 Hi All,
 I'm a little unclear on how map geographic area features, such
 as mountain
 ranges, and valleys. Often these have names (and some have
 more metadata),
 but are not a clearly defined simple polygon. Do we map these
 at all?
 
 Thanks,
  Erik Burrows

Re: [OSM-talk] Xastir (Ham Radio APRS program for Linux) now reads OSM maps

2010-06-14 Thread Erik Burrows

Fantastic! Thanks Andrew.

 Hi all,
 
 I have posted an announcement on the OSM Announce list, but in case anyone 
 missed it I'd like to mention here that Xastir now has 'alpha' support for 
 OSM map tiles.  This is probably only of interest to radio amateurs, but it's 
 good to see another 'consumer' of OSM data.
 
 You can follow the discussion thread here:
 http://lists.xastir.org/pipermail/xastir/2010-June/017939.html
 
 To use this new feature you will have to compile the latest version of Xastir 
 from source (CVS).  There are instructions for doing this at the Wiki.  Here 
 is one example:

 Best wishes,
 
 Andrew
