 Let me just remind you all, that there are no rules. There are only 
 recommendations. When you all come to realize that, you will find that 
 it is not a question of whether someone has put a node within an area in 
 the database, but a question of whether the rendering engine in question 
 can figure out not to render the node if it has the same icon as an 
 renderengine-placed icon for the area containing that node.

The underlying problem is that the 'recommendations' keep changing. A node to 
allow a 'P' to appear WAS used when there was nothing to produce one 
otherwise. NOW that areas are ( in some cases ) being rendered and annotated 
the additional nodes may well be unnecessary.

The real problem here is that CHANGES to the recommendations are not being 
followed through with recommendations to remove the original version. BUT as 
has been pointed out - the renderers follow their own interpretation of the 
recommendations, so at present one has to decide WHICH renderer you are adding 
data for :(

*SO* perhaps there should be some RULES that at least provide some consistency 
in how things are being added. And perhaps in 10 years time someone may get 
around to considering how areas SHOULD be used?

We need ONE set of rendering rules that will produce consistent results and 
when a rendering engine is NOT following the rules there should be a decision 
either to add the rule consistently, or remove it. A SWITCH for 'consistent' 
rendering which can be disabled on local versions were people are not bothered 
about consistency?

not really. When passing a parking lot, I still want to be able to place a 
node and tag it accordingly, without the need to make it an area. The area 
may be added later, and then the node should be deleted.

EXACTLY my point - You are working THAT recommendation!
and even with the new 'recommendation' removing the node may not be the right 
answer CURRENTLY!

Mapnik currently will not render your parking space if you do that?
Osmarender is following a different recommendation.

Asking the RENDERERS to sort out the mess is wrong - even thought it is the 
renderers that have created the problem!

*IF* the current recommendation is as you have written, then both renders need 
to follow it. The recommendation makes sense, but currently it is possibly 
only right for Osmarender :(

We need RULES that are consistent and that everyone follows to produce 
consistent results. At present people are changing the rules as they see fit, 
without ensuring that everyone else is doing the same. Hence we have different 
information being displayed, or duplicate information.

You need to look at it differently. From the view you are putting forth 
above, you seem to equalize the rendered output in the form of Mapnik 
and Osmarender maps to Openstreetmap. And I can see why, since those two 
  items produce the currently most visible part of OSM.

BUT remember, the DB is one thing, the rendering of data from the db is 
another thing altogether. Look at the db as a big sea of data, where it 
is your (the rendering engine) task to harvest the data that you want to 
render. Not to impose rules and limitations on what form the data in the 
DB is entered in.

IMHO one of the reasons why OSM has gained such notoriety and 
following among neogeographers, established carthographers, and 
joe-public alike, is the fact that it is not a mapproducing framework 
bound by strict and defined ISO-like rules, but a framework that is more 
akin to social networking for the map-inflicted.

If the two rendering engines used currently differ in the way they 
render said data, then its the rendering rules used in those engines 
that need to be put into sync. Its not done by imposing limitations or 
strict rules on what can/should be put into the DB.

If one person observed a parking lot, but didn't have time to log the 
boundaries of the lot, and just placed a node with the corresponding 
tag, then later another person comes along and logs the boundary of the 
parking lot, and puts an area out of that data into the DB, he shouldn't 
delete the node another person made. Maybe that person is using the data 
from the DB to keep a POI record of parking lots. He might be the only 
one doing so, but thats still one of the forces of the OSM project - Log 
it, tag it, put it into the DB - even if you are the only person ever 
going to use that data.

So IMHO it's up to the rendering engines to render the data smartly.

I'm on both sides here: I agree that it would be better not to have both 
a node and an area; OTOH, there's already lots and lots of these, so it 
is shooting ourselves in the foot not to clear up the mess in one way or 
another.

And I'm confused about what Mapnik is actually doing to get this right 
(if indeed it is always getting it right).

There's two ways to do it: either

(1) we pass over the data (ideally automatically) and check for parking 
node within parking polygon, delete the node (or maybe just change its 
tag, to say parking:redundant, so we don't lose anything accidentally), 
and transfer any name tag to the area, providing there is no clash,. 
i.e. the area doesn't already have a (different) name

or

(2) we change osmrender so it only puts the icon in when there isn't 
already a relevant node. This would require osmarender to (a) maintain 
some state: keep a list of parking nodes or areas, and (b) to do the 
artificial icon after all the nodes (in the layer presumably). Can XSLT 
do this?

In both cases, I think a bounding box test would be sufficient rather 
than a general point in polygon test, but that's a pretty minor detail.

(2) has the advantage that the mapper can override a naive rendering 
algorithm, and copes with the existing data, but I suspect not knowing 
much about XSLT that this would be rather hard to do, but it does mean 
the existing bad practice (in quotes because not everyone is of that 
opinion) is propagated.

I'm not sure. Currently I would delete it. Not to please the renderers, but as

OSM is wiki style. If someone comes along and refines an area, it may simply 
happen that the node disappears as soon the area is created. I agree that 
anyone can put data into the db, but it's not there for eternity but to be 
modified. And modification also means deletion.

THAT is all I am saying. EXCEPT that tagging should be consistent, something 
which does not happen currently.

 boundaries of the lot, and just placed a node with the corresponding 
 tag, then later another person comes along and logs the boundary of the

We will have to differ there. Although I suspect that we are actually saying 
the same thing - just differently. There is a lot of tagging that is not 
rendered. That is fine, and while it would be nice to be consistent, deleting 
it is a matter of agreement. *IF* the tagging is being done properly, then 
both parking:area and parking:node should produce the same basic set of tags, 
so that upgrading a parking:node to a parking:area would retain all of the 
core information.
If we are going to maintain two different sets of parking data nodes and areas 
then BOTH should be supplied.

 So IMHO it's up to the rendering engines to render the data smartly. 
 It's not the rendering engines that decide what should be put into the DB.

