOSM) since then, and have
never had the same problem. It could be that the problem only occurs
when you do a few small changes, save them and wait to see the result -
just the sort of thing a novice user would do.

I was cleaning up duplicated ways, and may have deleted too much in JOSM 
and then saved the result.

I suspect that the gap in the foot track at this location might be my 
doing: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-32.8991lon=116.1585zoom=14

How do I determine if there was a way there earlier in the day?

And if there was, how do I restore it?

I was adding a relation to cover the Bibbulmun Track when I came across 
an area with extensive duplication of ways, which I've been fixing as I 
go along.  I've been working from south (Albany) northwards (towards Perth).

I looked at the history, without it making much sense to me.  The 
changeset ID in question is 3779618.

I'm glad you raised this. This area really baffled me when I noticed
it a little while ago. I really didn't know how to resolve all the
duplication or how to approach the user in question - they have
obviously contributed a fair bit to the map but all the myid tags and
duplicated ways are odd.

As an example for the list:

The Muirs Highway has been duplicated (and upgraded to trunk which

Thanks heaps for that advice, which I've saved.

It turns out that there was nothing there anyway, which is a big sigh of 
relief.  But I did get the duplicates I deleted a little further south 
to show up again using this method.

I just tread very carefully in JOSM, tentatively deleting ways to see if 
there's another underneath, and restoring needed things again with ctrl-Z.

I remember once needing to delete about 6 duplicates until I got to the 
last one.

In the case of the Bibbulmun Track in this area, it gets complicated 
because the ends of the duplicated ways don't always coincide.

You don't need to delete something to see if there is a way
underneath, just select the mid point and shift it on the top way,
then hit ctrl+z if you need to undo the point creation/removal.

An excellent point, and a much neater way of managing things.

I've finished creating the Bibbulmun Track hiking route relation, and 
noted its existence in the Aus wiki.

There's a few gaps in it, but not many or far.

No caso do mkgmap, dá pra usá-lo com uma folha de estilos
personalizada, que mostre os pontos com controladores de velocidade
marcados com um ícone. Mas nada de alertas.

Para alertas, tem que ser (até onde sei) com o POI Loader. No meu
Mobile XT eu tenho insatalado a lista que tem disponível no
maparadar.com (que aliás é bem grande). Mas eu tive que usar o POI
Loader pra carregar.

Acredito que, se conseguirmos separar em um arquivo .osm apenas os
pontos com radares, dá pra criar um .csv importável pelo POI Loader.
Mas daí vamos ter que criar isto do zero.

moin,

der maßstab ergibt sich aus den min/max werten im osm file und der anzahl der 
pixel in der x achse, die man ja angeben kann.

alles aus dem file wird gerendert. ich habe auch schon drüber nachgedacht, nur 
teile zu rendern.
- einmal wollte ich ein paar pixel am rand weglassen, wegen unvollständiger 
wege und flächen. (wäre wohl einfach und gibt etwas overhead)
- und eben ausschnitte, wie von dir wohl gewünscht. ich glaube aber, hier wäre 
es am einfachsten, mal osmosis drüberlaufen zu lassen, weil sonst eben alles in 
die svg geschrieben wird, aber eben lange nicht alles angezeigt wird.

schau doch mal nach den useractivity datem bei haiti. setze dort statt png mal 
htm ein, dann gibt es ein paar details. aber die user zahl geht da glaube ich 
nicht hervor... du könntest aber in den pngs die kästchen zählen :-))

Betreff: [Talk-de] Logger im Selbstbau? (was: Logger gesucht)

 Was mich noch interessieren würde, ob jemand dem Modul RDR-3200 [1] 
 von Royaltek noch einen Microcontroller mit SD-Steckkartenplatz und 
 Batteriehalter für ein paar AA-Akkus ausgeben mag.

Wir sind an was aehnlichem [2] dran, das wird allerdings eine Nummer groesser
da hier eine Bedienung vorgesehen ist. Bei der Software gibt es aber sicher eine
Ueberschneidung - GPS-Empfaenger und microSD-Karte sind vorgesehen.

