Um... no. First up there is nothing to stop you being logged in on more than one machine at once. I do it all the time. Secondly a user can have more than one token at a time and any one of them is sufficient to have full access to the api. What actually happens with Potlatch is that the server checks the session (which is tied to the client browser instance by a cookie) for a token and if it doesn't find one it creates one and saves it in the session. That token is then embedded in the edit page as a parameter to the Potlatch applet.

Potlatch uses the same token as the rest of the Rails site, rather than a JOSM-like separate auth - the SWF doesn't even know your username or password, it just has the token.

Yes, of course. BTW, it is not that easy to estimate the speed on cycleway. On overland cycleways next to the road you are often slower than if you would cycle on the road. But that's a different issue. -- Karl Eichwalder ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

[OSM-talk] gps map machting algorithm
Hello, I'm currently working on my diploma thesis "more realistic speed costs for roads". In this thesis, i will evaluate gps tracks to get better time costs für road sections. This data will be saved and could be applied in future, above an api, together with osm routing software. For this thesis, i need a solution for the gps matching problem with osm data. I read several papers, but there are a lot of different methods. Has somebody experience in gps map machting algorithms and can recommend me a method? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

The [EMAIL PROTECTED] client has a provision for downloading the data in stripes if downloading the whole z12 tile fails. For that, it needs to merge the results.

You forgot to use the -m flag when you ran osm2pgsql.
