Re: [Talk-si] suing a user for insult and threats

2022-11-06 Thread Igor Brejc
To be honest, I would just report this to OSM (even multiple times, if
necessary) and ignore it. There are too many idiots on the internet to sue
them all and also I'm not sure how you would be able to find his real name
and address.

Kind regards,
Igor

I'm not sure whether there is such a group, maybe you should also check OSM

Verjetno si mislil(a) z vsakim smernim voziščem posebej (terminologija iz
https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avtocesta). Pasovi se načeloma ne vnašajo
posebej, razen mogoče pri dvopasovnicah z nivojskimi križišči, ko se
pojavijo dodatni pasovi za zaviti v levo ali desno. Drugače se ena smer
npr. avtoceste riše kot en sam way, ne glede na to, ali ima enega, dva, tri
ali več voznih pasov. Glej

30m, gre za najnovejšo verzijo SRTM.

Pravzaprav je dosti večje odstopanje zaradi relativno redkega vzorčenja

velika odstopanja. Če pogledaš kako cesto za katero veš da se enakomerno

Zdravo,

Fajn novica. V QGISu sem naložil .shp rabe (600 MB), ni mi pa uspelo dodati
OSM map layerja, javlja napako, nisem se poglabljal.
Tukaj sta dva primera rabe za MB in LJ:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6894864/temp/raba-mb.jpg in
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6894864/temp/raba-lj.jpg

Prvo, kar se da ugotoviti je, da so poligoni razbiti v pravokotno mrežo.
Torej če bomo tole importali, je eno od vprašanj ali to združevati v večje
multipoligone ali ohraniti tako, kot je. In kako bi se sploh lotili importa
(in kdo).

Hi Andreas,

I'm the author of Kosmos. It doesn't really work with the new OSM data (64
bit IDs etc) and I haven't received any user support email for at least a
couple of years, so it's safe to say no one uses it anymore. Maperitive
replaced all of its functionality long time ago. So if you feel the need to
clean up the wiki pages, please don't hesitate to do so. And thanks for the

 Zdravo,

 Se strinjam s Štefanom. Pa še ena opazka: OSM ni ne komercialen ne
 nekomercialen. Gre pač za podatkovno bazo, ki dovoljuje uporabo svojih
 podatkov pod določeno licenco, v tem primeru ODbL. Licenca ne prepoveduje
 komercialne uporabe, zato ni mogoče govoriti o tem, da je OSM
 nekomercialen, tudi če so podatki zastonj.

 Tista Gursova licenca pa je itak čudna. Poznam ljudi oz. podjetja,
 ki so od Gursa šli kupit prostorske podatke, potem pa jih lahko lepo
 talajo tudi za komercialne namene (ne vem pa točno ali so kakšne 
 omejitve
 glede tega, lahko pa preverim). Teoretično bi lahko naredili Kickstarter
 projekt zbiranja denarja za nakup Gursovih podatkov in potem uvoza le-teh 
 v
 OSM. Teoretično.

 2014-03-18 15:45 GMT+01:00 Stefan Baebler stefan.baeb...@gmail.com:

 Pozdravljen!

 Res je, da OpenStreetMap sam po sebi ni komercialen projekt, vendar
 ODbL (kakor tudi predhodna CC-BY-SA) licenca uporabe podatkov ne
 omejuje v nekomercialne namene.

 http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/

 http://www.e-prostor.gov.si/fileadmin/narocanje/pogoji_uporabe_podpisani.pdf

 Verjetno ni mišljeno, da bi komercialni projekti zaobšli GURSove
 pogoje z nekomercialno pralnico podatkov (npr OSM).
 Tako, da je to bolj sivo področje in zato brez izrecnega dovoljenja
 prerisovanja ne bi priporočal.
 Doslej smo z dovoljenjem GURSa uvozili državne in naknadno nekdo še
 občinske meje, zlasti ker sta obe vrsti mej administrativna podatka,
 ki ju je praktično nemogoče izmeriti v naravi (večji del ni oznak,
 nedostopen teren) in ju lahko brez večjih težav in škode kadarkoli
 naknadno pobrišemo (se ne prepleta z drugimi, ročno vrisanimi
 podatki).

 Upam, da se motim in z veseljem sprejmem tudi drugačno interpretacijo
 pogojev uporabe.

 Edina luknja, ki jo vidim je, da bi lahko mi (oz kdorkoli pač želi oz
 ima interes) pripravili aplikacijo, ki bi GURSove podatke (pridobljene
 po ZDIJZ na DVDju recimo) uporabljala ali pa predelala v format, ki bi
 bil uporaben tudi v drugih aplikacijah (npr offline navigacija ipd). S
 tem ne bi razširjali GURSovih podatkov, ampak bi odgovornost za
 spoštovanje GURSovih pogojev uporabe prenesli na tistega posameznika,
 ki je podatke od GURSa prejel (če podatke uporablja za komercialne
 namene brez ustreznega dovoljenja je to samo njegov problem).

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Elevation / SRTM data

2013-07-08 Thread Igor Brejc
I'm not an expert, but I think it largely depends on your definition of the
routing database. If you store the elevation data in the original
grid-based form and you request elevation data on-demand for lat/lon coords
without long-term storing of lat/lon + elevation pairs, then I don't really
see the two data sources infecting one another in legal terms.

Except, of course, if you intend to offer the routing as some kind of
high-availability web service which would allow somebody to reconstruct the
original elevation data using web scraping.

Of course, all of this also depends on you getting the approval/agreement
from the CGIAR data owner to use the elevation data for commercial purposes.

 Subject: [OSM-legal-talk] Elevation / SRTM data

 Hi there,

 how would like to know how I could integrate SRTM data with OSM data. It
 is not for a mapping service where I could overlay the elevation
 curves/data and keep it separate. It is for my routing engine
 GraphHopper where I would need to do the following:

  * to calculate the distance I take the latitudes and longitudes from
 OSM, to guess the speed I take the highway and other tags. Then, with
 the help of the SRTM data I modify this distance and speed to be more
 real world.
  * to create an elevation profile of the resulting path. This should be
 simple (?) as the elevation data could be in a separate database and
 just fetched on demand.

 Will the resulting routing database fall under ODbL which the providers
 probably do not want as their elevation data could be guessed or even
 recalculated (with a bit effort)?

