Re: [OSM-talk-be] Carte du nucléaire (map of nuclear power plants) - from talk-fr mailing list

2011-04-11 Thread Benoit Leseul
Hi,

The cooling tower at Drogenbos has nothing to do with UCB. It really
is part of an Electrabel power plant, just not a nuclear one. The
technology involved is combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) or Turbine
Gaz-Vapeur (TGV) in French.

I don't know how you should tag that, but there are a few other in
Belgium: http://www.electrabel.be/whoarewe/activities/generationfacilities.aspx

 I have seen that it is OK for Tihange, but that  an UCB tower at Drogenbos
 is erroneously tagged as a nuclear reactor, and there is nothing about Doel
 !
 On OSM, i have just seen the following tags for the 3 reactors :
     * generator:method: fission
     * generator:source: nuclear
     * power: generator
 I am not familiar at all with tags concerning power, and i am far from Doel
 and Mol, so is there somebody to help our french mapper ?

 Il s'agit d'une tour de refroidissement d'une entreprise chimique (UCB, mais
 qui a peut-être changé de dénomination)  -- il n'y a rien de nucléaire à
 cet endroit !
 Par contre, il y a une centrale à Doel (production électrique) :

 Il y a aussi le centre de recherche nucléaire à Mol (http://www.sckcen.be)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] 4th meeting STUK on 06 april 2011

2011-04-11 Thread Jo
I adapted the script quite extensively in the mean time. It takes into
account the language of the names (if possible) and it works quite well for
the bilingual situation of Brussels.

Of course, what it proposes in the edit box, is only a suggestion. It will
still turn all 'De' in 'de', which is probably not what you want when this
'De' is part of somebody's name. In that case, simply press the Cancel
button and it will not ask the question about streets with that name again.

What is more important than the specifics of what this script does though,
is that is now possible to code functionality in Python. Doing something
with a selection or with all the elements of a specific type. Adding the
actions to a list and then adding that list to the undoRedo buffer.

What I also found, is that it's best to start JOSM from within a command
prompt, or from a cmd-file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre6\bin\java.exe -jar -Xmx500m
C:\Users\Jo\Downloads\josm-latest.jar

That way Python print commands print to this command prompt and also when an
exception occurs (an error), it's possible to see what it's all about in
that output (and also in which line of the script it got stuck). At first we
were working 'in the dark', which is not very convenient.

Ik zou voor deze een extra symbool invoegen als '$' die het einde van de

met bvb. Weg (en bij nader onderzoek zijn ze er ook echt: 
http://osm.org/go/0EhkEszZx-- ), en voor baan en laan zal het ook wel 
ergens bestaan.

Daarnaast is het nog altijd mogelijk dat die woorden apart móéten staan (al is 
de normale regel inderdaad aan elkaar, ongeacht of ze het splitsen op het 
naambord)


  (Oudebaan, Oude Baan),
  (Grotebaan, Grote Baan),

Met de deze moet je ook heel hard opletten, soms is het wel degelijk één 
woord:
http://osm.org/go/0EpSppcIj- en http://osm.org/go/0EpYj3b6Y--

Nuja, vanaf een regel niet voor álle namen geldt, lijkt het voor mij beter om 
die ertussenuit te halen. Er zullen toch mensen zijn die het gaan uitvoeren 
zonder nadenken, dus geef je hen beter geen kans.

Niet doen.
Omdat het niet mag: copyright, en omdat je dan mogelijks tegen de lamp loopt

Er staan wel degelijk fouten (al dan niet opzettelijk) in Google Maps.
Dit zijn geen straatnaamfouten, maar die zullen er ook wel zijn.

I certainly am in for the meeting in Liège, under whatever name or 
title. Meeting in Antwerpen or Mechelen seems less productive to me, 
these places are already well covered. Aarschot is a curious idea but 
sounds nice. Actually I think one meeting per month is an ambitious goal 
already, I prefer to have at least this rhythm fixed even if the 
location varies. We must admit that not very many people show up, those 
meetings we do manage should on the one hand attract a minimal 
attendance and on the other hand encourage newbies. Being close might be 
one point of attraction, and that's why I prefer the Liège and Aarschot 
options.


