Talking about roads:

I don't see the point mapping roads as areas. There's not much you do  
with an area that can't in principle be done using a line with  
appropriate tagging. The problem is that the current tagging namespace  
is too simple and not expressive enough to allow it. For example, if I  
write

   highway=residential cycleway=track width=3

there's no way for you to know if width=3 describes the cycleway or  
the road itself.  In my view it would make much more sense to work on  
a more expressive (perhaps BNF based?) tagging scheme. This would  
enable a gradual enhancement of the map, where the new tagging syntax  
could live along-side the old.

Areas are reminicent of the map-drawing approach to the map, in the  
sense that mankind has been drawing maps  with paper and pencil for  
thousands of years.  The map-drawing approach is valuable in OSM  
because it allows us to indicate residential areas parks, etc.   
However, in addition, OSM has a graph-based approach for a description  
of the network of roads which makes it *uniquely* valuable. Graphs  
prefectly represents the road map and can be used for many  
applications, routing is an example that many people use daily.

Conversely, there isn't much you can do with graphs that can't be done  
with areas, and since the map-drawing approach has great appeal to  
people enjoying beautiful and detailed maps, the pressure for  
deprecating the graph-based approach in favour of the map-drawing  
approach will be ever increasing.

We need to resist that. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath- 
water!

[OSM-talk] New OpenStreetMap iPhone Editor - Mapzen POI Collector

2009-11-26 Per discussione Nick Black
Hi Guys,

Mapzen POI Collector was released into the App Store this morning.
Mapzen POI Collector is a free iPhone app that makes it really easy to
collect POIs for OpenStreetMap.  Users locate themselves using the
iPhone's built in GPS, position a pin at the location of the POI they
want to add and then choose from a range of pre-selected categories.
No need to remember those obscure tags any more.

Mapzen POI Collector is available from all App Stores.  Localised docs
are available for Germany, France, Italy, UK/US.

Download from the App Store here:

Germany - http://bit.ly/6qUoA8

UK/US - http://bit.ly/8wM9O1

France - http://bit.ly/8OfrCt

Italy - http://bit.ly/6xBa3h

Thanks to many members of the OpenStreetMap community who helped with
the translations, including: Jonas Krückel (German), Simone Cortesi
(Italian), Frédéric Bonifas (French).  If you would like to help
translate the Mapzen POI collector docs into your language, please
drop me an emai: n...@cloudmade.com

Happy Mapping!

remain, but if for a given way I can define the order of sidewalk, 
bicycle lane, bus lane, car lanes, separators and whatever else, each 
with speed limit, width and various other tags, I barely see the need 
for area mapping of ways.

Is there any problem with this approach ? It would introduce hierarchy 
and ordering, but it would reuse all the existing tags and remain 
compatible with the existing scheme. Notice that introducing hierarchy 
and ordering fits the existing OpenStreetMap XML schema quite naturally: 
all that would be needed is to nest a way inside a way - except that

I now realize that there is a big risk of diluting the model. So maybe 
finding a way to make the model more expressive without changing its 
focus from graph to areas is a better way to address the need without 
losing what we have.

Re: [OSM-talk] positioning of barrier = stile

2009-11-26 Per discussione Mike Harris
I always put stiles and gates offset from any vehicular highway just near
the beginning of the relevant pedestrian way - even if this means creating a
stub for the pedestrian way where this has yet to be surveyed (and then the
stub also serves as a reminder to go back and do the additional mapping!).
The problems with placing the barrier on the vehicular highway or at the
intersection node are clear!

 It seems you already answered your own question. Having the

 stile that is blocking travel in that road.
 
 I've used your 2nd tagging, with the node with the stile a

There is a construction that might bridge the gap between areas and
graphs. In lack of a better word, I will call it a multiplex for now
(I am sure there's a better word.)

Imagine an area like seen in the attached file (ASCII art). It
represents an area that could be an intersection. On the edges of this
polygon some hot-spots labelled A-H have been defined.  The shape of
the polygon and the position of hot-spots on the edges is arbitrary
and can be defined by the user.

The nice thing about the multiplex is that lines (ways) can connect to
the hot-spots from the outside, and the multiplex itself contains
information about how the hotspots are connected internally.

So for example, if the multiplex in the example represents an
intersection, you would connect B-D (left turn from B), B-F (going
straigh ahead from B), B - D (right turn from B).  And so on, to make
all other possible connections inside the intersection.  This would
give you an object which would render nicely as an intersection, and
there's of course the option of tagging a bunch of auxilliary
information such number of traffic_lights, directional signs etc.

(This example is for right-lane traffic. In countries with left traffic,
you'd do it differently)

Cheers,
Morten

Comes with GTK itself so GPSd along with josm or anything else should run
better than mobile platforms

moko also comes with resistance based touch and 3d accel and gps and all

me contemplating to buy one of those)

2009/11/24 Valent Turkovic valent.turko...@gmail.com

 Hi,
 I'm looking for the best mobile phone for OpenStreetMap.
 Which mobile phone do you think is better for OpenStreetMap?

