The start of exploring the outer islands more. GlobalSat logger works well even on a 3 hour ferry trip.

Walked southern half of Sonning Common yesterday to fill in missing streets and footpaths, and add public buildings.

OpenStreetBugs (made by Xavier) is an awesome, no-signup-needed TODO and FIXME entry system that you can tell your non-OSMing friends about. The only thing I can think of that it doesn't do (yet!) is automatically flag up FIXMEs from the OSM database so that users don't double-report known problems.

I'll be mapping parts of Abingdon on Saturday, weather permitting.

I learned today that Georgetown has an airport. The first thing that occurred the me was that I should map it! That done, I went to my home town and mapped its regional airport. While I was in the area, I noticed that the extension of US 60 was not reflected in the OSM data, so I went ahead and fixed that up, too.

Testade att ladda upp ett spår från Coloradon och det gick bra med en mellanlandning i EasyGPS. Justerade lite skumma vägar och nya cykelvägar kring Ultuna och Nåntuna

Added a few more streets in E16 from recent walks, and added a few more buildings in the Royal Victoria Dock area. Royal Victoria and Custom House DLR stations now have platforms on OSM after a recent walk (or will after the next render).

A few bus stops added, along with a post office in E16. I have a plan of action for the area to get as many points of interest as well as street names over the summer, and I am slowly but surely adding bits where I can.

Auf einmal gibt es Gebäude, Kneipen, und diverse andere kleine Dinge und große Dinge, die in Siegen-City noch gefehlt hatten. Es entwickelt sich.

Was vielleicht nicht sofort auffällt ist, dass abseits von der City noch eine ganze Menge weißes Land existiert. Irgendwo wohnen all die knapp 100.000 Menschen...

Wir sind also noch weit davon entfernt, Siegen auch nur ansatzweise "fertig" gemappt zu haben.

Bis die Tage!

Fragen:

1. Brauchen wir ein geheimes Erkennungszeichen?
2. Sollen wir uns mal unverfänglich irgendwo in der City treffen?

Ich jedenfalls bin diesen Samstag leider nicht da, fänds es aber lustig, mal einen den einen oder anderen kennen zu lernen.

Tittade runt lite på nätet och hittade videoinstruktioner på ShowMeDo http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=mS2P1ZqS6

Passade på att testa lite med potlack och tags... man kan ju alltid sätta till namn på vägar om man inte har något att göra...

Så, eftersom man skall flytta till Sävja så borde man göra iordning den delen... passade på att lagga till lite grönytor på fålhagen

Ideas for a new plugin that will allow MapWindow (open source .Net GIS) to communicate with OSM are being posted at:

I've now got a small file of house names created with tomtom adding the location as a poi, i have currently 303 house names listed and all except maybe one or 2 are extremely accurate, (those small few are ones which i forgot to zoom to the closest level in tomtom and are slightly out of place)

i've made some nodes with house names on open street map by just putting a green node down in potlatch then adding the name tag with the house name, this doesn't show up in the renderer and does show up in search results :) (which is very useful for me)

is there anyway i can import these nodes/waypoints into potlatch? i've tried using poiedit 2007 to convert them to a gpx file to load them in but that doesn't seem to work.

I realise a lot of people aren't interested in this, but for me it would be incredibly useful, google is horribly inaccurate, poi's on tomtom are not very useful for remote locations as they just try to point you to the nearest road, often quite quite far away, i'd like to be able to search for a house/building and see exactly ware it is on the map so I don't get lost and to help my co-workers

outdated

Hallo Leute,

würde gerne was zum Projekt beitragen, bin aber wohl zu dämlich.

Ich habe bereits 3, 4 mal GPX-Daten hochgeladen, bekomme aber keine
Bestätigungsmail. Die Anzeige das die Datei in der Warteschlange ist, ist nach kurzer Zeit leer und ich sehe nirgends meine Daten wieder.
(eine erste Datei hatte allerdings ein falsches Format und ich bekam eine Mail mit kurzer Fehlerbeschreibung)

Gehe ich in den Edit-Modus sehe ich nur eine große blaue Fäche auf der ich auch Strecken zeichnen kann, aber meine Wegpunkte finde ich nicht.

Gibt es eine bessere (ausführlichere) Beschreibung zu OSM als im Wiki?

Servus allerseits!

Mittlerweile hat die Openstreetmap-Community eine recht große deutsche Nutzerschaft. Deshalb mein Post in deutsch (bevor ich mich im schlechten Schule-Englisch verkünstel ;) )

Ich wundere mich schon seit Wochen, warum im Mapnik der Gardasee nicht angezeigt wird:
osm.org/?lat=45.857&lon=10.775&zoom=11&layers=B00FT

Seltsamerweise ist er im Osmarender zu sehen:
osm.org/?lat=45.857&lon=10.775&zoom=11&layers=0B0FT

Hier die Tags:
area: yes
name: Lago di Garda
natural: water

Hat da jemand eine Ahnung was der Ersteller falsch gemacht hat?

I'm mapping my local neighborhood and I don't know how to properly mark a junction with traffic lights that intersects with a dual carriageway street. Any help on that would be appreciated.

The location for example is osm.org/?lat=32.31228&lon=34.86977&zoom=17&layers=0B0FT

A good time was had at the Bermondsey meet-up last night. Cloudmade were there in force. Next mini mapping evening will be back at the Isle of Dogs next Wednesday, but I wont be able to make it unfortunately. I'm going to be whitewater kayaking in the Alps next week. I'll try to develop the whitewater maps! Trouble is my NaviGPS has a log file problem which isn't normally a problem, but rather limits my holiday capacity. Ah well. I should probably be concentrating on not drowning myself!

I did my first with JOSM, naming some streets in Worms, Germany and splitting some of the streets

I've relented and used Potlatch from work (forgive me on both accounts) to add some familiar street names around Moorooka (Brisbane, (sigh) Australia).

Seems a pretty straightforward interface, though I'm confused by my changes not showing anywhere except when I select the ways and look at the properties/tags from within Potlatch. Maybe I'm not saving them?

Have been saving tracks from the months or two, but not yet sure what use I'll be able to make of them.

Though this is addictive, I plan to try harder to use an open editing platform in future.

Removed many non exsistant roads.

Removed roads where there are none in the local Land Preserve.

As a Potlatch user, I want to define a small area as 'graveyard'.
First I click a closed shape. While this shape is selected, I click on "Add a new tag". Into the left field I type "amenity", into the right field "grave_yard". However, the shape does not render correctly, not in "Edit" view, and also not after 1 week in "View". What am I doing wrong? Any hints greatly appreciated...