I see a major processing hit if every time you find an area you then have to 
process every node inside that area to see if it is ( whether parking, place 
or any other node/area conflict ) a duplicate of the area data. You then also 
have to decide if the node or area data takes priority? If one says private 
and the other public which should take priority.

*I* am looking at the data here, and the problems I have with making the same 
decisions when two conflicting sets of tag information arises!

This is the point I am at as well!

We need to be consistent in the way POI's, what ever they are, are identified, 
and a node is currently easier to tabulate than an area. So perhaps we REQUIRE 
a node attached to every area which has the tag information. Ignoring the 
rendering inconsistencies and just looking at the raw data, how do we produce 
a list of 'parking lots' or any other area/node defined data.

In order to fix POI type tools we end up having to process graphical data when 
a simple set of rules could remove the problem? I keep coming back to the 
is_in problem and this is just another example of it. WHEN an area is created 
and the original node is_in it then an automatic is_in with a unique 
identifier could be created which flags that there is an area that superceds 
the node. We can then simply read the data and when we find nodes with area 
is_in tags we can simply ignore them if appropriate leaving just the area POI 
tags.

PERSONALLY I would like to be able to process the raw data without having to 
ALSO carry out complex area checks every time I find an 'area'. If we need to 
maintain matching nodes to go with that area, then there should be some 
flagging to at least indicate that there is an alternative. David's 
'parking:redundant' could better be tagged 'parking:see_area' although I will 
keep hammering the simple concept of a unique is_in identifier so we get 
'parking:is_in:element_id'. A concept that will tidy ALL of the area/data 
information tree. I know this is not liked by the XML purists, but being able 
to jump directly to related data will always speed up data mapping?

ANY map can display what it wants, how it wants, but they will all have the

Short answer : Yes.

Long answer : The renderer operates on a subset of the data contained in 
  the DB. It is up to the operator of the renderer to extract and 
possibly massage that data into a format that the renderer can utilize.
It is not the place of the renderer to impose limitiations or rules into 
what is in the DB, since the the DB is/might/will be used for other

This is similar to the previous discussion this month, where someone 
wanted to impose limitations on what charactersets could be used for

All together now, repeat this months mantra after me : Implementing 
non-DB technical limitations and rules for content in the DB is bad,

Should never have been discussed - Unicode has to be used even if there is an

mixing that with anything else is simply crass.

Bullshit.
TAGGING as laid out in the wiki are all rules for content but as yet they do 
not provide a consistent USABLE base once one moves away from the basic road 
stuff. And even the base road stuff people are trying to change the rules!

See my other message about the area/node conflict. This problem arises 
everywhere that node and area options exist for a tag and there needs to be 
AGREEMENT on how the conflict is handled. Some people using different methods 
of handling it for different tags is no use to anybody so lets decide ONE way 
of handling the conflict and stick to it. Personally I have no particular 
feeling anyway, but a logical means if identifying a SINGLE list of parking 
places ( for example - but any node/area rag! ) is just common sense.

This is just a simple case of how do you identify a set of tags UNLESS there 
is agreement about how a tag is used. *IF* we are going to allow both node and 
area tags for the same item then we need to ensure that they ARE returning the 
same data but some logical method of ensuring that the node and area returns a 
CONSISTENT set of answers is essential otherwise we have anarchy.

LOGICALLY - there should never have been a problem created. A POI element 
should consist of a single entity which may have additional area information. 
Even those tags that are currently only defined as 'node' in many cases WILL 
be expanded to include area information at some point. So PLEASE can we have 
some sensible method of identifying PAIRS of tags so we can THEN decide what 
to do with them !!!

Right now it does not do this. As I think Richard mentioned before, the
reason you generally do not see the second node is that the rendering
collision detection algorithm removes one of the icons. If you go to say
zoom 18 then you might see 2 icons, but only on large car parks where
the node is not near the centre of the area. I can not find any examples
myself.

I've been tempted to add the intelligent algorithm you describe into
osm2pgsql for a while now but it has yet to reach the top of my todo
list. Unfortunately we don't build the spatial indexes on the data until
the import is complete so we might have to delay this duplicate
detection until the end of the processing (or maybe the points table is
small enough to be scanned sequentially without too much of a hit).

 Do you have to re-write the renderer every time someone comes up with 
 a new conflict?
 Short answer : Yes.

 Long answer : The renderer operates on a subset of the data contained in 
  the DB. It is up to the operator of the renderer to extract and 
 possibly massage that data into a format that the renderer can utilize.
 It is not the place of the renderer to impose limitiations or rules into 
 what is in the DB, since the the DB is/might/will be used for other 
 tasks than just rendering maps.

 This is similar to the previous discussion this month, where someone 
 wanted to impose limitations on what charactersets could be used for 
 tagnames.
 
 Should never have been discussed - Unicode has to be used even if there is an 
 arbitrary limit of English tag names - the content has to be unicode and 
 mixing that with anything else is simply crass.
 
 All together now, repeat this months mantra after me : Implementing 
 non-DB technical limitations and rules for content in the DB is bad, 
 recommendations and smarter algorithms in renderers are good.
 
 Bullshit.
 TAGGING as laid out in the wiki are all rules for content but as yet they do 
 not provide a consistent USABLE base once one moves away from the basic road 
 stuff. And even the base road stuff people are trying to change the rules!

Correction: Tagging as laid out in the wiki is NOT rules for content IN 
THE DB. Let me just repeat that: Tagging as laid out on the wiki in the 
Mapfeatures page is NOT rules governing the content in the DB.


They are recommendations, to be used if you'd like to see your content 
rendered by the current default rendering engines used on the OSM site.
Nothing more, nothing less.


