Hello Jozef,

I don't believe this is the right list to ask about Cloudmade services. I
have forwarded your email to our support team, you should hear from them

Dag allemaal,

Ik ben Paul Cardinaels, 25 jaar en ik ben al enkele jaren bezig met mappen

Eerst heb ik de omgeving van Neerpelt gedaan, en nu wil ik beginnen aan de

Omdat ik verhuisd ben kan ik de TomTom van mijn ouders niet meer gebruiken,
en ben ik dus op zoek naar een goedkope GPS reciever (navigatie is niet
nodig) met USB-aansluiting die in .gpx-formaat kan opslaan.
Hebben jullie suggesties? Ik heb al naar Garmin gekeken maar die zijn best
prijzig.

I have a Garmin Gecko 201.
But you could get a GPS-tracker. It costs about 80 euro.
Or a GPS-receiver, but you need a cellphone or laptop for the data.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Alternate bus routes

2009-12-01 Thread Denis Jacquerye
You can create a new relation with the alternate path and the parameter
state=alternate (see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route). Maybe add a note
to the description parameter. If the reference is the same, keep it
that way, but if the name is different use it for the name parameter.

Several tram/bus routes have variants. Often the reference name is the
normal one but with a stroke (that's hard to represent). For example
tram 92 in Brussels can sometimes be 92 (stroked) when it only does
part of the usual route.

So far I've only tagged the alternate parts of route like this.
Maybe we should add the rest of the route, or use super-relations
(include all the variations of a route relations into one relation).

 Hello everyone,

 I'm new to this list but I've been doing some mapping in Brussels for
 a few months.

 Recently, I have been tracking bus stops in my area and found an
 interesting case: the bus line 41 from the STIB/MIVB.
 Its route happens to be different on weekdays and during the weekend,
 due to the closing of the Bois de la Cambre for all vehicle traffic.

 On the digital screens outside and inside the bus is written 41 dévié
 fermeture bois / 41 omgeleid sluiting bos. There are hard stops (with
 shelters and all) on both routes.

 So... how should I tag this alternate route and its stops?
 a) Make a new relation for the weekend route, tagged with a made-up
 line number (41d or something) ?
 b) Make a new relation only for the part of the route which differs
 during the weekend, tagged the same way?
 c) Add both routes to the existing relation?

 I think b) would render the best on ÖPVN-Karte, but is maybe not so
 useful for other tools (a trip planner for example). a) would be more
 interesting for other tools but look odd on the map. And c) would be
 plain confusing for everyone.

 What do you think?

2009-12-01 Thread Luc Van den Troost
Dag Paul,


Als het enkel is om je tracks te loggen en te gebruiken kan je
- een gps receiver kopen - het goedkoopst - die de data doorstuurt naar
laptop of dergelijke en ze dan loggen op de laptop,
- een tracker nemen, die hetzelfde kan, maar ook zelfstandig de data kan
opslaan.

Op deze pagina van gpsshop vindt je een vrij uitgebreid overzicht van
dergelijke apparaten
http://www.gpsshop.be/category/3891/gps-ontvangers.html

Zelf gebruik ik de deze
http://www.gpsshop.be/product/64706/category-3891-gps-ontvangers/qstarz-bt-q1000x-travel-recorder-bluetooth-gps-ontvanger.html

Die heeft een erg lange batterij-levensduur en kan ook erg veel
trackpoints opslaan. Ik geloof dat ik met 1 punt per seconde toch wel
makkelijk een hele dag kan tracken.

De software die erbij geleverd is is windows only, en werkt enkel via de
usb kabel, maar er is ook een gratis tool te vinden die met mac en linux
overweg kan en bovendien ook via bluetooth werkt.

De laatste tijd track ik eerder met m'n smartphone, een HTC Hero, van
waaruit ik m'n tracks meteen kan doormailen in gpx formaat.

Luc / Speedy

PS. Heb zelf al een beetje gedaan in de omgeving van Hoogstraten Meerle,
maar je zit in een omgeving waar nog best veel werk aan is ;-)

It is about http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=51.0466lon=5.0184zoom=13

The street is called Diestsebaan between Diest and Veerle-Laakdal. The
way is also tagged as cycleway. Because I use josm the way was drawn as
a cycleway. In the online editor everything looks correct.

Is it not better to have a seperate way as lane for bikes ? If I am not
mistaken the lane is seperated from the road by trees, but I am not sure
there.

I think I did. I think it serves no purpose, also, it was connected wrong on 
most 
of the junctions. After reading a bit, I found a page (from Ben?) that 
describes it
not being a good idea do to so. 

I also think it should never ne drawn seperate, as, logically it's the same 
road, 
fysically it's just seperate built there for the purpose of it being a very 
dangerous 
road, and to provide some form of protection to cyclists.

 I read this like cloudmade could use their maps for their own purposes
 without redistributing it, or they have to put their maps under cc-by-sa 2.0
 as well. Or did I misunderstand something?

 Well...does showing a map on a website mean you are distributing it?

