Re: [Talk-GB] Mentors
Hi Jack, Welcome to mapping in the west country. Without any in-depth checking the service roads you've mapped look okay Drawing in a roundabout isn't too hard. Just split the road(s) that you want to insert the roundabout into, draw in a rough circle for the roundabout (doesn't have to be a perfect geometric circle), tag it appropriately and reconnect the previously split roads to the roundabout. Practice makes perfect. My experience with built-in mobile phone GPS receivers is that the accuracy isn't as good as dedicated GPS units. I guess you can test it by travelling over some roads that have already been mapped to see if what you get is usable. regards, Kevin On Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 8:48 PM, Jack Stringer jack.ix...@googlemail.comwrote: Well as we are on the subject of people being mentors. I have just done my first bit of mapping today. After I finished work I went to KFC for dinner (can't be bothered to cook) then all of a sudden I felt like doing some driving around. So I went around the trading estate and as it is a weekend its easy to drive about with out looking too suspicious. I have just got home and uploaded my gps log and I have added a few ways, added a few businesses. Could someone have a quick look and tell me if I am half way there. ... ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
[Talk-GB] printing from website
I don't think I expressed myself clearly in the lazyosm session.[1] I would like to see a simple 'Print' button or tab . This tab would show something like the walking-papers.org 'Make a Print interface' centered on current point at current zoom. So that a regular someone coming to the website can see obviously that they can print the maps well and find it _easily_ and _intuitively. imho the export tab is too complicated for that. Regards, Daniel [1] and I'm embarrassed because I'd forgotten how to print using the export tab - but that kinda illustrates this point. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] printing from website
If you use your browser's print option you get a full page (on landscape) map of the current zoom area. What else would you like to see?