 
 See my other message about the area/node conflict. This problem arises 
 everywhere that node and area options exist for a tag and there needs to be 
 AGREEMENT on how the conflict is handled. Some people using different methods 
 of handling it for different tags is no use to anybody so lets decide ONE way 
 of handling the conflict and stick to it. Personally I have no particular 
 feeling anyway, but a logical means if identifying a SINGLE list of parking 
 places ( for example - but any node/area rag! ) is just common sense.
 
 This is just a simple case of how do you identify a set of tags UNLESS there 
 is agreement about how a tag is used. *IF* we are going to allow both node 
 and 
 area tags for the same item then we need to ensure that they ARE returning 
 the 
 same data but some logical method of ensuring that the node and area returns 
 a 
 CONSISTENT set of answers is essential otherwise we have anarchy.

There is NO agreement on tags used, and should NOT be any such agreement 
on tags used, since the DB is more akin to a wiki - if you can describe 
it within the framework of k=name v=value/ then it can go into the DB 
for storage.
There IS an agreement on RECOMMENDATIONS of tags to be used IN THE SCOPE 
of rendering maps with the default rendering engines currently used by OSM.

Its then up to the rendering engines to visualize those tags according 
to whatever rules they use in their visualization attempts.

 
 LOGICALLY - there should never have been a problem created. A POI element 
 should consist of a single entity which may have additional area information. 
 Even those tags that are currently only defined as 'node' in many cases WILL 
 be expanded to include area information at some point. So PLEASE can we have 
 some sensible method of identifying PAIRS of tags so we can THEN decide what 
 to do with them !!!
 

It's still not a OSM DB problem. It's a problem to be solved by the 
rendering engines. Imposing non-DB technical limitations and rules to 
the data put into the DB, in order to please the rendering mechanism is 
fundamentally wrong.

   No we don't - that's half the point of OSM. If we had ONE set of

  I'm not talking about STYLE - I'm talking base data!

  ANY map can display what it wants, how it wants, but they will all have the
  same problem where there are conflicts between area and node data. NOTHING
  precludes rendering what ever we want, but how does the cycle map solve this
  conflict?

However I see fit. It's my map, and I can quite literally do whatever
I want. I take the data from the database, do some magic, and out
comes a map. If I choose to do things differently than whatever
osmarender or the main mapnik map does, then so bit it. I might render
just parking areas. I might put in some nodes. I might do both, or do
neither.

Now I say this as an illustration of what each renderer does - they
make their own decisions as to what to do. I don't even understand why
you want consistency in the outputs - the main osmarender and mapnik
layers are different, and much of it just comes down to cartographic
style.

As to the specifics of how mapnik works, see osm2pgsql's
add_parking_node() at
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/export/osm2pgsql/output-pgsql.c#L362
for the code to auto-add a parking node. On the main map it has
parking as non-overlapping as per
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/rendering/mapnik/osm.xml#L154
so the duplicate icon issue is solved by this overlap avoidance.

And if you think this is particularly onerous for the renderers to
deal with, then you're probably unaware of how much other stuff needs
to be taken care of too!

Cheers,
Andy

 Just ignore 'parking' and this particular problem goes away, but if
  someone decides parking needs to be on the cycle map which area/node data
  should it work with? Do you have to re-write the renderer every time someone
  comes up with a new conflict?

[OSM-talk] Camera and Dictaphone clocks

2008-02-24 Thread David Earl
I mentioned in the thread about continuous audio mapping yesterday that 
the audio was appearing to drift away from the corresponding waymarks 
after a while. I have now determined that this is due to the inaccuracy 
of the clock in my dictaphone. I have implemented a solution for audio 
in JOSM - see below - but this has implications for using camera images 
as well.

I recorded three hours off the radio this morning to include the pips 
at 9am and noon (for non Britishers: Greenwich time signal, an accurate 
clock which is broadcast on the hour most hours on BBC Radio 4). A 
suitable alternative would be to track the (very accurate) GPS clock, 
but that would have meant going outside.

I then measured the length of the recording between the start of each of 
the long pips in Audacity, whose timer is derived from the audio 
sampling rate and therefore reflects the clock in the dictaphone. Sure 
enough it came out at a remarkably inaccurate 3h00m17s (0.157% out): 
that means that my dictaphone loses about 2 minutes day!

I would not be at all surprised to find that camera clocks are also 
similarly inaccurate - they probably use the same silicon! A similar 
test for a camera is obviously to photograph a GPS display several hours 
apart and compare the time difference the image time stamp says with the 
GPS time difference shown.

The consequence is that synchronising the time by saying NOW or 
photographing the GPS clock is _not_ sufficient. If you're using voice 
or pictures just to annotate waypoints, it's just a minor inconvenience 
- the picture or sound isn't quite where you thought it would be on the 
track, but the waypoint is from the GPS, so accurate.

But if you're using the synchronised timestamp or offset into a 
recording to imply a feature's location, you could be 50m or more out 
after two-hours of a bicycle mapping session (10s error @ 5m/s).

For the new audio facilities in JOSM, I've added a voice recorder 
calibration box into the Audio Preferences panel (will be in tomorrow's 
build). You measure the purported length of a long chunk of audio to the 
true time, and enter the ratio, so in my case this is 1.00157. You could 
do this specially as I did, or during a mapping session just by putting 
sync cues at either end of your recording. You can measure it either in 
Audacity or similar as I did, or in JOSM itself by inserting audio 
markers at the geographical location of the sync cues and noting the 
time time difference of labels (dG), sync at the first mark, and then 
time the difference between the second mark and the second audio cue in 
the commentary (dA). The calibration is then (dA+dG)/dG. Of course if 
your device clock runs fast, you might have to go back a few seconds, 
and your ration would be a bit less than 1.

Of course, this assumes that the clock runs at a constant, if incorrect, 
rate both during a session, and, if you don't recalibrate each time then 
between sessions as well.

True.
I don't understand why it's so fashionable on this list to play down the
importance of Map features. Without that page all those 80GB of
cryptic XML would be pretty useless. But that's nothing bad or something
we should encounter, that just the nature of any map, whether it's
stored in a DB or printed on colorful paper.

