Re: [OSM-dev] Hosting documentation for OSM related projects
I'd prefer to see documentation on the wiki, to lower the entry barrier to potential documenters! The potlatch docs are quite worth a look, its subsection of the wiki is very clearly laid out and easy to use. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev

Re: [josm-dev] downloading data along a gpx track

I would like to place a feature request here on the list. You can fill in a request in the Trac system, here: http://josm.openstreetmap.de/newticket It would be great to get only the data from JOSM, which is really important. This is mostly beside a track. Maybe 100 meters on each side around the logpoints. Would something like this be possible? I would like to help, but have no idea where to start... I can see how this might be useful if you had a long ribbon of a track. I don't think it would be particularly hard to repeatedly download an area centred on (a well chosen subset of) the points on a track. They'd be squares, not circles, around a point, and you'd always get complete ways so some will be go outside the box, but it would essentially do what you want. However, this would mean making many calls on the server instead of just one, albeit for small areas each time. Therefore I think it would probably be very slow to download, for no fault of JOSM. You can always do something approximating this manually: zoom in to the start of your track with the screen showing 100m or so on either side. Download. Move the viewed area along the track a b it and download again, and so on. Tedious for a really long track perhaps, but will do the job.

Now it seems to run fairly good, but I'm not sure I catched all area types. Currently I have: If I were you I'd write a simple script to parse a planet file and dump the tags of every way where the last node equals the first. Straighforward to write, doesn't even require memory (node id equality is sufficient, node position not required), just a few hours of cpu time. That will give you a very good idea of how people tag areas; of yourse you'll have some circular roads, roundabouts etc. as well but it should be obvious to the human being which are meant so be areas. Well. Actually roundabouts are correct. I made an unclosed way checker and no area checker. And an roundabout should be closed too :-) I will see if I find time for that at weekend. Ciao Quite a few roundabouts aren't closed. Reason being, if it goes over one road then under another, you need different way sections to get layering bridge correct.

Well, for sure the checks will produce false positives. That is always a balance between false positives and false negatives (i.e. not reported problems). The check already helped me to find a non-closed roundabout and lots of natural/build/landuse problems, so I consider it useful. Also different types are reported with different texts, so ignoring certain types is easy. Test it and report problems, when they are really disturbing. But keep in mind, that avoiding false positives always means an increase of false negatives.

When you add an item like this now item name=Streets de:name=Straßen icon=presets/motorway.png/item then it will be displayed accordingly (current SVN) The de:name is only required as long as translation is not updated. I didn't understand it yet. I have: item name=Streets/Motorway icon=presets/motorway.png label text=Edit a Motorway / ... How can I now group them together with an icon for the group? Nah, no grouping. I didn't change the data structure that much. Only add item name=Streets icon=presets/motorway.png/item above the first Streets/... item as normal item. When the item has no sub-tags (nothing meaningful between item and /item) and also no / in the name, then it will be taken as icon-supplier (actually as main preset menu initiation, which is otherwise done automatically). Add de:name=Straßen to have the german translation working (or else you get an icon Streets menu without submenus and Straßen group without icon). Or you can update translation, has same effect :-) ATM it is: item name=Streets/item item name=Streets/Motorway/item Better would be group name=Straßen item name=Motorway/item /group but that's a major change I did not want to do right now.