 That's somewhat disputed in the US.  If you're not distributing it,
 then you're publicly displaying it.  But most courts have said it's
 distribution, despite the fact that people arguing for public
 display have a better legal argument :).

 CC-BY-SA doesn't seem to have any provision for public display of
 modified versions.  Which I suppose technically means you're not
 allowed to do it at all.

doesn't it?

section 4b: You may distribute, **publicly display**, publicly
perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under
the terms of this License, ... (emphasis mine)

i don't see what the fuss is about - cloudmade's tiles are CC BY-SA,
cloudmade's site isn't. you can redistribute a screenshot containing
only tiles under CC BY-SA. you can't distribute a screenshot of the
whole site, as that would contain non-CC BY-SA stuff. although i'm
sure if you asked nicely, cloudmade wouldn't mind.

as richardf pointed out, the legalese could be clearer. but to me it's
already clear enough.

Re: [OSM-talk] Path vs footway vs cycleway vs...

2009-12-01 Thread Mike Harris
This may be too England-oriented to be generally useful but for what it is
worth ...

If the area of grass is a meadow or park over which there exists a large
number of equivalent 'invisible' routes that could physically walked I would
only use an area tag such as 'meadow' or 'park' and add 'path' for visibly
walked routes.

BUT ... and it is a big BUT in England and Wales ... if the area is crossed
by a 'public right of way' (e.g. a 'public footpath') as defined in England
and Wales then I would map the line of this (if known from acceptable
sources) as highway=footway, designation=public_footpath, surface=grass,
etc. whether or not the way was visible on the ground.

My reasoning is (a) that it is useful and perhaps important to record the
line of a way where the public has the legal right to walk and (b) that in
practice many - and in some areas the majority - of public footpaths that
cross pastures / fields / meadows (in particular), parkland (sometimes) and
even arable / cropped land (sometimes) are not visible on the ground (even
though in the case of arable land this is usually an illegal obscuration).
This is so much the case that it applies quite often in my area even to
named long-distance routes and to omit the segments would create unnecessary
and misleading breaks in the continuity of a 'route' relationship.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth ..

Mike Harris

 Well, I didn't know landuse tags were routable.  And 
 landuse=meadow sounds to me like a terrible tag (meadow is 
 not a type of usage of land).
 
 But I think the key difference is that the area of land is 
 located in a right of way.  And a second key difference is 
 that it's useful for routing purposes.
 
  I tend to think paths should be limited to elongated 
 areas, designed 
  for or used typically for travel (other than for large 
 vehicles like 
  cars), with usually a constant or slowly varying width. There's

 I'd say this strip of land qualifies by that definition.  
 Length, about 80 meters.  Width: about 10-15 meters.  Used 
 quite often for pedestrian travel (it's the way you get to 
 the park, plus school children regularly walk across it on 
 their way to/from school).  The width is fairly constant.
 
 Frankly, I don't see much point in using an area, unless 
 you're going to use an area for basically everything.  I was 
 kind of being sarcastic about that.  But whatever.

The routing has avoided the bridge Tullbron which is a bridge which is
perfectly fine to drive on. I get the same route for both fastest and

Well the data for a route via the bridge Tullbron looks fine to me. It
definitely looks like it's related to the bridge itself though. If I move
A to somewhere in the middle of the short way immediately east of the
bridge (4472673) then it still avoids the bridge. If I place both A and
B on the bridge it doesn't resolve to a route. Nor if I straddle A and
B over each end of the bridge. So, my guess is that the bridge isn't in
Cloudmade's underlying routing data for some reason.

 B over each end of the bridge. So, my guess is that the bridge isn't in
 Cloudmade's underlying routing data for some reason.


+1. Looking on other places on the map I guess the data is at least 1 week
old.

  Edit the coastline so that it joins the islands instead of separating
  them

 but won't this operation make one island instead of 2 that they are?
 If they're joined by dry land, they're not technically two islands are
 they?


well, if the road surface is dry, but below the water goes/differs through
the embankmenk/causeway, I probably wouldn't consider that dry land. I
would consider it 2 islands with a connection.

It would be helpful to have the URL of somewhere where this happens - i.e.

[OSM-talk] cloudmade maps copyright terms and conditions

2009-12-01 Thread Martin Koppenhoefer
Hi all,

I'm aware that this topic is somehow delicate, but I was quite astonished
when I had a look at Cloudmade's Terms and Conditions

The claim copyright on graphics and design and restrict just the map data to
cc-by-sa. IMHO that inhebits e.g. that I take a screenshot of their map and
put it on my website. Looking at the legal faq in the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ
If I have data derived from OSM data, do I have to distribute it? The
licence does not force you to distribute or make any data available. But if
you do choose to distribute it, or anything derived from it, it must be

I read this like cloudmade could use their maps for their own purposes
without redistributing it, or they have to put their maps under cc-by-sa 2.0

To quote from the wikipedia link I included

Especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the term meadow is commonly
used in its original sense to mean a haymeadow; grassland cut annually for
hay

I cannot see the difference between grassland cut annually for hay and
hay production. By definition a meadow is not used for grazing (or there
wouldn't be any hay) and only informally for recreation (lovers in the
grass).

