mér sýnist því að best gæti verið að hreinlega eyða þeim sveitarfélögum sem

Nothing beats PostGIS at the moment and there is a large migration of GIS 
databases going on in general where the free and free ( code and license) 
aspects of Postgre are major factors as well.
In my job I am running and coding for Postgre, MySQL and MSSQL servers and have 
previously over the past decades developed in DB2, Oracle and others. 
Administration is never fool proof - database flavor doesn't matter much 
there.Moving from Postgre would be swimming against the tide.

That's not entirely true. SQL is a language but every

MSSQL might not be available in MySQL/MariaDB and vice-versa.




  
SQL is a "standard" only in so far as developers are somewhat
  
interchangeable between products.
  

  
There is nothing that prevents RDBMS implementations from adding
  
features on top of the standard, and most of the standard features
  
are optional anyway.
  

  
E.g. the actual ISO SQL standard for stored procedures is only really 
implemented by IBM/DB2, MySQL and MariaDB, while all other RDBMS 
products implement their own procedure languages (and I can't even
  
blame them, as the ISO SQL standard syntax feels as if it got
  
stuck in the old BASIC days).
  

  
The key question though would be: is MS SQL Server GIS support
  
on par with PostGIS?
  

  
My impression so far was that it provides just a little bit more
  
than what the OGC 1.1 standard requires.
  

  
That would put it in the same league as MySQL and MariaDB, maybe
  
slightly ahead, but very far below what PostGIS provides.
  

  
(Disclaimer: I'm working for MariaDB as a support engineer, and
  
have been working for MySQL before, so I may a little bit biased.
  
But even I would always recommend the PostgreSQL / PostGIS combo
  
over MariaDB for all but the most basic GIS applications)

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM is not the place for dissemination of authoritative data sets

2020-03-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
As someone who started as a foot mapper but who is now also in an 
"authoritative position" I'd like to answer Frederik here.

Amongst my professional responsibilities is the dissemination of the 
authoritative data set for protected areas in Iceland. Many of these are huge, 
do not have lines drawn on the ground (or water or sea) and can only partially 
be mapped on foot.

However I believe including them is beneficial for OSM and its users and so 
have been doing updates as I can. However it is not an easy process for large 
areas, having to chop the huge Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður (over 15% of Iceland) up 
due to max nodes is not an easy feat - and now I have to update it due to 
expanded boundaries and quite honestly it is a daunting task (it will be easier 
to delete it and re-import it in a very time consuming manner).

So - why are authoritative data sets an unwelcome addition? I have many data 
sets that I need to disseminate but only some are useful for OSM (in my view). 
Also keeping them in sync can get harder as the key-cleanup crew was roaming 
around recently.

Do we just want things we can see, not things that are real, have a basis in 
law, and you can get arrested for doing the wrong things in the wrong areas?

Things are not black and white, data sets are of different qualities and such a 
sweeping statement is not helpful.

Re: [OSM-talk] Too subjective & problematic Re: no-go-areas

So you suggest that we help routers to blacklist these areas, which means 
living there will become even worse as various services depending on our data 
stop delivering there?

These no-go areas are very much based on estimates. Personally if we are 
marking hazards then my country can pretty much be marked as a hazard - for 
example the curent weather in January is strong winds and snow, meaning if you 
are outside in normal daily clothes you are not surviving more than a few hours.

This idea is for a dataset that should be solved on a local level with apps 
using OSM data and their own hazard estimations. This does not belong on OSM.

Re: [OSM-talk] What does WGS84 mean for openstreetmap these days?

2019-12-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Hello Greg

I don't think we can or will be providing accuracy up to cm when most of the 
stuff we map from our chairs is off by a meter or two anyways - the beauty is 
that it doesn't matter for 99,99% of users. If a centimeter matters then we are 
probably dealing with legal matters and there OSM makes it quite clear it is 
not suitable for such.

Also regarding the accuracy, as another fast moving country Iceland is actually 
splitting in the middle and so it edges west and east and south as well, 
depending on where you are in the country. We've had 3 official national datums 
now, ISN93, ISN2004 and ISN2016 (helpfully naming them after years). The fact 
is that pretty much everything is still running in ISN93, ISN2004 saw very 
little uptake and ISN2016 has started very slowly.

So for Iceland we do know that we are never going to achieve a centimeter 
accuracy, pretty much ever, and don't expect a free people sourced geographical 
database to reach it.

2019-11-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Not all languages make, or care about making, a distinction of France 
(including non-Europe) and France (only Europe).

This is an administrative detail which has no relevance for most of us, even if 
we are frequent visitors in France and love it (me!).

Thus our languages do not differentiate between the two.

Icelandic for example does not care about the distinction so far, although 
Meginlandsfrakkland (one word) or Meginlands-Frakkland could be possible 
candidates if we'd need to.

In the left sidebar on Wikipedia you can see which languages do have this

Re: [OSM-talk] Attribution guideline status update

I concur, this becomes long and unwieldy fast in my own language and to fully 
capture it requires a full sentence, with a comma for clarity even.

Behind OpenStreetMap the brand we have contributors amongst others.

I think we move in different mapper communities as "mapping for the reward of 
being recognized by external data users" has never even been on my list, or of 
those mappers I know, of reasons for why we map.

Of course everyones self-image is their own, so I don't know about your claim

For the sake of this discussion it should be pointed out that (except for 
initial Malaysia thing) the mapwith.ai website does just that.

The AI has found possible roads and it is up to humans to confirm if it is a 
road and re-classify it if Residential (the default) is not correct.

Re: [Talk-is] Highway classification question

2019-03-30 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I'm very wary of gravel roads being designated as primary roads!

I think you are possibly reading too much into the definition from Vegagerðin.

Also do note that roads come from two source, Vegagerðin and then the 
municipalities.

In urban areas for example we use tertiary for Safnbrautir (linking residential 
roads) and then secondary for tengibrautir (linking safnbrautir to stoðbrautir).

Re: [OSM-talk] Renaming Macedonia

2019-02-04 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Do we need a plan?

I noticed someone overzealous had changed the name in Icelandic to a 
translation of Northern Macedonia, however that is not the name of the country 
in Icelandic except for possibly now in official usage. We always referred to 
it as Macedonia before and FYROM equivalent only in very specific 
circumstances. We will continue to do so - also according to the Icelandic 
State Department current lists it is still Makedónía.

A name given to a country by others doesn't always reflect the locals 
preferences, indeed the Czechs deciding between Czechia and Czech Republic 
doesn't affect us as we will refer to them always as Tékkland.

This renaming will be done on a language by language basis I believe, and 
possibly the only things that need to be updated are official_name:lang tags, 
not the name:lang tags.