But the main point is that we have SOME meeting. I must plead guilty to 
the old sin of offering lots of comment while contributing little 
action, I do have been much called upon in other areas.

Yes. If the matter ever came to court - which seems rather unlikely
and lets hope it does not - the phrase free and open would probably
be understood by a court as limiting the power of the contributors'
vote. I suspect that a court would wish to give the contributors a
wide discretion but it would be fettered to some extent by the
phraseology.

It also (I hope) gives a lead to contributors as to the intention of
OSMF if any vote were held.

[OSM-talk] Google Maps changes their ToU

2011-04-11 Thread Martijn van Exel
Hi all,

The Google Maps API's ToU has been 'reviewed' by Google[1]. New applications
using the GM API will no longer be able to opt out of advertising. Also, new
usage limits are introduced. This is just one more argument to use
OpenLayers or another OS web mapping framework with OSM instead of GM.

It is probably possible to revert the changeset. I think most of the data
can easily be restored. However, you would loose ~ 40 edits of existing
streetsbut it's maybe the smaller problem.

(With apologies to the wonderful Slashdot troll team...)


It is official; Netcraft now confirms: OSM is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered OSM community
when IDC confirmed that OSM market share has dropped yet again, now
down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all online maps. Coming
close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states
that OSM has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce
what we've known all along. OSM is collapsing in complete disarray, as
fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent
Neogeographer's comprehensive route-finding test.

You don't need to be Gulliver to predict OSM's future. The hand
writing is on the wall: OSM faces a bleak future. In fact there won't
be any future at all for OSM because OSM is dying. Things are looking
very bad for OSM. As many of us are already aware, OSM continues to
lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

Mapping parties are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93%
of participants to the shinier Google (™) mapping parties complete
with jelly beans and free massages. The sudden and unpleasant
departure of long time OSM contributor Fake SteveC only serves to
underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt:
OSM is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OSM founder SteveC states that there are over 500k mappers in OSM. How
many active mappers are there? Let's see. The number of anti-ODbL
posts on the OSM mailing lists versus those praising the OSMF in the
strongest possible terms is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore
there are about 12.33 active mappers. Attendance at a recent Google
Mapping Party, cunningly disguised as a flash mob, was estimated to
contain 100k disgruntled former OSM mappers. A recent article put
indignant Germans who argue instead of mapping at about 80 percent of
total OSM mappers. Therefore there are about -200k OSM contributors
(adjusting for those who are demanding their data back). This is
consistent with the number of incidents of drunk barge owners tripping
over ropes and landing in the canal.

Due to the Cyprus edit war, abysmal sales and so on, the Java Applet
went out of business and was taken over by Pot Latch which makes
another troubled map. Now API 0.5 is also dead, its corpse turned over
to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that OSM has steadily declined in market share.
OSM is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
OSM is to survive at all it will be among bearded hippies too behind
the times to have discovered Waze. OSM continues to decay. Nothing
short of a cockeyed miracle could save OSM from its fate at this point
in time. For all practical purposes, OSM is dead.

Let's not loose sight of a few facts / trends w.r.t. sub Saharan Africa:
1. The continent is not experiencing the same demographic dividend as
other emerging economies. Birthrates will remain high for at least
another 50 years. AIDS is decimating the economically active
population.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_catastrophe

2. African governments are simply not building the required infrastructure.

3. The mobile phone has increase productivity in Africa more than all
previous inventions combined. Farmers no longer need to make slow and
expensive journeys to find out what price the market will pay for
their crops. Migrant workers can send money to their families over
long distances.

4. A dismally small percentage of Africans can read maps. But
augmented reality-type applications will completely change that.

5. OSM is simply not successful enough in Africa to cover the
tremendous opportunities presented in points 3 and 4. Lack of cheap
Internet access on the African continent should take most of the
blame. But it doesn't help that so many OSM apps are not available in
Africa (Skobbler, ORS, OSM-3D etc).

So I'm really glad about Google's efforts.

