I'm not entirely sure what a bookmarklet is, but if I cut and paste
the javascript contents of the href='' on that page into the address
bar of IE7 when I have the area selected it seems to do something. I
only gave it a few seconds after making a change though, so the only
difference I noticed was the background colour. I'll give it a few
minutes and try again.

Many thanks for the wiki page, strangely, I was working on the exact same 
thing at the same time ;-)

Seams we came accross to almost the same tools and solution.

My question now, if it please you to give a little technical details, is :

- how big is your rendering server ?
- can you hold the load for several users ?
- are you using mod_tile ? 
- do you have cache on tiles ?

Is that in the default.style? Or is it deeper in the C code? 

(I guess another question is whether these routes are useful in the
up-to-date view, since it is more of an 'editor' tool.)

The osm2pgsql on the main site has a small tweak so that it does not
process any route relations. This was implemented a few months back
when people objected to these routes being shown.

The osm.xml files are largely the same (I think I'm out of date by a
couple commits, but they're the same other than that). I'm using the
default.style that ships with osm2pgsql, so maybe this is doing
something different than the main site.

The only other possibility that I'm not entirely sure of the likelihood
of is that diff parsing has messed up this relation in some way.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback; I have no immediate suggestions on a

Right, this is part of the 'real' reason behind the background color
change: I dropped all the coastal shapefiles from my osm.xml, which is
why I went with the white background. (Yes, I'm lazy.)

Great work!

However, the rendering rules seem to be different. For example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.9008&lon=10.89623&zoom=17&layers=B000TFTF

The street "Klosterstraße" has the additional name "Main-Radweg" of a 
cycleroute relation of which it is a member.

Very neat.
Works well and very quick.
I tested on something I did last night which shows fine, but it was a
coastal area and no land/sea (ie no coast showing) which is a little
disorientating (I was editing a river/coastline combination) so presume
it doesn't pick/use the relevant shapefiles.

Hi,

After a recent spate of OSM activity, especially with regards to

Seems to be slightly different rules about which names are rendered.

E.g. this area has no changes since last mapnik weekly (AFAIK):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.79741&lon=-1.58727&zoom=17&layers=B000

Switching between mapnik and your layer, names for buildings or pubs
are rendered in one and not another. Same for some icons, e.g. cafe
icon in one, the postoffice next door in another.

Minor things, but you asked for feedback!

Very nice indeed.  This is very welcome and for the two little checks I 
have done it worked perfectly.

Thanks for a neat extension to the Mapnik layer for the mapper.

This is intentional. When you zoom in or out, it's nice to see a
difference between what is 'up-to-date' and what is not -- the way I've
implemented that is with a background color change (from tan -> white).

> Some names (e.g. of buildings or streets)

Positioning, or text? Positioning may be different, because the image is
not tiled in the same way, so I've seen things shift a little due to
different available spacing.

Just tried it on a few places I updated last night, very smooth!

In mapnik, some bits rendered slightly differently in style (e.g. base
background colour differs). Some names (e.g. of buildings or streets)
rendered differently to weekly mapnik too.

None of these things bothers me personally. Seems like a very useful
addition, thanks very much for your work.

[OSM-talk] Up-to-Date, Minutely Mapnik Bookmarklet

2009-01-22 Thread Christopher Schmidt
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.)