 Things for consideration are:
 - onboard GPS precision
 - applications for GPS logging
 - applications for POI collection
 - battery life when mapping (how long can you map)

 Please share any experience that you have with any or even better if you
 had experience with both of them. I only user iPhone for a short while,
 and haven't even seen Android for real but I ran Android emulator via SDK
 to get a feel for it.


 Here are some of my thoughts...

 Android positive points:
 - platform on the uptake, more apps coming every day
 - nice POI collection app [1]
 - runs multiple apps at once
 - quite open platform

 Android negative points:
 - less apps than iPhone, both for OSM and general
 - not so good as multimedia player (video and audio podcasts)
 - a bit bigger and heavier than iPhone


 iPhone positive points:
 - lots of apps, both for OSM and general [2]
 - CloudMade MapZen POI collector supports for iPhone [3]
 - multitouch interface
 - great multimedia player (video and audio podcasts)
 - nice deal for a 2 year T-Mobile contract

 iPhone negative points:
 - runs only one app at once :(
 - pretty closed platform :(
 - quite expensive, no carrier in Croatia offers it in contract deals :(

Good question :-)

It is indeed true that this concept could be expanded to deal with, say, a
six-lane highway, a cloverleaf intersection, etc. Fascinating...

Well, the internal connections would be constructed from nodes and ways
inside the object (but encapsulated from the outside world, so they are only
accessible from the object/multiplex itself.) Therefore, the object knows
the length of it's internal connections and should be able to answer that
question. (Perhaps it sounds like I'm talking about a C++ object but I hope
you get the meaning.)

In the meantime, I've elaborated a little bit on this idea, illustrated with
somewhat more detailed pictures of the intersection. It's on my wiki page [0].

I made these before starting to think about your question, so the internal
connections you see in one of the image are made up of just straight lines.
It does, however, deal with the internal routing in the object. Like you
said, it would give errors when attempting to measure distances, but in the
case of an intersection those errors would be extremely small (the object
would have to measure the distance from B to the node that branches off to D
plus the distance from there to D, ignoring the fact that a car would take a
shorter curve through the intersection.)

Morten

You can calculate the shortest path from A to B that lies entirely
within the polygon, but:
1. the vehicle is not (usually) a point, it has a width and length,
the shortest path will be different for a lorry and a bike,
2. a car is not going to take the shortest path either, it has to
align to: the traffic rules, how tight a turn it can make, etc.

Most of the times it's going to be using the middle of some lane
independent of the vehicle size so the way we have the centrelines on
the map is really convenient.

My feeling is that it will be very hard to introduce something new that does
not stick with the established philosophy.

Here are my thoughts on the data structure:

You are right that this is a kind of relation, but perhaps even more, it is
a miniature instance of a map with an embedded shape?

I guess the novel concept in an OSM context is that there are private things
inside the object that the user does not have access to (or should not, of
course the user can go and edit the XML).

The multiplex object has a list of private nodes and ways. Some of these
nodes are tagged hotspots. The private ways must start and end in a
hotspot, since these are the multiplex's connection to the outer world.

The object also contains a list of public nodes and ways that define the
outer shape of the object, so the user is able to tweak the appearance of
the object. Perhaps the positions of the hotspots as well.

All nodes of the object are relative to an internal origin. When instanced
on the map the internal origin is set to the actual coordinates on the world
map. Probably, there is a need for a rotation/skewing operation as well,
which means the object needs to store a 3x3 matrix.

 Any way you can think of that I might be able to help?

TBH I am quite ignorant on how OSM development proceeds, how ideas are
developed and how they are put into real life use. You can certainly help by
enlightening me in that regard :-)

Thinking about it, I think it's probably not realistic to change this  
in a fundamental way, so in that sense I have to rescind my former  
comments about a BNF formulated language :-)

However, it is possible to achieve an hierachical data-structure using  
lists of lists, and so in that way I think there's more promise in the  
discussion about the multiplex objects in another sub-thread of this  
thread. You yourself actually suggested something similar AFAICS.

[OSM-talk] Two questions about routing

2009-11-26 Per discussione Steve Bennett
Hi all,
  Looks like the routing list doesn't get much traffic, so hope it's
ok to ask two routing questions here:

1) I've ordered a Garmin Oregon 550. Will it be possible to do live
routing with OSM data, including bike paths?

(I'm pretty sure the first part is yes. It's the second bit I'm
worried about - will it be able to route from roads to off-road bike
paths back to roads... I mean doing the routing on the GSPr itself,
not precomputing it.)

2) I'm using the CloudMade site to test routing and fix bike paths in
my local area accordingly. But they only update their data once a week
or so. Is there a better way? What would I have to download and
install to be able to have a shorter turnaround time?