Note the same wikipedia link defines 'pasture' where the land use is
grazing.

It is not adding any data to the map or changing the map

[OSM-talk] Non-junctioning crossing roads

2009-12-01 Thread Steve Bennett

  Is it ever correct for two roads to cross physically, at the same level,
but not create a junction between them?

The situation I have looks like:

  C
 |
A---+---B
 |
 v

 D

With apologies for ASCII art. Cars go from A to B, or from C to D, but they
can't turn. It's controlled by traffic lights. So, do I create the junction
represented by the +, or just let them cross over? If I create the junction,
how do I stop routing software trying to make turns?

It's here if want to see it (Nearmap imagery):

In your special case I guess it would be OK to not create a junction.
That will however lead to (false) warnings in OSM data validators and
there is a chance that someone else will insert that junction later
on, so I'll recommend putting the junction there now and use
restriction relations. (e.g. only_stright_on)

Yes there should be a node at the crossing.

Most of those ways are one way , so routing software would not allow many  
turns anyway.  The only turn I could see being currently as valid would be when 
going south on Lakeside Drive and turning right onto the northbound 
carriageway.  To stop this you need a turn restriction relation.

Martin's comment above made me think about how participating in
OpenStreetMap has changed my perspective.  That we can look at a map
and observe that the data is perhaps one week out of date is amazing
to me. I can't imagine saying / hearing that before my participation

So if, in fact, CloudMade has week-old data that is giving sub-optimal

ourselves and them.  Look at how much we have come to expect from our
maps.  We must be doing something right.

Be careful. The question about the junction node is NOT about routing
but about physical modeling. Even if both roads are not allowing
turning left or right, you have to add a junction node (and the
relations about turning restrictions), othewise we will interpret them
as being at different levels and perhaps the tags layer and bridge
are missing. It is the same if a road is crossing a railway : add a
junction node if they are at the same physical level (then add the tag
junction=crossing or level_crossing) and DON'T create a junction node
if they are at different levels (then add the tags bridge/tunnel/layer
as usual).

[OSM-talk] opencyclemap and car directions

2009-12-01 Thread arno
Hi,
I was told today by a bicycle commuter that openstreemap is interesting but 
unsuccessful because opencyclemap is wrong.

His point was:
opencyclemap show the directions for cars but not for cyclists:
in his city, there are a lot of streets where car can only go one way, but 
cyclists can go both.
These streets are correctly mapped (have the 
cycleway=opposite_lane|opposite_track|opposite) but on cyclemap layer, are 
still represented as oneway on opencyclemap.

So, I explained the difference between data and its representation, and I 
explained that that osm is not unsuccessful. But I also understand my 
interlocutor point of view: opencyclemap is supposed to be a cyclist map, but 
it shows directions for cars.

So, I was wondering if you knew why this is the way it is ?

That search shows you as the fourth result that it is a rejected feature.

Apparently more people didn't find it worthwhile to pursue that tag
separately.


IMHO it is a very important difference that the causeway is
frequently below water (tides). Hence it should be marked different.

Where do you get the idea that a causeway is periodically inundated from?
There certainly are some that are inundated at high tide, but a lot of them
are not.

1) If the raised bank crosses a lake or the sea, it is called a causeway.
2) If the raised bank crosses a dry valley or a valley with a smal creek, 
it
is called an embankment.
3) If the raised bank crosses a swamp or marsh, it can be called either a
causeway or an embankment.

Ergo: the English language is fuzzy about the difference.

Even the rendering example on the embankment=yes wiki page is about a 
cycleway
crossing a lake.

If you really want to tag them differently it probably more in line with 
other
OSM tags, to tag it as embankment=causeway. See e.g. the bridge=viaduct 
tag.

Actually if you read most definitions closely, it's not that fuzzy. The 
causeway is the byway. It can be on an embankment or some other raised 
structure, such as low piles (concrete pillars). It can be over water, 
swamp, or sand.

An embankment is a man-made structure, usually earthen or gravel, it can 
be built on dry or wet land or in water. An embankment doesn't necessarily 
include a byway of any type. A levee is an embankment, as is a dike, as is 
the stadium seating at a local high school athletic field.

I personally don't think embankment=causeway is appropriate. I might go 
the other way, i.e., causeway=embankment, to distinguish if from a 
causeway built on piles (causeway=bridge?). Or, just causeway=yes, 
embankment=yes.

But, I'm responding in two different talk threads. Here, and where this 
belongs, under tagging.

If they're joined by dry land, they're not technically two islands are 
they?

Well, they were before the embankment was created, and they might very 
well have different names. Would you say it is a single island with two 
names in that case. and then tag the area way with name_1 and name_2, even 
though the names only apply to one weight on each end of the dumbell?

I think the islands and the embankment should be defined by three 
different, but adjoining (common nodes at each end of the embankment) areas.