A map is an abstract description of the landscape, that's what makes it
different from an aerial or plat. Someone making that description uses
certain symbols or certain code for certain features. Someone who uses
that description needs to know what every symbol/code resembles. On a
paper map that's done by the map keys which tell you whether those blue
lines are motorways, railways or maybe rivers, for OSM-data Map
features tell you.

Anybody can enter anything into the DB, we can't change that, we don't
want to change that and we are all aware of that. But when I (and most
other mappers as well) enter something in the DB I want other people to
know what it stands for in reality. I could use some crude tags only I
know, but what's then the point in making it accessible for the whole world.

And things like the cycle map would definitely not exist without some
kind of explanation of the relevant tage in the wiki. Without this
translation/documentation (ncn=xyz means this way is part of a route
that...) there wouldn't be all those tags in the DB. I'm sure Andy
didn't think, well today I'm gonna render abc=xyz, maybe there are some
mappers who describe their cycleroutes just that way.

Without Map features OSM is like an undocumented command-line
programm: To be certain about all it's capabilities you'd need to read
every single line of code. And reading planet.osm might take a while...

And there is nothing to distinguish between duplicate items contained in the

processing the data  someone is going to code each case individually?

 And if you think this is particularly onerous for the renderers to
 deal with, then you're probably unaware of how much other stuff needs
 to be taken care of too!

I KNOW the problem of dealing with the CURRENT data - in many cases it is 
unusable for anything OTHER than rendering and needs the sort of bodge being 
discussed to sort out the mess. Some people not be bothered by that problem, 
because they only want a simple map output, but 90% of the tagging information 
will allow us to search for WHICH area of the map to display. Having in 
essence to 'render' areas to find out if nodes are contained in them and then 
guess if a node IS a duplicate is not practical as the size of the DATA grows. 
I'm looking at some 50 other tags that may have node/area duplicates - 
personally how they are rendered does not bother me at all - I want to be able 
to navigate the data and produce CONSISTENT search results - which are then 
used to DISPLAY the correct area of a map or simply offer alternatives to 
select from.

A very simple fix for this problem is to display everything on the basis that 
the node IS different to the area. The renderers can worry about icons on top 
of one another - be they duplicate parking icons or school, public building or 
whatever. We then TIDY things up by the convention that there is only one 
entry for a tagged POI and if an existing node is upgraded to an area, then 
the node information becomes part of the area tags, and the node is deleted. 
No need for reams of processing and new bodge code for every node/area tag 
conflict?

We then don't have to worry about duplicates - they don't exist. If they do, 
then one or other needs to be merged to leave a single distinct entry?

[OSM-talk] New in JOSM: Paste Tags

2008-02-24 Thread David Earl
I have added a new operation on the JOSM Edit menu: Paste Tags 
(CTRL+SHIFT+V). This will be in tomorrow's build.

This applies to the current selection the tags of the items previously 
copied to the paste buffer with Edit  Copy.

Only tags for items of like types are assigned, so selected nodes will 
take on tags of nodes in the paste buffer, selected ways of copied ways 
and selected relations of copied relations. (When you Copy a way, its 
nodes are also copied - or you wouldn't be able to Paste it - so if any 
nodes are selected for Paste Tags, the tags of the original way's nodes 
will be applied to the selected nodes).

Paste Tags will overwrite tags with the same key in the target 
selection, but you can't Paste Tags if there is ambiguity in what you 
would paste (e.g. you have copied two ways with different names).

created_by is always ignored. Tags already applied to the target objects 
are unaffected except when they have the same keys as the source 
objects. Note also that Edit  Copy makes a deep copy of the items, so 
changing the tags of the source of a previously copied item will not 
change what tags are pasted (or indeed what objects are pasted with Edit 
  Paste)

every 30 mins of mapping but none (well effectively none) between

have to manually sinc to the track several times for a long mapping
session.

 Correction: Tagging as laid out in the wiki is NOT rules for content IN 
 THE DB. Let me just repeat that: Tagging as laid out on the wiki in the 
 Mapfeatures page is NOT rules governing the content in the DB.


 They are recommendations, to be used if you'd like to see your content 
 rendered by the current default rendering engines used on the OSM site.
 Nothing more, nothing less.
 
 True.
 I don't understand why it's so fashionable on this list to play down the
 importance of Map features. Without that page all those 80GB of
 cryptic XML would be pretty useless.

Thats again because you look at the DB and the usage of the data 
contained therein as one entity that defines OSM.

If you on the other hand look at the DB and the data contained therein 
as one entity and the USAGE of the data in the DB as a seperate entity, 
you get a more correct view of the state of our wonderfull hutsputz of 
geodata and geodata usage.

  But that's nothing bad or something
 we should encounter, that just the nature of any map, whether it's
 stored in a DB or printed on colorful paper.

We (OSM) do not store a map in a DB. We store geodata.

 
 A map is an abstract description of the landscape, that's what makes it
 different from an aerial or plat. Someone making that description uses
 certain symbols or certain code for certain features. Someone who uses
 that description needs to know what every symbol/code resembles. On a
 paper map that's done by the map keys which tell you whether those blue
 lines are motorways, railways or maybe rivers, for OSM-data Map
 features tell you.
 
 Anybody can enter anything into the DB, we can't change that, we don't
 want to change that and we are all aware of that. But when I (and most
 other mappers as well) enter something in the DB I want other people to
 know what it stands for in reality. I could use some crude tags only I
 know, but what's then the point in making it accessible for the whole world.

Again, look at the visualization of the data as a seperate entity - 
related to, and an important part of OSM, but not the defining measure 
of OSM.