A bit of context: I only just discovered that with cloudmade, you can
route along bike paths. Incredible. I tested it for a couple of rides
I've done in the last year or two, and it instantly figured out
virtually the exact same route I used (including major roads, bike
paths, rail trails...) I find this extremely cool and have been fixing
up the bike paths, adding more links to roads etc. And now I want this
routing with me all the time! :)

Re: [OSM-talk] New OpenStreetMap iPhone Editor - Mapzen POI Collector

2009-11-26 Per discussione Peter Körner
Some more things that came in to my mind:

1. When Moving a POI it's not visible, because your finger is over it. 
When you started moving, there's no way back and no possibility to 
cancel. It would be better if moving were implemented just as adding: 
holding the finger generates a pin that can be moved and dropped with a 
button.

2. Shops that are made up as areas are not editable nor clickable.

3. It's not that clear when a POI is clickable and when it's not. The 
POIs on the tiles sould not have the same color as the real clickable 
POIs (or not have any color at all)

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping everything as areas

2009-11-26 Per discussione Roy Wallace
On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 5:26 PM, Jean-Marc Liotier j...@liotier.org wrote:

 Maybe lines and areas each serve a different purpose : areas describe
 the physical layout of the world whereas lines describe navigation
 paths. So maybe the debate should be re-framed as whether OpenStreetMap
 wants to be a database limited to navigational uses or a physically
 correct map. Navigation is a S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable,
 Attainable, Relevant, Tangible) goal whereas complete description of the
 physical layout of the world is a more abstract goal

I think it's pretty obvious by this stage that OSM is more than just
for navigational uses. And I think it's too late to try to restrict it
back to just that.

So I think the ability to map roads as directed areas is worth
looking into - this seems to me to be the only problem raised so far
about the original poster's question, i.e. mapping everything as
areas (are there others?).

For directed areas, I actually quite like Teemu's idea of using an
ordered set of node-pairs. Any issues with that, or alternatives?

Re: Morten's suggestion of a multiplex, is that just for

multiplex to map a road or lane as a directed area?

[OSM-talk] tags for autorickshaw

2009-11-26 Per discussione Kenneth Gonsalves
hi,

in talk-in we came to the conclusion that apart from taxis, many countries 
have vehicles like autorickshaws, jeeps, tuk-tuks etc. So we are implementing 
the following scheme:

amenity=taxi
vehicle=autorick
autorick=prepaid/meter

with appropriate symbols. In the main osm map this will show the taxi symbol, 
but in the India specific map it will show an autorickshaw - prepaid, metered 
or un metered. An example can be seen here:

http://xlquest.net/?zoom=20amp;lat=13.08205amp;lon=80.27449amp;layers=B

this scheme  (or a suitably modified one) could be used in other countries too.

It's for everything that you'd like to draw as an area, but that needs to

Re: [OSM-talk] Bridge on Hiking Trails

2009-11-26 Per discussione Mike Harris
I always use layer= , even when there is only a single bridge. It avoids
problems with the validator and - crucially - makes it clear that the two
crossing ways do not have access to each other. (It also improves rendering
but I probably  shouldn't mention that or I'll get flamed!).

Example - common in my area:

If a hiking trail crosses over a canal (and its towpath) by a bridge then
bridge=yes and layer=1 makes it clear that the canal and the trail are at
two different vertical levels and that you cannot get from the trail to the
towpath of the canal.

If there is a ramp or steps from the hiking trail to give access to the
towpath this can then be added as a separate way in the appropriate place.
There is a theoretical dilemma as to what layer to give the ramp but I
usually default to level=0 unless there is a special complexity at a
particular junction that needs more explicit layering.

[OSM-talk] ADDING THE ABILITY TO Mapping everything as areas

2009-11-26 Per discussione Lester Caine
I apologize for not reading every post in the original thread, but too many 
other things to do :(

The real point here is combining micro mapping with macro mapping 
transparently. 
There are many people who will argue that once you have a 'way', it can be 
tagged to define its 'area', but this misses the main point. At the top level 
we 
need a tree of 'objects'. Top one would be 'earth' ( allowing introduction of 
'moon' and 'mars' at some point in the future ;) ). And then everything fits 
below that, and must fit within an area. Once one gets down to finer detail 
such 
as school, hospital and the like, there is little option but to provide an 
area. 
Roads and other linear features are no different to these other area features, 
and may even fit inside some larger area. Service roads around a hospital for 
instance. So in the same way that we have single nodes for a hospital, along 
with a more detailed map of the same object, we should have an agreed way of 
handling the same detail for a road. Relations are something of a bodge to 
provide some of the missing information for a 'tree' view, but one should be 
able to select 'M6' and see the whole of the M6 ... as a single line on the map 
of England ... and on zoming in as a detailed area encompassing the verges and 
other 'nogo' areas including accurate details of each lane.

I am NOT saying that everybody needs to provide ALL this detailed information, 
but I am arguing that if the information is available - such as from satellite 
images then there needs to be a standard way of adding it, along with 
functionality amongst the tools to deal with the micro mapping details.

