Hi, After a recent spate of OSM activity, especially with regards to rendering and so on, I've put together a bookmarklet designed to help visualize changes to OSM data in Mapnik more rapidly.
http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/up-to-date/ "Using osmosis, osm2pgsql, and Mapnik, a bookmarklet which will draw the 'current' state of the database, delayed by less than 10 minutes. Simply press this button, and an image will be drawn over the map showing the current state of the database." You simply drag the bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks toolbar, and click it on any OSM map: InformationFreeway, main map, /browse/ pages, etc. I believe that all the kinks of this particular service have been worked out at this point, though I'm happy to take any feedback or criticism you have. (Please CC me on any important feedback.) Best Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