Re: [Talk-is] Data improvements in Iceland

This sounds very useful Matt.

I have previously approached ja.is about the 360 imagery on behalf of 
OpenStreetMap á Íslandi and a permission to use it as a data source. The reply 
in 2018 was "not for now - maybe later" so if this is later then it would be 
great.

The GPS traces would be very nice too.

Regarding using LUKR as a source then be advised it is not 100% correct - it 
contains a number of ghost buildings for example (where a zone has been 
approved for a building but it hasn't been built yet). For example in my 
previous residence I had a license to build a garage (with other residents) and 
on LUKR the garage was already built while it still has not moved off the 
drawing board for 20 years.

Hello Andrew.

I'm Jóhannes, current chairman of Hliðskjálf, which as OpenStreetMap á Íslandi 
is the local chapter in Iceland.

We are of course happy for any corrections - just be mindful that you are not 
adding buildings that have been demolished, there is a lot of construction 
going on and many satellite images are very outdated.

Staðfangaskrá import has not been active, we have not analyzed where we are

Post offices often have a good time trying to decipher incorrect

Þann 10.04.2018 13:16, Fredrik reit:

God dag islendinger,

I have thought of sending this email for some time, so here it is.

There are about 120 natural=fjords in OSM and most of them are around
Iceland. See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/xLM

Would any of you object if I change these natural=fjords to
natural=bay and add bay=fjord? Or possibly if someone at Iceland can
fix this?

There was some discussion about this at the Norwegian list in 2016
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no=en=y=_t=en=UTF-8=https%3A%2F%2Flists.nuug.no%2Fpipermail%2Fkart%2F2016-January%2F005860.html==url
.

The result was an agreement that fjord is a subtype of bay and instead
of fighting to get fjords rendered in the map tagging them as
suggested here would fix everything.

There is a github issue open for the default map style (carto)
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/788 related
to rendering fjords

This has been a fine example of how to decrease membership of a list

Re: [Talk-is] Eyðing gangstétta sem sérleiða

2017-09-13 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Við merkjum gangbrautir inn og meira að segja tengjum fláka þar sem 
gangbraut er ekki en ætlast til að umferð fari þar yfir (biðskyldur við 
mynni íbúagatna til dæmis).


Við höfum víkkað út stígakerfið einmitt til að auðvelda rötun, bætt við 
tengingum þar sem þarf.


Hættan við að nota sidewalk=left/right/both er að til dæmis left og 
right ræðst af áttinni sem gatan snýr í - ef henni er snúið við þá þarf 
að muna að snúa líka right/left.


Þetta tíðkast á mun fleiri stöðum en okkar, munurinn er kannski sá að 
ekki hafa allar gangstéttir verið merktar rétt, góður póstur um þetta er 
hér: 
https://blog.mapbox.com/improving-sidewalks-globally-in-openstreetmap-216bf34cca22


Þetta er aðferðin sem við ættum að beita í stað þess einfaldlega að eyða 
gögnum sem eru nytsamleg og mikil vinna liggur á bakvið.


Ég vil heyra frá Tómasi Inga, gefa því 1-2 daga en eftir það fara fram á 
að DWG afturkalli allar þessar breytingar - svo getum við farið yfir 
hvort að gangstéttir séu rétt taggaðar.

Kortið er ábótavant þarna, en verra er að rötunarvélin
virðist haldin þeirri misskilningi að ekki mega ganga eftir
götum.

Hæðarbyggð 7/9 : Hér er í þokkabót um götu að ræða sem er
merkt (tögguð) residential  :-)
(Og svo er þetta nálægt enda botnlanga í ofanálag.)

Annað mál er að auðvelt er að laga einstaka staði í OSM,
gefið að einhver staðfesti "ground truth". Framlengja gangstétta
og stíga.
Eða  hreinlega bæta við óformleg tenging (slóð sem sést á
grasi etc)
highway=path, informal=yes, visibility=good eða álíka

En aðalmálið í stærri myndinni er að laga rötunarvélina.
Gera ráð fyrri að hægt sé að fara af gangstétt / footway og

SUBJECT: Röng rötun í strætó appinu

Sælir

Ég fékk eftirfarandi póst vegna rangrar rötunar sem strætó
appið gefur. Það virðist vera að nota Open street map.


Sæll Ég hef sent póst á fulltrúa Garðabæjar, OSM og
strætó. Engin viðbrögð hafa verið. Þú getur fengið afrit
af þeim pósti. Þar er stungið upp á að ræða hvað sé
hægt að bæta við Karlabrautina. Garðabær skipuleggur
göngustíga, OSM setur þá inn í upplýsingakerfi sem strætó
notar og strætó ber ábyrð á að tölvan skili réttum
upplýsingum. Skoðum aðeins að fara frá Hæðarbyggð 9 að
Ásgarði. Ef þú skoðar kort frá OSM, sést að enginn
göngustígur er milli Hæðarbyggðar 9 og 7. Því er farin
lengri leið. Er hægt að laga þetta með því að framlengja
stíginn milli 9 og 7? Ef Garðabær segir að þar sé
göngustígur, þarf OSM að merkja hann inn. Annars ætti kannski
að "búa til" göngustíg þar á milli? Skoðum næst ferð frá
Furulundi 9 að Ásgarði. Ekki er hægt að fara yfir merktan
göngustíg milli biðstöðvanna Heiðarlundur og Furulundur. Í
lokin er farið upp Hæðarbyggðina og er gengið annað hvort
milli Hæðarbyggðar 5 eða 9 að Hæðarbyggð 7. En íbúar
Hæðarbyggðar 5 og 9 geta ekki notað þessa gönguleið. Allir
þrír þurfa að skoða þetta. Ég vil að þú takir þá með
sem þú telur hæfasta. Ekkert skilyrði er að ég sé í
þessum hóp. Ætti þetta að vera afmarkað verkefni, eða hluti
af öllu, sem á að ræða um? Ætti hópurinn að hittast fyrir
fund með strætó? Því næst yrði boðaður fundur með
strætó. Hvað ætti fundarefnið að vera? Kveðja Jón Gunnar
Pálsson


Eru einhverjar skýringar á því hversvegna þetta er svona? Veit
einhver hvaða fyrirtæki það er sem býr til strætó appið?

Re: [Talk-is] OSM Iceland road network data analysis

2016-12-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson

Thank you for this Michael.

Driveways are an interesting case - they are an obligation for the 
Vegagerðin *as long* as it is a residence. However if it is no longer a 
full time residence it is stricken of their list of maintained roads. 
Thus we can have these smaller roads appearing and disappearing from the 
official data.


We will look into your observations.


Regards,
Jóhannes

Komið þið sæl og blessuð.

My Icelandic language skills are not good enough to write a letter so 
I’m writing my message in English.