When you can do more with the data than what them on one companys site

IMHO the more open we will offer the data the more applications and usage types

There are several issues which needs to be addressed before we can
move forward (not necessary with growth, but forward nevertheless):
1) QA principles of map data. There are very few consistent know how
docs about mapping. No, I'm not talking about educating newbies, I
talking about agreements between active mappers how to do things. No
doubt, there are lot good QA tools, but they still lack serious
oversight and sometimes overburden contributor with details (not all
highways needs a name tag, you know). This is main problem I think
because lot of contributors just get confused with all stuff and there
is serious lack of documentation to explain all in detail;
2) Get air clear for licensing stuff - decide and move forward, give
concrete deadlines for moving to ODbL. I know there is resistance but
bird have already sung in this case - then better split up efforts to
not to hurt each another. I suggest critics shut up and show the code
with alternative service with old CC-BY-SA license;
3) Get some serious marketing team together. We have SOTM, we have
pictures of the day, we have lot of exciting new things in OSM - but
no one knows that. Heck, even majority of geeks still are clueless
what OpenStreetMap actually is and what you can do about it.
OpenLayers? No one knows. OpenStreetMap data can be used freely? Can't
I just use GM? No?

We as community, as organization need to deal with lot of stuff before
we can call us dead :)

 Agreed. Most OSMers don't care about the license so why would people in the
developing world?

Being critical of Google serves no purpose. They aren't forcing people to
contribute to their products. gmaps is cool and everybody uses it so people
naturally want to see their street, business, etc. on there.

We should concentrate on making OSM a better competitor. A couple of things
I can think of:

- Why do so many people create OSM accounts but then just do a few edits or
none at all? How about a poll directed to those people to try and get to the
root of the problem? Is it the editors or the help available or something
else?

- A lot of effort has gone into making Potlatch and JOSM the powerful tools
that they are but if you are in a developing country with just a mobile
phone or a low spec laptop with a crappy internet connection they are going
to suck. How would someone in that situation contriibute to OSM?

I don't think its ever been done.

What are we trying to do and who is the target audience?  Are we trying to
create a map that can be used by others?  Are we a social group that enjoys
mapping?

Why are we doing this?

There might be several reasons of differing importance.

Only when you have agreement on what we are trying to do can you say we
should do this or that.  Well some people can say we should do this or that

 5. OSM is simply not successful enough in Africa to cover the

 Internet access on the African continent should take most of the
 blame. But it doesn't help that so many OSM apps are not available in
 Africa (Skobbler, ORS, OSM-3D etc).


To argue the other side of the coin, however, OSM is already the most
successful mapping platform in Africa; Ivory Coast, for example, is
best catered for by OpenStreetMap. Leaving Africa, OSM has been
fantastically successful in Haiti - if you want maps of Haiti, you go
to, without exception, OpenStreetMap. In Haiti, for example, local
people are being trained in how to map for OpenStreetMap; this is
people in the developing world mapping for themselves.

The important thing with Ivory Coast and Haiti is that OpenStreetMap
has provided an amazing resource that you can't get from elsewhere,
certainly not from GMM. That's one of the products that I was alluding
to in my previous email: spatial data. The problem is that this
amazing work on the OSM front was done by a small a group of people
working under the HOT banner; Google has endless more resources in
this respect.

OSM can provide the most amazing mapping resources for the entire
planet, but we lack Google's money and person-power to get it done as
much as could be. The problem with welcoming Google into the world of
user-contributed spatial-data is that you dilute our available
resources even further by encouraging potential users to lock up their
data with the big G.

provide mapping resources to the wider world and to the benefit of the

 Let's not loose sight of a few facts / trends w.r.t. sub Saharan Africa:

 another 50 years. AIDS is decimating the economically active
 population.

 2. African governments are simply not building the required infrastructure.

 3. The mobile phone has increase productivity in Africa more than all
 previous inventions combined. Farmers no longer need to make slow and
 expensive journeys to find out what price the market will pay for
 their crops. Migrant workers can send money to their families over
 long distances.

 4. A dismally small percentage of Africans can read maps. But
 augmented reality-type applications will completely change that.

 5. OSM is simply not successful enough in Africa to cover the
 tremendous opportunities presented in points 3 and 4. Lack of cheap
 Internet access on the African continent should take most of the
 blame. But it doesn't help that so many OSM apps are not available in
 Africa (Skobbler, ORS, OSM-3D etc).

