South African, Cape Town Mappers...
Last month at InfoActivism (http://infoactivism.org/) I met Joy Olivier
with ikamvayouth.org, an NGO working for youth empowerment in South
Africa. After hearing about OSM, Joy became interested in introducing
I have a similar problem with a GPS where the CPU sometimes takes too long
to get out of idle / sleep mode when the data is arriving.
So I implemented an algorithm that looks for the largest subset of points
that does not contain any jumps or faults. So for example if samples 2, 7, 8
and 9 are

Hello Daniel,
Hi Daniel,
I wrote a program (osmunda) that scans a GPX
tracklog for maneuvers that are 'impossible' according to the given
OSM data. There's a reasonable description of it in the 'routing' archive of
August 2008.
It's part of gosmore. Do an SVN checkout of one of the August /

I support you and I would like to go even further. Namely any license

Hi,
From what I've read on talk-legal on more than one occasion : Deriving
individual nodes and individual segments on a small scale is OK. Esp.
when they are derived from raw facts (photos and gps traces). But
extracting a whole bunch of nodes and segments that link up is bad.
It's not that
My vote is for anything that includes amenity=bus_station, e.g.
amenity=bus_station
minibus_taxi_rank=yes
Then it will show up on more renderers and public transport queries.