An example (graphic to fit my reputation ofcourse.. You have been duly 
warned ;) ) :
If I decided to map all the trees I have taking a leak up at on the way 
home from drinking bouts the last couple of years, I can do so. I'll 
just tag it with 
k=urinated_tree_were_the_leaves_has_become_yellow_brownish_in_colour 
v=200 ml used and processed beer/.

I could even tag the same tree multiple times, depending on whether I 
took the piss at the north, east, west, or south side of the tree. And I 
could even use a different tagname such as 
k=Urinerede_Træer_som_har_blade_med_gul_brunlig_kulør v=200 ml brugt 
øl without any problems.

This points out the wiki-like outlook on our DB. The tag and data has 
only mildly interest for anybody else, but it might have real value for 
me. I could be the type that tends to loose my keys everytime I take a 
leak in toxicated condition, and now I have the possibilty to see where 
I have been, and go look for them. Or maybe I'm making a map showing 
which trees not to sit under during summer.

Whatever the reason, it's geodata, and valid to go into the DB or the 
80GB of cryptic XML as you called it. It might be useless for anybody 
else, but it wouldn't be to me. AND it could become usefull for someone 
else later on (urologists researching maximum distance intoxicated 
people can go between leaks, city planners looking for information on 
best placement of public restrooms, etc, etc).

The other entity - visualization of the data in the OSM DB, takes a 
subset of the data in the DB, and masssages it into a format that the 
rendering mechanism can utilize. I.E. Mapnik imports the OSM data into a 
postgres DB according to the rules it needs, and then renders the 
imported data from that mapnik specific DB.
Osmarender downloads the data and post-process it into SVG compliant XML 
according to the rules it needs, then renders it via Batik/Inkscape.
Kosmos and all the other rendering mechanisms utilizing OSM data at the 
moment, does similar things with the extracted OSM data for the areas 
the user wants visualized - extract an area from the DB, massage it 
(postprocess, import to own formatted DB, etc, etc), then visualize it 
from the postprocessed data.

So as I said before, its not the rendering mechanism that should define 
what goes into the OSM DB. At the most basic level, if it is geodata, 
and can be described within the scope of k=name v=value it IS valid 
for inclusion in the OSM database, no matter how useless it would 
appear to other users.

 
 And things like the cycle map would definitely not exist without some

Re: [OSM-talk] Continuous audio in JOSM on tracks without waypoints

2008-02-24 Thread 80n
David
I gave it a try today.  The results were excellent.

I have some feedback:
1) I found synchronising to be a bit tricky the first time you do it.  This
wasn't helped by the fact that I had 20 minutes of tracks before I started
the audio recorder.  I've updated the wiki with what I hope are clearer and
better instructions.

2) While audio is playing, when I clicked on an audio marker it caused JOSM
to hang.

3) The Open dialog for audio files does not appear to remember the last
place that was used. Other open dialogs in JOSM do.

4) It would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts for Forward and Backwards.

5) It would be nice to hide the audio markers without also hiding the orange
cursor.  I don't use waypoints and found that using the orange cursor and
the forward and backward buttons was all that I needed most of the time.

6) Lastly, it would be really nice if it was possible to play the audio at
varying speeds. For long roads if I've made occasionals marks I don't really
want to listen to the whole recording in real time, but there's not really
any way of knowing where the next one will be without listening to the whole
recording.  Variable play speed would help with this.

Overall I really like it :)

 Having done a two-hour long audio recording today, I find that waypoints

 about 100 minutes.

 I did find one problem whereby the audio player wasn't jumping ahead as
 far as I thought it was when you pressed the marker, which I have
 released a change for.

 But that doesn't fix the problem. I need to look into this a bit
 further, and there may well be a timing bug still in there somewhere,
 but I am also wondering whether the clock on my dictaphone is not all
 that accurate.

 I'd be interested to know whether anyone else sees discrepancies, but I
 suggest getting tonight's build to try it in.

 In the meantime, be warned, and be prepared to put a synchronisation
 point in say every half hour or so. (You can synchronise at more than
 one place along a track - you might have paused the recording, for
 example).

to link the DB objects together.

I expect that someone with PostGIS knowledge can construct a query to

a list. I'm sure that many of us could write a perl or python script to
take this list and delete or relate the nodes.

I'm not sure that pubs are more important than many other features of

 Do you have any feeling for how accurate the timer on your audio was by 
 the end of the session?
 
 I have some feedback:
 1) I found synchronising to be a bit tricky the first time you do it.  
 This wasn't helped by the fact that I had 20 minutes of tracks before I 
 started the audio recorder.  I've updated the wiki with what I hope are

 That was only relevant to the non-waypoint version, so I just moved it 
 up a bit into that section. If you're using waypoints, you'd always sync 
 on a GPS-defined marker, and it is much easier.
 
 Your instructions are spot on though for the non-waypoint case.
 
 2) While audio is playing, when I clicked on an audio marker it caused 
 JOSM to hang.
 
 OK. I'll see if I can reproduce it. Can you be more specific?
 
 3) The Open dialog for audio files does not appear to remember the last 
 place that was used. Other open dialogs in JOSM do.
 
 Curious. I'm not aware of doing anything different. Maybe there is an 
 extra step I missed.
 
 4) It would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts for Forward and Backwards.
 
 OK, can be arranged I'm sure. How about '[' and ']' with '{' and '}' for 
 next and last marker? Assuming the system will let me do that - it 
 wouldn't let me have the spacebar for the play /pause for reasons I 
 don't understand.
 
 5) It would be nice to hide the audio markers without also hiding the 
 orange cursor.  I don't use waypoints and found that using the orange 
 cursor and the forward and backward buttons was all that I needed most 
 of the time.
 
 I'm surprised your audio was dense enough that you didn't have to jump 
 to new locations using the markers - I get minutes of silence when I'm 
 audio mapping. My two hour expedition on Saturday generated 140-odd 
 waypoints, roughly one a minute.
 
