Re: [talk-au] JOSM on handheld device
Ive tried a few packages such as opencitymap and OSM-tracker, but they all seem to have pre-requesites that arent identified on the download sites. I figure I cant be the only person who wants to edit OSM from my GPS device, so Im hoping someone might have a few ideas for apps worth a play with, before I give up and look at writing my own. I use osm2go on a nokia n810: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/osm2go It is written in C, and it might be a decent starting point. I haven't poked the code at all to see how portable it is, but it is actively developed and very usable.

If you need to break the current specification to do so, then make a note on the wiki page. Tagging it highway=service seems wrong. Service roads do not go underwater. So, where should it terminate, before the water? Or at a junction with the polygon? Neither of these choices is really suitable, so leading a way into the water seems the best option to me. Also, from the wiki for 'service': Generally for access to a building, motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park, etc.. This doesnt sound wrong to me, if a service road can lead to a beach or campsite, why not to a boatramp? The tagging system is supposed to be flexible and updated to reflect changing requirements, after all. I thought the tagging system was meant to be consistent, before being flexible. If everyone tags boatramps in their own 'flexible' way, how is any renderer supposed to know what to do, for every possible variant? I believe it should be discussed in here, and the general consensus should be applied when tagging, rather than everyone going off with their own idea.

That was my initial thinking. When I tagged it like that, it didn't render of course. And I thought it important for a boat ramp to show up. If only highway=ford rendered. But that's not right for a boat ramp either. Do you mean make a note on the Australian Tagging Guidelines and tag the way as leisure=slipway? As a traffic way, it really should have a highway=* tag, shouldn't it? John H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Blue?
Yes, the background throughout most of metro Perth is blue. At higher zoom levels any tiles that don't have blue background will become blue when submitted for rendering (by requesting the tile with /dirty added to the URL). From a brief look the coastline appears to be intact and I can't see any way located on the boundary of the blue background which might be the cause. Arie.

Maybe it's global warming raising the sea level? It's also apparent at most zoom levels when zooming in. I'd have a go at fixing it, but I'm not sure where to start? -- Andrew Gregory mailto:and...@scss.com.au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

How about tagging boat ramps as: highway=service service=boat_ramp I think a slipway is different from a boat ramp. I know a slipway as a track (perhaps with rollers) for launching boats and for winching them ashore for repairs.

I know a slipway as a track (perhaps with rollers) for launching boats and for winching them ashore for repairs. I think slipway is the British term. From the leisure=slipway wiki page: A slipway is a ramp into the water for launching a boat. In Australia they are referred to as boat ramps. In the US they are often referred to as boat landings as well as boat ramps. They are typically simply a concrete ramp at the end of an access road or track into the water. The boat owner backs a vehicle with a boat trailer down the ramp until the trailer is in the water and floats the boat off. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
