Re: [OSM-talk] obsolete TIGER-tags

Yeah, in preparation for Operation Cowboy I have tried to get a few things done to make things easier on remote mappers. I sent a pull request to update the P2 imagery URL to point at a new set of TIGER road name tiles that have all the abbreviations expanded so there is less uncertainty for armch

Re: [OSM-talk] New History tab for openstreetmap.org (beta)

Holy smokes this is great. What is the status of the data backing it? I see one changeset a coworker just made to our office building (new user today!) but a changeset I made to to highway west of town on December 31st doesn't seem to be coming up. This is the changeset that isn't showing up: http

Re: [OSM-talk] Can Google use our data?

Both of these are definitely not copies of OSM data. The trail has more detail in OSM and they are offset from each other by several meters. And theirs doesn't go across the river. It is ridiculous to think that google is going to take our data and make that many changes to it before putting it up

Yes. The database server is offline. I don't know why or when it will be back. London should be waking up here shortly. I'm sure there will be a better response then. Toby On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:44 AM, Jo wrote: > Hi, > > Is the server down? I can't up or download anymore since last night.