Re: [OSM-talk] connection between 2 islands

2009-12-01 Thread Stephen Hope
I think this is a case where the different versions of English are not
quite the same. To me:

A ford is a crossing that is usually underwater all the time. However
the water is shallow enough that you can cross anyway, just expect to
get a bit wet.  It may be dry if the whole river dries up, or unsafe
to cross if flooding, but this is not the usual state.

A causeway is a crossing that is built up above the usual water level,
so you can usually cross dry.  This may be an embankment or concrete
slab with culverts under it for the usual water flow, or a very low
bridge/pier structure.  However, when high water comes, water is
expected to flow over the causeway as well as under it. It may or may
not still be crossable depending on flow.

A bridge is built high enough above the water that there is an
appreciable gap between it and the water level, and water is not
expected to cover it at any time. However, a structure like this that
is on a continuous series of pillars (like a pier) instead of some
sort of arch structure may still be called a causeway, even if there
is no chance of it ever flooding.

IMHO, the US English/Australian English issue here is spurious. Australians
certainly understand and use the word ford to mean a low water crossing.
We also use the word causeway to mean an embankment with a road on top of
it. We sometimes also use the word causeway to mean a ford (particularly
when it's usually dry), but that's not very important here, or particularly
confusing.

Secondly, since a causeway is just an embankment with a road on top, why not
just map it that way? Either mark the causeway as an area, and draw a
separate road, or draw a road and mark it embankment=yes.

example, the cycleway debate is actually easier to understand because
cycleway doesn't really mean anything in Australian English. If it was
bike path, we'd have much stronger feelings about what is and isn't a bike
path.


 so i prefer *not* using causeway, because it has two distinct meanings
 whereas embankment only has one


Yes...but embankment != causeway. (A causeway is an embankment with a
road...)

[OSM-talk] Halcyon/MapCSS question

2009-12-01 Thread Steve Bennett
How do you make a style that depends on two attributes? Eg,
highway=residential *and* cycleway=lane?

I know that this works:

way[highway=residentia] { ... }
way[cycleway=lane] { ... }

And the two will be combined, if that makes sense. But how do you make the
style depend on that specific combination?

[talk-au] What to tag Rays Lane?

2009-12-01 Thread cam_daw
Was doing a survey around the outskirts of Thirlmere (a small town in
NSW), and came across a difficult road to survey and tag.

It's called Rays Lane
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.15725lon=150.56322zoom=16layers=B000FTF

It has 6 gates, 3 of which are usually closed - to help control any
cattle that may be roaming about.

The middle gate
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/569088596
Is in-between where most of the properties / driveways are, and hasn't
been opened in what looks like a few years.
As a consequence, the asphalt road is now more of a moss + soil + fallen
tree barricade.

I've tagged that section of road that's overgrown as being: disused =
yes

Does anyone know of any better tags for this section of road?

I've some (geotagged) photos to help
http://rhubarb.us.to/rays_lane/


Also, what's the best thing to do when you've discovered that 2 ends of
the same road have slightly different spellings on their physical road
signs?
I've tried to tag the road as best I can
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/45369647
Do you think it'd be best to speak with the council about this?

Thanks in advance,
Rhubarb - The guy that finds difficult roads to survey :P

You can guess at which is correct, you can split the way and tag the
ends with the different names, you can pester the council responsible
to find out if the signs are correct and/or report the problem to

It seems to be even easier now with the 2555 build of JOSM. The built in

Re: [Talk-br] Dúvida sobre o OSM

2009-12-01 Thread Arlindo Pereira
Fernando,

uma coisa importante a se ressaltar é que a licença do OpenStreetMap é
aberta, mas os dados utilizados na confecção dos mapas também devem ser. Por
este motivo, não é possível utilizar dados do Google Maps nem de sites que
utilizem o Google Maps para obter seus dados (por exemplo Wikimapia), pois
os dados do Google Maps são de empresas de cartografia (Navteq e afins) que
não disponibilizam seus dados livremente. Mesmo no caso do Yahoo!, temos um
acordo para usarmos as imagens da satélite, mas não os mapas cartográficos.

Espero que essa restrição não diminua a sua vontade de contribuir no
OpenStreetMap. Para saber um pouco mais sobre o motivo dessa restrição,
recomendo http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FAQ e principalmente
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Copyright_Easter_Eggs.

[]s

2009/11/30 Bráulio Bezerra da Silva brauliobeze...@gmail.com

 Há três modos de traçar ruas:

 - Fotos aéreas do Yahoo! - as fotos são boas em Duque de Caxias. Use o
 Potlatch (o editor em Flash acessado pelo menu Editar na parte de cima da
 página do site do OSM). Porém, as fotos não são atuais.

 - GPS - se você tiver GPS e quiser passear um pouco, pode passar pelas ruas
 e depois importar os traços GPS e basear-se neles para criar as ruas.

 - Importar dados de domínio público -- se a prefeitura tiver e
 disponibilizar o pessoal aqui que já fez importações pode ajudar.

