[Talk-de] Offene Schranken
Hallo, * Jemand hat auf einer Autobahn eine Schranke gemappt (barrier=lift_gate). Vor einem Tunnel gibt es die tatsächlich. Nur ist sie halt normalerweise auf. * Mindestens eine Routingengine (OSRM) verwendet diese Tags tatsächlich, um zu routen. Oder in diesem Fall halt nicht. Das Resultat: Ich werde um den Goldbach-Lärmschutztunnel drumherumgelotst. Sicher nicht das Ziel der Erbauer des Tunnels … Was tun? * nicht mappen * als x-barrier mappen * als TODO mappen * irgendwie Öffnungszeiten angeben? * … und den Routern sagenm sie sollen Schranken mit Öffnungszeiten ignorieren -- -- Matthias ___ Talk-de mailing list Talk-de@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-de
[OSM-talk] [tagging] Graves?
Quick question: How do you tag individual graves
(either part of a cemetery, or not)?
Several cemeteries around here have graves of historic persons; it'd make
sense to tag them, if for no other reason than the fact that that the signs
leading to these graves sometimes take longer to figure out than going back
home and fetching the GPS does. (Assuming that you're not one of those
compulsory mappers who always carries one around. :-P )

I would like to share a good example of OSM coverage with you.
Thank you -- that's cool.
On the flip side, a large chunk of one of the main roads you'd take to
actually _get_there_ is missing.
Looking further left, we can see that also some of the new borders
within former Yugoslavia are missing.
Does anybody have any idea where to get them from? That's a somewhat
important feature which really needs to be in our map, IMHO.

can you summarise these with examples?
See e.g. Wikipedia.
That being said, I'd state that while IPA may be harder to type, it's
readable and mostly-pronounceable even if you don't know exactly what
e.g. an ø stands for. This cannot be said for SAMPA, where the same
sound is rendered by the letter 2 (because the French word for that
number is pronounced using that vowel sound). Other numbers and non-
lowercase ASCII is taken from other European languages, including
Russian.
Plus you can get IPA from most online dictionaries, which allow you to
look up words which sound roughly like the place you're trying to tag,
and splice that together. No knowledge of IPA required. (Somebody else
can fix it if you're unsure; add a todo=pronunciation tag, which I'm
going to add to the TODO proposal right away *g*.)

Heh. I'm not talking about the Smith family, and I agree that this would
take things a little bit too far.
My use case is there's an obscure sign at the entrance of the cemetery
which points to insert historic person's tombstone. Have fun searching
the whole 20x200 array of graves for him/her. See you tomorrow. and
related cases, where attraction=tourism is justified.

Re: [OSM-talk] short forms of street names
On Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:17:04 +0100, Tom Hughes wrote:
This is absolutely the way to do it
and it works for the general case, but not if you have a maze of short
streets with long names even when you shorten them that way.
These do require a method to specify short, and possibly shorter,
variations.
Annoying example:
Alexander-von-Humboldt-Straße = Alexander-von-Humboldt-Str (that's
automagic) = Alexander-v.-Humboldt-Str (that too, if you're good)
= Alex.-v.-Humboldt-Str = A.-v.-Humboldt-Str = A-v-Humb.-Str =
AvHumb-S (probably too much, but ...)
Of course I don't recommend that everybody hack all of these into their
maps, but if you do notice that the mappers skip too many street names
because they don't fit, going back and adding a few short versions
is *much* better than a map which omits half the names.
Thus, IMHO a multivalued short_name=* attribute would be a Good Thing.

'Cause that takes up a whole lot of disk space, not to mention another

which should be the whole point of this exercise.
we just record them ourselves. they won't all be the
same voice, accent, volume or anything else,
Not to mention understandability, while you're driving around in the
darkness and while the kids ask, for the umpteenth time, when you'll be
there, dammit.
I'd really like to hear the street names as pronounced by the people
who actually logged them, too -- but, to be useful, that kind of stuff
must be consistent.

If it isn't in the database, perhaps you can upload it?
Umm, why shouldn't it be in the database?
I assume it's been there for some time...
It's certainly conceivable that it's a sync problem, but not particularly
likely: I assume that the window between deleting an old version of a
polygon and uploading the new version is not _that_ large.

[OSM-talk] [tagging] Request for Comments: New tag: todo=*
Hello everybody,
I request your input on the more to be mapped proto-proposal at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/More_to_be_Mapped
This proposal has been dormant for a while, but I think that the feature
is desireable, if not important -- how else can somebody find areas that
need work? (The answer I know this area well enough to see at a glance
what's missing doesn't work very well, IMHO.)
