Re: [OSM-talk] Very Happy - Looking forward

I wouldn't want Vespucci to draw a way based on a GPS trace. It does one better: The GPS trace is drawn as a blue line and in the background it provides Bing tiles (or map tiles, if you'd prefer those). So a way can be drawn based on a GPS trace combined with aerial imagery. OK, it's not automatic

Re: [OSM-talk] Very not happy

I understand your reaction, but this has been announced for a long time now. Around where I live and practically in all of Belgium hardly anything disappeared. This is due to the hard work of myself and others to remap non ODBL compliant stuff before the bot ran. I've also been contacting people, t

Globally. There is only one database for the whole world, so only one database server that load needs to be kept off. At night (in Europe), when it can't be supervised the redaction bot doesn't seem to run though... But maybe that's only in the beginning, when it needs to be carefully monitored. P

Hi, As you can see here, local people are becoming active themselves in Peru (and Lima): http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-pe/2012-April/thread.html Maybe you can write a mail in English to their list. At least some of them will be able to communicate in English. I'm sure they'll wel

If these people's contributions to those objects were 'negligeable' then reverting those objects may hardly have an effect. They show green so we don't have to waste precious time 'fixing' them. If what those people contributed is not present anymore in the current version, then why would other con

Re: [OSM-talk] The aim of OpenStreetView

I upload all the photos I took during my mapping journeys. I'm not a photographer and I'm sure a photographer would abhorr those pictures. Sometimes taken from a riding bicycle or a moving horse... They are meant to be informative, that's all. Openstreetview.org will never be a direct competitor t

I will be at FOSDEM as well. I can be at the stand for a couple of hours on Saturday and on Sunday. Not all the time, as I'd like to go and discover all the goodies a bit too. I just got a brand new Android Tablet on which I installed Vespucci and OsmAnd and I have some other devices which are use

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM @ FOSDEM?

I missed FOSDEM last year, what was done then? I can also help out this year. Gael Musquet asked for a stand, but I don't know what the decision of the FOSDEM team has been wrt it. I'm on their mailing list and I just perused their web site, but can't find anything. Polyglot 2012/1/4 eMerzh > H

Re: [OSM-talk] JOSM error when trying to save a local copy

Hi John, I just downloaded 4738 and I was able to save to a local file. I had some trouble adding the improveWayAccuracy plugin, but I think it's due to a flaky internet connection. After 3 retries with Update Plugins, JOSM told me they're all up to date now. Polyglot 2011/12/30 john whelan >

The numbers come from Frederik's map and some areas really look dramatic. odbl.poole.ch and http://odbl.de come to very optimistic conclusions. Possibly because they only consider the last contributor to an object or another metric which doesn't hold water. Jo 2011/12/14 Simon Poole

Re: [OSM-talk] Editing of content that will be deleted on April 1st

Critical mass is there, at a ratio of more than a 100/1 and that is of the people who had to speak out their opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a doubt the license change will proceed. So remapping makes a lot of sense from now on and I'm glad I'm not the only one who is doing it any mo