 Para mapear Natal, por exemplo, até agora só usei basicamente as fotos do
 Yahoo!, o que eu lembro de cabeça e fotos de lugares encontrados pela
 Internet (no flickr, por exemplo).

 2009/11/30 Fernando Caldas fernandoccal...@gmail.com

 Olá pessoal.

 Tenho alguns mapas feitos no googlemaps e gostaria de passar para o OSM.
 Ví que em Duque de Caxias não tem nenhuma rua delimitada. Por onde começo?

 Tenho alguns exemplos em
 http://www.caxiasdigital.com.br/mapas/caxias/
 http://www.caxiasdigital.com.br/mapas/caxias/BairrosD1/
 e este de transporte público
 http://www.caxiasdigital.com.br/mapas/stopbus/

 Gostaria de saber se é possível fazer a mesma coisa no OSM.

 Fiz essa ferramenta para achar endereço clicando sobre o mapa, talvez seja
 útil para delimitação de bairros.
 O Brasil é um dos poucos países que funciona o reversegeocoder.
 Podem usar em suas próprias máquinas ou melhor, devem. É só baixar os

Você fez de maneira correta. O problema é que a restrição de conversão é

Se não me engano o novo mapzen deveria facilitar a criação de restrições.

talvez não tenha sido muito claro em minhas idéias. O que cogitei foi o uso

http://www.caxiasdigital.com.br/mapas/tools/achaendereco.html
Na realidade nem sei se serviria.

No caso de transporte público e focos de dengue, pretendo apenas usar o OSM.
Os dados seriam fornecidos pelas Secretarias correspondentes. A questão
seria como despertar o interesse deles para o fornecimento destes dados e a
atualização dos mesmos. Foi quando veio a idéia da ONG. Mas revisitando o
site www.prefeituralivre.com.br , eles já lançaram o módulo de controle de
vetores. Apenas não ví como funciona. Mas é uma excelente iniciativa.

Na realidade é melhor começar a colocar a mão na massa e aprender com a
ferramenta. Aprender a fazer uma rótula seria muito mais importante no
momento.

 Não sei se o software de roteamento reconhece isso, mas se não

Re: [Talk-de] Datenherkunft sinnvoll angeben

2009-12-01 Thread Markus
Liebe Kenner der Materie,

Nachdem meine Anfrage nun seit Monaten Kreise zieht, habe ich mal den 
Betreff geändert und ein konkretes Ziel formuliert:

*Wie kann ein Anwender die Datenherkunft sinnvoll angeben*

Mit sinnvoll meine ich:
- als Werbung für OSM
- informativ
- verständlich
- unserer (aktuellen) Lizenz entsprechend

Die Antworten sollten in einer Wiki-Seite
*Datenherkunft richtig angeben*
konkret, beispielhaft, bildlich und nachvollziehbar beschrieben sein.

Damit wir bei einer Anfrage den Anwender darauf hinweisen können und er 
dort eindeutig erfährt, was er in welchem Fall konkret tun muss.
Diese Wikiseite sollte möglichst viele Anwendungsfälle abdecken.
Zumindest die wichtigsten und häufigsten 80..90%.

Ich hatte vor drei Monaten mal einen laienhaften Entwurf gemacht, wie so 
etwas aussehen könnte. Da aber die Lizenzdiskussion damals so komplex 
und für mich verwirrend war und ich kein Jurist bin, hatte ich ihn nicht 
auf die Liste gestellt.

Ich füge es unten mal an - vielleicht hilft es ja als Grundlage für:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Datenherkunft_richtig_angeben

Gruss, Markus

- - - -

Liebe Juristen,

da wir ja eine freie Weltkarte erstellen, gehe ich immer davon aus, 
dass diese genau das ist was wir sagen, nämlich *frei*.

Dass also jede/r unsere Arbeit nutzen darf, wenn er bei seiner Arbeit 
darauf hinweist, dass er die Daten bzw. Karten von uns hat.

Da ich juristische Formulierungen oft nur sehr schwer bis nicht 
verstehe, würde es mir (und anderen) helfen, wenn ich im Wiki 
entsprechende Fallbeispiele finden könnte, aus denen ich auch Tendenzen 
für weitere Fälle ableiten kann.

Beispiele für solche Anwendungsfälle:

_Screenshot und Permalink zur Karte_
Jeder darf aus der OSM-Webite einen Screenshot von der Karte machen, 
diesen als Bild auf seine Website stellen, und das Bild direkt mit einem 
Permalink auf die OSM-Karte verlinken.

In diesem Fall braucht er keine weiteren Angaben machen, denn der 
Permalik führt automatisch und direkt zu OSM und damit zu allen 
relevanten Lizenz-Angaben.

Gern gesehen sind jedoch Bildüberschiften wie:
- Standort in Openstreetmap
- Anfahrt mit Openstreetmap
- unser Urlaubsort in Openstreetmap
oder ähnlich.