I did in the last time a road network analysis on OSM Iceland data. 
Here I checked with the road list from vegagerdin 
http://www.vegagerdin.is/vefur2.nsf/Files/Vegaskra_2015/$file/Vegaskra_2015.xlsx 
, if the roads and segments of roads are mapped correspondingly to the 
list.


As mapping basis I took the information from the OSM Iceland Wiki. 
Unfortunately this wiki wasn’t actualised in the last years, probably 
because it’s an awful manual work. I don´t know if there exist a plug 
in to actualise the road list in the wiki with a set of 
Overpass-queries. The information there is included in OSM, but not 
extracted and processed to the wiki yet.


In the road list from vegagerdin exist a new road network type "Sx". 
The Kjalvegur for example has this network type. I understand it as 
primary highland route, but left the mapped road as it was.


I focused on the 1 to 3 digits road reference numbers, the four digit 
roads I only looked at, when I strolled over it. When I found 
information about the road, mostly in OSM I tried to fix it immediately.


A few roads I found which I couldn’t identify in OSM. The road might 
exist with a different name and without the mapped reference number. 
As I can’t state a fixme statement on elements which I didn’t find, I 
list the roads here:
378 01  Skíðaskálavegur Hringvegur (1-d8), við Skíðaskála Hringvegur 
(1-d8)

413 03  Breiðholtsbraut Reykjanesbraut Hafnarfjarðarvegur (40)

Ytri-Sólheimar 1

7079  01  Núpsdalstunguvegur  Arnarvatnsvegur (578-05) Núpsdalstunga

The following roads mapped in OSM I couldn´t find in the road list 
from vegagerdin or the mapped road don’t correspond with the 
information in the vegagerdin road list:

882 01  Leyningshólavegur Villingadalsvegur (8370-01) Leyningshólar
915   Vesturárdalsvegur
2001  01

There are lots of roads in the list, where I couldn’t find the places 
from the list, especially when the road leads to a farm or house.


The list also gives the road length, where the length is measured over 
ground I guess. OSM has no elevation in the map so the measured road 
length is as the ground would be flat. The difference between these 
values should be under 10%. Unfortunately the difference on lots of 
the roads is much higher (up to 50%).
One reason for this could be that the road with certain reference 
number is much further mapped as vegagerdin states it. But on some 
roads also the mapping quality might be poor. But also on these I 
didn’t focus. I might try to improve the map in future when there is 
some time for it.


Also I realised that outside Reykjavík in the villages most of the 
schools aren’t mapped.  The schools are used in summer as guesthouse, 
so only the tourist infrastructure is mapped. Is this still correct? 
How to map this in OSM?


I hope that the Icelandic community have a look on some of the items.

[OSM-talk] Examples of well intentioned but wrong edits?

2016-10-13 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I'm giving a lecture in a weeks time on crowd-sourcing GIS data at a 
GIS-event in Iceland.


As we know OSM gets a bit of bad edits, some of them in good faith, a 
very minor part vandalism. I will highlight a couple of examples just to 
give people an idea of the risks but just looking at OSM itself so far 
we are well ahead in risk vs reward for an open GIS dataset!


I will mention the edit boom that came with Maps.me editing feature and 
have a couple of amusing examples from Iceland but would appreciate more.


Also if anyone has any statistics about vandalism ratio and other bad 
edits I would love to see that.

You sure about that? Plate tectonics means that everything is in

"adjustments" to WGS84 which have caused coordinates to change.


Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of plate tectonics.

Iceland has its own co-ordinate system ISN and makes an updated version 
every decade. We still use ISN93 mostly but we also have a ISN2004 and 
the difference there was between 7 cm and 23 cm from the previous 
decade. Iceland is slowly migrating not only north but the western part 
is going west and the eastern part is going more east with the southern 
part starting to lag behind in movement and a few points there starting 
to migrate more south.


Work is ongoing on ISN2016 measurements. 
http://www.euref.eu/symposia/2015Leipzig/06-12-Iceland.pdf


This is also why we are not always overly fastidious in making a 
millimeter accurate feature on OpenStreetMap because it is gonna shift 
anyways.

The actual address to that farm would be much shorter even, Hólar, 
Búðardal.


Simple phone book lookup gives us this

Probably you'll find a small sign by the driveway to the farm at the

I never saw this type of addressing on an envelope. It is interesting
because the system with the street name signs and the house number
plaques is very expensive, requires a lot of service, dedicated
lightning, etc.

Here is this place on the OSM map:

ve in. I believe w3w whilst
being a poor choice is a workable choice. And it may be a great choice
for the country if it works for them. If the country asked me, I would
not have recommended w3w, but dont hold it against them! Just like
using closed data, or proprietary software is a poor choice, it does
actually work. Microsoft or Esri products actually work pretty well!
(and so do their better FOSS alternatives of course). I do reserve my
vitriol to protect open data and open source, as this protects this
OSM community and foundation and what I think we stand for. Mongolia,
I believe made a good choice in their eyes for their country.

I hope this helps the perplexity, if there is genuine perplexity. Many
people do not understand the issues, and that's okay, and I want to
help people understand things if they are open to learn. And i hope
this helps understand some of the issues why people disagree with the
project if there is a genuine need to learn about some of these. I
want to help people empathise with others, to put themselves in their
opponents shoes and see that they are not actually opponents after
all!. I suspect the reality in many people's cases with controversial
subjects it is a mixture :)

Re: [OSM-talk] MAPS.ME edits - partly sub-standard

2016-06-20 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I've been using Maps.me myself and find it easy to add shops - although 
I'm missing many presets (I change them when I come home to the right 
one but other users will not do that generally).


Maps.me was perfect for one activity that is usually painful - updating 
shops inside Iceland's largest mall. Several had shut down and others 
opened and updating it as I walked past each one in Maps.me was very 
easy to do - for those that had shut down I modified the name to make it 
clear and then deleted node at home. 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39646645


It would be nice if there was a power-user setting on it - perhaps 
unlockable elsewhere (or based on edit # in OSM or something using 
non-Maps.me editors) so novice users can't wreak more havoc.

I've been editing in JOSM for years and just started editing with
Maps.me, and the fact that it's very fast and easy to make the edit is
the main reason I have. If I walk past a shop, it's very easy to add
it straight through the app, vs making a note and then spending time
back home converting that note into mapping in JOSM.

The down side of course is that the Maps.me data isn't updated very
frequently so I might be duplicating data which has been added after
Maps.me last generated the data extracts, or potentially already in
OSM but Maps.me wasn't rendering it (so I thought it didn't exist). I
think this is something Maps.me should address that if it finds a
similar tag nearby which was created at a time after your local
offline data and if so let you know about it before uploading.

