Re: [Talk-GB] Implicit speed limits: What to tag in built-up areas?

I realise I'm going a bit OT here and this is more a dev topic, but while we're on this topic, I'm just wondering whether it possible to authenticate via OSM OAuth from an app directly? StreetComplete calls the login page of OSM by invoking the web browser. I'm guessing the answer might be

Re: [Talk-GB] Christmas / New Year Footpath Mapping meet

Maybe a long shot but is anyone attending who might be coming from the Derby/Uttoxeter/Stoke areas? Reason being, I'm probably staying with my family in Cheshire that week, and might be able to make it if anyone can give me a lift from a station on the Crewe-Derby line. Or even somewhere

[Talk-GB] The OSM UK map

Hello everyone, Much of this is being discussed in Loomio but was having a discussion over the weekend with a fellow mapper and we thought that it might be valuable to mention it on the mailing list too. As you may know, the plan is to produce a UK specific OSM mapping site. A start on

[Talk-GB] OSM UK Web Map - Interested in contributing?

Hello everyone, I'm leading the project to develop the map on the future OSM-UK website and am looking for contributors. To summarise: the idea is to do a UK-specific map rendering, with a map friendly for countryside users such as walkers, cyclists and horse riders as well as general map

Re: [Talk-GB] Rendering Stiles

Hi, Not just yet but the latest version of Freemap (www.free-map.org.uk) will shortly show stiles - along with field boundaries which is something I've been meaning to do for ages but never got round to until now. In case you're not sure it's "barrier=stile" to

[Talk-GB] Location: High accuracy mode on android

Hi, just wanted to check something. Unintentionally I had location on High accuracy mode on android when mapping last week... Annoyingly it sets it to this each time you turn location on... And the documentation says it uses Google location services. Will this violate any copyright? Hope not as

Indeed - unless they have foot=yes, foot=permissive, access=permissive (etc) or designation=public_footpath, we are in no way telling them that they are public access. It is completely unreasonable for landowners to have a go at us just for showing a path on the map. Just because it's on the