_Selbst erfasste Daten an Dritte weitergeben_
Daten die ich selbst erfasst habe, darf ich Dritten jederzeit zur 
beliebigen Nutzung weitergeben. Wenn ich beispielsweise feststelle, dass 
im Strassenverzeichnis einer Gemeinde ein anderer Name steht als auf dem 
Strassenschild, dann darf ich das der Gemeinde sagen.
Ich kann mich auch mit anderen in einer (virtuellen) Gruppe zusammentun, 
um solche Unsgereimtheiten gemeinsam aufzuspüren und sie Dritten zu melden.

_Von Dritten zur Überprüfung freigegebene Daten nutzen_
Jeder darf solche Daten im Rahmen deren Lizenzvereinbarung frei nutzen.
Beispielsweise darf man ein Strassenverzeichnis der Gemeinde, das diese 
zur Verfügung stellt, um damit die Strassenschilder zu überprüfen, dafür 
nutzen. Man darf Unstimmigkeiten zwischen OSM-Daten, Strassenschild und 
Strassenverzeichnis abgleichen und darf das Ergebnis in OSM eintragen. 
Auch die Gemeinde darf das Ergebnis in ihr Strassenverzeichnis eintragen 
und ihr Strassenschild ggf. austauschen.
Man kann sich auch mit anderen in einer (virtuellen) Gruppe zusammentun, 
um solche Unsgereimtheiten gemeinsam aufzuspüren und sie Dritten zu melden.

_Slippymap auf Website einbinden_
Jeder darf die OSM-Karte als Slippymap in seine Website einbinden.

In diesem Fall braucht er keine weiteren Angaben machen, denn diese sind 
in der Slippymap bereits enthalten und führen automatisch und direkt zu 
allen relevanten Lizenz-Angaben.

_Kartenausschnitt verbreiten_
Jeder darf beliebige Kartenausschnitte in Papierform oder elektronisch 
nutzen und verbreiten, auch kommerziell.

In diesem Fall genügt, wenn er den Begriff Openstreetmap verwendet und 
diesen direkt zu OSM verlinkt.
Oder alternativ, wenn er eine der folgenden Formulierungen verwendet:
- Karte von Openstreetmap.org
- Geo-Daten von Openstreetmap.org

_OSM-Karte für eigene Anwendungen nutzen_
Jeder darf die OSM-Karte (Mapnik, Osmarender, etc) als Basiskarte 
nutzen, um damit eigene Anwendungen zu erstellen.

In diesem Fall genügt, wenn er auf jeder seiner Anwendungen eine der 
folgenden Formulierungen verwendet und diese direkt zu OSM verlinkt:
- Karte von Openstreetmap.org
- Basiskarte von Openstreetmap.org
- Geo-Daten von Openstreetmap.org

_HowTo_
Idealerweise sind solche Anwendungsbeipiele so formuliert, dass der 
Anwender ihnen möglichst einfach entnehmen kann, was genau er in seinem 
Anwendungsfall tun muss, um unsere Geschäftsbedingungen einzuhalten.
Erforderlichenfalls mit dem Angebot, bei unserer Kunden-Arbeitsgruppe 
nachzufragen. Gibt es sowas schon? also eine Stelle, wo der Webmaster 
einer kleinen Gemeinde nachfragen kann?

Ich freue mich über jeden, der OSM auf seiner Website nutzt
und über jede Zeitung, die ihren Artikel mit OSM illustriert!

Gruss, Markus

 Wer interpretiert da wo und wie? Ist mir noch nirgends untergekommen das da

 Maßnahmen.

Das du das so machst, kann ja sein, aber 3 Mapper, 5 Meinungen...
In diesem Zusammenhang verweise ich auf den Thread vom 20.06.2009. Seitdem 
mappe ich Breite nur noch, wenn es eindeutig ist: Fluss, Radweg, Fussweg,  
Track.

 Außerhalb von Ortschaften kann schonmal keiner igendetwas
 abweichendes erfassen, zumindestens da kann es ausnahmslos nur die Fahnbahn
 betreffen.

Unter der Voraussetzung, dass da nicht jemand den straßenbegleitenden 
Rad/Fußweg mit bicycle=track mappt und mitrechnet, wie du selbst weiter unten 
schreibst, hast du recht...


  Die Breite einer Straße ergibt sich da eher aus der Anzahl der
  Fahrspuren.

 Wie das? Das ist wie messen mit dem Hufeisen oder Salami in die Turnhalle
 werfen. Aus der Anzahl der Fahrspuren kann man nichtmal ansatzweise
 irgendwas zur Breite ableiten. Alte Straßen wurden so gebaut wie Platz war,
 später gab es zwar genormte Regelquerschnitte, nur die änderten sich
 entsprechend nach Fortschritt der Technik und wachsenden Ansprüchen.

Wenn ich lanes eintrage, sind die markiert. Ein markierter Fahrstreifen muss 
innerorts mindestens 2,50m messen. Mehr als 2,80 wird niemand bauen, schon aus 
Kostengründen. Da gibt es als Unsicherheit nur noch ein paar ältere Straßen, 
wo 1,5 Fahrspuren für jede Richtung existieren mit B~ 3,5 - 4,5 m pro 
Fahrspur, Pkw fahren dort teilweise nebeneinander 4-spurig.

