That's fantastic! It makes the whole process massively less painful.


I don't understand.
Is this just to skip changing to the node tool (press 'n' on the keyboard)?


it's so you don't have to go to node tool, insert node, go to select, 
move node, go back to node tool insert another node, go back to select

Re: [OSM-talk] Left and Right?

2008-08-25 Thread leblatt
Robin : my thought, more or less, but you expressed it better.
I've been tagging a few bus stops in my area, and placing them aside,
unconnected to the way felt a bit strange to me.
We should, however, find a standardized system to determine which side of
the way, or more exactly which direction of the bus route the stop is used
for.
I see at least 2 cases that need it :
- in some cases, the bus stops at a given place, but opposite directions,
are located with an offset of 100m. This is quite a difference for a
pedestrian.
- more rarely, a bus will stop at a place when driving in a direction, but
not the other.

What matters here, is not so much the right or left side positioning of
the stop, as you only have to cross the way to get to it. It is more the
direction forth or back. I think we shouldn’t rely on the side to
determine the direction, as vehicles drive on different sides in different
countries.

Part of it depends. In Ireland, bus stops are frequently marked with a 
sign on the path. This post is not on the road, it is on the path. I 
place the node where that post is on the ground (usually using Yahoo 
Imagery and local knowledge). For example here's a bus stop near where I 
used to live: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.357268lon=-6.423311zoom=18layers=B00FTF 
It's basically on the corner of a few roads.

Remember there are relations for bus routes, they include the bus stops 
and the ways that make up the route. They can be used to figure out 
where a bus will stop.

With regards to house addresses, the Karlsruhe scheme has the (optional) 
addr:street=* tag, so you can associate those addresses with a street. 
I always use this. This is independent from left/right.

i see what you're getting at, but the sign shouldn't be taken to
indicate anything. after all, the sign can't be exactly where the bus
stops, or the bus wouldn't be able to stop there (and it would get in
the way of traffic). i think this is true for most signs - the sign is

unfortunately, i think this is a side-effect of people adding to a tag

maybe we need someone or a coordinated group of someones to look at

I believe it was correct when the incremental updates to namefinder

contained 'add' at that point - is that your understanding too?).

I can find unchanged entries from late May that are in the index; OTOH 
the problem may be more subtle in that if the last element before 
'create' was 'modify', then the 'create's may be interpreted as modify, 
but if it was delete, then as delete, so sometimes entries might have 
been, added sometimes not.

Could it have been the change you mailed about on June 24? Or were the 
bzip files unchanged at that point, and only the new gz ones (which I 
only switched to on August 8) affected?

Am I imagining it, or was there a point at which 'create' replaced 'add' 
in the daily files?

I suspect I am going to have to reload from a full planet, in which case 
I won't do anything urgently as it will be useful to add a few more

Hi,

 highway=footway
 cycle=yes

 highway=cycleway
 foot=yes

 is there any difference between these two?

in germany, the first one implies that cyclists are limited to a myx speed of 
ca. 6km/h, so yes for us it makes a difference.

If it's not legally a footway or cycleway, I thus tend to use

highway=path
foot=designated
bicycle=yes

highway=path
bicycle=designated
foot=yes

to express if the way is more a footway or a cycleway.

Cheers,

Yes, in the cases where I've used this way of tagging. The difference is 
in the signs used. The highway=footway;cycle=yes is mainly a footway and 
marked as such, but with a sub-sign saying 'cycling allowed'. This 
implies that the main users are pedestrians, and cyclists should take 
all due consideration to them, like not claiming the road. Cyclists are 
'guests'.

The other is actually the other way around. It's marked with a cyclists 
sign. You are allowed to walk on it (since there might not be a suitable 
  footpath or sidewalk/pavement nearby), but have to realise there are 
(fast) cyclists around. Often, the foot=yes is implicit, because 
pedestrians can go pretty much anywhere, like on cycleways if no 
pavement is present or even the main road if neither is present (at 
least in The Netherlands and Belgium). I'm using an explicit foot=yes if 
  the cycleway is not paired with a nearby pavement/footway, so the 
routers will know they can use it for pedestrians.

Now, what I'm curious about, and what came up in recent discussions on 
talk-be and #osm-nl, is how far the implicit foot=yes goes in both OSM 
in general, and current routers specifically.

Not every country has the same implicit access rules. For instance, in 
Belgium where a do-not-enter-for-drivers sign (round, white with red 
border) is used, with a sub-sign 'residents only', it is implicitly 
assumed that foot=yes (since pedestrians are not drivers, the sign does 
not apply to them), but also bicycle=yes;horse=yes, even though they're 
legally both drivers, and don't have to live on that street.

