I tested it some days now for my 2 main mapping areas and I like it very much! Thanks again. Btw, do the lat/lon-params support for floats or ints only?

Re: [OSM-talk] Presenting filter for openstreetmaps history RSS feeds
Hello Peter. Floating number are fully supported. You can use decimal point like 20.1 or 0.5 Best wishes, Pavel On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 3:38 AM, Peter Barth osm-t...@won2.de wrote: Hi Pavel, Pavel Melnikov schrieb: Some users suggested a feature to specify filtering limits manually.

Hi Pavel, Pavel Melnikov schrieb: Any comments and reports are still highly appreciated. I guess you missed my comment in the forum, so I'm reposting it here again: --- thanks for this great little tool. I like it. However, the filtering is still too conservative for my needs as still more than 9 out of 10 changesets cover half of Europe. Thus, could you consider a smaller threshold for filtering changesets out? Or even better, adding (two) more parameters to your feed, enabling the user to specify the threshold himself? --- Thanks, Peda -- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