= Breite bei 2 Spuren im Gegenverkehr: 5 - 9 m
= Breite bei 4 Spuren: 10 - 11,20 m
= Breite bei 6 Spuren: 15 - 16,80 m


 Bei den Landesstraßen habe ich hier z.B. die Bandbreite von 4,5 bis 7 m
 Fahrbahnbreite. Manchmal wirds hinterm Ortschild mal um ein bis zwei Meter
 breiter. Eine aktuell gebaute Umgehung, auch Landesstraße, wird gerade nach
 neuer Norm gebaut und hat 8 m. Hat alles zwei Fahrspuren, unterscheidet
 sich aber erheblich. Da wäre selbst eine angebliche Messung inklusive
 Fußweg noch exakter als eine Milchmädchenrechnung über Fahrspuren.


Außerorts reicht die Bandbreite bei _markierten_ Fahrstreifen 5,5 - 7 m, bei 
neueren Straßen auch 8m.

Die Breite von Autobahnen ist genauer genormt, hier unterscheidet sich nur 
noch mit/ohne Standspur. Aufgrund ständigem Gewerkel an den Autobahnen durch 
den EU-LKWahnsinn setzen sich hier aktuelle Standards recht zügig durch.

Ergebnis: Innerorts Ungenauigkeit bei 1 Spur/Richtung ca 4 m
2 Spuren/R 1,20 m, 3 Spuren/R 1,80 m

Außerorts 1 Spur/R 2,50 m, mehr Spuren ähnlich innerorts.

Bei Mitmessung der straßenbegleitenden Maßnahmen:
Fußweg 3 Platten parallel a 0,50 = 1,50 m pro Seite,
dazu 1 m Abstand zum Radweg,
dazu Radweg 1 m  = 3,50 pro Seite, insgesamt 7 m. Kommt noch jemand auf die 
Idee, bis zum Gartenzaun zu messen, kann da noch 1 m dazukommen.

Eine Unsicherheit von 8 m toppt da sogar noch unsere Mapping-Genauigkeit, die 
im Schnit bei ca 5 m liegen dürfte.

Man sollte die Rechenschärfe von Milchmädchen nicht unterschätzen :-)

 2) die parallelen Verbindungsstücke nur als motorway_link taggen ohne

 Entweder kein Ref-Tag oder das der Autobahn auf die der Link führt.
 
 Die parallel laufenden Stücke führen zu 2 Zielen:
 1.: die Autobahn, zu der sie parallel laufen
 2.: die Verbindung zur kreuzenden Autobahn, welche schon mit dem ref
 der kreuzenden Autobahn getaggt ist.


Stimmt*grübel*.

Das erste Stück führt aus der Autobahn heraus
= Ref der anderen Autobahn.
Das mittlere Stück führt in die Gegenrichtung der anderen
Autobahn und von der Hin-Richtung der anderen in die eigene
Autobahn
= kein Ref Tag, da es zu beiden führt
Das letzte Stück führt zurück auf die eigene Autobahn
= Ref der aktuellen Autobahn


auf diese Weise hat die Ausfahrt immer die Ref der Autobahn
auf die man fährt. Diese ist unterschiedlich zur aktuellen
und somit immer ein eindeutig erkennbarer Abbiege-Vorgang.

Sogar das rechts halten auf wärend man schon in der
Ausfahrt ist und die zweite Ausfahrt nehmen muss hat
hierbei eine Änderung der Ref von NULL in die der Ziel-Autobahn
was bei einfachen Algorithmen zu Jetzt rechts halten auf Autoahn2
führt.

 *Wie kann ein Anwender die Datenherkunft sinnvoll angeben*

Im englischen FAQ gibt es dazu einen Eintrag:

Die deutsche Version dieser Seite 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Legal_FAQ) ist leider etwas 
komplett anderes und hat auch diesen Abschnitt nicht.

 Zu guter letzt verstehe ich das Problem nicht so ganz, ich erhalte mit

 Stellen.
 In mkgmap gibt es aber auch eine Funktion, die das Navi glauben lässt,
 der Abbiegewinkel sei größer, was solche Probleme beheben soll - such
 mal nach arc heading in der mkgmap-dev Liste.

Hängt sicher auch davon ab, ob die jeweilige Karte mit den korrekten
Zuordnungen zu den entsprechenden Garmin-Road-Types für Abbiegespuren
arbeitet.

 Beispiele für solche Anwendungsfälle:

 _Screenshot und Permalink zur Karte_
 Jeder darf aus der OSM-Webite einen Screenshot von der Karte machen,
 diesen als Bild auf seine Website stellen, und das Bild direkt mit einem
 Permalink auf die OSM-Karte verlinken.