 Sorry, if this is a stupid question. I'm really new to OSM licensing
 world :) and there was a similar question but this was regarding hill
 shading and the old license:

  Hi Igor,

 exactly in those areas I have a problem of understanding the OSM license :)


  If you store the elevation data in the original grid-based form

 No, as explained, I do intent to calculate edge weights based on OSM and
 elevation data. Is this a trivial change?

 And then I store this mixed weights in-memory but this is only a
 configuration to make it storing on disc. And would it make a difference? I
 read somewhere that storing could be also in-memory with the rise of
 NoSQL databases this makes indeed sense ...


The license text is pretty general and there are different opinion on these
issues. I think the key thing is that once you store combination of a
lon/lat position (taken from OSM) and an elevation, you end up with a
Derivative Database, as defined:

 “Derivative Database” – Means a database based upon the Database, and
includes any translation, adaptation, arrangement, modification, or any
other alteration of the Database or of a Substantial part of the Contents.
This includes, but is not limited to, Extracting or Re-utilising the whole
or a Substantial part of the Contents in a new Database.

As opposed to:

“Collective Database” – Means this Database in unmodified form as part of a
collection of independent databases in themselves that together are
assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective
Database will not be considered a Derivative Database.

From my understanding, once you tie the two related pieces of data from two
separate databases, you can no longer look at it as two independent
databases.



  Except, of course, if you intend to offer the routing as some kind of
 high-availability web service
  which would allow somebody to reconstruct the original elevation data
 using web scraping.

 What did you mean here? This would make a difference for the elevation
 provider license not for the OSM license (?)


Both, I think - this means you publicly distribute the Derivative Database,
which has its implications. It also means that CGIAR-based data is then
available to public through a license different (and more permissive) than
the original CGIAR license, which the owner is probably not going to be
happy about - since he then cannot enforce the *If interested in using
this data for commercial purposes please email* rule.

The relevant text:

4.4 Share alike.

  a. Any Derivative Database that You Publicly Use must be only under
the terms of:

   i. This License;

   ii. A later version of this License similar in spirit to this
License; or

   iii. A compatible license.


But again, I'm not a lawyer :).

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Elevation / SRTM data

2013-07-08 Thread Igor Brejc
To answer all your questions in one go: there has been a lot of discussion
(especially on this mailing list) about the problems/issues you raised. And
there have been some efforts to better clarify these things. I suggest
reading the mailing list archive.

My own opinion is that the legal issues here are murky and I agree they
could be interpreted differently by different lawyers/people. And I guess
it is very difficult to write a good license text for such type of license,
since there are a lot of different ways the data could be used, lot of
corner cases and a lot of ways the licence could be circumvented by
interested parties if written too specifically. I guess the protecting
power of ODbL is in its murkiness :)

I would not give myself too much hope with interpretations of trivial and
substantial, in my opinion your use case falls well outside of a trivial
and unsubstantial use.

 Ok, makes sense! BTW: why is such a modification not allowed for
 OpenStreetMap? IMO this limits the applications a lot as also enterprise
 guys cannot just buy a commercial license of OSM so they would need to *
 completely* stay away from OSM!



  But again, I'm not a lawyer :)

  The thing with ODbl is that even lawyers are not sure because there are
 no (or too few) court cases. So the community has to make this very vague
 ODbl definition more specific. This clarification would be important to
 increase the adoption in the enterprise.

 Peter.

 What are the other examples you had in mind? Real-world examples
 are exactly what we need for this.


 Some more:

   * Various forms of algorithm-driven generalizations: simplifications

 of roads and polygons, merging of polygons with same or similar
 landuse, elimination of polygons that are too small for given map
 scale (like buildings), amalgamation...
   * Transformation of multipolygons (polygons with holes) into weakly

 simple polygons (certain platforms don't know how to render
 polygons with holes).
   * Algorithm-driven automated label and icon placement.
   * Other applications of geometric and graph algorithms on OSM data

 (Voronoi diagrams, traveling distances etc.) if they are driven by
 OSM data only.

Such elimination would be impossible without using an external data source

Derivative Database (with physical observations). Adding is an abstract

remove all closed businesses from the database, this information would

 Hi Michael,

  First of all, thanks for the link. I've read it carefully and it doesn't
 really answer my questions, it just raises some new ones. Those guidelines,
 as they are written, treat the issue of proprietary/closed source code very
 superficially and without considering too much the practical consequences.
 They also don't really answer the question what is a Database. Let's
 take, for example, the statement Rendering databases, for example those
 produced by Osm2pgsql, are clearly databases. First of all, what are
 rendering databases? I don't share the same clearliness of that
 statement, frankly.

  Another issue is machine-readable form of an algorithm. Who says I
 should interpret that as a source code? And if I do, under what license
 can/should/must I release the source code? I'm certainly not going to
 release my work under the Public Domain.

  I think the core issue that needs to be addressed and answered is: *is
 there a place for proprietary/closed source software in OSM ecosystem*?
 If we follow the strict reading logic of the mentioned guideliness and
 the one expressed in Frederik's answer, I would certainly have to say the
 answer is NO.

  I see some serious issues with the way how we approach the whole ODbL
 thing. As someone who has invested a lot of time and energy into OSM and
 who is trying to find a business model that would enable me to stay in the
 OSM domain, I think the core questions about ODbL have not been answered
 and this scares people/companies off. If the OSM community wants all the
 OSM-based software to be open source, then please say so. But please treat
 all the players the same: Apple, esri, Google and one-man-band companies.

 of preprocessing:

Mapnik does it).

 Yes. You will have sold him the work under the condition that he

 I don't think there's a way how one could require the making available of

 impractical.


I agree, but in that case the author of the Produced Work could simply say:
I choose to go by the clause 4.6a and publish the entire Derivative
Database, but since the only practically publishable Database is the
original OSM XML file, I'm sending you just the link to the downloadable
extract from Geofabrik. I would thus satisfy the 4.6 clause. Am I wrong?


 Always keep in mind that the machine readable clause is only there as an
 alternative in cases where you would prefer not to make the derived
 database available; you can *always* settle for making the derived database
 available instead and then nobody cares about your software.


I realize that, but I think anyone involved in making Produced Works will
want to explore all the alternatives before deciding which one suits them
most.


 (Btw. you always write source code but the ODbL does not talk about
 source code; isn't a binary just as machine readable?)