The bottom line is that while adding 'width' tags all the way along a road may 
be a practical half way house, other area features are not handled the same way 
so why should roads be any different. Macro details like number of lanes, and 
which one to use to take a safe path on and off a complex road interchange neeh 
to be handled as tags on the linear feature for routing purposes, but the 
ability to draw a road in the same detail as a golf course is a no brainer? 
Higher level views can then pull out nodes for hospital, golf course and road 
grid  while higher zoom levels can how acurate fine detail?

I'd say hi anyway, from St Kilda, Melbourne.

Couple of quick questions:

2) What's the latest consensus on how to tag bits of grass in cities
that aren't really parks? I've come across a couple of pages on the

places along the foreshore here with sizeable areas of grass that
don't seem like parks as such, and plenty of reserves...what does

When I became aware the NearMap images were available for the M5-M7 
interchanged I did a tune up of this interchange. (yahoo images pre-date

importantly, one of the motorway links had a break and a wrong way section.

I have fixed these issues so routing should now work better through this

   service_hours:weekdays=6h,8h-11h,15h,18h-22h
 


Kante F:

   service_hours:weekdays=6h-8h,12h-14h,16h-17h
 

Mir gefällt der Gedanke einfach nicht, total unnütz zu einer 
Bushaltestelle zu laufen ;-)



Ich würde da einfach zwei Busrouten einzeichnen, jeweils mit einer
Variante um B und F und dann:

Linie B/F: frequency=3/hour
Linie BD/FD: frequency=two-hourly

(Ich hoffe, dass ich die Zeiten jetzt richtig gedeuet habe.)

Damit kann man zwar keine exakte Berechnung darüber machen, mit wieviel
Wartezeit man an der Haltestelle zu rechnen hat, aber es ist völlig
ausreichend, um den von dir erwähnten Überblick zu bekommen, welche 
Haltestelle vorzuziehen ist.
Ich fürchte, ich hab das etwas missverständlich ausgedrückt. Die Kanten 
enthalten mehrere Haltestellen, die jeweils einige 100m auseinander 
liegen. A, BF, CE sind jeweils eigene Orte, D sogar zwei. Wenn ich also 
in D bin, kann ich nicht mal eben nach CE. Jede Kante hat grob eine 
Fahrzeit von 10 min. Von daher ist es in BF schon wichtig zu wissen, ob 
ich zu einer B-Haltestelle oder zu einer F-Haltestelle muss, da 
diese ja nach dem entweder-oder Prinzip angefahren werden. (*)Die 
Zeitintervalle sind in etwa so, dass sie sich gegenseitig ausschließen. 
Umgangssprachlich: vormittags und abends (fast) ausschließlich B, sonst 
(fast) ausschließlich F.

IMHO schon zu kompliziert und schon sehr nahe daran, wirklich den
Fahplan exakt abbilden zu wollen.
Was die Exaktheit betrifft, so habe ich mich wohl etwas verrannt. Wir 
sollten wohl etwas zusammengestauchtes erarbeiten ;-)



Auch von der Mapper-Seite ist es ziemlich aufwändig, die exakten Frequenzen
für die Teilstrecken zu berechnen.
Hmm, ich dachte da an Abzählen der Abfahrten/Stunde an der Haltestelle - 
oder Abfahrtafel abfotografieren und zu Hause zählen. Kannst du mir 
genauer erklären, was du als zu aufwendig empfindest?



Bist du sicher, dass das stimmt? Ich hätte erwartet, dass ein direkter
Bus von B nach D nur alle 4 Stunden fährt.
Über den ganzen Tag betrachtet, ja. Da wir aber genau Intervalle 
betrachten und (*) gilt, passt 1/2hr.

Stefan

Re: [Talk-de] Bedarf für Statistik bei OSM

2009-11-26 Per discussione Lars Francke
Moin,

 Hat jemand bedarf nach Statistiken zu OpenStreetMap oder eine Idee was
 man statistisch auswerten sollte?

die interessanteste Statistik bzw. der interessanteste Wert (für mich
jetzt) wäre ein Popularitätswert für jedes Tag welches nicht
ausschließlich auf der reinen Benutzung von Tags basiert sondern
darauf wieviele User ein Tag benutzen und ggf. auch welche User. Auch
beachtet werden sollte die Nutzungsverteilung (benutzen das 2000 Leute
wenig und 2 ganz viel oder benutzen es nur 1000 Leute aber dafür
gleichmäßig...). Es gab da vor kurzem mal eine Diskussion zu [1] -
frag mich nicht warum meine erste Mail da nicht mit bei ist.

Meine Frage/Bedarf hierzu wäre: Wie berechnet man am besten diese
Popularität unter Beachtung von Ausreißern usw.? (Mir ist durchaus
klar, dass das immer ein subjektiver Wert sein wird)

Ich bin mir ehrlich gesagt nicht 100% sicher ob das nun das ist was Du
willst oder ob das etwas ist was man irgendwie mit R macht. So oder so
klingt das hochinteressant und ich bin sehr gespannt was dabei
rauskommt (alles was ich in osmdoc.com einbauen kann tue ich gerne).
Viel Spaß!