It's also frustrating that I can't add key=value tags, as an expert
user this would be a handy option.

The reply from Maps.me was "We plan to add multi-lingual names in one of 
our future releases, we’ll think about your suggestion."


No timescale given. The reason for why "people are suddenly waking up" 
is because we are getting lots of edits now - that was not the case 
before - at least not in our area. Perhaps these are just very dedicated 
Chinese mappers that have suddenly arrived in Europe or the app has 
gained more traction and so more tourists are using it.


Example: (Russian?) tourist using name fields to write English descriptions.

* http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39823668

I'm thinking of the need to make some sort of a watch bot that keeps the 
correct names of places and warns if the names are changed (translations 
added or descriptions put in) - Data Quality Assurance is becoming a 
bigger and bigger issue in OSM where before Data Entry was sorely needed 
(and still is in many places).

Re: [OSM-talk] MAPS.ME edits - partly sub-standard

2016-06-17 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I've contacted Maps.me about this issue as we are cleaning up where people are 
adding English and Chinese names to the name field in Iceland.
I've suggested they have 3 name fields - name, name:en and a name:?? which is 
chosen by user in preferences (at install). They have acknowledged it but made 
no promises on how they will handle it.
This app is giving us an added editor manpower but we might need to help them 
to make the tool more useful - with more and clearer presets being one issue.

Efni: [OSM-talk] MAPS.ME edits - partly sub-standard 

Apparently Maps.me, the most popular open map app for mobile, has gained some 
editing functions recently. While this is great news (millions of new mappers), 
it also bears some potential for trouble, as these new mappers often don't seem 
to be familiar with OSM tagging.

In the past weeks there have been several complaints on the Italian mailing 
list (leading to reverts), and I am sure, elsewhere you will find similar 
issues.

One example: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40094970

The mapper added chinese names right into the name tag, but as this is a place 
in Italy, these should rather be in Italian.

Also the changeset comment seems to be autogenerated, what is not the worst of 
all possibilities, but it also isn't the best (there's no gain in information 
as to WHY an edit was performed, it contains only information WHAT was done, 
something you already see by looking at the changeset itself).

See also here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_changeset_comments

As it happens, I'm a maps.me user as well and have had a look at the new 
function. Maybe I haven't found it, but there are only very few informations 
(tags) from OSM on the actual objects (naturally, because they have to save on 
precious device space), and the level of zoom is limited (e.g. I couldn't zoom 
in to see all housenumbers, some of them have been omitted and this will 
inevitably lead to lots of newly created duplicates).

From my point of view, even as an experienced OSM mapper, it is currently 
almost impossible to make meaningful edits (in well mapped areas) with this 
app, because of the missing data. 

Cheers,
Martin

[Talk-is] Duglegir útlendingar

2016-06-16 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Útlendingar hafa verið duglegir að setja inn gögn á OSM núna nýlega með 
Maps.me appinu sem er stórfínt.


Appið er því miður ekki með stuðning við mörg tungumál þannig að 
viðkomandi bætir bara eigin þýðingu við nafnið, tli dæmis eins og 
gerðist hér: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40051735 þar sem 
einhverjir 16 eigindi fengu kínverska viðbót við nafnið sitt.


Ég lagaði þetta en næ líklega ekki öllu þannig að ef þið getið gluggað á 
ykkar áhugasvæði og tékkað á því hvort að heitin séu eitthvað að 
breytast þá væri það frábært.


Ég er búinn að hafa samband við Maps.me og biðja þá um að styðja amk 3 
tungumál fyrir nöfn (name, name:en og svo name:(valið af appnotanda)) en 
á eftir að fá svör.


Þetta kallar líklega á einhvers konar eftirlitstól sem við byggjum til 
og færi yfir nöfn á Íslandi.

Re: [OSM-talk] Duplicate house numbers

This is an import as we can see on the history of one of the nodes: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3696941268/history


Notice in some cases the same housenumbers are valid! Based on the 
aerial images this is not the case here as the cadaster import seems to 
be for the building footprint, the lot footprint and boundary(?) or 
maybe this was originally planned as 3 different lots. This looks like a 
manual cleanup operation.


A real world example of buildings having the same number because someone 
somewhere said it was ok: Dalvegur 18 (two different buildings with 
different businesses)

I suspect an import of some type but more importantly is the problem

They have the same values for

Re: [OSM-talk] A message to our friends at HOT, Peace Corps etc. about Changeset Comments

2015-11-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson

HOT uses the OSM database/platform and therefore it has to adapt and
follow OSM's rules. Nobody forces you to use OSM. Why don't you do
something like OpenHistoricalMap and use your own database basrd on
OSM software?


There are no rules for changeset comments. They are an optional feature, 
the number of empty comments each day is substantial yet I don't see 
them being advocated for removal.



A mapper should be able to get an idea what has been edited at a given
changeset without decrypting the changeset comment using an external
service (HOT tasking manager in this case). Who guarantees that HOT
tasking manager will still be online in 5 or 10 years?


This feature already exists on the OSM website, looking at changesets.

I have no problem with an entry in ANY language. Wolf, French etc etc. 
I probably won't understand it directly ... but I can use a web based 
translator.


No you probably will not be able to use a web based translator for the 
majority of languages. Setswana is the primary language of around 6 
million people in South Africa and Botswana (official language) and 
secondary of maybe 8 million more. There is no online translator for it. 
Those that have gotten used to Google Translate will be shocked to find 
out the number and size of many languages missing from it, nevermind the 
quality of automatic translations.


The number of hashtags in the comment might be getting a bit too much 
though!

And if on http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1300 i read:

"Please draw one large area outline around groups of buildings and tag

that is in violation of one of the core principles of OSM, namely to 
map

reality, what's on the ground.  It instructs mappers to map something
that does not exist in reality based on abstract geometric
considerations and to give it a tag that is meant for something
different.


What do you mean Cristoph? This is a long held convention to mark out 
residential areas. It also makes it easier to find areas which need more 
mapping at a later date. I've personally used this before in Botswana, 
unrelated to HOT.


HOT is a subset of contributors to OSM and are producing valueable data 
in areas which usually have nothing comparable. The antagonism visible 
here is astonishing.


The comments are still optional, they are not a rule as some have 
wrongfully declared. The most notable part in the antagonist comments 
were "I me myself and I" types, where YOU did not like to X and Y.


The contents of changesets can still be discerned, looking at one of the 
changesets whose comments Mr. Ramm was aghast over, the OSM website 
tells us what it contained:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/35429575

Here we see ways added included a water and lots of roads, plus two 
relations which were wood. Nothing complicated used here to ascertain 
what the changeset did.