You have a point. I guess I was just repeating the logic mentioned in the
Open Data License/Trivial Transformations - Guideline without really

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Licenses for Produced Works under ODbL

2012-10-22 Thread Igor Brejc
Hi,

My understanding (emphases are mine):

“*Contents*” – The contents of this Database, which includes the
 information, independent works, or other material collected into the
 Database. For example, the contents of the Database could be factual data
 or works such as *images*, audiovisual material, text, or sounds.


...

“*Produced Work*” – a work (such as an *image*, audiovisual material, text,
 or sounds) resulting from using the *whole or a Substantial part of the
 Contents* (via a search or other query) from this Database, a Derivative
 Database, or this Database as part of a Collective Database.

...

4.3 Notice for using output (Contents). Creating and Using a Produced Work
 does not require the notice in Section 4.2. However, if you Publicly Use a
 Produced Work, You must include a notice associated with the Produced Work
 reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses,
 interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that 
 *Content
 *was obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as
 part of a Collective Database, *and that it is available under this
 License*.


...

 4.8 Licensing of others. You may not sublicense the Database. Each time
 You communicate the Database, *the whole or Substantial part of the
 Contents*, or any Derivative Database to anyone else in any way, *the
 Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Database on the same
 terms and conditions as this License*. *You are not responsible for
 enforcing compliance by third parties with this License*, but You may
 enforce any rights that You have over a Derivative Database. You are solely
 responsible for any modifications of a Derivative Database made by You or
 another Person at Your direction. *You may not impose any further
 restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this
 License*.


If I read these articles correctly, then the Produced Work obtained from
ODbL-licensed Database must be licensed under the ODbL license (once you
publicly use the Produced Work). But it's not your responsibility to
enforce the license on 3rd parties that use your Produced Work.

 I have a question concerning the ability of someone creating produced
 works from an ODbL-licensed database to license that produced work for
 use by others. Strictly speaking it's a question about the ODbL,
 rather that OSM, but since it will have a significant effect on OSM
 users, I thought I would try asking here. For reference, the ODbL
 license text can be found at
 http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/

 I understand that if someone creates and then publicly uses a
 produced work from an ODbL-licensed database then they are required to
 add some text to the produced work saying that it came from such a
 database
 (ODbL 4.3), ensure that any derivative database created along the way
 are under a suitable license (ODbL 4.4) and also meet the requirements
 for providing the final database or algorithm used to produce
 it (ODbL 4.6).

 That's all fine. My question is: how can that produced work then be
 licensed to others? Are there any restrictions placed on what license
 someone could offer the produced work under? Do they have to ensure
 that other users and creators of derivative works maintain the
 attribution back to the original ODbL database? Or could they offer
 the work under something like the CC0 license? Do they have to
 share-alike
 the produced work? Or can they keep it all rights reserved?

 This would seem to be quite an important question for OSM data users
 who are producing map tiles, and I can't see anything to specifically
 address this in the ODbL itself. Except perhaps in clause 4.3, which
 could be
 taken as a viral attribution requirement on any re-uses of the
 produced work. However, 4.3 only refers to the produced work itself,
 and not any derivative works arising from it.

 My understanding is that you don't have to share-alike produced works
 and can keep them all rights reserved if you want (though the other
 requirements listed above may mean that others could replicate your
 work quite easily, so it may not be that effective to do so). I also
 don't think there's anything to stop people CC0-ing produced works,
 but I'm not as confident on this point. So I'd appreciate any
 clarification and/or reasoning that anyone can give.

 Many thanks,

 Robert.

 Same process - either you share the generalized data or you share the
 algorithm that produces it. If, for example, you were to import with ImpOSM
 which does generalisations when importing, that's all you'd have to say.

   3. Finding suitable label placements.
  4. Extracting topology from the data (like multipolygon processing,

 merging of polygons, road segments etc.).
  5. Running other complex algorithms on the OSM data.


 This preprocessing can be done on-the fly or (in case of Mapnik) as a

 The boundary between what is done as a separate step, leading to a derived
 database, and what is done on the fly as part of the rendering process may
 sometimes be muddy but I guess in these situations they are pretty clear.

 Another interesting question is how easy the algorithm you specify must
 be. It is clear that the algorithm cannot include buy some Navteq data and
 then do this, or buy ArcGIS and then do that - but what if the algorithm
 includes run this code, it will take 1000 days, or make sure your
 machine has at least 1 TB of RAM, then continue as follows


The first question is what is the purpose of that method description? If
the purpose is to enable _anyone_ repeating the same process, then I see a
big problem with this interpretation: it effectively means you cannot use
closed source software to generate publicly distributed maps. In one case
you might not be the owner of the source code (ArcGIS as an example), so
you cannot really describe the actual algorithm behind it. In another case,
if you're the owner of the code, you'll either be forced to write length
documents describing your algorithms, or release the source code. And BTW
under what terms/license that document/source code is released? What
prevents a company XYZ then using that source code to do processing of
completely different Databases (not OSM's)?

I don't see how this this clause can be enforced is the scenarios I've
mentioned. Here are some possible outcomes:

   1. The owner of the code has to open-source the code (which could mean
   tossing away a large investment in time  money and giving it free to the
   competition). Who ensures that the source code is complete enough to enable
   the repetition of the process?
   2. The owner writes a crappy document describing the algorithm that no
   one can follow (I've seen a lot of such scientific articles). Who will
   ensure that such documents are usable?
   3. The owner releases a derivative DB which (since the processing is
   done in-memory) is just an binary (almost) random stream of data, difficult
   to read and process for anyone without the original source code. Does he
   need to release the documentation of the data format?

Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know.

Po moje oznacevanje vinjet za avtoceste v Sloveniji ni smiselno, ker ne gre
za lokacijsko odvisno informacijo - pac vse avtoceste so placljive, ker
pise v zakonu. Mogoce kvecjemu pride v postev pri hitrih cestah, ce so

Drugace bo zoprno pri vsakem wayu dodajati in vzdrzevati ta tag.

Re: [Talk-si] Osebni gps sledilec

Zdravo,

Sicer nimam nobenih izkušenj s temi napravami, vem pa, da Garmin ponuja
nekaj izdelkov na to temo (sicer bolj za pse, vendar je en model tudi bolj
splošen): https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=209

Splača se prebrat customer reviewe od te enote:
http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-GTU-GPS-Tracking-Unit/dp/B004HFRA7A

Očitno deluje preko mobilnega omrežja, ne vem pa ali lahko daš svojo SIM
kartico noter. Zgleda pa, da ne lovi GPS v zaprtih prostorih, kar bi lahko
bil problem.

