Re: [OSM-talk] Early History of OSM

Another thing about the 2006 map is that many of the ways that definitely were there then. e.g. http://osmz.ru/osm2006.html#14/51.0523/-0.7374 This is the Fernhurst area, West Sussex. There should be a primary road north to south and many more footpaths Primary and secondary roads seem to

Re: [OSM-talk] online survey about the OSM community

I have to admit I filled the thing in - I assumed the middle questions were perhaps psychology related (psychology of OSM users, etc). It never asks for name, email address, phone, place of work etc, town etc. - just age. Didn't really strike me as phishing. What do people think about this -

[OSM-talk] Using osmdroid for an Android university course

Hi, (not sure if this belongs in talk or dev) Next year I am running a university course on Android development. I am planning to include a section on location-aware apps and mapping, and naturally I want to use OSM. ;-) Mapsforge is one option, however IMV the new 0.4 API has a little too

One thing that surprised me was 61 miles from a lighthouse as (and I don't know this) I'd have guessed that some of the central parts of England would be getting on for 100 miles from the sea. But my geography of that part of the world isn't great so I'm probably wrong... Nick -Craig

[OSM-talk] Galaxy SIII GPS receiver issues, and alternatives

Has anyone encountered any problems with the GPS on the Galaxy SIII or similar models starting to malfunction after a while? Mine is around 18 months old and since around Easter its ability to connect to the satellites seems to have become very weak, typically only picking up 7-10 satellites