This sort of pent up anger over nothing is self-defeating. I watch over 
changesets in 3 countries with daily activity (even if not thousands 
each day), if it is a new name mapping I will take a look at what was 
done. If it looks like a competent mapper I'll probably not bother more 
in overlooking their changesets. On occasions I do find mappers that are 
testing (a complete race track in the highlands of Iceland was a notable 
example), I fix the error introduced and friendly advice them on how to 
proceed.


Depending on changeset comments as a Vital Cog In Operation Of 
OpenStreetMap is futile when we have the actual data of what was done 
already visible and prominent. They are a nice feature, can be helpful 
but I will be checking a changeset from a new user regardless of the 
comment, that racetrack had a no comment or "added a road" on it if I 
recall.


Yes please use a good changeset comment if you can. No it is not a rule. 
Stop trying to make trouble because of a comment you don't like.

Re: [OSM-talk] open question about boundaries sharing nodes with ways or nodes

2015-10-14 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
It's not that simple. I work in an government agency and the issue of 
boundaries rises often, both for public and private issues.


Iceland is an advanced nation regarding technology adaption. However 
boundaries are not all clearly defined as GIS vectors and many of them 
are disputed.


There are many natural reserve areas, some small and some large - yet we 
do not have definite and GPS accurate definitions of them available yet. 
Most of them are based upon text descriptions of areas that were defined 
previously for another purpose. Travelling the country and documenting 
place names has proven to be an interesting experience - a survey was 
done earlier this century.


A common scenario is the definition of where two estates are adjacent to 
each other. The legal document defines the boundary as lying between 
place names #1 and #2, from where a direct line through to #3 and 
followed by the middle of a river. Not a single GPS point in that. Then 
we go to find where the place names are, it should be easy right? Not 
really, the new residents are unsure of where place name #1 is, it could 
possibly be that tiny hillock amongst many, or it could be the one 3 
hillocks over, next to the flat rock. So we already are unsure of our 
starting point, and each point has similar issues. Sometimes the place 
is defined as 50 paces from another place and then the measurement 
sticks used originally have been found and found wanting or being larger 
than they should...


A flash flood from a glacier melting changes the river regularly, 
shifting it faster around than in more stable geographical areas. And 
look at that, a volcano has just created a new lava field, which changed 
the course of a river by the virtue of completely closing off its 
previous path (Wikipedia: Nornahraun and Holuhraun and the river Jökulsá 
á Fjöllum).


There have been court battles and disputes all over the country and 
municipalities also have disputes, some based on these textual 
descriptions of places no one knows where are or where the features have 
shifted several times over since the original line was drawn in the 
unknown place.


So the government will tell you that the boundary is between these place 
names, and isn't always able to tell you if these place names are at the 
same spot as they originally were. There is work ongoing of converting 
these into GPS co-ordinates but that could have to go through courts in 
some cases.


So the government doesn't always have the definite answer via GPS 
points.




Þann 14.10.2015 11:43, Colin Smale reit:

Well, although it is definitely not unknown, I think it probably is
fair to call it rare in the grand scheme of things... The vast
majority of administrative boundaries in the world are not disputed,
and the ones that are, are more likely to be the national borders
(admin_level=2) than internal provincial or municipal boundaries, of
which there are many, many more.

[OSM-talk] The Proposed Great Colour Shift

2015-08-19 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
For those that did not check on Mateusz Konieczny diary entries[1], 
postings to this mailing list and github discussions then the Proposed 
Great Colour Shift might come as a surprise if it is implemented.


According to the github discussion there is an overwhelming consensus 
[2] on moving from current rainbow colour scheme for roads to a 
red-yellow only scheme. I am unsure of where this overwhelming consensus 
formed because I never saw it on this mailing list nor on talk-dev nor 
on announcements, I admit to be an infrequent IRC user but I didn't see 
this overwhelming consensus there and so far no one has been able to 
tell me where it formed or where I can find it.


The design goal seems straight forward, to discontinue green and blue 
for roads and move to red and reddish. For this to happen the decision 
was made to shift current primary, secondary and tertiary colours 
upwards so primary is now the colour of secondary and secondary the 
colour of tertiary. Leaving tertiary white.


Tertiary instead gets to be wider than residential and unclassified 
roads, but to be able to spot that you need to have it next to them to 
see which is the wider one.


This one simple change of bleaching tertiary however is something I find 
to be a great hindrance to mapping efforts, particularly in rural areas 
where the roads are isolated and panning over the map, wether in iD or 
using default tiles. Currently it is easy to spot tertiary roads snaking 
through valleys and over vast desert plains, they are yellow and the non 
tertiary roads are white. Tertiary is significant there as it denotes 
the roads between the villages and towns that are often unpaved but 
still the most important, even the only, road. Lesser white colours 
imply the roads not being between larger settlements although they could 
lead to hamlets. The guidelines for mapping in Africa state thus.


Removing the colour from tertiary makes all mapping that much harder to 
verify and quality check. Currently it is easy to see if a tertiary road 
is broken with a white unclassified bridge, not so in the proposed Great 
Colour Shift.


Mateusz has been forthcoming with all changes and done sterling work in 
displaying different areas and how they will look. But he acknowledges 
that this change is not beneficial everywhere on the map and now has a 
disclaimer:


Among potential problems are that it is now harder to recognise road 
type of given road, especially in situation where there is no 
possibility to compare it with other road types.

Such significant change will be confusing for current users of this style.
UK color coding of roads is well known for many people, for them a new 
style - even assuming that it would be intuitive for them - will be less 
useful.)



The question really arises if this change is beneficial or not for the 
project. Many hours have gone into it and doing CartoCSS on all these 
zoom levels is not trivial. But this is a major shift on the front page 
of our website, a blow to those who use the default tiles through uMap 
or similarly and depend on the UK rainbow road style and makes life 
harder for mappers to visually confirm the type of road.


Should this be a new, alternative style instead?

Re: [OSM-talk] Tagging concert / music hall

Hello Peter.

I found this same issue 2 years ago, when tagging Salurinn 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/180359924#map=19/64.11188/-21.90910


We achieve this by using the correct tag, in this case 
amenity=music_hall (both classical and smaller pop concerts are played 
there). There is no ultimate judge, use it and it becomes a standard.

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/13007/which-tag-should-be-used-for-a-concert-hall
The solution suggested there is to use 'theatre' for concert hall and 
nightclub for smaller concert halls.


In the Dutch language a theatre is something completely different than 
a concert hall: theatre is used for buildings where you can look at 
plays, cabaret, comedies. Concert hall is used for buildings where you 
can listen to classical music (e.g. Concertgebouw, Amsterdam). Music 
hall is used for buildings where you can listen to e.g. rock concerts 
or new, promising bands (e.g. Heineken Music Hall (HMH), Ziggo Dome 
(ZD), both in Amsterdam). A nightclub is associated with an intimate 
atmosphere where 'easy listening' or jazz music is played, with a 
limited number of visitors. HMH and ZD absolutely do not fit into this 
definition, they are now both tagged with theatre, which I consider 
wrong. So I'm strongly in favour of having appropriate tags for the 
before mentioned buildings: concert hall and music hall. How can this 
be achieved?