 But again, I imagine that wouldn't be too hard. I hadn't actually 
 realised the play head vanished with the markers. I guess the graphics 
 context I'm given to paint with is that for the layer.
 
 6) Lastly, it would be really nice if it was possible to play the audio 
 at varying speeds. For long roads if I've made occasionals marks I don't 
 really want to listen to the whole recording in real time, but there's 
 not really any way of knowing where the next one will be without 
 listening to the whole recording.  
 
 That's why creating waypoints help, but I know from experience with my 
 Garmin, the combination of key presses makes in unfeasible while moving 
 on a bike. The single tap on my adapted version  of MaemoMapper on the 
 Nokia is much, much better in this respect.
 
 If you're on a bike though you could mimic waypoints though - if you 
 adopt a procedure where you always either speak just after you turn into 
 a junction or when you do a loop loop in the road, then you can use the 
 artificial markers to speed up jumping through the sound track.
 
 Variable play speed would help with this.
 
 I imagine I could fake the sample rate, or something like that. I'll 
 investigate. This is probably a bit more complicated than the rest.
 
 Overall I really like it :)
 
 Thanks. My feeling is that it makes me safer when I'm out mapping, 
 because I don't have trailing wires and don't have to keep pressing the 
 pause on my recorder.

Could this work with video media files ? I've invested in an Oregon 
Scientific ACT2000 solid state helmet cam ( http://tinyurl.com/22zaep )
for use when driving my cityscooter. It has audio input too, but the 
audio tends to be drowned out by the motor and wind sounds. I'm planning 
on using it when mapping, logging data for Wigle and OSM on the laptop 
and the Magellan CrossoverGPS, and filming the route as well as 
roadsigns with the helmet cam (sample movie in DivX format on 
http://www.stage6.com/user/DutchDK ).

Loading up the stream and seeing it in a seperate window in sync with 
the gpx log in JOSM could be great ;)

If you set up that site, you can just link to the files on stage6 - 
saves me from uploading the multiple MB video files to two places... ;)

Seriously though, driving the scooter or the MC, while attempting to 
take snapshots of roadsigns is detrimenttal to your health, and that is 
what prompted me to purchase the helmetcam. If the resulting video

 2)
 Wirtsh?user/Brunnen/Quellen/Gipfel/Seilbahnen/Parkpl?tze/Parkm?glichkeiten/

 Andererseits k?nnte

 OSM zu haben.
 (Den Teil von Kronach bis Weismain kann ich erledigen, evtl. auch mehr)
 
 Um Gr?fenberg rum bin ich ca. 20 km des Frankenwegs abgelaufen.  Davon
 sollten ca. 10 km in einer relation stecken.  Die attribute der
 relation sind aber noch nicht optimal und angezeigt wird auch noch
 nichts.
 
 7) lokalen Wanderverein kontaktiert: dort wird bereits mit GPS gearbeitet

 4) Wanderkarte f?rs Garmin erstellen (?hnlich wie die Fahrradkarte)

 Zwecks Reklame w?rde es evtl. auch Sinn machen, einen ?berregionalen

 Diese omin?sen D-Routen sollte man erfassen.  Das eckl durch N habe

[Talk-de] Taggen eines Wegweisers

2008-02-24 Thread Schäuble Michele
Hallo!

In der Schweiz gibt es entlang offizieller Wanderwege Wegweiser mit dem 
Namen der Region, der Höhe über Meer und den Richtungen mit Zeitangaben 
(für ein Beispiel siehe 
http://www.emmenthaler.ch/fotohpsiegenthaler/wegweiser.jpg). Wie sollte 
man das taggen? Ich habe nun einfach mal den Namen mit dem Schlüssel 
name und die Höhe mittels dem Schlüssel ele getaggt, weiss aber 
nicht wie ich den Wegweiser selbst auszeichnen soll.

Gruss, Misch

Re: [Talk-de] Wanderwege, Klettersteige, Kletterfelsen

2008-02-24 Thread Claudius Henrichs




Andreas Stenglein:

  Hallo,

zum Thema Wandern/Klettern und OSM habe ich bisher nur folgendes gefunden, 
leider scheint da nicht wirklich was vorwärts zu gehen:
1) Marking trails in Slovenia (wiki-Beitrag mit Zuordnung zu bestehenden tags, auch in englisch)

2) einige emails im Archiv, jedoch kein Hinweis auf etwas konkretes

3) Insgesamt scheinen einige Wanderwege in OSM erfaßt zu sein, 
jedoch nur als "footway", "track", nicht als Wanderweg XXX.

4) proposed feature "marked_trail"


Das habe ich bisher unternommen, mehr oder weniger intensiv/zielorientiert:
1) Fußwege/Wanderwege (vom Wochenende/Urlaub) eingetragen, teilweise einfach als 
footway, teilweise genauer klassifiziert (Fränkische Schweiz/Frankenwald/Fichtelgebirge/
Obermaintal/Alpen/Bayerischer Wald/Mallorca)

2) Wirtshäuser/Brunnen/Quellen/Gipfel/Seilbahnen/Parkplätze/Parkmöglichkeiten/
Sehenswürdigkeiten eingetragen

3) versuchsweise einen lokalen Wanderweg erfaßt und mit marked_trail=Mühlenweg getagged, 
leider fehlen da ringsum noch einige Straßen. Leider erscheint der Wanderweg auch
nirgends, weil kein Renderer das tag auswertet noch das Mühlenwegsymbol kennt.