 So I'm really glad about Google's efforts.

Re: [OSM-talk] We Need to Stop Google's Exploitation of Open Communities

2011-04-11 Thread Bernhard Zwischenbrugger




If you don't mind about being open, why are you not just using
Google's data already?


Hello,

thank you for your insightful comment, I will move immediately to 
Google and start using their data directly. Can you point out to me 
where I can access their data so I can make an efficient use of them?

Where can I access the OSM data?

I know it is possible to download the hole planet, setup a database,... 
but that's not an easy task.


I'm a teacher and my students are able to load data from an API and 
display the data on a map.

Last year we did some projects using XAPI - but then xapi was broken.

We had about 100 API Requests per week. For that amount of requests it 
makes no sense to have a local copy of the db.

But without db we are not able to read osm data.

Without data everything is tile based and that's the same as google and 
bing are offering.

MapQuest is offering XAPI now - but will it still be available in 2 month?

Not easy, but possible, and done by literally hundreds of people all

You are missing the point if you compare data that is not free by 
license to data that is free but cumbersome to use. The latter case can 
be fixed by manpower; the former cannot.

Setting up a full mirror of any constantly changing data is
non-trivial, and there are people in the project working on making it
easier.

 I'm a teacher and my students are able to load data from an API and display
 the data on a map.
 Last year we did some projects using XAPI - but then xapi was broken.

That's unfortunate, and had to do with lots of factors.

But then Ian stepped up and wrote replacement code, and now you can
run your own XAPI, use OSM's, or Mapquest's.

 We had about 100 API Requests per week. For that amount of requests it makes
 no sense to have a local copy of the db.
 But without db we are not able to read osm data.

Sure, but then you might similarly say Do we need fresh data or can
we simply use an extract for teaching purposes?.

Live demos never work- relying on external services for teaching, same
thing. But I digress.

 Without data everything is tile based and that's the same as google and bing

 MapQuest is offering XAPI now - but will it still be available in 2 month?

I suspect so.

But if this is so vital to your class, maybe your university could
offer resources to the project.

Really?  Nothing left to do?  I ran some quick checks on a local copy of
about 4 US states and found that 74% of it HAD NEVER BEEN EDITED after
the initial Tiger import.  That means it's UNROUTABLE in most cases, due
to the way the data was imported county-by-county.

Meanwhile, in the last month or so I've seen discussions on the tagging
list about surveillance cameras, bicycle shops, and oil wells.  I'm not
saying OSM shouldn't include those things eventually, but I do think
that routable roads are a benefit to far more users.

[OSM-talk-nl] Fietsknooppuntennetwerk Utrecht

Collega's,

Iets ten oosten van Gouda kwam ik enkele knooppunten tegen die volgens 
het bord dat daar stond behoren tot het fietsknooppuntennetwerk Utrecht. 
Dat netwerk wordt daar echter wel erg groot van (zowel in oppervlak als 
in aantal knooppunten). Ik heb wat ik tegenkwam aan de relatie proberen 
toe te voegen, maar voel er wel voor er een afzonderlijke relatie voor 
aan te maken. Op basis van de borden die ik zag zou Vecht- en 
Plassengebied Utrecht als een afzonderlijk netwerk kunnen worden opgevoerd.


Iemand anders een mening?

De onderverdeling van het netwerk Utrecht in subnetwerken is (zoals wel meer 
dingen in dat netwerk) niet echt goed doordacht. Het grootste deel van het 
gebied dat oorspronkelijk Vecht- en Plassengebied werd genoemd ligt 
helemaal niet in de buurt van de Vecht en de plassen in het noorden van de 
provincie. Daarom is in een deel van het gebied later de naam overgeplakt 
met Vecht-, plassen- en Krommerijngebied. Waar de grens ligt tussen de wel 
en niet overgeplakte punten weet ik niet. Wel zou ik de hele Lopiker Waard, 
die ook in het gebied ligt, nooit zo omschrijven.

M.a.w.: Ik zou het hele Utrechtse netwerk één geheel laten.

