[OSM-talk] How to map mountain pass in Poltach 2

Hi I was looking at some roads in the himalayas which pass through high mountain passes(marked by signboard). I want to select a point or node on the road, and then mark it as "mountain pass". In the left menu which opens, there is no such option. How to do that? Do I select two points and then mar

Re: [OSM-talk] POI display on osm.org

Hi. Thanks for the hint. Last time I asked for this functionality (more than a year ago) I was told that it's not possible in mapnik. As far as I understand it's still a complete additional rendering to perform, as it renders once for the tile and once for meta information in fact. Nevertheles

I think Serge was focusing on a human-readable summary of changesets, but his code may be usable for creating a more human-friendly POI inspector. My 2¢ for taking this from good to great: * Restrict to POIs and buildings with POI-type tags. Metadata for streets is much less useful for the general

[OSM-talk] Extracting railways online: Overpass or locally e.g. Spatialite?

Hi, I'd like to extract all railways (i.e. railway=rail ) within a bounding box as polylines - meaning ways including nodes with coordinates. The resulting format can either be GeoJSON or any XML. Can I do that with Overpass? Or do I need to do it locally e.g. with Spatialite? BBox is Switzerlan

Hi. Some remarks: 1) zooming in by double click should IMHO not trigger the bubble "zoom in to..." 2) the bubble with the pois is too high sometimes. It looks like it's size may be restricted to 100% of the window height, but that's too much as it requires panning the map to read everything