4) versuchsweise einige lokale Wanderwege teilweise erfaßt und teilweise mit 
marked_trail=yes oder marked_trail=3 , etc. getagged

5) kurze Stücke (ca. 20-30km) vom Frankenweg (gesamt ca. 500km ??) erfaßt
Alleine ist es schwierig, den gesamten Frankenweg zu erfassen. Andererseits könnte 
das eine gute Reklame abgeben diesen oder eine ähnlichen Weg komplett in OSM zu haben. 
(Den Teil von Kronach bis Weismain kann ich erledigen, evtl. auch mehr)

6) alpin-koordinaten.de kontaktiert: keine Rückinfo. Dort werden bereits Tracks 
von Wanderwegen sowie Koordinaten von Alpenhütten, Gipfeln und Kletterfelsen gesammelt, 
allerdings sind diese Daten so wie sie dort angeboten werden kaum bzw. recht unpraktisch 
verwendbar, IMHO.
Einfach in OSM kann man die jedoch auch nicht integrieren, dazu müßten die Leute 
dort ihre Zustimmung geben.

7) lokalen Wanderverein kontaktiert: dort wird bereits mit GPS gearbeitet und alle 
betreuten/markierten Wege sind somit als Tracks verfügbar.
Erste (private) Telefonate ergaben, daß die Daten nicht so einfach "herausgerückt" werden können, 
da die ja im Verein erstellt wurden. 
Ich denke, da muß eben auf die Satzung und die Gemeinnützigkeit, etc. geachtet werden
bzw. das Thema erst im Verein abgestimmt werden.
Meine Einschätzung ist, daß langfristig gesehen prinzipiell "etwas gehen könnte", 
vorausgesetzt OSM kann den Wandervereinen auch etwas bieten.


Das kann ich nicht (so einfach), denke aber daß es hilfreich wäre:
1) Renderer aufsetzen der durchsichtige Karte aus den "marked_trail"s erstellt, 
die man in der Slippy-map drüberlegen kann.
Dazu sind später auch .svg Dateien der Wegsymbole nötig 
(z.B. stilisiertes Mühlrad: 4 Speichen, 12 Schaufeln, weiße 3 auf rotem Punkt)

2) Einen überregionalen Wanderweg komplett erfassen und taggen, zwecks "Reklame".
Ggf. sollten da auch alle Wegkreuzungen, Denkmäler, Sehenswürdigkeiten am Weg 
gleich mit erfaßt werden, so daß daraus ein Roadbook des Weges erstellt werden kann.

3) weitere Wandervereine kontaktieren, OSM evtl. dort "professionell" vorstellen.

4) Wanderkarte fürs Garmin erstellen (ähnlich wie die Fahrradkarte)

Zwecks Reklame würde es evtl. auch Sinn machen, einen überregionalen Fahrradweg zu erfassen,
z.B. Maintalradweg. Aber dazu ist das Wetter noch nicht so ideal...


viele Grüße,
Andreas Stenglein
  


Ui... Wanderwege sind nichts zum taggen, ganz im Gegenteil. Dafür sind
die leider immer noch stiefmütterlich behandelten Relationen da, mit
denen man mehere Ways zusammenfassen kann. Praktisch beispielsweise,
wenn ein Radweg teilweise auf einer Bundesstraße verläuft. Siehe hierzu
auch:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/De:Germany_roads_tagging#Wanderwege
und http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Routes

Die Idee mit dem Kontakt zu Wander- und Klettervereinen ist ideal und
ein guter Tipp für die lokale "Offroad"-Erfassung, speziell, da
entsprechende GPS-Ausrüstung und -Erfahrung ja meist schon vorhanden
ist.

[Talk-de] Überregionale Relationen für Routen , z.B. Radfernwege

2008-02-24 Thread H. Schmidt
Hallo,

ich habe gerade mal testweise ein Stück des Schwarze-Laaber Radwegs 
entsprechend 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Routes#Cycle_Routes_in_Use
 als regional cycle route getaggt. Bin gespannt, wie das dann in der Cyle map 
(http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/) aussehen wird.

Da stelle ich mir die folgende Frage: 
Wie kann gewährleistet werden, dass bei längeren Radwegen überall die gleiche 
Relation verwendet wird? 
[ Der Donauradweg hat z.B. laut 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Radfernwege_in_Deutschland eine Länge 
von 1260km und das auch noch länderübergreifend ...]
 D.h. wie findet z.B. der Mapper aus Ulm die Donauradweg Relation, die 
beispielweise ich ein paar Tage vorher im Raum Regensburg angelegt habe?
Ich vermute mal, dass der JOSM immer nur die Relationen lädt, die irgendeinem 
Objekt im aktuellen Kartenausschnitt zugeordnet sind, oder?

Das war heute mein erster echter Kontakt mit dem Konzept der Relationen, 
bestimmt können mir die Experten da weiterhelfen...

Ist es eigentlich im JOSM möglich, alle ways, die zu einer Relation gehören, 
farblich hervorzuheben? Ich habe das gerade mit JOSM ... proberit, aber nichts 
entsprechendes gefunden.
Stopp - das geht doch: im Relation Editor alle Members markieren und auf 
Select klicken. Super!

Viele Grüße,

Helmut

Es gibt bei Openstreetmap 2x Username und Passwort. Einmal für das Wiki und ein

Datenbank.

Einen Account für die Datenbank kann man hier erstellen:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/create-account.html

Die User-ID ist dann normalerweise die Email-Adresse. Ich habe irgendwo gelesen,
dass man als Passwort für die Datenbank kein besonders wichtiges verwenden soll,

Ich hoffe stark, dass Relationen andere Relationen enthalten können und
glaube auch das es so vorgesehen ist (nur halt noch nicht in JOSM
implementiert).

In diesem Fall sehe ich aber nicht den Sinn darin (höchstens als übler
Workaround).
Außer die Route ist explizit in einzelne Etappen unterteilt, was sich
auch vor Ort entsprechend wiederspiegelt. Dann wäre eine solche
Subuntergliederung evtl. gar nicht verkehrt. Aber das jeder Mapper seine
Abschnitte als Relation zusammenfasst und die dann in den großen

Re: [Talk-de] Überregionale Relationen für Routen , z.B. Radfernwege

2008-02-24 Thread Frederik Ramm
Hallo,

 Ich hoffe stark, dass Relationen andere Relationen enthalten können und
 glaube auch das es so vorgesehen ist (nur halt noch nicht in JOSM
 implementiert).