 If you want to do some mapping from home, then BING imagery is usually
 more
 than adequete and is and will continue to
 be OSM comliant. This way your efforts will not be in vain whether you
 stay
 with OSM, or branch off to another project.


I map in places where the best imagery is usually Landsat. Don't get

targeted at commercial targets - mining sites and around where I live, the

Hi Neal,

I don't think you have any problem then.  Contribute to FOSM or even just
continue to use the OSM toolset and database. Your data will still be
available to the FOSM project.

For the time being you will have the best of both worlds.  Eventually you
will have to chose which project you wish to support because eventually

mir auch nicht, die einzelnen Sportarten taggen wir ja bereits (gut,
multi ist ein Kompromiss, der wenig bringt, weil verschiedene halt
keine verwertbare Information ist, zumindest nicht weiterhilft, wenn
man z.B. einen Fussballplatz oder einen Tennisplatz sucht). Aber
zwischen einem Sportgelände (im Sinne von Sportanlage / Sportplatz,
das Deutsche ist hier leider nicht völlig eindeutig, weil Sportplatz
z.T. auch das Spielfeld beschreibt) und einer Turnhalle würde ich
gerne unterscheiden.

Gebäude findet man unter allen möglichen Umständen, das Vorhandensein
eines geschlossenen Ways mit building=yes reicht mir nicht aus, um
eine Turnhalle zu beschreiben. Hier ist es durchaus häufig, dass eine
Reihe von Tennisplätzen, Fussballplätzen, Restaurant, Schwimmbad,
Basketballplätzen etc. auf einem Gelände unter einem Betreiber und
unter einem Namen firmiert. Diese Dinger hatte ich bisher als
leisure=sports_centre beschrieben.

Auch Schwimmbäder scheinen übrigens nach wie vor nicht abgedeckt zu

Ja, für Fitnessstudios scheint es auch noch nichts zu geben,
jedenfalls legt das eine aktuelle Diskussion auf der tagging list
nahe. Die engl. Wikipedia beschreibt unter diesem Schlagwort übrigens
ein öffentliches Fitnesscenter (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_centre ).

Das Wiki beschreibt eine zwangsläufig überdachte Sporteinrichtung:
The sports centre is an enclosed covered area, primarily used for
sporting activities. This area may include sports halls, pitches /
courts, a gym / fitness studio, swimming pool etc., allerdings gibt
es diese Definition erst seit dem 4. März 2010. Ich habe mir mal die

je nach verwendetem Plotter (Tintenstrahler können es normalerweise)
kann man auch Übergrößen drucken, wobei dann neben dem Geldbeutel nur
die Rollenbreite (und Länge ;-) ) entscheidet. Üblich sind 90 cm (A0)
sowie 120 und 150 (60). Noch größer wird dann normalerweise richtig
teuer, aber 320 x 360 wären halt 3x120 je 320 lang (das sind 11,5 m²,
ein A0 sind 1 m² --- A0 ist normalerweise die Berechnungsgröße für den
Preis). Vergleichen lohnt sich hier, die Preise sind höchst
unterschiedlich (Qualität z.T. auch).

Re: [Talk-de] Add-Tags:ein neues Werkzeug zur Verbindung Wikipedia - OpenStreetMap

2011-04-11 Thread Kolossos

Na,
schauen wir uns mal die Einträge im Detail an:
* Der Albania-Kosovo Highway wird in der engl. Wikipedia wie folgt 
beschrieben: also known as the Durres-Kukes Corridor in Albania, 
Vermice-Merdare Corridor and Ibrahim Rugova Highway in Kosovo, and Rruga 
e Kombit (Nation's Highway) in general.

In OSM heißen Teilstrecken: Autostrada Morine kukes Durres.
Ein automatisiertes matchen ist somit keinesfalls möglich.

* Der Bill Clinton Boulevard läuft in OSM unter:
int_name: Bill Clinton Boulevard
name: Bil Klinton
name:en: Bill Clinton Boulevard
   Ich frage halt nur den Name-Tag und nicht den name:en-Tag ab.

*Die Europastraße E 80 ist ja ein ganz dickes Ding von Spanien bis in 
die Türkei und heißt wohl bei OSM lokal im Kosovo M2.