 
 Ja, man wird noch einen Step-Regler ausgeben müssen, denn das Ding 
 wirklich wohl wirklich 5V UB haben.

Bei uns: 3xAA mit Dual-Step-Up-Wandler nach 5V und 14V (Display) und
ein Low-Drop Linearregler fuer 3.3V.

 
 Was an dem Ding dann so toll wäre?
 Das Modul hat einen 3D-Gyro mit an Bord und einen Tacho-Eingang.
 Das sollte zumindest am Fahrrad ein gutes Dead-Reckoning ermöglichen, 
 solange das Modul am Rahmen (Rahmenvorbau) und nicht am Lenker befestigt 
 ist und vom Tacho mit Puls versorgt wird.
 Und auch wenn Empfang gut wird der Gyro -wenn ich die Doku richtig 
 verstanden habe- genutzt, die Genauigkeit zu verbessern.
 
 -jha-

Klingt interessant. Preispunkt fuer das Modul?

In den name-tag sollte der Name eingetragen werden, nicht

 In Anbetracht dieser Datenmenge wäre es vermutlich eine Überlegung wert,

  hi !
 
  haben jetzt Montag mittag -  aber kein Symbol.
 
  Hat mich auch schon gewundert und habe daraufhin Mitja angeschrieben.
  Laut ihm wurde der Updatevorgang zwar schon in der Nacht gestartet, aber
  läuft noch bis in den späten Nachmittag des Montags hinein.
  Spätestens morgen sollte also alles drin sein und der Vorgang
  abgeschlossen sein. ;-)
 
  hier nochmal der Link zum Objekt

 bhhh  - was wird da denn alles geschaufelt 
 
 mit einem tägl. updaten ist dann wohl nicht zu rechnen !
Bei einem täglichen Update wäre jedoch die jeweilige Datenmenge kleiner.
 
 gruß Jan :-)

Am Montag 01 Februar 2010 15:41:26 schrieb C. Brause:
 Vermutlich gibt es auch vorher noch zwei Fragen:
 1. Was soll die OLM anzeigen?/Welche Funktion hat sie? (Standardfrage)

 2. Was passiert, wenn die Links sich so häufen, dass sie sich
 gegenseitig überlagern und es unübersichtlich wird?
Dann wird es unübersichtlich :) Kleiner Spaß am Rande...
 
 Ich persönlich halte die OLM für eine Karte, die Funktionen hat, die in
 jede normale Karte im Netz gehört. Somit könnte man sie eigentlich,
 leicht überarbeitet, als Hauptkarte bei OSM übernehmen. (persönliche
 Meinung) Die Links dürften dann aber nur Zusatz und nicht Hauptfunktion
 sein.
Korrekt.
 
 Werden die Links zu unübersichtlichen Haufen, müssen sie sortiert oder
 Abgestuft werden. 
Ebenfalls korrekt.
 Lösungen, dass sich beim Anklicken sternförmig weitere
 Popups öffnen mag ich persönlich nicht.
Ist auch nicht so mein Ding, da man mehr klicken muss, und die Position 
eigentlich verfälscht wird, wenn benachbarte Punkte zu einem zusammengefasst 
werden.
 Und die Links nach Wichtigkeit
 zu sortieren um manche erst bei hohen Zoomstufen einzublenden, halte ich
 nichts von.
Grundsätzlich nicht schlecht, aber schwer realisierbar. In einer Großstadt ist 
ein Supermarkt völlig unbedeutend, aber in den Alpen und nur wenigen winzigen 
Dörfern hat ein Supermarkt fast schon eine regionale Bedeutung.
So etwas kann eine Software aber nur schwer bewerten.
 