Če daš search v google gps dementia tracker se tudi kaj najde:

 Pozdravljeni!

 Tokrat se na vas obračam v imenu prijateljice, katere oče ima že dokaj
 hudo demenco. Zato se jim večkrat dogaja, da zapusti dom in se izgubi,
 ter nato tava naokrog. V teh primerih bi se ga najhitreje našlo po
 koordinatah. Govorna komunikacija v pravem trenutku (klic takoj ko
 zapusti dom) bi tudi morda še pomagala. Problem pa je, da se ne da
 zanašati, da bo s seboj vedno nosil telefon ali podoben sledilec, niti
 da ga bo dosledno vsako noč napolnil in si ga zjutraj spet nadel.
 Zapestnica, ki jo nosijo zaporniki v domačem priporu v ameriških
 filmih bi bila nekak približek idealu (vsaj kar se tehnike tiče, za
 psiho nisem prepričan).

 Zagotovo to ni edinstven primer, a so podobni problemi dovolj poredki,
 da se o njih ne govori na vsakem vogalu in da problematika ni
 komercialno dovolj zanimiva in rešitve širše dostopne.

 Ima kdo od vas (ali vaših znancev) podobno izkušnjo? Kakšno praktično
 priporočilo, nasvet, morda celo rešitev?

 hvala in lp,

 The problem is that if you go to a rule one road, name displayed once,

The actual rule is: treat it as a single OSM way and then decide how often

 This might not be a problem with residential roads on lower zoom levels,
 but it will with e.g. motorways on higher zoom levels.

 Look example [1]. There is no name on the motorway (I've got my browser
 about 1100 pix wide).
 I have deliberately cut a local stream up to make the name render in more
 places.


It's up to the renderer to decide how often to repeat the name. Cutting up
ways just to make it look better for a certain renderer (Mapnik) isn't
really a good practice. And anyway, this depends on the zoom level: once you
zoom into enough, you will still get ways that will be long and with one
label only. And if you zoom out, you won't get _any_ labels, since the split
ways will be too short to show anything.

Re: [OSM-talk] Rendering street names across several ways

2010-07-01 Thread Igor Brejc
My point is that OSM Mapnik layer (or any other map rendering) is not The
Truth and we should try to avoid adjusting the underlying data just in order
to fix issues like the ones you mentioned. Renderers will improve with time
to be able to better handle such things. And they will behave differently,
so data that seems beautified for one would not be so nice for the other.

And as you said: if you really want a proffesional-like rendering, you can
always render it yourself, produce a vector map and do the manual
postprocessing afterwards.

 If a renderer wants to be clever and put the sections back together,
 they need to suppress the behaviour when the shared node is also
 shared by a higher-class highway.

 In the St Petersburg example, the root of the problem is long street
 names. Maybe you need to render it yourself in a smaller/narrower

 I want to make the map, then remove a few bits which I don't need and

 This is just the sort of thing OSM should be good for, or so I hope :-)

 My first effort involved an SVG export of the Mapnik image from the main
 website. This is pretty good; the only problem is that the roads are
 unnecessarily narrow and so the road names are small and hard to read.
 I'd like pretty much that map, except with wider roads and bigger text.
 It would take an age to change it all manually in the SVG. What are my
 options for a custom render?

 - Mapnik: requires an incredible amount of setup, according to the wiki
   page.

 - Osmarender: It's ugly. Sorry, but it is.

 - mapgen.pl: Same.

 - Kosmos: I'm on Linux, and it only really runs on Windows.

 - Cobra: development seems dead.

 - Cartagen: It does road labels square on, which I don't like.

 - Cloudmade: initially, this seemed really promising. They have a

 Any ideas? Is there an online service to which one can submit a Mapnik

 It definitely makes mapping easy in developing areas where most of the

 to UK/european shops which occupy large areas .

 Here is a small Tale of two shops : One nice lane in a bazaar of a
 small town I found two bakeries . One lies almost opposite to other .
 The nice bakery is called 'Taj bakery'  other one is 'Golden Bakery '
 Mapnik in a lower zoom level shows it as Golden bakery . I actually
 zoomed to a higher zoom level witha hope to see both bakeries .
 Unfortunately it could show only golden bakery :( Seeing it with data
 only shows the POI .  I stopped mapping all the bazaars because Indian
 streets unfortunately are constructed as bazaars with sometimes
 collection of similar selling item. And I am forced to NOT map
 selectively some shop when I am mapping those bazaars . Selecting some
 shop as important and some shop as not important is very daunting task
 :(  Higher population areas have close knit shops I am wondering why
 someone has not demanded for detailed mapping in those areas.

 Coming to extra processing power  bandwidth  I think its time to move
 ahead . I think that atleast osmarender which has a lower zoom level
 when compared to mapnik and should immediately set to mapnik  zoom
 level ( just a matter of personal liking towards osmarender )

OSM wiki is not a project hosting site, so your analogy is misguided. It's a

relevant, you shouldn't employ censorship. After all, OSM wiki is already
full of advertizing (take a look at the first couple of sentences on the

the wiki is objective and doesn't try to promote somebody's commercial

The authors of such software should however be aware that placing the
documentation/manuals for their software on the OSM wiki is problematic,
since the license (probably) doesn't allow them to reuse the docs somewhere
else. That's why I decided not to host the docs there for the OSM project

 From a legal point of view.

 Legally the border between NSW and Vic is the southern bank of the
 Murray River, it was set this way to try and end border disputes
 between the states, however over time the river moves and caused other
 disputes.


I don't know about NSW and Vic case, but in the above cases the official
borders were set as exact geo points, which were in that time based on the
river flow. But when the river moved, it did not affect the borders.
Sometimes the countries then renegotiate a new border, but that's not always

England's regional boundaries were tagged the same way as the border with
Scotland). I don't whether this has been improved in the meantime.

So you are forced to manually post-process the data, which kind-of
invalidates the whole tagging approach in OSM.
I think this will sooner or later have to be addressed by the OSM community.
Or we will have to build much better mapping applications which will be able

All this is true, but I think we are too concentrated on generating 
content (i.e. mapping) as opposed to actually using this data for some 
meaningful purpose. I guess this is natural, since majority of OSM users 
are mostly map data producers, and only the minority is actively 
involved in map consuming.