Currently, I would need to tag every such destination-only road in 
Belgium with: access=destination;foot=yes;bicycle=yes;horse=yes. Would 
it be possible in the future to mark such implicit nation-wide access=* 
rules for various types of road? So within Belgium, I could get away 
with the much easier access=destination and be done with it, unless 
there are explicit *=no access classes) ?

Re: [OSM-talk] service roads as driveways

2008-08-25 Thread Charlie Echo
 I think that is the key here. The illogical use of 'unclassified' in the UK is
 what causes the problem. So 'service' was added as a designation for a small
 road that would probably be 'unclassified' in the rest of the world.

From what I understand:
- unclassified fits to ways more often used than residential.
We have : motorway  trunk  primary  secondary  tertiary  unclassified  
residential  living_street.
So service cannot be replaced by unclassified because it is not the 
smallest road type.
Residential and Living_street have specific meanings. 
But to be honnest, unclassified is really a bad name because it's not 
explicit and is mixed with undefined. I would have choosen something like 
local_trafic (wherea residential means mostly for people living in the 
street, and living_street is even more local).

- Service fits to ways which lead to a specific service, and that people would 
not use if not interested by the service: parking area, fuel stations, 
supermarkets: drivers enter the way with the clear intention to shop, to park, 
... (No one would use a fuel station as a U-turn zone.) It fits between 
buildings; it fits as back-entrance to shops (when trucks bring goods in, or 
when buyers get high-volume goods they just paid for in the shop, such as 
furniture; ...)


The main issue we have with tags is that they are not international enough:
- for instance, there is one tag about public transport vehicle (from the top 
of my mind) called ptv_something, and it's always a pain to remember it. And 
the PTV scheme does not fit any other country schemes, so no one can use this 
tag.
- another example: the famous living streets do not exist in most countries, 
because the definition is strictly related to driving codes. So other countries 
will have to adapt the tag, or to decide not to use it (which is mostly the 
case in France), or to create another one.

In these cases, the tags are too precise, and not international enough.

The best way to manage this would be to create generic tags with possibly 
slightly different meanings in different countries (we have different speed 
limits in different countries...) This has been managed with primary / 
secondary / tertiary, which are not state_managed / couty_managed / 
city_managed but more generic.


I think it may be a good idea to create a task-force with few leaders (3 ?), 
and 3 active contributors per COUNTRY (with at least one living in a big city, 
and another one in countryside), who would redefine the tags. As said, it's 
going to happen anyway some time.
I also think that a common tags set for all countries just cannot be feasible.

api-sample.osm.xml  change-sample.atom.xml

Unfortunately, you currently need to supply a comparison datetime as a 
parameter. I can use the exslt templates to solve this, but it makes bundling 
something I can simply attach a whole lot more difficult.

To get a local setup to continue checking changes for you, you'd need to 
string together some scripts doing wget and cron, or whatever.

I've attached the XSL transformation (osm2atom.xsl) and my output document 
(change-sample.atom.xml). I'll be happy to put this transform into svn if 
anyone thinks it's worth pursuing as a service on the server. I also don't 
mind moving this discussion to the dev list if it has legs.

Some miscellaneous notes, a.k.a. the devil in the detail:
- When the wiki came back, I looked at alternate datasources but didn't really 
come up with anything completely suitable. The live dataset at least 
shows changes (of unknown kinds) to OSM elements, so it's just workable as 
a watch. I would like for there to be a dataset a little more suited to the 
task. I don't think it's worth investing much more time transforming this 
dataset.
- A timestamp in the bounded XML would be a useful enhancement 
(/osm/@timestamp)
- The XML document has no namespace. This can cause problems for consumers.
- I only did bounded area changes, not user changes, as I couldn't find 
anything suitable at all.

On the need for this type of service, I believe demand will only increase for 
it, as Nick and François alluded, especially if vandalism and other 
maliciousness becomes a problem.

Apologise if this is incoherent. Sleepiness has loomed.

Cheers

Re: [OSM-talk] service roads as driveways

2008-08-25 Thread Marc Schütz
 - another example: the famous living streets do not exist in most
 countries, because the definition is strictly related to driving codes. So 
 other
 countries will have to adapt the tag, or to decide not to use it (which is
 mostly the case in France), or to create another one.

There are similar concepts in a lot of countries; where there really is no 
analogue, the tag should simply not be used. The specific rules (maxspeed etc.) 
of course vary from country to country, but this is also true for all other 
highway types, esp. motorways. In what way do you see living_streets as special?