Also generell zeigt sich das in den Fällen das matching nicht gut genug 
funktioniert. Der Fehler also nicht bei dir liegt.


Eine Lösungsidee die mir gerade kam, könnte sein, Nominatim dafür zu 
nutzen, da ist schon viel Hirnschmalz reingeflossen und es dürfte viele 
der von Tobias genannten Probleme mit der Schreibweise lösen. Es liefert 
OSM-ID, BBOX und OSM-Typ also eigentlich alles was man braucht.
Leider fehlt es mir momentan etwas an Zeit, vielleicht hat ja jemand 
Lust da mitzuhelfen?


Wenn man aber andererseits sieht, wie lange man brauch um aus den 
einzelnen Wikipedia-Artikel selbstständig auf den mehr oder weniger 
exakten Straßenverlauf zu kommen, fühle ich mich in meinen Bestreben 
bestärkt, das in der integrierten Karten hervorzuheben. Dafür braucht es 
die Verlinkung.

Am 09.04.2011 19:52, schrieb Kolossos:



Ich bekomme recht oft ein Result empty. Please select manually.
Anscheinend ist das Tool eher sensibel, was die Schreibweise angeht, so
dass Variationen in der Benennung eine automatische Zuordnung
verhindern, z.B.:
* Drei-Länder-Halle vs. Dreiländerhalle
* Dreiflüssestadion Passau vs. Dreiflüssestadion
* ScharfrichterHaus vs. Scharfrichterhaus
* St. Severin vs. Sankt Severin
Letzteres dürfte wegen der Anti-Abkürzungs-Konvention bei OSM ein
häufiger Stolperstein sein.


(Siehe auch meine andere Antwort.)
Die Lösung könnte wohl sein, optional auch über Nominatim zu gehen. 
Leider kann man in Nominatim wohl nicht die Typen so genau festlegen und 
es scheint auch schwierig die richtige Anzahl an Treffern zu erreichen.



Ansonsten wäre noch ganz praktisch, wenn man gleich aus der Tabelle
erfahren würde, ob der Wikipedia-Artikel schon von OSM-Objekten aus
verlinkt ist, statt ihn erst anklicken zu müssen.


Das stört mich auch ungemein. Ggf. löst sich das sobald man eine 
Datenbank der Verknüpfungen hat. Wenn da jemand vorher eine Idee hat, 
wie man das schnell mit einer einzigen SQL-Abfrage lösen kann, dann nur 
zu. Das Projekt ist recht einfach gestrickt und steht auch anderen 
Programmierern offen.

Ich frage mich ob man bei den ICE-Relationen nicht lieber Relationen für

jeweils den ICE-Relationen zuordnet. Im Momment sind die ICE-Relation

ganz zu schweigen von EC/ICs und sonstigen Verbindungen.

Im Unterschied zu Bus/Straßenbahn-Linien verlaufen diese Linien lange
auf der selben Strecke.

Was ist Eure Meinung ?


Dieses Verfahren wäre mir für alle ÖPNV-Linien das liebste gewesen. Eine 
Relation für die Teilstrecke Haltestelle - Haltestelle (bzw. Platform 
- Platform). Alle Relationen zusammen geben die Relation für 
Linie/Richtung/Variante.


Aber damit habe ich mich leider nicht durchsetzen können, da zu 
kompliziert. :-(


Es gibt im deutschen Eisenbahn-Fernverkehr zwar LInien

http://www.bahn.de/p/view/mdb/bahnintern/fahrplan_und_buchung/streckenplaene/MDB84831-ice_2011.pdf
http://www.bahn.de/p/view/mdb/bahnintern/fahrplan_und_buchung/streckenplaene/MDB85553-ecic_2011_korrigiert.pdf

aber diese sind in der Praxis meist so variantenreich wie eine Dorfbuslinie.

Zudem werden die Linienbezeichnungen der ICE/IC/EC außer auf diesem Plan 
nirgends verwendet.


Im Nahverkehr sind die Bezeichnungen in vielen Bundesländern 
gebräuchlicher und werden auf den Zielanzeigern/Aushangfahrplänen 
kommuniziert. Bis zum HAFAS haben sich auch diese freilich noch immer 
nicht herumgesprochen.