 Aus welchem Grund besucht man die OLM? Noch um zu gucken ob es
 georeferenzierte Websites irgendwo gibt. Irgendwann, so stell ich mir
 das im Moment vor, besuche ich die Seite um zu gucken, ob ich nicht eben
 was über die eine oder andere Sehenswürdigkeit gibt, indem ich auf der
 Karte rumklicke. Einfach um mehr zu erfahren. 
Das war auch mein Grundgedanke bei der Karte:
man kann zu Dingen, die man auf der Karte sieht, einfach zu den passenden 
Informationen gelangen.
 Das geht doch am besten,
 wenn man mit der Maus über die Karte fährt und auf Objekte klicke, die
 mich interessieren. Dazu möchte ich diese auch sehen.
 Und alle anderen Links versperren doch quasi den Blick auf die restliche
 Karte, oder?
Meine neuesten Ideen gehen dahin, dass:
* Entweder die Marker ganz winzig angezeigt werden beim Überfahren vergrößert 
werden
* Oder überhaupt keine Marker angezeigt werden, und erst einer eingeblendet 
wird, wenn man auf der Karte mit dem Mauszeiger über ein Objekt mit solchen 
Daten fährt
 
 Ich hab grad das Gefühl, ich klinge irgendwie böse. Das solls aber
 garnicht. Ich find das Projekt echt toll und möchte es durch
 konstruktive Kritik unterstützen!
Ich finde kritische Leute immer sehr wichtig.
Mir sind User, die den jetzigen Zustand/Funktionsweise ihrer Software in Frage 
stellen, lieber, als Leute, die einfach das benutzen, was ihnen vorgesetzt 
wird.
 
 Liebe Grüße
 Christian

Hallo,

 Langversion ist sicher besser.
aber die Langform sollte sich nur auf Abkürzungen wie str. etc beziehen.
Eine
D.-Martin-Luther-Straße
sollte m.E. nicht plötzlich zur
Doktor-Martin-Luther-Straße

Re: [Talk-de] Osmarenders eingebaute pattern anpassen

2010-02-02 Thread Mirko Küster
 Wie du siehst, muss jeder SVG-Befehl mit svg: ergänzt werden. Um die
 gleiche Darstellungsgröße der Symbole mit der Füllung zu erreichen,
 muss der Wert [1] dem Wert [2] im Kopf der Style-Datei entsprechen:

Soweit war ich schon, hatte auch gepasst. Die Objekte waren aber in der 
Fläche verschoben und jeweils ansich falsch skalliert. Das habe ich jetzt 
soweit hinbekommen. Passt noch nicht ganz 100% (minimale Üperlappung im 
Subpixelbereich) aber für meine Zwecke reicht es so. Problem vorerst gelöst, 
danke.

Dann habe ich noch ein Problem. Momentan nutze ich die tilesAThome 
Konfiguration in der lokalen Variante. So generiert das ganze ja 
praktischerweise je ein ganzes svg und png pro Zoomstufe, splittet fertige 
Tiles für Openlayers und das ganze auch fertig optimiert. Damit hätte man 
interaktive und fast druckbare Variante erschlagen.

Nun kann man damit aber nur beispielsweise den Aufruf perl tilesGen.pl xy 
2173 1363 12 starten. Damit wählt man aber nur eine bestimmte Kachel auf 
dem Planeten an, die dann ihre Daten aus einem API Auruf zieht. Ich würde 
aber gerne die API umgehen und aus einem lokalen OSM File rendern. Ich 
möchte gerne die Höhenlinien und einige lokale Sachen mit einrendern. Die 
können und sollen ja nicht auf Server.

Wie kriege ich jetzt eine tilesATlocal Konfiguration dazu die API zu umgehen 
und stattdessen ein lokales File zu ziehen? Alles danach dürfte sich nicht 
ändern, es wird ja auch nur mit dem aus der API geladenen OSM File hantiert.

Gruß
Mirko

 Korrekt.

Ich vermute, dass die OLM nur deswegen gut funktioniert, weil sie eine 
Nischenanwendung ist. Waere sie populaer - waere gar eine 
OLM-Funktionalitaet auf der OSM-Hauptseite - so haetten wir in 
Nullkommanix endlos viel Spam drin. Derzeit ist es relativ un-attraktiv, 
seinen XXX-Videothek-Link in OSM einzutragen (und wenn, dann stoert's 
keinen). Mit einer OLM-Funktion auf der Hauptseite wird das ploetzlich 
interessant...