Re: [OSM-talk] service roads as driveways

2008-08-25 Thread Robin Paulson
2008/8/26 Charlie Echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 The best way to manage this would be to create generic tags with possibly 
 slightly different meanings in different countries (we have different speed 
 limits in different countries...) This has been managed with primary / 
 secondary / tertiary, which are not state_managed / couty_managed / 
 city_managed but more generic.


the problem is, the highway code is the definitive document for each
country, and the likelihood of any of them coinciding 100% is
somewhere close to nil. which means we either have the situation we
have now (which is only going to get worse, as mappers/users from more
and more countries get actively involved), where there are endless
variations on the highway tag to account for every road type. or we
make compromises, which is going to provoke a lot of debate and take
ages to sort, and probably be far from ideal


 I think it may be a good idea to create a task-force with few leaders (3 ?), 
 and 3 active contributors per COUNTRY (with at least one living in a big 
 city, and another one in countryside), who would redefine the tags. As said, 
 it's going to happen anyway some time.
 I also think that a common tags set for all countries just cannot be feasible.

i agree with all this; particularly the last paragraph

  be found above: roads between buildings, short drives to or on parking

  Long driveways to houses *would* probably be missed, at least I would
  miss them. So I would myself instead use highway=unclassified, possibly
  with surface=unpaved if that is the case.

 And access=private I assume?

 If we are mapping people's drive ways, I would have thought we should also
 be stating that they are private property (begs the question, what we are
 doing on their land in the first place.

I see that I may have misunderstood the word 'driveway'. As a non-native 
English speaker, I wasn't aware that it meant private way up to a house. My 
interpretation was a public way up to the property, at which end the 
private part would start.

In that case, I take back what I wrote above, and agree that highway=service 
would be perfect.

Hi Bob,

Use the information on the ground. You will usually find signs welcoming 
you to the new area. It may be a few hundred metres either side, so look 
for the change in tar quality. You may also find that bin mapping is an 
option since the council often puts their name on the bins. (In Ireland 
you need to do bin mapping to get the names of the streets, rather than 
the boundaries).

[OSM-talk] High-Precision GPS Survey Equipment?

Hello Gora,
Thanks for the offer of help. Attached is a very small excerpt of contours
from around the area where I'm mapping. I didn't want to do too much as
they generally come out with pretty huge files

The excerpt give 10m contours, but you should be able to generate whatever
you want from 'extract.txt'. If you need more data and don't want to
download the SRTM data for your/my area let me know and I'll cut out
another section.

Regarding what the 'should' look like; I believe that in addition to whats
in the example OSM file, there should be additional tags such as
'contour_ext = elevation_major' for major multiples, along with
'contour_ext = elevation_medium' and 'contour_ext = elevation_minor' for
the others.

I think this would be along the line of...

tag k='ele' v='1200' /
tag k='contour_ext' v='elevation_major' /
tag k='created_by' v='mkcntr2' /
/way

Once it's coded I can 'spin' a map and tell you whether this is correct.

PS. There is a 1000m ceiling by default, most of my area is above that

Re: [OSM-talk] High-Precision GPS Survey Equipment?

2008-08-25 Thread Charlie Echo
Just to confirm:
GPS position is calculated from signals received from satellites: if all 
satellites give you the time and their position, by calculating the difference 
of time, you get the difference of distance to them, and consequently the 
position.

If the signals are reflected on walls, their distance from satellite may 
increase by 10 or 20 meters, or even more. So there is no way, in such 
conditions, to get a precise position, except by waiting to have all signals in 
direct view.
High precision GPS have highly accurate clocks, so that they can calculate 
precisely the difference of time. Possibly, they can decide to neglect some 
measurements out of range (if 5 satellites give one position and a 6th one a 
different position). 

But you will not get a meter-accuracy with GPS around buildings.

Another way to increase accuracy MAY BE to add an acceleration sensor, that 
will give you your position compared to one reference point (because a GPS in 
open-space can give you a good accuracy after some time).

because not all such paths are for foot or bicycle, and
highway=footway+foot=no is not a good way to do it. (same for

And calling something a footway implicitly puts foot above the other

I recently spoke with someone who's job it is to measure newly laid

they have will not fix (accuratly enough) a lot of times. Around

 Hi Bob,
 
 Use the information on the ground. You will usually find signs welcoming
 you to the new area. It may be a few hundred metres either side, so look
 for the change in tar quality. You may also find that bin mapping is an
 option since the council often puts their name on the bins. (In Ireland
 you need to do bin mapping to get the names of the streets, rather than
 the boundaries).

Old (NPE) OS mapping is good. I was amazed to find how little of the county
boundary had changed in the past 50 years. I would use local knowledge and a
variety of current (possibly copyright) sources to see if the old OS maps
were still current and then digitise off the old maps. For my county the
majority of the boundary was along rivers anyway (which I also entered from
old OS (NPE) maps.

The borough boundary however defeated me; It has changed considerably and
for the majority doesn't follow any recognisable features on the ground so I
don't have any usable source for that at the moment and have left it alone.

It is possible that where it is not clear that it doesn't really matter much
anyway (certainly not 200 meters either way), and that where it is in urban
areas one should be able to get it on or between the appropriate roads. I
might return to the borough boundary some time and have another go. I might
ask a borough councillor to draw the boundary on my paper map and then
transcribe it.

