It probably does. I think the scanned topographic maps are on the same new, slower server. On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 11:21 PM, Russ Nelson <nel...@crynwr.com> wrote: > Paul Johnson writes: > > On Sun, Dec 18, 2016 at 1:59 PM, Ian Dees <ian.d...@gmail.com> wrote: >

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Large-Scale Imagery degraded this month :(

I run the tile.openstreetmap.us server and noticed this change. Thanks for finding the USGS link: I saw it a while ago but then couldn't find it when I was trying to debug the problems with the server. The "usgs_large_scale" layer on tile.openstreetmap.us is now caching the USGSNAIPPlus layer, but

[Talk-us] OpenStreetMap US Board Elections

Good morning, talk-us! I wanted to remind everyone here that the OpenStreetMap US board elections are happening this week. I sent out ballots to current members last night. If you didn't receive an email and expected to, please head to https://osmus-membership.herokuapp.com/membership to check on

I'm interested in making some more of these. Anyone want to put together a design? I can order some and/or set up a page for people to order some for themselves. On Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 8:11 PM, Russ Nelson wrote: > Cleaning out my office. Found an envelope with about 80

Indeed. But it was from 2015. Why is it coming up again 6 months later? On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 5:51 PM, Nicolás Alvarez <nicolas.alva...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2016-07-11 12:30 GMT-03:00 Ian Dees <ian.d...@gmail.com>: > > On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 5:23 PM, Blake Girardot

Slack offers an irc gateway if you'd prefer to connect to slack from your irc client. Just sign up for the slack team and look in the "integrations" section for information about how to connect your irc client. On Mar 29, 2016 11:33 AM, "Toby Murray" wrote: > I have set up

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

Hi Steve and list members, OSM US already set up a Slack that has a few dozen people on it. Originally the board used it solely for internal communications but now there are plenty of folks hanging out talking about OSM in general (not just OSM US). One particular nicety of our Slack team is that

Try browsing the map in your area with this debug slippy map (double click to zoom, shift-double-click to zoom out): http://tile.openstreetmap.us/usgs_scanned_topos/preview.html I cleared out the disk cache for this layer a couple months ago to save some space so the areas you're looking at might

A few years ago I started collecting information about how DOTs announce major changes and construction and didn't get very far. In fact, I only found Minnesota's DOT RSS and Newsletter ( http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadwork/current.html) before getting distracted and mapping. I would be happy to

Re: [Talk-us] Where to find airport information?

Keep in mind that it's perfectly acceptable to set up a private runway/airfield that isn't listed on any FAA or official source. The two examples you give are pretty clearly airfields with runways (you can see where the runway lights are, they have support buildings, and the first link has a

Re: [Talk-us] USGS Topo Map Tiles

These tiles are run by me via OSM US. I recently cleared out a bunch of cached tiles, so the server has to go request them from the USGS server again in new areas. This will take a bit longer than instant, so JOSM might be timing out. Once you visit these areas once, the tiles should stick around
