Pieter sent me credentials for the WMS, WFS servers of Toerisme Vlaanderen. While working my way through the manual of QGIS, this seemed like a good way to practice... So I connected to the WFS server and found the cycling node network's nodes and routes. QGIS makes it trivial to convert these

Glenn, did you take a look at wandelknooppunt.be ? It shows all the walking network nodes. You can click on the nodes and it compiles a route from that, following the walking network routes between the numbered nodes. A similar thing exists for cyclist. The user should be able to compose his/her

As soon as they do, give us a sign. I have a script to do quality control on the node networks. This can be expanded quite easily to compare to an upstream source. Noël is also the person who has helped with getting permission to publish the data from De Lijn. I'm gaining a lot of experience with

I had been considering to go to Karlsruhe that weekend, but this is nearer and possibly more worthwhile, so I'm subscribed now. Being a minimalist and given my name is a well guarded secret I subscribed as Jo Jo :-) I hope more people will attend though. I need to rest for an hour around noon

Nice! I was also thinking about Karlsruhe but it was expensive to go last time and I didn't really get any work done. Maybe next time... I will have to check with my girlfriend first and see if she will give me permission to go that weekend! :-) I'll get back to you when I'm sure I can join...

Importing this data into OSM is never going to work I think, but just like the AGIV data, it can be used to aid mapping. This way we can get the data into OSM to a quality level even exceeding the original data. Something I'm sure data providers are interested in. We are doing a similar thing