Gruß,
Lars

Hi!


Ich kennzeichne Gefahrenstellen (allerdings eher Gefahren für Fußgänger und

[Talk-de] Beobachtungen zur Lonvia-Karte (Re: Lonvia-Karte drucken?)

2009-11-26 Per discussione Karl Eichwalder
Karl Eichwalder k...@gnu.franken.de writes:

 Das ist super.  Ich hoffe, ich kann am Wochenende so ein paar Routen
 nachtragen.

Ich konnte nordwestlich von KS (Nordhessen) ca. 20 km an Wanderrouten
neu verbuchen und die Resultate sind auf der Karte sichtbar.  Leider
gibt es dort eine Inflation an markierten Wanderwegen und folglich
erhebliche Schwierigkeiten bei der Darstellung.  Ich habe noch
keineswegs alle Routen eingetragen...

Problematisch ist die Darstellung der Strecken mitunter dann, wenn
mehrere Routen über einen Weg laufen.  Hier beispielsweise laufen drei
regionale Routen (Rec, Turned_T und Raute) auf dem gelb-orangen
Abschnitt; es wird aber nur mir Rec gekennzeichnet:

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=16lat=51.3475lon=9.41077layers=FFBT

Wenn man rauszoomt, und eigentlich weniger Platz zur Verfügung steht,
kommt es richtig raus:

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=15lat=51.3473lon=9.41071layers=FFBT

Wenn dann aber noch lokale Routen mit ins Spiel kommen, scheint
grundsätzlich nur eine regionale (Rec, Raute fehlt) und eine lokale (H4,
H3 fehlt) dargestellt zu werden (Strecke die über das Feld und unter der
Bahn hindurch geht):

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=15lat=51.36175lon=9.41934layers=FFBT

Auch wenn man reinzoomt, allerdings mit komischen Lücken:

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=16lat=51.36175lon=9.41934layers=FFBT

Den lokal-regionalen könnte man durch eigenständige Layer recht elegant
regeln.  

Weiterhin würde ich mal versuchen, ob es nicht besser wäre, die Zeichen
in einen Kontainer zu packen und dann als vertikale oder horizontale
Balken an die Routen zu pappen.  Ungefähr so:
..  
  +---+---+-+
  | 1 | 2 |3|
  +---+---+-+
..
 ..
  .
   ..
  +---+---+ .   +---+---+---+
  | A | B |=| A | B | 3 |===
  +---+---+   ..+---+---+---+
..
  .. 
  +---+---+
  | 1 | 2 |
  +---+---+
  ..   
..
 ..
  ..



Spätestens bei zoom=11, besser aber schon bei zoom=12 würde ich die
lokalen Routen (lila) gar nicht mehr darstellen:

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=11lat=51.36352lon=9.42153layers=FFBT

Spätestens bei zoom=11 sind eigentlich auch die Icons an den regionalen
Wegen nicht mehr wirklich sinnvoll.  Allenfalls ein paar wenige; in
Hessen wären das eventuell die X[1-17]-Wege.



Es wäre schön, wenn auch die tourism=information information=map
hiking=yes dargestellt würden.  Evenuell zusammen mit den Guideposts in
einen eigenen Layer.



Wir haben da einen Blindenwanderweg, den ich als Bl erscheien lasse.
Wie sollte man so etwas eintragen?

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=15lat=51.34133lon=9.41355layers=FFBT

[Talk-de] Straße wird nicht gefunden

2009-11-26 Per discussione Hannes Bäriger
Hallo zusammen,

Was ist zu tun, wenn eine Straße in Programmen nicht gefunden wird.

z.B. ist die Straße Heinrich-Heine-Straße in Erkrath nicht in Karten zu
finden, die mit NAVIT angezeigt werden
( diese Kartten wurden erzeugt unter Zuhilfenahme der Seite
http://maps.navit-project.org/download/).

Diese Straße ist aber auch nicht mittels Suche auf der Seite
http://www.openrouteservice.org/ zu finden.

Handelt es sich dabei um einen Fehler in der Anwendung, der Karte oder eine
Fehlbedienung durch mich?

gillMaping team entered data related to different shops. Very few are
being rendered. Should we have a generic symbol for shop?

shop=foo

If foo matched with something for which specific symbol (icon) is

 Sorry the disclaimer is on the Template box and additional notes below. Put

On a slightly related note, Since the map is editable by anyone and we may

anyway I found a solution - although I need help. The boundaries are *not* in 
the OSM database. They are in a separate set of files called 'world_boundaries' 
which is used by osm2pgsql to populate the database. Those files are available 
here:
$ wget http://tile.openstreetmap.org/world_boundaries-spherical.tgz (50M)

we need someone to open these files in grass or qgis and edit the Indian 
boundaries to reflect the official position. Of course we will still have 'Azad 
Kashmir', but it will be shown as inside India. Or we can add some xml rule 
not to render it. So can someone with GIS expertise please do the needful?