Rossleben is hard to beat.

I do have two more examples though:

Húsavík, small rural town in Iceland, plenty of landuse, a river, paths
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/66.0412/-17.3295

Smárar neigborhood in larger town Kópavogur in Iceland, landuse, roads, 
paths, sport fields, public and private parking and more

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/64.1005/-21.8933

Bokspits, a border town in Botswana, paths and gates and fences 
(probably trumped by Rossleben) plus an airport and border control. All 
links to other towns (similarly mapped and rural) are via at least 
Tertiary roads - as is most of Botswana that has been mapped so far.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-26.8939/20.6974

Personally I have not seen your suggestions as improvements on current

Secondary and Tertiary colors, all of which we use as accurately as 
possible in urban Iceland.

I am looking for well mapped rural area. I located some places but all
are either missing major features (like part of landuse) or quality of
mapping (especially landuses) is poor.

I am interested in places mapped better than my current test locations

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/49.87433/16.77617 - Czech
republic

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/55.4102/13.4749 - area

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/49.15249/21.07066 - Slovakia

republic

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.93190/7.08075 - Netherlands

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/53.2134/-1.7983 - rural area
where highway=footway are important (UK)

Also, is anybody aware about well mapped town/city with surroundings?
I would expect mapped landuses and buildings, with
highway=residential/unclassified/track used correctly.

I am looking for town/city without highway=unclassified used for all
roads in town, without highway=residential linking villages, without
track used instead of surface=unpaved and without roads linking
settlements turning into highway=residential within villages/towns
(also, without other less typical significant mistakes in road
tagging).

These test locations are used during developing of road style for
Default map style (to test various ideas in multiple varied
locations -
as changes improve situation for some places and make it worse in
other).

[OSM-talk] 3D help needed

2015-07-05 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson

Greetings.

I'm in touch with a person that added many buildings in Iceland as 3D 
models in Google Earth some years ago. You can find many of them there 
if you type in Kvosin into Google Earth - they look really good.


He is willing to add the 3d models to OSM but neither of us has any 
knowledge on how to go about doing it. He creates the models in Sketchup 
and tried exporting as VRML for OpenBuildingModels but was unsuccesful 
in uploading them, getting undefined as an error.


Is there any 3D specialist out there that can assist us? Currently no 
building in Iceland on OSM has any 3D texturing, we haven't advanced 
past building:levels and roof:shape yet.


If you are knowledgable about the 3D aspects of OSM and willing to help 
us out please contact me.

I wonder what you think of holiday-mapping. Does not have this the

I'm thinking here of e.g. Overlanders that will map campsites and 
other tourist information on a otherwise possibly empty map in Africa 
or Asia.
But I also thought that there are other popular holiday destination in 
e.g. Europe that were mapped by tourists instead a locals.


Do you see this as a problem as well ?
I'm assuming no. I watch changesets in Iceland and we get a fair number 
of tourist changesets, which we welcome (and fix if needed - spelling 
mostly).


In 2009 Frederik gave an interview to Steve Coast where he said his 
biggest fear was that OSM would go towards elitism - that only certain 
people would be allowed to map. I'm hoping he hasn't changed his mind 
(although that is of course everyones prerogative). 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN1pjZsL1mA


Defining areas to be local and to only be touched by locals and, worse, 
forming their own unique cultural mapping style (buildings are now 
lines, roads are areas etc) that would be incompatible with the rest of 
the map, these things would be a form of elitism, no outsiders allowed.


There is no remote mapper that I know of that believes they can produce 
a better map than a local can, as I've categorized it in my tool then 
mapping is at least a two phase action, one that can be done remotely 
and the other locally. Sharing the remote burden all over the world 
instead of a small local populace, probably with limited internet 
connectivity, hardware and leisure time - to me that can only be a good 
thing.


No village left behind.

Re: [OSM-talk] Some thoughts against remote mapping

I find this point of view to be astounding in its arrogance and indeed 
blatant colonialistic spirit. The noble savages should not be influenced 
by us, the decadent Westerners. A sickening insular attitude that I have 
not found in similar projects like Project Gutenberg and Wikipedia.


When do I stop being a local, when I cross my street, when I cross into 
the next neighborhood, when I cross into the next settlement, next 
region, next country? Where is the limit of local?


There is nothing taken away by remote mapping, indeed what is given is 
very valuable, time and commitment to building a base map upon which it 
is easier for locals to add their own flavour.


I've written some thoughts on this myself, and indeed find this to be an 
opportune time to point at my project Askja, on how to make mapping 
remotely even easier and more focused.


My thoughts are found here: http://joi.betra.is/?p=1769

The TL;DR is, we are building a map of the world and we need more people 
to do more work on more places, remotely or not.

Hi,

I'm known for being critical of armchair mapping by people with no
personal connection tho the area being mapped. Whether done for fun, for
money, or to help, I think that in most cases it is a bad idea that runs
against the spirit of OSM.

(I'm willing to concede that there are exceptions, and that sometimes
doing something that's against the spirit may still be useful. But these
are individual cases, to be carefully justified, and remote mapping
should never become anyone's standard mode of contribution.)

Until now I thought that the main exception, one that even I would have
to accept, is mapping for humanitarian purposes.

I was all the more surprised - positively surprised - to read this
thoughtful essay by Erica Hagen, who founded Map Kibera:

http://groundtruth.in/2015/06/05/osm-mapping-power-to-the-people/

I'd encourage everyone to read that. It questions some rarely questioned
assumptions; it even says that mapping by locals doesn't really count
if those locals are just doing it for the money (a sentiment that I've
always felt but rarely dared to express, because who can expect locals
in the poorest parts of the world to map for fun like privileged
westerners do?).

It also says that local isn't local if the locals from the wealthy
city map the slum in their midst. I've tended to routinely associate the
call for more diversity in OSM as mainly being one for levelling the
gender playing field but this article goes much further.

In some parts the article echoes a rather more acerbic posting written
last month by Gwilym Eades, a university lecturer in London:

http://place-memes.blogspot.de/2015/05/the-hubris-of-proactive-disaster-mapping.html

which essentially accused humanitarian mapping (and as I would add, any
remote mapping really) of homogenising, westernising, and colonising
the map.

I don't agree with everything written in these postings but they
certainly deserve some wider audience, and that's why I am writing this
here - since neither author is on these lists and I haven't seen their
messages mentioned or quoted anywhere.

