Update: John (Robert Peterson) has provided me with thumbnails of all the images so the script should almost completely stop hitting John (McKerrell)'s server. It will still access it if it comes across an image it doesn't have the GPS information for but there's only a small number of those left. The outcome of this is that each image should now take less than 12 seconds to load (!) and in fact most should be instant. It's interesting looking at the map (http://milliams.com/verticalitymetre/map.html) as now there are enough images tagged to see a pattern in them. I've also added the option of some backgroundy Cloudmade tiles so that you can see the points better. In other news, we recently passed the 50% mark for images being tagged with about a fifth of those being tagged more than once. Check out the statistics page (http://milliams.com/verticalitymetre/stats.php) to see the top images. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