  Thats good. added few updates to it.
 

 please see my other post regarding boundaries in this thread - if we show
 the
 official boundaries, we do not need a disclaimer

Agreed.It would still be nice to have this part atleast.

Users may note that since this map is editably by anyone, at times there
will be inaccuracies caused by spammers and other anti-social elements.
Irrespective of borders, we can still have spammers cause damage. Preparing
for digital wars :P

but not for boundaries - that will be sitting firmly on my hard disk and no one 
can mess with them. And the map is not editable - OSM is, and a link is given, 
so their disclaimer suffices.

Se invece pensi che possa creare confusione, potremmo usare per i cartelli o 
cippi moderni un termine diverso (visto per le pietre storiche non c'è 
alternativa), del tipo route_marker=location_marker. E per le pietre miliari di 
valore storico ma ancora attuali: historic=milestone + route_marker=yes

Re: [Talk-it] tag per mensa universitaria

2009-11-26 Per discussione brunetto
 Per ora puoi accontentarti di mettere amenity=canteen. Ovviamente però
 non sarà renderizzato.

 ma no, metti anche una paginetta nel wiki, cosí si ritrova più facilmente.
 Se vuoi, puoi anche scrivere un proposal e chiedere commenti in talk (la
 lista principale in inglese, scrivi un messaggio con RFC (che significa
 Request for comments)).

ok, grazie! allora intanto taggo, appena ho due secondi vedo di capire
e produrre un proposal etc...

ultima cosa.. se si volesse inserire/creare (anche più avanti magari)
il tag per il tipo di mensa/ticket accettati? non sarebbe più un
valore di amenity, ma un tag nuovo giusto?

[Talk-it] Stradario Regione Lombardia

2009-11-26 Per discussione Giorgio Massussi
Ciao a tutti,

  sono un nuovo utente e ho cominciato a muovere i primi passi ampliando la
mappatura del quartiere in cui abito (a Brescia). Cercando nelle varie
pagine del wiki ho scoperto che la regione lombardia possiede una mappa
online (la CTR) abbastanza dettagliata e utilizzabile liberamente:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lombardia_ToDo

Ho visto però che sull'home page del portale della regione (
http://www.cartografia.regione.lombardia.it/geoportale) è apparsa una nuova
mappa (cliccate su stradario) molto ben fatta (aggiornatissima e con tutti i
nomi delle vie, anche i vicoli). Stando alla lettera di autorizzazione che
viene nominata nel wiki e alle informazioni legali riportate sul sito della
regione mi sembra di interpretare che anche questa sia utilizzabile al
nostro scopo. Interpreto giusto?

Purtroppo la mappa non è pubblicata su un WMS, ma con caching tile server
ArcGis. Ho fatto un po' di ricerche e ho trovato le api (pubbliche e
documentate) e a prima vista penso sia possibile realizzare un server WMS
locale (cioè non pubblicato in internet ma solo sulla propria macchina) per
utilizzare le mappe in JOSM o Merkaator. Qualche prova l'ho fatta (nella
vita sono uno sviluppatore) e mi sembra che l'idea funzioni. La cosa sarebbe
interessante anche solo per la CTR originale: infatti il WMS della CTR
(quello già autorizzato) è pubblicato con proiezione Montemario1, che mal si
adatta a JOSM (bisogna fare delle correzioni manuali), invece il caching
tile server sembra supportare anche altre proiezioni.

Pensate che sia una via percorribile (almeno dal punto di vista legale)?

E' una novità. Lo stile e i colori ricordano moltissimo mapnik, anche
se è chiaro che il sistema è un'altro. Si saranno ispirati.

 Pensate che sia una via percorribile (almeno dal punto di vista legale)?

Credo che, essendo questi dati pubblicati sul portale lombardo, siano
utilizzabili al pari delle CTR per derivare opere.
Se riesci a ottenere qualche risultato con i WMS, (compreso il CTR)
metti un paio di righe sulla wiki?

Ciao Simone,
si ci ho pensato eccome. Colgo il suggerimento e lo metto nel mio TODO.

Putroppo prima di cominciare a pensare ad uno stile per Mapnik devo finire di 
definire i tag per i BB.CC., poi devo proporli uno ad uno (creando le pagine 
apposite), devo disegnare le icone SVG per ogni feature ed allora si che verrà 
il momento dello stylesheet per Mapnik :D

Molto interessante, ma poco accurata. Ho controllato la mia zona vicino a 
Bergamo e ci sono molti errori nella tracciatura delle vie, mentre i nomi delle 
vie parrebbero abbastanza corretti, ma ne ho trovati un paio che si allungavano 
su vie con altro nome. Comunque sarebbe una ulteriore risorsa e spero che tu 
sia in grado di rendercela disponibile (sempre che sia legale).