I think the tl;dr of both these postings could be: Whenever you give
someone a map by remote mapping, you also take something away from them.

Harsh words.

In the final paragraph of your blog post, you write:

In addition the locals are not the only people who will need to use a
map. Tourists, passers-by, people moving their goods or offering their
services also need maps of places where they go. Everyone needs a map
even if not everyone wants to make it or use it.

But this is exactly the criticism we're facing - bluntly put:
Westerners need maps of places so they can conquer them by selling
their products and services.
Who said anything about Westerners? Projects like mapping entire 
Botswana and Lesotho is not for HOT issues, acute distress. It is for 
making it easier for the local economies to grow, to use maps like the 
Western world does to great effect.


My words were harsh because the original premise was harsh, that by 
mapping remote places we are colonising them. We are not and to think I 
was referring to Westerners when I referred to who could use the map 
just show that the viewpoint is still misguided.


I'm thinking of the people that take their produce to market, using SMS 
they get prices from places and using offline OSM maps they can plot a 
route to the destination, even if it is in a nearby town they haven't 
been before - it allows them to calculate the travel time so they can 
see if it is cost effective to go a longer route for a small gain in 
sale price. They are using bicycles, scooters or they can band together 
and several of them buy a bigger vehicle that makes it more cost 
effective for several farmers to find a better market.


I've never been to Botswana and I'll probably never go to Botswana and 
I'm not starting a business in Botswana nor am I involved with a company 
doing business there. Once we get enough locals interested and 
contributing I'll gladly stop contributing there and find another area 
that needs a helping hand.

An app developer in Botswana I've been in contact with has made the 
first app made in Botswana that uses OSM, Kabby Cab for the 
entrepreneurial Kabby system (independent mini buses) in Gaborone and 
he's working on expanding it into an app for ordering taxis and more. As 
anyone knows getting something like this off the ground requires willing 
participation from everyone else, but now they have the tools to start 
working towards it.


The app is at 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keneilwe.kabbycab


I'll let your insight work on finding out the beneficiaries of such 
locally made apps for local services.


Astounding to have to argue for better maps, simply astonishing. As for 
the blank slate is the only way to get dedicated mapping community 
then we are doing great aren't we? 10 years old and we have millions of 
small active mapping communities... or do we.


Building infrastructure happens in many places, not just for map data 
but also in all the meta data around that data, workflows, feedback and 
more. All things that are being worked on in various ways and many of 
which are designed to give people better feedback and encourage them to 
contribute more. The blank slate has had a decade and its done well in 
many areas, but I for one don't see it as feasible to give it another 
two decades to see if the theory, based on gut feeling, works in the 
rest of the map.

2015-05-30 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I find it odd that inaction, incapability or incompetence of local sign 
installers is a worry for a database of geographical facts, which OSM is.


Some roads are hundreds of miles long, at what interval does it need to 
be signed for it to be considered signed. Beginning and end? Every 100 km?

Some streets have signs that are now obscured by trees and bushes.

On the ground rule is a rule of thumb, not the entirety of factual 
truth. People similarly being lax in making sure their homes conform to 
local rules about address visibility (huge pet peeve of mine since being 
a paper boy in the 1980s) should not hinder us in giving their homes the 
proper address in our database of facts.


If you wish to use on the ground as the only rule then we can just 
forget about the whole thing - defeated by inaction of people that 
should be putting up signs and maintaining them.


As for the name inflation, there is no such thing. Illegal imports maybe 
but name inflation as a problem does not exist. Any talk of too much 
data by adding an extra name field to a node is defeated soundly by any 
3d mapping entity. I've looked at some of the 3D stuff done and it blows 
my mind how detailed and cool it is, then when I peek at the code behind 
it I admit defeat in trying to understand it at a glance as it is an 
intricate series of relations upon relations. A simpler example is Stade 
de France, fantastic stadium - was there myself at 1998 World Cup.


Data bloat can happen, Wikidata is too fragile, we need our own store of 
data (POI extra details, names, translations etc) that can exchange 
material with Wikidata but is under full OSMF control - and not 
controlled by notability deletionists. In 5 years time would we be 
arguing about bloat in OSMData as someone suddenly purges some section 
from it?

Is a gaming company not worthy of adding information? Again a matter of

they are not creating battlefields. Do we now require each contributor

tackle these two questions, who should be able to add information to the

have a viable and published method and procedures in place on how to 
handle multi-lingual names in a different manner, e.g. with an outside 
source, then reverting any name translations is hard to argue for.


The multi-lingual aspect of OSM is one of its absolutely strongest 
advantages. Being able to create maps of regions in the languages of the 
local population is quite simply fantastical and maybe under-appreciated 
by those who speak dominant languages, worldwide or regional.


As an example Botswana has English as an official language and Setswana 
as the overwhelming majority language. However it also has 20 smaller 
languages, some of them shared with neighboring nations and some very 
small local ones. Those languages already fight for their existence as 
the English names are given to their villages on official maps, with 
maybe the local in a footnote. Using OSM we can present them with maps 
of their own homes in their own languages.


So the question is also, do we outsource this strength of OSM? Wikidata 
has notability problems and so I'm wary of it, no matter the guidelines 
there is no shortage of people who deem their judgement in what human 
knowledge is worth retaining to be superior to everything else.


Is name inflation bad? Doubtful in my mind, even the opposite.

I like the concept and if easy solutions are available for tilemakers to join

Efni: Re: [OSM-talk] Can wikidata links help fight name inflation? 

Hi Fred,

Great question.

I feel that we should link to wikidata and this is a good example of why. There 
are lots of things that are in wikidata that are not suitable for OpenStreetMap 
tags but could be used by creative folk in a data  maps mashup. Looking at the 
entry for London [1] I see population over time, previous mayors, sister cities 
and even a list of notable people who were born there. It also has all the 
language names via it's links to wikipedia articles in each language.

For the name:ru example do we know how these were added? Was it by just a few 
people? If so we could ask them if they'd be happy for their contribution to be 
added to wikidata under it's CC0 license. This could be a nice little way of 
promoting ties between wikidata and OSM and hopefully we'd both benefit from a 
few more contributors.

Concerns include whether wikidata pages get removed if they are not deemed to 
be noteworthy enough. One solution would be work with wikidata to create a tool 
that queries OSM for use of a wikdata Q value before removing suspected 
non-noteworthy pages. My other concern is around licenses. We should not 
dictate that this data is not for OpenStreetMap, please use wikidata if the 
contributor prefers OSM's share alike and attribution license.
Best regards,
Rob

[OSM-talk] Continent Oceania or Australia

2015-04-29 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I was doing an overpass query for place=continent and noticed that we do 
not have Oceania but Australia with this note:


Note that Oceania, which is a more common designation in some 
countries, is actually based on a different continental classification 
system to the one OSM uses. So please translate Australia as Australia, 
not as Oceania


However looking at what is within is_in:continent=Australia then I 
only get regions and cities and no countries. is_in:continent=Oceania 
gives me the normal countries we think of as Oceania (including 
Australia the country).


