Re: [OSM-talk] OSM Emitter
Floris, thanks for feedback! We have to fix amp ;) then - we can't deal with autocorrection on phone, but we can reduce them by simplyfying tagging process (still thinking on HOW). Location fix - unfortunately we don't have any chances to automate it, guess adding a layer to MapDust can help with it - if any ideas here - would be cool to hear. -- RO 2011/7/8 Floris Looijesteijn o...@floris.nu I've added 5 POI's in Haarlem today. It's a fun way but it doesn't really work for me. Maybe it's my phone, a 2 year old HTC Magic... The 5 POI's I added were next to each other, about the same distance between them. The first POI was uploaded right on the location I added it. The next 2 were both on the same spot, about 50m wrong. The fourth was hundreds of meters off, in a different part of the city. The fifth wasn't recognized because I started my tweet with #osmit instead of ending with that.

[OSM-talk] Mapzen POI Collector Offline editing (iPhone)
Hello to all, I'm developing mapping tool for iPhone - Mapzen POI Collector. At the moment, I see pretty big amount of requests on edit the map in the offline mode. This may lead to pretty big changes inside the application and change it's behavior. So, I want to discuss side-effects here, before make a decision on implementation. My main point of problem is possible conflicts with data added offline and data, which added at the same time from different client - so, when user will try to upload the changes, conflict situation may occur. There is option to ignore such conflicts and use existing in the database data, or overwrite with user-generated data - I don't think we like to edit conflicts, not map ;) So, is there any ideas on handling this case? Of course, there is option to create some merging stage for uploading data and use it to resolve conflicts, but this leads to more complicated user experience with application and I'd like to avoid any kind of interaction except adding POIs and editing existing POIs. Maybe there is some rules for auto-merging? Also, interesting, how to handle the case, when POI added in the offline mode also been added by another mapper and - result is two exactly the same places on the map (with distance of 2 meter away each other) ? As for me - I like the idea of mapping in real time, but understand, roaming and possible signal loss puts some limits on this. It would be cool to see your thoughts here. -- RO ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