[Talk-it] Sentieri di montagna non segnati, trail_visibility ??

2011-04-11 Thread at1839
Saluti a tutti, mi chiamo Paolo e sono nuovo della lista. 
Per mestiere mi occupo di informatica e di reti, più che altro in ambiente
*nix. 
Ho un passato ormai abbastanza remoto di 'ravanage' :) e tracciatura gps,
materiale pubblicato allora su Giscover. Sono invece relativamente nuovo su
OSM. 
Sto inserendo itinerari in provincia di Pesaro e ho anche parecchio sulle
Dolomiti Zoldane. 

Vengo alla domanda. 

Molte delle mie tracce gps sono relative alla riscoperta di vecchi sentieri
che appaiono sulle tavolette IGM ma non sulle cartine commerciali; si tratta
ovviamente di sentieri non segnalati con gli ordinari bolli rossi etc. Mi
trovo perciò in imbarazzo con il tag trail_visibility perché mi sembra di
capire che presupponga in qualche modo un segnavia. D'altronde non mi sembra
neppure corretto taggare trail_visibility=no se il percorso, seppure non
segnalato, è ragionevolmente evidente. 

Consigli? E, per inciso, se qualcuno più esperto butta un occhio magari vien
fuori qualche altro peccatuccio :) 

Grazie in anticipo. Paolo, aka at1839

Un semplice highway=path  senza alcun ref potrebbe andare? di solito ho

 Saluti a tutti, mi chiamo Paolo e sono nuovo della lista.
 Per mestiere mi occupo di informatica e di reti, più che altro in ambiente
 *nix.
 Ho un passato ormai abbastanza remoto di 'ravanage' :) e tracciatura gps,
 materiale pubblicato allora su Giscover. Sono invece relativamente nuovo su
 OSM.
 Sto inserendo itinerari in provincia di Pesaro e ho anche parecchio sulle
 Dolomiti Zoldane.

 Vengo alla domanda.

 Molte delle mie tracce gps sono relative alla riscoperta di vecchi sentieri
 che appaiono sulle tavolette IGM ma non sulle cartine commerciali; si tratta
 ovviamente di sentieri non segnalati con gli ordinari bolli rossi etc. Mi
 trovo perciò in imbarazzo con il tag trail_visibility perché mi sembra di
 capire che presupponga in qualche modo un segnavia. D'altronde non mi sembra
 neppure corretto taggare trail_visibility=no se il percorso, seppure non
 segnalato, è ragionevolmente evidente.

trail_visibility serve per indicare che stato di visibilità ha il
sentiero, sia che sia un percorso segnalato sia che non lo sia. Usalo
tranquillamente. Quando un sentiero è segnalato aggiungi la relazione
route hiking


 Consigli? E, per inciso, se qualcuno più esperto butta un occhio magari vien
 fuori qualche altro peccatuccio :)


mandaci il link della zona

 Grazie in anticipo. Paolo, aka at1839

al meno mi accolgono in tedesco (se vedi qui:

 Per quanto riguarda il PCN i servizi allestiti sarebbero di
 notevole interesse, peccato che i termini d'uso siano a dir poco
 fumosi e discrezionali. A partire dalle licenze praticamente
 tutti i diritti riservati per finire ai meccanismi di ban per
 chi utilizza troppo il servizio.


cmq. ci offrono delle foto ben referenziati ed in risoluzione
sufficente per tanti scopi coprendo tutta l'Italia, una cosa che il
resto del mondo se la sogne ancora (a precindere delle USA e Canada).
Poi penso che non usano più il ban, ma rallentano la connessione (al
meno avevo questa impressione ultimamente), e c'è anche da dire che
avevano visti dei tentativi di rubare i dati prima che hanno
introdotti questi sistemi restringenti.

 Un semplice highway=path  senza alcun ref potrebbe andare? di solito ho
 mappato così sentieri senza segnavia ed eventualmente anche con traccia
 incerta. potresti usare in aggiunta un note= / comment= per indicare
 sentiero non segnato, segnavia mancante

per tutti i sentieri sarebbe bene usare trail_visibility e sac_scale
per i sentieri con segnavia anche la relation route