Denke schon... wenn Du es schaffst, eine Relation zu selektieren (z.B.
ueber die Suchfunktion), muesstest Du sie ueber add selected im
Relationen-Editor einer anderen hinzufuegen koennen. Dass das nicht
komfortabel ist, steht auf einem anderen Blatt... ich habe mich
bislang darum gedrueckt, hier viel Gehirnschmalz zu investieren, weil
ich immer dachte, ich gebe dann zu stark vor, was man machen soll, und
am Ende bin ich schuld, wenn alles Mist ist ;-)

Bye
Frederik

Bist du doch sowieso :-)

Das mit der Suche geht ja tatsächlich, bin ich nicht drauf gekommen. Bis
dir was besseres einfällt kannst du ja in das Realtionfenster einfach
einen Select-Button packen. Oder man kann eine Relation über die Member
Of-Liste selektieren.

Aber irgendwie ist das gerade noch etwas inkonsistent mit den Relations,
das die in zwei Listen auftauchen. Aber wenn man die häufiger benutzt
wird sich schon ein Konzept ergeben.

Grüße, Sven

 Bin gespannt, wie das dann in der Cyle map
 (http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/) aussehen wird.

Ah, die kannte ich noch nicht...
Nett...
Aber ist es normal, dass bei Zoom=13 Schluss ist?
Wenn man noch stärker zoomt, lädt er zwar fleißig,
aber es bleibt weiß...
Das ist gerade fürs Radeln etwas ungeschickt...

Was mir immer mal im Kopf rumschwirrt, ist was ganz altmodisches - so
eine Art Excel-Ansicht im JOSM, wo man fuer jedes Objekt einfach
einen Tabellen-Eintrag hat, und dass man dann zwischen der Karte und
der Liste umschalten kann. Ich koennte mir vorstellen, dass das fuer
einige Sachen ganz praktisch waere.

Thomas, j'aurais besoin d'un flux RSS pour cette catégorie si tu as. A
moins que tu préfères que je mette le RSS du blog. C'est toi qui
choise.
Pour ce qui est de la fréquence c'est pas très grave, l'essentiel
étant que le jour où tu postes quelquechose, il soit lu.

 Hi everyone

 I'm sorry to invade your list but I could find no other way of getting
 in touch with the right people and I was advised to do so on the #osm
 IRC channel. I apologise if I am breaking with good etiquette by posting
 this here and asking you to mail us back on show at lugradio dot org as
 I won't be staying subscribed to the list for more than a day or 2. I am
 sorry about that. Perhaps it would be helpful to put some contact
 details for things like this on the OSM website.

 I am organising the exhibition for LugRadio Live USA 2008, which is
 being held at the Metreon Theater in San Francisco on 12th and 13th
 April this year. We would like OSM to take part in the exhibition and so
 would be grateful if you could discuss whether you would be able to
 exhibit OSM on the above dates. I include our call for exhibitors email
 below.

 Many thanks,

 Adam Sweet

 Howdy

 As you may or may not be aware, the very first LugRadio Live USA in 2008
 is taking place at The Metreon in San Francisco. The event will be
 happening on the 12th and 13th April 2008, and will provide the unique
 atmosphere of the UK event, but in glorious San Francisco. LugRadio Live
 has developed a strong reputation for providing a range of topics about
 free software, Open Source, digital rights, technology and more, a
 compelling list of speakers, exhibitors and birds of a feather sessions,
 and wrapping it all in a unique, fun, loose, social and inclusive event,
 which is often described as combining the atmosphere of a rock concert
 and a computer conference.

 At LugRadio Live USA 2008 we plan on bringing this unique atmosphere to
 the USA, and inviting around 30 speakers, a full cast of exhibiting
 projects and companies, an eclectic range of BOF sessions, and plenty of
 additional sessions such as our debate discussion panel, a showcase of
 five minute talks, tech demos, and of course a live recording of
 LugRadio in front of an audience. We expect around 500 - 700 attendees
 to the event.

 Anyway, to the business in hand...

 As mentioned, we'll be having an exhibition area where we want to have
 projects and companies who do cool things. In the past we've had open
 source projects showing off their work such as KDE, Gnome, and Ubuntu,
 companies who work with Linux like Neuros, and distributors like Sun,
 Red Hat and Novell. We were wondering whether you'd be interested in
 having an exhibition stand at the event this year? Exhibitor space is
 free; we don't charge, because LugRadio Live is a community event. The
 focus is on people having a great time, not in making money :-) We'd
 like it if your exhibition stand could be something fun and interactive,
 rather than just a table with leaflets and advertising.

 Another thing: as part of the event, we provide each attendee with a
 registration bag, containing some free items from different
 organisations. We try to keep the items in this bag as interesting as
 possible, and in the past this has included pens, badges, software,
 clothing and more. If you'd like to contribute something to the bag this
 year for LugRadio Live USA 2008, we'd be happy to include it. Both the
 goodie bag and an exhibition stand are excellent ways for you to be
 associated with a strongly community and Open Source focused event, and
 the demographic it attracts. For the bag, we will need 500 of whatever
 you choose to contribute, and all you need to do is ship them to us,
 there is no charge in addition to sending the items - we will add them
 to the bags ready for the event.

 LugRadio Live in the UK has developed a strong reputation for being
 'the' community event in the UK, and we are looking to bring this to
 USA. We would love if you could be one of the organisations who helped
 make this happen. :)

 If you're not the right person to ask about attending, we'd be grateful
 if you could either pass it on to the right person for us or get back in
 touch to let us know who to contact.

 You can check who is speaking and how the event is shaping up by
 checking http://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/

 Any questions or queries, feel free to drop us an email in reply to this
 email, and we really hope you can be a part of the event. :)

 Thanks!