[Talk-it] [WIKI] Aggiornamento 27-11-09

2009-11-26 Per discussione fradeve11

Buongiorno a tutti,
ho deciso che dedicherò un pò di tempo a sistemare - per quanto possibile - il 
wiki italiano. Cercherò di scrivere anche dei bollettini con cadenza di 15 
giorni per riferire qui in lista gli aggiornamenti e discutere le modifiche. 
Documentare è importante!!

 COS'È SUCCESSO

* è online il nuovo portale italiano

* è a metà della sua fase di traduzione/sistemazione la nuova Guida per i 
Principianti [1], punto nodale secondo me del processo di ampliamento della 
user-base che la comunità italiana dovrebbe portare avanti;

* la pagina sui progetti italiani [2] ha subito un restyling e ne subirà un 
altro nell'immediato futuro;

* come ho scritto nella pagina TODO [3], secondo me possono essere dichiarate 
deprecate le pagine IT:Editing [4] e IT:Help:Contents [5], perchè non sono 
altro che un insieme di link ridondanti con poche informazioni, visto che il nuovo 
portale sembra fornire un buon orientamento ai nuovi utenti.

* mi sono permesso di eliminare dalle pagine il Template:It:HelpMenu [6] per 
sostituirlo col più pratico e completo Template:ItalyProject [7], se siamo 
daccordo dichiariamo deprecato il primo;

* adesso _tutto_ il portale italiano ruota intorno alle 4 fatidiche domande, 
che sono il tema principale sia della pagina stessa del portale che del nuovo 
template [7].

* è stato aggiunto il template {{English}} a tutti i link che portano a pagine 
in inglese (compare la bandiera del Regno Unito accanto al link)

 COSA C'È DA FARE

Tantissimo

* c'è da finire la Guida per i Principianti
* tradurre Quality Assurance [8]

Tutto il resto lo trovate nella pagina TODO [9]

Buon lavoro a tutti!

modelli supportano ora anche questo formato) ma contiene i dati descrittivi
degli elementi della mappa. Non vedo perchè non utilizzare questo aggettivo
corretto (che permette di differenziarle dalle mappe raster per Garmin)
solo perchè il formato non è uno degli standard gis.

mgica) que se llama sendmap20 ah es solo ejecutarlo y seleccionar el
mapa osm precompilado(.img) con mkgmap y enviarlo a nuestra unidad gps
y listo :) necesitaba esto para saber que calles trazar

Hola

Maperxs bogotences

Existe la necesidad de mapear con GPS algunas zonas de Bogot que no
se encuentran visibles en la foto de yahoo como es el caso del "Siete
de agosto" [0] donde hay una nube o un incendio y se ha creado un
vaco en el mapa.

Esta sera una buena oportunidad para practicar y ayudar con
conocimiento a quienes estn empezando, la idea es hacer la actividad
la prxima semana de acuerdo a la disponibilidad de quienes quieren
participar.

Propongo hacerlo el sbado 5 en las horas de la maana, as que quien
quiera participar lo haga saber para ir organizando.

salu2

 Ahora las cuestiones:

 Yo lo dejaría así, en map_features no dice que tengamos que poner nada más

 * Al menos el limite entre La Rioja y Castilla y Leon ya esta en OSM,
 que habria que hacer con el?

 Buena pregunta, ¿se puede extraer ese límite y comparlo con el del BDLL?

Si, creo habra que comparar todos los limites que ya estan con los que
los sustituirian.  En Euskadi hay varios limites de diferentes
niveles.

Comparar todos ellos puede ser bastante trabajo y entonces si alguien
tiene una objecion general a toda la idea de importacion de los
limites (como recien se discute en la lista inglesa) me gustaria
saberlo antes de empezar :-)


 * Una relacion de una comunidad autonoma debe tener las relaciones de
 sus provincias como miembros, o solamente los limites?  Mi opinion es
 que seria muy util que tenga las dos cosas.  (Cuestion homologa
 respecto a provincias y sus municipios)

 Para mí sólo debería tener los límites.
 La relación sólo se define para su boundary

Entonces hariamos otra relacion para agrupar las subdivisiones de las areas?

Lo digo porque si quieres saber cual es la provincia de un municipio o
los municipios de una provincia, habria que buscar por el nombre que
aparece en is_in (que a veces es ambiguo) o por la geometria que
tambien a veces falla, y, vamos es dificil para automatizar.  Ademas
en otros paises se hicieron unas paginas wiki para coordinar lo de
crear las relaciones de limites administrativos (donde no se pudieron
copiar de fuentes oficiales), parecidos a la de rutas de autobus en
Madrid, y el problema de esto es que se refieren a cada relacion o via
por el id y es algo muy fragil, mucho mejor es hacer que el editor se
ocupe de mantener esas relaciones.  En JOSM incluso puedes ver un
bonito arbol de las relaciones miembros y padres.

Tambien he visto que dentro de la relacion algunos ponen el nodo de su
capital con el rol admin_centre.

 Buenas.

