 Zoom out on that map, we loaded all of India for that map.

I did. Go to Ludhiana, and try to reach our college, GNDEC; you will
get nothing.

It does not have permanent link; else  I have given you URL.

 Anyway, it's very much a work in progress. The idea is to provide means for
 many renderings of India OSM, and update data regularly. My thought to
 manage the different styles was to use GitHub, with a subdirectory for each
 style, and in carto. I'm doing this already for another project on another
 server, and it works pretty well.

 If anyone wants to push this forward, happy to collaborate.

I will let you know, after studying.

But I must say, style is stunning.

[Talk-in] Google Summer of Code

-- Forwarded message --
From: Graham Jones grahamjones...@gmail.com

Hi All,
I am pleased to announce that OSM has been accepted to participate in
this year's Google Summer of Code programme
(http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/osm).

Thanks to all of you who have contributed to our ideas page
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012), which
supported the application.

Over the next few weeks we can expect potential students to review the
ideas page and contact us to seek clarification on ideas or guidance
on how to develop them.
Ian Dees has set a good example in responding to such requests
positively, and with a steer that a good start is to learn a bit about
mapping.

I would be grateful if you would again review the ideas list and
provide any clarifications that may help students in producing a
project proposal from them.
I would also like to hear from anyone that would be prepared to act as
a mentor on this year's programme.

I will do a bit more work on a wiki page that I have started on the
process I propose to follow for this year's GSoC
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Processes),
and send another update email so you know what we will be doing.

Thanks again for your support.

Regards


Graham.

Administered by a coordinating board made up of 13 ministry-level agencies
headed by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the campaign is

On Internet mapping alone, over one thousand violations had been recorded
since 2008, an unidentified official with the Bureau told the Legal Daily on

You can now instead use the Germany branch as a starting point. That

[Talk-in] A-GPS as GPS

2010-05-29 Per discussione H.S.Rai

For mapping mobiles with GPS are seems to be good resource. My question is:

It seems that Android will rule and Linux bases mobiles may not become
a reality.

Can A-GPS be used as GPS?

Background of this question is as:

In market there are many Android (unable to find Linux bases) based mobiles:

LG GW620 Rs. 15500/-
Samsung Glaxy Spica GT i5700 13000/-
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 31500/-

All are having A-GPS, and sales man says one need to subscribe and pay
monthly for use of navigational through A-GPS.

However, my impression is that A-GPS should also be able to used as
GPS (not working indoor and long fixing time), but sales person can
confirm that.

Is there anyone who uses A-GPS as GPS and confirm that A-GPS on such
mobiles can be used as GPS or vendor has restricted that option.

I will visit Bangalore next week. I located CIS office (

But could not find Visthar.http://www.visthar.org/contact-us/ couldn't help
me. If anyone can
give me latitude and longitude of Visthar, and names of streets. roads
around CIS office and Visthar will help me a lot.

For Joint Punjab Mapping Project I need to purchase 10 units GPS
Data Loggers. Please suggest which make and model I should buy.

My foremost requirement is to get transferred data (GPS logs,
WayPoints) from units to Linux loaded PC / Laptop. Till date I have
used Garmin GPSmap 76CSx, Garmin eTrex H, Garmin  Geko 201, RoyalTek
GPS Data Logger RBT2300. For all above except 76CSx, I have to use M$

For what to do, use wiki, diary, or personal notes, don't use OSM's

 the brakets are
 loaded with name:hi,pb,bn,etc and also with
 is_in:state,country,district,etc. and pin_codes. (most OSM india is still on
 unedited AND data)
 otherwise i/we have to digg josm place tag and see which is very very slow.
 the default OSM/mapnik is what everyone refers to so its fine to use that as

That mean we undervalue significance of proper tagging.

[Talk-in] Naming in Hindi / Punjabi

I hope within a week or so, OSMI will able to render in local
language. By default, will it render in English or Hindi.

What about regional languages?

How we should name?

At moment name has been entered in Hindi and English for one tag, for
many features, like:

name: Hindi name (English Name)

I feel that is not the right approach.

We should tag:

name English name
name:in Hindi Name
name:pb Punjabi Name

Then rendering rule should able render as per our choice.

Let us decide how to name so that we get desired result when OSMI

 I disagree. This is very helpful as it helps both english literate and

 The multi language tagging surely helps. Unless we have multiple
 language renderer's this will not be helpful.
 The right question to be asked is should we have one renderer per language
 if yes then how do we implement it?

 Could not find, how to use Navigation. Is it operational?

[Talk-in] url-redirection-for-cities

  Since we have a nice .in domain, can we set up a URL redirection something 
 like

 openstreetmap.in/chennai -- zooms to 
 http://www.openstreetmap.in/?zoom=11lat=13.06769lon=80.22032layers=B

 we can have URLs for major cities and well mapped towns to start with. We can 
 have it for states too.

When search function implemented, this one and Quick link (presently
on main page, having links to Ooty and Chennai) will become redundant.

 No.I guess fancy URLs will help web crawlers which can give us more
 visibility on search and give hits. I am working on the quick links page
 which will contain links to cities / states and places that are well mapped
 and might interest people. Ex:- Coimbatore Golf Course or Tirupati Hills.
 This can also be a place for visibility where other people in the community
 can know what has been mapped well.