My point is that we should listen to people who are trying to use our 
mapping data (both for non-profit and commercially).  After all, isn't 
it the whole point of OSM to produce something useful? Or is just so 
that we can show a nice world map on the main page?

 I don't think that the line is between hobby and professional.

 OSM with their volunteers does one kind of mapping, and TeleAtlas with 
 their vans does another kind of mapping. Each has its own distinctive 
 advantages. There are professional users wo spend money on OSM data when 
 they *already have* TeleAtlas data.

 The commercial maps have fixed tagging schemes, minimum quality 
 standards and only accept trained personnel as mappers. They have long 
 turnaround times and cost a lot of money to maintain. At OSM we have no 
 fixed tagging schema, no minimum quality standards, and anyone can map. 
 We have super fast turnaround times and cost nothing to maintain. 
 Different approaches - different results. Not worse or better; different.

 I don't see how you could have the advantages without the disadvantages. 
 Add a fixed tagging scheme and peer review to OSM and you get more 
 quality but less data and longer turnaround times; before long you are 
 TeleAtlas v2.0 and have to charge for maps to pay your mappers because 
 nobody does it for fun any more.

 So, yes, in my eyes the approach is really take it or leave it, and if 
 someone decides he'd rather use TeleAtlas or Navteq then by all means, 
 let him do it. I don't know why Dave F finds this VERY disillusioning; 
 what was his illusion then? For OSM to rule the world? I think the world 
 is much better of with a few map datasets following different approaches 
 that with a one size fits all dataset.

Re: [OSM-talk] Using digital tablet for drawing maps

2010-01-25 Thread Igor Brejc
David,

Yes, I noticed this clicking problem with JOSM myself, and it is annoying.
Is it Java or just JOSM-specific problem? In OS (Windows at least), the
mouse-down and mouse-up events are treated separately, so I don't see why it
would be problem if the mouse moves in between.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Looks like I'm going to have to borrow a tablet
and test it out with JOSM before buying.

 I did use a tablet at one point, but I gave up. In principle it should
 be ideal and it is for most drawing and painting programs, and you
 quickly get used to the right button on the pen side and operating menus
 with it.

 It's not the tablet that's the problem - an A6 size one is fine. The
 problem is Java. It seems to insist that for a mouse click to be
 recognized properly the coordinates at the down press have to be the
 same as those at the up-press. With a mouse this is a problem sometimes
 if you nudge it, but with a tablet it is impossible.

 There is a plugin for JOSM which tries to remedy this (by checking if
 the up and down are within a certain distance of each other). It wasn't
 right and I hacked it a bit, but it still isn't quite right because
 there is often a delay before sensing mouse clicks - if you are
 creating a way, you frequently click-click-click quite fast along the
 track, and JOSM quickly gets behind and the mouse tracking gets
 confused. This happens using a mouse as well and is very frustrating,
 but it is much worse with a tablet in my experience.

 So I think more could be done in JOSM to work around wjhat are
 essentially failings in Java's mouse handling, but it is not that great
 at the moment. It's not that you can't use it, you just have to be so
 much more deliberate and patient in entering clicks (and you do have to
 have the nearclick plugin)

Re: [OSM-talk] Defective GPS trace

2010-01-01 Thread Igor Brejc
You can also use Oregon's Waypoint Averaging function to make more accurate
positioning of waypoints. But you need to do this at different times (say on
you next hiking trip when you cross the same waypoint) for this to be really
effective. With couple of accurate waypoints it is easier to detect track
inaccuracies.

Re: [OSM-talk] Osm2SpatiaLite ?

Hi,

I've implemented importing of OSM data into SpatiaLite DB and integrated it
successfully with Kosmos map rendering code. SpatiaLite OSM database can be
quite fast, but I had to learn a trick or two to reach good performance. I
even managed to import the latest UK data into it and it didn't complain too

I'm planning to release this in Kosmos v3, hopefully sometimes in the spring

Re: [OSM-talk] Isn't it time for a higher zoom level?

2009-11-21 Thread Igor Brejc
Richard, thanks for mentioning Kosmos :)
Yes, Kosmos draws OSM data on-the-fly and it supports continuous zoom 
levels (I've limited it up to zoom level 18 because of some .NET drawing 
engine problems on higher zooms). There are two drawbacks however: it 
runs on Windows only and the latest released version is getting old. But 
I'm working (hard?) on the v3 version which I hope will be easier to use 
and more powerful. And if I get the time, I'll try to make it Linux (and 
Mac)-friendly.

 Potlatch 2 will have a fully-fledged rendering engine with stylesheets

 This bit's already written and you can try it at:

 There's also a similar, JavaScript-driven rendering engine called Cartagen:

 And if you're on Windows, Kosmos is worth looking at.

[OSM-talk] England, Wales, Scotland borders

2009-10-04 Thread Igor Brejc
Hi,

For days now I've been trying to figure out how I could render borders 
between England, Wales and Scotland using OSM data, but I keep stumbling 
into same issues. Frankly, I think the way these things are tagged in UK 
is a mess (I don't know what the situation is in other places):

   1. Borders between these countries are tagged with the same
  admin_level=4 as that of subdivisions inside England (example:
  North East England, http://osm.org/go/evykef-?relation=151164).
  Now I'm not a constitutional expert, but I think Wales and
  Scotland represent different level of territorial division than
  just a collection of England's counties. And anyway, the
  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative
  states level 4 is used for England/Scotland/Wales border and
  doesn't mention anything else.
   2. There is no way to render JUST land borders. Maritime borders
  (territorial waters) are tagged exactly the same way as their
  continental counterparts. And even if you accept this limitation
  and decide to render territorial waters they are usually cut off
  in the available UK OSM extracts.
   3. England's coast is also tagged as a border, but Wales' and
  Scotland's isn't.

Please take my criticism as a constructive one. I'm trying to use OSM 
data in a real-life situation and I think borders are some of the more 
important data, since they are usually visible in smaller-scale maps 
(but usually _without_ marked territorial waters). The way UK's borders 
are now tagged, the only way to render them usefully would be to 
manually collect a list of OSM ways' IDs.

