Re: [OSM-talk] GSoC project idea
I like the idea no matter by what name others call it. A rose by any other name... As the application deadline for GSoC has passed you have some time to polish the ideas until next year :) Konrad 2010/4/12 OJ W ojwli...@googlemail.com: just an idea... say you have a location, like a business or an event. You want to publish a printable map which tells people how to get there. Sure you could print an entire map of the area. But most of those roads would never be used by people visiting you - they don't go in right direction and confuse the map. So, idea: Given a location x: For every point that's 30 miles away from that location: Route from that point to x If you recorded all those best routes from each direction, you now have a map showing the routes that are actually important to get to you. So now create a map showing *only* roads/paths that apppeared as the best way of getting to you. Include a few side-roads and roundabout-exits to give context. Then print/publish that as the official way of getting to your location. Publish that, and anyone coming from anywhere will have an uncluttered map showing the easiest and fastest way to reach your business or event. Anyway, just an idea.. Do feel free to ping if you get nice results. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Algorithmically speaking, it pays up to calculate a spanning tree instead of singular routes. -- -- Iván Sánchez Ortega i...@sanchezortega.es God, please save me from your followers! - Bumper Sticker ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