 * Las vias de los limites deberian tener nombres o las dejamos asi?
 Las etiquetas que tienen ahora son boundary=administrative y
 admin_level=4, 6, 8 dependiendo del nivel

 Habría que añadir por todas partes el tag
 source=BDLL25, EGRN, Instituto Geográfico Nacional.


 * Subimos estos datos a OSM o no? :)  y si los subimos, supongo que
 dejamos las fronteras internacionales para cargar aparte...

 Las fronteras de la CIA son bastante desastrosas, así que podríamos
 aprovechar para renovarlas.

Yo lo haria como un paso separado, porque primero habria que preguntar
en la lista francesa y/o portuguesa (si la hay) y ver si estan de
acuerdo.


 Sobre la línea de costa, creo que también es mejor la del BDLL25;
 al menos está menos pixelada, y distingue mejor los islotes.
 Capturas comparando la zona de Cap de Creus:
 http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1

 Yo importaría todo el perímetro como límite municipal/provincial/autonómico,
 y luego se puede ir fundiendo con las fronteras nacionales y la línea
 de costa, en función de cuál sea más precisa en cada tramo...

 * Al menos el limite entre La Rioja y Castilla y Leon ya esta en OSM,
 que habria que hacer con el?

 Hay varios ya subidos. Supongo que lo fácil es reemplazarlos todos, pero
 primero hay que asegurarse que no nos cargamos ningún trabajo mejor
 hecho.


 * Una relacion de una comunidad autonoma debe tener las relaciones de
 sus provincias como miembros, o solamente los limites?  Mi opinion es
 que seria muy util que tenga las dos cosas.  (Cuestion homologa
 respecto a provincias y sus municipios)

 Sí, podría ser útil.


 * En los datos de idee hay tres municipios sin nombres: 31817, 31818
 en Navarra y 20802 en Guipuzcoa.

 31817: Bardenas Reales de Navarra
 antigua posesión real, no forman parte de ningún término municipal y son
 propiedad de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra
 http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardenas_Reales

 31818: Parque Natural de Urbasa y Andia
 http://www.parquedeurbasa.es/?url=dondesec=39

 20802: Parzonería General de Guipúzcoa y Álava
 es una entidad local de la Provincia de Guipúzcoa que no posee el estatuto
 jurídico de municipio y que no está integrado en ningún término municipal
 http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parzoner%C3%ADa_General_de_Guip%C3%BAzcoa_y_%C3%81lava

 Por cierto, también falta el municipio de Maó/Mahón, en Menorca, que habrá
 que añadir a mano.


 * y dos provincias sin nombres en Catalunya con INE_PRO Gu y Ca --
 las he mirado en mapnik y son areas casi vacias.

 Es un fallo en la BDD, pues se trata de municipios formados por dos áreas
 disjuntas.
 Una está bien informada, y la otra, tiene cosas raras en los campos, que hay
 que
 cambiar:

 Ca es parte de Castellcir (08055), provincia de Barcelona (08), Cataluña
 (69);
 Gu es parte de Guardiola de Berguedà (08099), Barcelona (08), Cataluña
 (69).

 ¿Puedes corregirlo tú mismo en los datos?

Gracias por los datos, lo corregire y pondre el source=

El fin de semana intentare ver alguna manera automatica de poner el
tag wikipedia=, creo que con los codigos INE se podria resolver los
titulos usando los infoboxes que tienen las paginas en wikipedia que
son faciles de tratar con un script.

 Basically, you'd take the URL I showed in my last email, and add/remove
 the names from the page.  When you're putting the names in the URL, use
 all lower case letters, and use a _ instead of spaces, and you should be
 good to go.

 An example might be


 http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en?REQUEST=GetMapSERVICE=wmsVERSION=1.1.1EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimageFORMAT=image/pngLAYERS=limits,built_up_areas,constructions,road_network,railway,populated_places,structures,feature_names


 It sounds like alcamic sorcery to me... the link didnt get stuff. looks
like it needs a few %2 which makes for a space, instead?
I'll need to mess around with it to work i guess.

Would you be able to make a link that shows the whole works?
And maybe is there a way that it can just show contours (and nothing else)
as a link?


Cheers,

 Fence nebo wall přece nemusí byt uzavřené a už vůbec by asi nemělo být
 zdvojené - když tam je jen jeden plot, tak tam má byt jen jednou, navíc
 dva přes sebe se vykreslí stejně jako jeden. Toť můj názor, ani ve wiki
 není zmínka o tom, že to ma byt uzavřený, je to přece jenom čára a ne
 polygon jako building. Ale pokud by byl zájem, tak to můzu vygenerovat
 znovu bez fence jen s omezenim na highway. I kdyz osobně jsem zatím na
 toto nenarazil - asi jsem koukal na jinou část.

 Mimochodem 1-10 je opraveno

vede se nekde seznam opravenych dat?
prave sem opravil numero 100, zadne zahrady tam nebyly, jen zdvojena silnice:)