Of course I could go and edit these things myself, but since I'm not 
usually covering this part of the world, I don't want to step on other 
people's toes :)

Best regards,
Igor

 da teh poti ne bi vnesel v OSM, ker so sicer lahko zelo lepe in uporabne.
 Zanima pa me, ali obstaja kaka značka, s katero bi označil, da je pot
 zaraščena ali težje prehodna. Na wikiju nisem našel nič pametnega razen v
 kostariki je na voljo tag unpassable_in_wet_season.
 Če se malo pošalim, bi bila na primorskem najbolj uporabna značka
 robida=yes, v hribih pa ruševje=yes.

 Pa še nekaj, kako se vnaša kolesarske steze, ki so ob velikih vpadnicah in
 so fizično ločene od ceste (Dunajska, Celovška)? Se naredi novo pot ali se
 enostavno doda cycleway značko?

[OSM-talk] GPX on OSM slippymap?

2009-08-10 Thread Igor Brejc
Hi,

This has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find anything on google.

Is there a way to display an uploaded GPX on the OSM slippymap? Something
similar to how you can highlight an OSM way, node or relation:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=31904301

I took some friends on a hiking tour and I wanted to send them a simple URL
with the indicated track, since I've already uploaded the GPX for mapping
purposes.

 Hello Igor,

 You can go to gpsies.com and give it the URL for the GPX file e.g.
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/475187/data
 After it renders you can choose the OSM slippy map.

 I have made a small script (based on the documentation on the wiki) that 
 allows you to quickly render a GPX file on an OSM slippy map. 

 To use this, append the URL to the GPX file at:

   https://rejo.zenger.nl/topo/osm/?fn=[url-to-gpx-file]

 That's it. 

 For example:

   
 https://rejo.zenger.nl/topo/osm/?fn=http://insecure.rejo.zenger.nl/gps/2009-04-18.gpx

 If that works and you want to include it into some webpage, use:

   iframe src=https://rejo.zenger.nl/topo/osm/?fn=[url-of-track]; 
   width=[width-of-embedded-image] height=[height-of-embedded-image] 
   frameborder=0/iframe

 You may add some variables to the URL which adjust the rendering of the 
 GPX track on the Openstreetmap. By adding sc=blacksw=10so=0.4 you 
 would set the track to appear as a thick black and highly transparant, 
 where the default is a medium thick, red and half-transparant line.

 There is some more information at:

   https://rejo.zenger.nl/topo/embed-osm-and-track-in-webpage.php

 And there is some background information at:

Zanimiv pristop, se popolnoma strinjam. Mogoce kasneje najdemo se kaksno
drugo open-source karto z boljso resolucijo, pa tisto uvozimo naknadno.
Edino bi pripomnil, da je treba vrisati le manjkajoco mejo s Hrvasko, ker so
ostale ze vrisane iz drugih (verjetno bolj natancnih) virov.

Strinjam se tudi s Stefanom glede groznje GURS-u :)
Kar se tice Hrvatov, pa se vedno lahko dodajo tudi svojo razlicico meje,

2009/8/6 Ales rom gab...@gmail.com

 Pozdrav vsem kartografom.

 Tudi sam sem se že pred časom oglasil na listi z vprašanjem v zvezi z mejo.
 V zvezi z objavljeno .shp datoteko na spletni strani GURS sem jim tudi
 poslal pisno vprašanje o možnosti uporabe omenjene datoteke v
 Openstreetmap.org
 Odgovor, je bil, da jo lahko uporabimo v skladu z njihovimi pogoji uporabe,
 kar pa po mojem mnenju ni dovolj za neposreden uvoz.
 Mejo s Hrvaško sem sam narisal na naslednji način:
 1. Iz wikipedije sem naložil zemljevid Slovenije
 http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Slovenia_map.png. Zemljevid je del UN
 Maps in če prav razumem, je konkretna slika uporabna brez omejitev. Tudi
 ločljivost slike je precej dobra.
 2. Sliko sem uvozil v brezplačni program  *GPS TrackMaker*
 http://www.gpstm.com/ in jo poravnal v koordinatni sistem.
 3. Po meji sem posnel GPX file, ki sedaj čaka na uvoz v Openstreetmap.
 Verjamem, da je to trenutno edini legalni način vrisa meje iz kakšne
 predloge.
 Ocenjujem, da bo natančnost tako narisane meje nekje okoli 200 m. Vsekakor
 ne bo mogoče zajeti prav vsake parcele, vendar pa sem prepričan, da mejo
 potrebujemo. Sploh ne za to, da bi se ločili od Hrvatov, temveč da bi končno
 lahko videli, svojo statistiko pri projektu. Ponekje nam pomagajo reke
 (predvsem zelo dolga Kolpa :-)  Pričakujem vaše komentarje. Če ne bo
 kakšnega res negativnega odziva ali argumenta proti, bom mejo uvozil v v
 nekaj dneh.

 Hvala, in lep pozdrav,

 Oj!

 Kakor sem jaz pred časom gledal so občine v zakonu definirane kot
 skupine naselij, ki spadajo v posamezno občino.
 Kje so definirane natančne meje teh naselij pa nisem šel raziskovat.
 Najbrž so definirane vsaj v zemljiški knjigi (javna listina!), vendar
 jih je od tam malo težje prečrpati, ponovna raba (objava) pa je
 verjetno spet nekako omejena (ker kataster vsebuje tudi osebne
 podatke).

 Ve kdo še za kak drug vir definicije mej naselij?

 lp,
 Štefan

 2009/7/28 Igor Brejc
  Zdravo,
 
  Da malo oživim diskusijo na naši listi. Včeraj sem začel vrisovati meje
  Triglavskega NP (približno) na osnovi starih kart, potem pa sem se
 spomnil,
  da so te meje tako ali tako določene z zakonom
  (http://www.tnp.si/razumeti/C65), kar naj bi načeloma pomenilo (po moji
  laični presoji), da so podatki o poteku meje public domain. To pa naj bi
  pomenilo, da jih lahko svobodno uporabljamo v OSM, ali pač?
 
  Enaka situacija bi lahko bila pri državni meji: sicer nisem našel
 točnega
  zakona v Uradnem listu, vendar naj bi državna meja bila določena z
 zunanjimi
  mejami občin. Meje občin pa so tudi določene z zakonom. Torej bi
 teoretično
  spet lahko to definicijo uporabili pri vnašanju meje v OSM. Pa tudi
  občinskih mej, če bi se komu dalo.
 
  Kaj pravite?

So errors (deliberate or not) can be left unnoticed for quite some time in

some kind of a simple mechanism for protecting against common mistakes (e.g.