Thus it seems place=continent;name=Australia is now outdated and not 
used. According to usage it seems clear that we are now using the 
regular Oceania classification.


I propose we change this to reflect to current usage.

Re: [OSM-talk] Continent Oceania or Australia

2015-04-29 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
Iceland belongs to Europe in the same manner as Oceania exists of 
Australia and the islands. Thus we are using the cultural constructs of 
Continents and not the geographical landmass (or Eurasia would be 
instead of Europe and Asia).


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent
As a cultural construct, the concept of a continent may go beyond the 
continental shelf to includeoceanic islands 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_islandand continental fragments. 
In this way, Iceland is considered part of Europe andMadagascar 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascarpart of Africa. Extrapolating 
the concept to its extreme, some geographers group theAustralasian 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasiacontinental plate with other 
islands in the Pacific into one continent calledOceania 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania. This divides the entire land 
surface of the Earth into continents or quasi-continents.^[10]

Wikipedia's list of continents

I think that we probably should not adjust the classifications based

Re: [OSM-talk] New features in iD - looking for feedback and beta testers..

2015-03-28 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson

Thank you for that Bryan.

I found the C/V mechanism on live by accident recently and was ever so 
happy to see it introduced. I have not tried it on an Apple.


The mini-map feature is fantastic, although on my keyboard it is the + 
button, the same location on keyboard as / in your case. The lower 
button next to Return key is how I sometimes describe it.


I will see if I can test the other features advertised. One feature I am 
missing from JOSM is the ability to select several adjacent buildings 
and Square them all, currently squaring each one in iD deforms another 
and I end up with strange wedges using iD.


Thanks for a fantastic editor!

Hi Everyone… It’s been a busy few months for the iD team, and we have 
a handful of new features that will be launching soon.  We’d love to

These features are available now by using the latest development 
branch of iD hosted at http://openstreetmap.us/iD/master/
Please try them out and report any issues or questions on our Github 
issue tracker: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues



- Copy and Paste selected features with ⌘-C and ⌘-V
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2498

- Conflict Resolution
iD will now check if any of your modifications conflict with edits 
made by other users, and will present you with a UI to see the 
difference and choose how to resolve the conflict.

https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2489

- Smarter Way Movement
When moving a connected way, iD will now slide the moving way along 
the non-moving way, rather than “zorroing” the connection point.

https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2516

- Don’t delete ways that are part of a route/boundary Relation
This will prevent a bunch of breaking edits to relations - Thanks 
RichardF!

https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2526

- Map-In-Map
You can now bring up a locator mini-map with the ‘/‘ key.  By default 
it displays the current area but zoomed out by -6.  Zoom and pan the 
mini-map to quickly find and move to different locations.

Adding surface tags sounds more like an upgrade than an outbreak. 
Tagging for the router surely means that you are tagging roads based on 
their finer properties, single-lane or dual-lane, asphalt or gravel etc.


Also if the road is less traveled it sounds like a no-brainer to tag it 
as unclassified instead of tertiary?

The new color looks even worse in non-garden areas where the new

This lack of contrast for the new color makes it harder to see 
buildings, the only thing it does is make the address stand out in the 
cases there is one at the highest zoom. For people with worse eyesight 
this makes the map much less accessible than before.

Also none of the demos linked had Landuse=residential as background - 
the lack of contrast there as buildings merge into the landuse is my

However this seems to be a nice way of telling us to stop using that tag

renderer makes the buildings nearly impossible to see if they are on top 
of Landuse=Residential then Landuse=Residential will no longer be used, 
at least not by me.

Re: [OSM-talk] The world’s best addressable map

2014-10-23 Thread Jóhannes Birgir Jensson
I like addresses but they don't behave like you would think. For example 
we have a part of a street that has each individual flat as its own 
address number. We first used the number;number;number; approach but I'm 
now in favor of naming the house what it says on the front (the range 
37-51) and then put address nodes on the building so it appears in 
search, with roughly the position accounting for where in the house the 
apartment is. In this case the numbers closest to the street are at the 
bottom floor (the stadium approach I favor). I'm in favor of moving this 
same method over to the other houses.


http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/64.13635/-21.79883

As for being able to search within a specific town or area then I think 
we should look again at relations and super-relations. You could group 
streets relations into a neighborhood relation and then into a town or 
municipality relation etc. This of course works very differently based 
on country but for Iceland I can't see us hitting any limits.

been received from Iceland, Italy and Japan.  All three have the honor
and the pain of having to beta test the procedure, mainly providing us
with some additional documentation. I'm sure translating the respective
articles is the main issue, but I can't see how minimal due diligence
can be avoided without creating a liability nightmare.

There are further organisations that have indicated their willingness to
join us and I would expect a few more applications in the next couple of
months.

Simon,

I note in [1] that there are now three applications to the Local
Chapter Agreement [2] and these are being processed now.

In light of the current discussions on transparency and holding the
board to account, can I ask whether it possible to disclose these just
in case there are any other local groups that feel they represent the
geographic regions included in the first three applications.

Also I'm curious :-)

Best,
Rob

Re: [OSM-talk] GoPro video traces?

I think you are looking for Mapillary!

Mapillary images are now built into the iD editor, if you go into 
Background settings you can check the Photo Overlay (Mapillary) option 
and see images from there.


Example area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/64.08253/-21.80923

There are many people who record both a gps trace and a video of their 
itinerary.
Do you think it would be viable to use these videos as a sort of 
street view by associating the frames to a location? When there is no 
gps trace, it could be done by interpolation, defining synchronization 
points between map and video.


It is not 360°, but at least there would be some images of remote areas.

Cheers,
Micru

Well all the images are under CC-BY-SA license

http://www.mapillary.com/legal.html

I don't see anyone at the moment making another non-profit solution that 
gives an instant benefit to OSM (via iD editor). Storage space and 
bandwidth are never free while volunteer time is, wether it is 
programming or contributing material, so until then anyone offering a 
similar service will require income to pay for it.


Mapillary is the best answer to your question at this point in time. 
That is all I can say.

The business activity of the for-profit company Mapillary is not new. 
Before it was acquired by Google, Panoramio did the same:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoramio

I don't see any point in working for free for a private company so 
they can sell their services to third parties. I was asking here to 
see if there is a not-for profit way of reaching the same goal.


Thanks for your support,
Micru
