Hi Hotties,
It's time to introduce the work being done on a humanitarian (HDM)
specific rendering.
TL;DR: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728
I will now share with you the work in progress on the web rendering step.
This web rendering has several goals:
One is simply to give editors a way to see the HDM OSM data without
having to use JOSM or a SQL console.
Another is to give humanitarian actors and developing countries a web
map that gives them the information they need, making OSM more and more
useful.
Finally, this is the occasion for HOT to have its own rendering, a nice
way to illustrate its work!
What does "highlight the HDM" means for a rendering? The main principle
is that each tag considered meaningful for the HDM should be rendered.
Here are some examples:
- road surface and smoothness are rendered (eg.
http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#15/18.6665/-72.3048 where
a piece of the primary road is unpaved)
- water well are rendered (eg.
http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.67901/-72.12665,
icons work in progress ;) )
- street lamps are rendered (same link)
- The craft tags are rendered
(http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.67048/-72.12274)
- NGOs have their icons, for example:
http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#19/19.75957/-72.20532
Also:
- terrain data is included (will be colorized:
http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#11/19.5944/-72.1108)
- zoom until 20 is allowed: the goal is to enable mapping in very
detailed instances. For example, camps (fire hydrants are already
rendered:
http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hdm-first-draft_728#20/19.76066/-72.20188 )
Very awesome indeed! I think it is a very important step for HOT to have
the entered data visible on a map. It is necessary to both provide
feedback to the editors as well as to have a simple and tangible result
to communicate to people outside of the project.
Something I'm missing is a map key. It's hard to infer the actual state
of a road from its color on the map, without guidance.
Keep up the amazing work :-)
Regards, David
