Well I just went ahead and did it with the JOSM plugin. I think the desired effect was achieved. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/6922696
Turns out he thought he was just making changes to a local copy of the data but was actually uploading the changes to the server. The changeset tags indicate he was using mapzen beta. Does that have offline .osm editing capabilities? The project is to make a map that will be useful to disabled individuals at Kansas State University. He wants to add information about stops that the Disabled student services bus makes but he thinks this may not be appropriate for adding to the OSM database because it isn't really a public service. Hence he was trying to edit data locally to add these stops and remove nodes that he doesn't want rendered (like recycling bins and bicycle parking). I Think I will work with him to come up with a custom Maperitive ruleset to get what he wants. At least for starters. It seems like a pretty easy rendering setup for someone who isn't an IT professional. Ideally I could convince my university to use OSM for the official campus map (I'm trying to do this) and then the disability amenities could be one of several available layers on the official campus slippy map. It's good to have a dream, right? Thanks for the advice. Toby _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
