Re: [Talk-GB] Some TfL data released today for commercial reuse - more on the way
If anyone makes other nice mash-ups the good people working on the London DataStore like to highlight nice uses of their data. It's worth passing them on - datast...@london.gov.uk or @londondatastore on Twitter. I'm looking forward to finally getting all the bus routes, that will be a big but very useful job in London to complete this map: http://www.openbusmap.org/?zoom=11lat=51.50153lon=-0.08187layers=BT Also, if you're around on the 26th this technical workshop on local government/OSM collaboration is worth coming to: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hack_weekend_%26_technical_workshop_June_2010 Best, Tom On 15 June 2010 22:03, Gregory nomoregra...@googlemail.com wrote: Yay, data!

We probably could have in London eventually but it would either need someone with time on their hands and an interest in mapping bus routes or cajoling volunteer mappers who might have other things to map. Another point: Will the list of bus stops help us clean up the wierd and wonderful abbreviations in the NaPTAN import? -- Andrew ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Thanks, it will probably go through a series of amendments, but I can remember to include them in some of my tweets. I have a short list of suggestions/ideas to improve it slightly.

I wondered what form the data will be in and it sounds like it will be fairly manual for us to adjust route relations. Saves riding a bus for the routes I suppose! It will be good to show of a bus route map like no other (slippy, free, all the roads, customisable, etc). It could also encourage others to release their route information. Also, if you're around on the 26th this technical workshop on local government/OSM collaboration is worth coming to: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hack_weekend_%26_technical_workshop_June_2010 I've had it in my diary for a while, should be good. Unfortunately I really can't make the Saturday(with all the council folk), but expect me on the Sunday. Oh, I also see you need names on the list for entry, and I need to add my name. -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

What interests me far more is the access to the Tube's TrackerNet system. I'll have a play about with it a little after my C exam tomorrow morning... -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