If you need relief contours on your Garmin, you could try GroundTruth 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GroundTruth) - it generates contours 
from NASA's SRTM data (you'll get contours like these: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=29.817lon=85.091zoom=10layers=00B0FTF). 
There are some holes in the data though, so don't rely too much on them.

You can then combine these contour maps with other Garmin maps (contour 
maps are transparent).

Garmins (at least eTrex) is that they only really use unit's internal 
RAM for storing tracks and they store up to 10,000 points there. When 
storing tracks on SD cards, Garmins do a lot of simplifying, so the

 This is not the case with Vista HCx and 60CSx when the settings are 
 correct:
 In the track menu goto Setup
 - Enable the Wrap When Full option
 Goto Data Card Setup menu
 - Enable Log Track To Data Card option

 Now you can log the raw trackpoints to the SD-card practically forever.


You're right - I've just compared the GPX from the internal memory 
(Vista Cx) with the one from the SD card and they seem to be exactly the 
same. Hmmm I'm SURE I viewed these a way back and they were all 
mangled You learn new things every day.

[OSM-talk] GroundTruth v1.3 - Garmin maps with relief contours

2009-03-31 Thread Igor Brejc
Hello everybody,

GroundTruth, a mapmaking software for Gamin GPS units, has a new 
version. GroundTruth can now generate relief contours from SRTM data 
using the Isohypse Binary File (IBF) format. The format enables much 
more compact storage of contours (up to 100 times smaller than using OSM 
XML files).

If you're interested, here are some links you can check out:
- http://igorbrejc.net/openstreetmap/groundtruth-v13
- 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GroundTruth_For_Dummies#Generating_Maps_With_Relief_Contours
- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Isohypse_Binary_File
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/28786...@n03/tags/groundtruth/ - contains 
various screenshots taken from GroundTruth maps

I'll be releasing a C# library for manipulating IBF files soon.

Enjoy,

Igor

Re: [OSM-talk] Where have all the contributors gone?

2008-12-01 Thread Igor Brejc
How about covering your area with land use data using yahoo/landsat? 
It's something I do occasionally at the end of the work day when I'm 
totally exhausted - it's a nice dumb work which helps my brain turn off. 
And it comes handy for various hiking maps (example of my area: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.5045lon=15.534zoom=12layers=0B00FTF).

Anyway, I find mapping footpaths in forests much more interesting than 
plain old residential streets and roads - fewer people tend to cover 
them and sometimes it turns out be a real adventure - getting lost or 
meeting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wild_Boar_Habbitat_3.jpg

Not to mention the health benefits ;)

 At 9:00am on a Sunday morning, the meaning of no cycling on urban

 Unfortunately the mud doesn't, which if Saturday is anything to go by 
 would have been a bit too much for my non-mountain bike :-)

 The real challenge as has been pointed out is the white space without a
 nearby contributor. Especially in the sparsely populated locations of our
 planet

 Last winter I spent many dark evenings tracing the jungle rivers and 
 mountain lakes in Peru from the yahoo satellite images. The vast 
 majority of this will be nigh-on impossible to map using a GPS, so I 
 considered this to be a useful contribution in an area previously 
 mostly empty (OSM-wise). Some of these have probably never been mapped 
 to this level of accuracy before. And I still haven't finished yet 
 (Lakes are only about half-way up the country, and most of the coastal 
 rivers still need doing), so I reckon that'll keep me going this 
 winter. Bolivia and Brazil still have a lot of water unmapped, so that 
 would be something you could consider. I'm sure there are many other 
 parts of the world with similar needs. As urban areas lend themselves 
 well to on-the-ground mappers with GPS devices these are better left 
 to locals who can gather street names, but even here I reckon there's 
 room for basic mapping of major highways from satellite, as that will 
 form a framework around which people on the ground can organise their 
 own mapping. For example people might decide to map completely a 
 square enclosed by roads, rivers etc., but unless these features are 
 already on the map it's harder to plan something like this. When I 
 actually got to visit one such road I was able to adjust it on the 
 basis of GPS data, thus improving the accuracy.

 I've been on the SRTM pages a couple of minutes before, and am still unsure 
 about the license stuff. Before I distribute the data, I'd really like to 
 know if it is legal. Any hint would be much appreciated.

 Best regards,

 ce


   
Well, first of all, CycleMap uses the same SRTM data (as far as I know), 
so if the license is an issue, this applies to CycleMap too.
I haven't been able to find any info directly describing the license of 
SRTM, but, as far as I know, all NASA's products (images, data) are 
public domain. And since people who generated SRTM void-filled data 
license it under their own terms (and not NASA's), I guess this means 
that the original data has a very permissive license. So we should be in 
the clear ;)

[OSM-talk] Kosmos 2.3

2008-11-13 Thread Igor Brejc
Hi all,

A new version of Kosmos is out: What's new:
- slippymap integrated directly into the main map. It can show the three 
OSM map layers.
- improvements in memory consumption and rendering speed
- areas can now have their own icons
- full map mode
- a lot of bugfixes and minor enhancements

Read

[OSM-talk] Mapnik rendering of paths + place=locality in general

2008-11-03 Thread Igor Brejc
Hello,

This question has come up several times (from what I could Google out), 
but let me ask it again: when can we expect Mapnik OSM layer to render 
highway=path? Nevermind the path or footway debate - it would be nice 
to have paths rendered (they can be rendered the same as footways, as 
far as I'm concerned). Anyway, I checked Tagwatch for Germany and it has 
some 17,000 paths, so it's not totally unused.

Second issue: I've just added an area tagged with place=locality, but 
Osmarender doesn't seem to render it (I don't know about Mapnik). This 
would be a nice feature to have (especially for cycling map).

 How about if you want them rendered you tag them with the standard 
 tagging of highway=footway that we've been using for the last several 
 years and which mapnik already supports?

 It's no use saying never mind the debate. By that logic I could 
 announce that in future I'm going to tag all motorways as 
 highway=frog and demand that people never mind the debate and just 
 render highway=frog as a motorway.

 Tom

Ok, but is there anywhere in OSM world a law that says use footways and 
not paths? Aren't we constantly reiterating the fact that tagging is 
democratic? Isn't there a description of highway=path on Map 
Features page?

I don't see a reason (and I don't intend to continue) the debate about 
this issue. I was merely asking when/if this feature will be rendered in 
Mapnik. And I didn't announce any plans to use or disuse this tag.

