Very Nice!   When will it fully support mph speeds in the U.S.A ?
ie: we tag maxspeed=65 mph rather than maxspeed=100 to get ~ the 
same highway speed.
in the U.S.A. the speed limit signs are a white rectangle  higher than 
they are wide
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_speed_limits.svg
for examples.

[OSM-talk] Tiger data and county lines

2009-09-30 Per discussione Tim Litwiller
I've been noticing that in the US tiger data in central Kansas - ways do 
not cross county lines. Each county has their own county line road and 
the roads from that county connect to it - but it overlays the next 
countys county line road. Is there some automated way to select both 
ways and merge them into one way with the roads from each direction 
connecting also?

[OSM-talk] feasibility - different use of openstreetmap

2009-09-22 Per discussione Tim Litwiller
Introduction:
For my work we have a need for mapping fields agricultural sections of 
land for growing crops. We already put the legal description of the land 
in the our invoicing \ work order system and other information about the 
field, but we need a way to quickly print a high quality aerial photo of 
the section that the land is in and the outline of the field.  I only 
need to cover 10 counties in central Kansas at least to start with, and 
I can get the free US Gov aerial photography and the field outlines from 
USDA.

Question:
Would it be possible/feasible to setup a map server like openstreetmap 
that shows all the street/roads along with my aerial photography and 
field outlines, and then make a search for the field by customer, by 
legal description or by field name?


If this in not the correct group for this, then what group would I ask 
this question? I realize the your system is about street and I want to 
misuse it for land areas, but it is such a nice system and looks like a 
great framework to start building what I need from.


Thanks

[OSM-talk] routing - US interstate type junction -Wichita, KS

2009-09-22 Per discussione Tim Litwiller
There is a junction on the north end of Wichita KS, that does not route 
correctly in the southbound direction.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.7627lon=-97.3218zoom=14layers=B000FTF

I downloaded the openstreetmap for Garmin from na1400.info and noticed 
it there so I tried the same navigation from 
http://www.yournavigation.org/ and it did the same thing. I added 
bridges to this intersections map a few days ago - but the na1400.info 
data doesn't have my changes yet. I have looked at the tags on the 
sections of the road and don't see anything unusual.

cloudmade.com seems to have an older version of the data and on there 
the routing works.

I would like to fix this and if I messed it up I apologize and want to 
learn from this so it doesn't happen again.
If someone has time to find the problem - please let me know what it is.

Thanks