 In diesem Fall braucht er keine weiteren Angaben machen, denn der
 Permalik führt automatisch und direkt zu OSM und damit zu allen
 relevanten Lizenz-Angaben.


das ist m.E. falsch, da muss ein Hinweis hin: Karte Openstreetmap, Lizenz
cc-by-sa 2.0


 _Selbst erfasste Daten an Dritte weitergeben_
 Daten die ich selbst erfasst habe, darf ich Dritten jederzeit zur
 beliebigen Nutzung weitergeben. Wenn ich beispielsweise feststelle, dass
 im Strassenverzeichnis einer Gemeinde ein anderer Name steht als auf dem
 Strassenschild, dann darf ich das der Gemeinde sagen.
 Ich kann mich auch mit anderen in einer (virtuellen) Gruppe zusammentun,
 um solche Unsgereimtheiten gemeinsam aufzuspüren und sie Dritten zu melden.

 klar, was Dir gehört, damit kannst Du machen was Du willst.


 _Von Dritten zur Überprüfung freigegebene Daten nutzen_
 Jeder darf solche Daten im Rahmen deren Lizenzvereinbarung frei nutzen.


auch klar, aber hilft wenig, da man ja die Lizenzvereinbarung kennen und
verstehen muss.


 _Slippymap auf Website einbinden_
 Jeder darf die OSM-Karte als Slippymap in seine Website einbinden.

 solange man nur mäßigen Traffik hat, ansonsten muss man seine eigenen Tiles
rendern.


 In diesem Fall braucht er keine weiteren Angaben machen, denn diese sind
 in der Slippymap bereits enthalten und führen automatisch und direkt zu
 allen relevanten Lizenz-Angaben.


automatisch sind die nicht drin, man muss darauf achten, dass sie dort drin
sind.


 _Kartenausschnitt verbreiten_
 Jeder darf beliebige Kartenausschnitte in Papierform oder elektronisch
 nutzen und verbreiten, auch kommerziell.

 In diesem Fall genügt, wenn er den Begriff Openstreetmap verwendet und
 diesen direkt zu OSM verlinkt.


nein, cc-by-sa2.0 muss auch dabei stehen


 _OSM-Karte für eigene Anwendungen nutzen_
 Jeder darf die OSM-Karte (Mapnik, Osmarender, etc) als Basiskarte
 nutzen, um damit eigene Anwendungen zu erstellen.

 s.o., solange man nicht übernmäßig die Server strapaziert


 In diesem Fall genügt, wenn er auf jeder seiner Anwendungen eine der
 folgenden Formulierungen verwendet und diese direkt zu OSM verlinkt:

 +cc-by-sa2.0 (s.o.)


 Ich freue mich über jeden, der OSM auf seiner Website nutzt
 und über jede Zeitung, die ihren Artikel mit OSM illustriert!


ich auch. Im Wiki steht auch bereits jetzt klar, welchen Hinweis man
dazupacken muss. Klar, wenn jemand unsere Daten nutzt und da erstmal noch
ein paar Fehler in der Attributierung sind, ist das kein Weltuntergang. Die
ersten paar Schreiben sollten höflich formuliert und ohne weitere
Androhungen darauf hinweisen. Wenn jemand ein Druckwerk erstellt, ist die
Lage schon etwas komplizierter, weil man da ja weniger problemlos als im Web
nachbessern kann. Daher ist man als Ersteller aber m.E. auch mehr in der
Bringschuld, sich über die Lizenz zu informieren. Ist ja wirklich nicht
allzu kompliziert...

Oder man macht es so wie es das Garmin in der Praxis macht:
Erkenne dass _link eine Rampe ist und schaue in der eigenen Routen-Planung 
weiter wann die nächste Nicht-Rampe kommt und gebe deren Bezeichnung aus.

Dazu muss man keine Daten entstellen oder vergewaltigen sondern löst das 
Dilemma ganz elegant beim Routing. 


Voraussetzung dafür dass das funktioniert ist die Verwendung eines Rampe-
Datentyps beim Garmin. Die ersten Routingfähigen mkgmap-Versionen hatten das 
nicht richtig gemacht, daher hat das da nicht funktioniert. Wer sich damals 
einen eigenen Stil abgeleitet hat, sollte die Änderungen selbst einbauen, da 
diese Abbildung nur im Stil gemacht wird.

Was passiert dann, wenn sich die Lizenz ändert? Dann müßten z.B. zig
Seiten im Internet angepaßt werden. Da sind nachher zig verschiedene
Versionen im Umlauf, von denen wenn überhaupt eine stimmt.

Einen Link in der Art
a href=http://openstreetmap.org/lizenz;Lizenz/a der auf die
aktuelle Lizenz verweist, halte ich für sinnvoller.

Gerade Betreiber privater Seiten werden nicht immer wieder nachsehen,
ob sie noch die richtige Lizenz angeben. Wenn die mehrmals angemault
werden, daß sie die falsche Lizenz angeben, ignorieren die das entweder
Die wissen auch nicht was sie wollen oder nehmen halt einen anderen
Dienst.

Und es wird ja gerade an einer neuen Lizenz gewerkelt, das Thema dürfte
also eh bald hochkommen.