There were a lot of (lengthy) discussions about it on this list. I guess 
the main advantage is that you specify a lake more precisely in physical 
terms - it consists of water and islands inside the lake. Just using 
higher layer tags for island is more of a hint for rendering software 
and does not specify any relation between the lake and its islands.

Re: [OSM-talk] Recommended GPS for logs for OSM *and* for vehicle - is there such a beast?

2008-08-27 Thread Igor Brejc
If you're willing to spend some extra money, maybe you should take a 
look at Garmin Oregon: 
http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2008/08/garmin_oregon_400t_review.php

The upside is that it's an outdoor unit with a good map display. Battery 
life should be quite OK, at least from my experience with Garmins. And 
it supports navigation, but without sound (if you need this, take a look 
at new Garmin nuvi 500). What's additionally attractive to me is the 
support for the heart rate monitor and bike cadence sensor.
The downside is that it's a closed source unit, but you should be able 
to view OSM maps (if Garmin hasn't changed mapping support with these 
new models).

IMHO pure outdoor units are still the only option for the real outdoor 
use (rain, low temperatures etc). I'm using Garmin Vista Cx and I'm 
quite happy with it.

Igor


Florian Steiper wrote:
 Hello,

 As much as I know the Garmin navigation units can load the OpenStreetMap 
 data that is produced by mkgmap.
 sadly only the top model in the Nüvi series offers tracking.

 However, the motorbike units (zumo) do offer tracking, are water 
 (splash) proof and also allow navigation by voice. They may be a little 
 heavy for use on a bicycle... and they are also rather expensive... but 
 again.. you can load the OSM map on the devices and see where there is 
 data already and where there isn't.

 It's doubtful (to me) if on-screen maps are much use, too distracting,
 so a system which can provide voice instructions via bluetooth (or
 whatever) would seem to be best for the 'bike.

 A receiver which can link up with a PDA might make sense as I need a
 new PDA anyway.

 So, rather an open-ended question but I'd appreciate any/all input.

Re: [OSM-talk] Actually using OpenStreetMap - how to get vector data

2008-07-28 Thread Igor Brejc
Hello,

While we're on the subject of OSM usability: I have a different 
issue/question/problem regarding the access to the OSM data.

While I find OSM web maps to be quite usable and all, I think the 
biggest strength of OSM (apart from its community, of course :) ) is 
having an access to the raw (vector) map data and not just image tiles 
like Google et al. For a long time I was dreaming about creating a 
desktop/mobile application for cyclists and hikers which would utilize 
the vector data for suggesting cycling/hiking routes, calculating the 
time needed and so on. The map area would not necessarily be a large one.

The problem is fetching the data - the only viable option I see is using 
OSMXAPI, but its server is overwhelmed and will limit the download size 
in the future (from what I read on this list). Using planet dumps seems 
to me a bit too unfriendly from the end-user perspective - they would 
have to download quite a large quantity of data.

I have the similar problem with providing map data to users of Kosmos. 
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Igor

I think it is not as easy as it looks. Some countries (Slovenia, for 
example) still do not have the whole border drawn in OSM (lack of free 
data), so you cannot use this to determine what belongs to what country 
- never mind the purely technical difficulties of doing so. And anyway, 
even this does not help for multilingual countries like Belgium or Spain.

It is probably more logical to use multilingual place names which should 
have an ISO language ID, like name:ca so that we can match them with 
appropriate language mappings like Name finder:Abbreviations. But this 
multilingual tagging is not used universally in the OSM community.
There is also an is_in tag, but again, it's not widely used (at least 
to my knowledge, I could be wrong).

BTW: it would be good to add ISO language IDs to the Name 
finder:Abbreviations page so that the mappings can be computer-matched 
more easily.

Re: [OSM-talk] KOSMOS general default rule?

2008-07-24 Thread Igor Brejc
I forgot to cc: the mailing list...

Hi,

I had this question come up several times, so let me explain.

Short answer: Kosmos GUI has a feature called unused ways and nodes 
which (when turned on) allows you to display ( in a visually irritant 
way) nodes/ways which were not covered by the rules (see 
http://igorbrejc.net/openstreetmap/kosmos/spotting-unused-ways-in-kosmos 
for more info).

Long answer:
Rules in Kosmos are implemented in such a way as to not exclude each 
other. The excluding is only available for child rules. That's why you 
cannot set a default rule at the end of the ruleset to cover anything 
else that wasn't covered by the rules above.

The problem in general is how do you define what's covered and what's 
not? Example: you have a node that is a part of the highway. You have 
the way covered with a rule, but the node also contains a bus stop tag, 
for which you did not set a rendering rule. Is the node covered by rules 
or not?

Relations make things even more complicated.

Igor

GS wrote:
 Hi,

 let's suppose I have a ruleset and want to draw anything uncovered by the 
 specific rules as gray symbols or lines. So I want a default rule for nodes 
 and ways not selected by special rules.

 For child rules that is possible. For major rules also? How?

 Purpose is to become aware of data that someone entered but that is not yet 
 shown on my map.

 Thanks

OK I tried it with Kosmos, looks like you set the maximum size limit on

I think it is good that you've set some sort of filtering of requests. 
It would however be nice to know what kind of criteria you set for 
rejecting requests, so that OSMXAPI clients could implements similar 
logic even before sending requests.

An idea to consider: why not allow some sort of capabilities query 
which would return current values of these criteria?

80n wrote:
 I've just implemented a change to OSMXAPI which will filter out and

 The filter uses a combination of bbox size and count of matching 
 elements to determine whether or not to process the request.

 At this stage it is a bit experimental and there is scope for fine 
 tuning what it accepts and rejects.

 If you find that it is rejecting a request that you think is 
 reasonable then please let me know.  I want to find the point where 
 all reasonable requests are still accepted but silly or badly formed 
 ones are rejected. 

 This should make a big difference to the throughput as previously 
 osmxapi would easily get bogged down by someone requesting the whole 
 planet and then retrying two or three times when they don't get a 
 response within 10 seconds.

Yes, that's one of the "obligatory" features of 3D scenery renderers.
What I will probably do is to first publish a prototype standalone
application for 3D OSM maps and include some kind of XML configuration
where you'll be able to specify relief exaggeration (among other
things). Then I'll merge this into the main Kosmos.GUI and provide a
GUI for setting these things.

I'll also invest some time in trying out Axiom engine mentioned before

cannot promise more than that.
