Re: [OSM-dev] Seeking advice for OSM based routing application
Well options 2 and 4 are absolutely not feasible, assuming you are talking about using the osm.org map query API. The OSM API is for editing the map only, not for clients to query for use in some 3rd party service. Of course some small non-editing related calls get through but if you start querying a lot of data you will get blocked pretty quickly. For non edit related querying there are other services like jxapi or overpass. But even then, this does not sound like the best idea. Yeah, I was considering using an XAPI interface, but honestly I didn't realize that was the only way allowable... I was just leaning that way because of the larger area coverage allowed on a request. But yeah I agree neither of these ideas are ideal. The specific example you linked to does seem very odd. It does look like the MapQuest Open routing service behaves correctly thought: http://mapq.st/1067Po9 Good find. I had skipped over mapquest open earlier for some reason, and you're right it does work on that one. However I found some other route attempts that would not work on mapquest but WOULD work on YOURS. How confusing. See image here if you're curious. http://i.imgur.com/Rv0UNpa.jpg Both attempts in that image work on BRouter, but it doesn't have a public API, and it is really weird about starting the route far ahead of (or behind) the actual point you give it (though at least still on the same path). Looking on a couple of other routing services, the OSRM demo is set for cars only so it won't even try to go on the highway=path. No clue where the cloudmade router's head is. It will obviously use highway=path but for some reason it is refusing to transition to it right there. I can't figure out why either. Thanks for your input anyway. I have the mapquest one working in my app already... was very easy to set up. Just doesn't work for half the routes I want it to. Considering having my application make both a mapquest open AND a YOURS request, and then internally judge which one is better and present that to the user. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
[OSM-dev] Notes Branch
Hey Getting some renewed interest in the Notes features. Curious to know the outlook on the notes branch deployment. Are these the remaining issues? What can we do to help? https://github.com/tomhughes/openstreetmap-website/issues Also wondering about API. Assume that it's differeing from this? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBugs/API Is authentication required for note creation? Will it be possible for an external app to post on behalf on non-OSM users?

[OSM-dev] Getting lat and long from an address

Re: [OSM-dev] mod_tile in other projections?
Mod_tile does have projection baked-in: https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/blob/master/renderd.py#L163 You may find it necessary to play with the scale of your projection so that the units of spherical mercator (equatorial meters) approximately match yours. For example, an Albers projection with a standard parallel in the continental United States would be scaled up a bit to get the numbers to match. -mike.

If not, then would it be possible/how difficult would it be to modify the code to support it? The only other thing I can think of is using MapProxy with Mapnik backend but I'm not sure the scalabilty/performance compared to mod_tile.

See image here if you're curious. http://i.imgur.com/Rv0UNpa.jpg To follow up on my own post, in case anybody is reading this in the future and wondering: I got in touch with both mapquest and YOURS. The reason for the hiccup on mapquest is a known bug which will be fixed at some point. With YOURS, it is a result of outdated map data which will be updated very soon. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Those sorts of security checks could be enforced both by the script that converts from the JSON files to the JOSM XML format and by the admins merging pull requests from users. I'm not trying to force a change on JOSM, but I think it would benefit the OSM community as a whole to consolidate work on this sort of information that's used by the editor. ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