Perl looks like it might fly... I'll give it a go.

The raw data is available in sets, each covering only a portion of the

These files are huge, the one I downloaded covering around Blairmore, AB is:

166Msrtm_14_03.ASC

and the resultant contour.osm files are even worse..

No reason one couldn't provide a series of tiles to cover a wide area.

 Hello Gora,
 Thanks for the offer of help. Attached is a very small excerpt of
 contours
 from around the area where I'm mapping. I didn't want to do too much as
 they generally come out with pretty huge files

 --
 $ du -ah *.osm
 184Kcontours.osm
 244Mcontours_10m.osm
 98M contours_25m.osm
 49M contours_50m.osm
 --

 The excerpt give 10m contours, but you should be able to generate
 whatever
 you want from 'extract.txt'. If you need more data and don't want to
 download the SRTM data for your/my area let me know and I'll cut out
 another section.

 Regarding what the 'should' look like; I believe that in addition to
 whats
 in the example OSM file, there should be additional tags such as
 'contour_ext = elevation_major' for major multiples, along with
 'contour_ext = elevation_medium' and 'contour_ext = elevation_minor' for
 the others.

 I think this would be along the line of...
 --
 way id='105015' timestamp='0001-01-01T00:00:00'
 nd ref='150442' /
 nd ref='150443' /
 nd ref='150444' /
 nd ref='150445' /
 tag k='contour' v='elevation' /
 tag k='ele' v='1200' /
 tag k='contour_ext' v='elevation_major' /
 tag k='created_by' v='mkcntr2' /
 /way
 --

 Once it's coded I can 'spin' a map and tell you whether this is correct.

 Thanks,
 Simon.

 PS. There is a 1000m ceiling by default, most of my area is above that
 which means that you don't get many contours

2008-08-25 Thread Alberto Riva
Hi
I use normally a EGNOS/WAAS submeter DGPS, often for OSM mapping. :-)
My DGPS run really well only in optimal conditions (no satellite
obstruction, multipath, etc.), but I observed that the performance in a
urban environment is normally lower than a normal bluetooth GPS based on a
Sirf III or a MTK chipset. I think that one of the keys of these cheaper
GPSs are the better sensitivity than the most expensive DGPS, as well as the
algorithm for calculating the position (myDGPS uses also carrier for
decoding the signal).

 Hi Ian,
 How much precision do you want/need? And apart from the fun of it, does

My fairly accurate Garmin 60CSx is still wildly inaccurate when I
position myself at the corner of a building and try to measure its
dimensions since the building and the surrounding blocks most GPS
signals. So more accurate surveying equipment would for one thing be
more useful in getting data of regular quality in areas where there's
bad reception.


The way surveyors get around this problem (yes even the best GPS systems
cant see around corners) is to take 8 waypoints by sighting down the edge of
a building (2 points for each side). You can then draw the shape where the
lines intersect. This is how the Ordnance Survey do it for instance (using
an optical square to improve accuracy).

There's also the whole use case of mapping things with 5m accuracy
where most GPS units start being very inaccurate.

Agreed, except it tends to break down for the big urban centres where the
original county boundaries made way for the metropolitan districts. I can
bring the county boundaries into Birmingham from NPE very easily but
defining the boundaries within the urban area for Birmingham, Sandwell,
Walsall, Solihull etc needs the bin and recycle box approach, which I have
to say works remarkably well.

Hi all,
Just to give a hint at what is possible, the company I work for flagship
receiver (L1/L2 dual frequency) can achieve sub-cm accuracy for static
observations when tied into a nearby reference station (or other
receiver). The data is post processes to give the most accurate results.

Unfortunately this level of precision is not cheap, and the math behind
all this is far above my head...

 implies a place where the bus stops, which is on the road.
 
 the fact the bus shelter, or sign, or bench, is some distance off to the 
 side of the road shouldn't matter - the bus itself stops on the road, so 
 the node imo should be part of the way
 
 if the bus stop is off to the side of the road, i.e. not connected to 
 it, then the bus can't physically get to it, which seems very wrong
 
 or, consider from the pedestrian's point-of-view:
 it is assumed for all roads except motorways and where explicitly 
 stated, that there is foot=yes access. in which case, the 
 footpath/sidewalk/pavement is therefore part of the way which represents 
 the road; we don't draw  a separate way off to one side, running 
 parallel. the bus stop must be on the footpath for the pedestrian to be 
 able to walk up to it, so again it must be part of the way
 
 this problem is i think muddled by the fact we represent an area (a 
 road) with a linear object (a way), which theoretically has zero width, 
 so the natural step from this is to say:
 'the way represents the centre of the road, and the bus stop/canal 
 mooring is not in the centre of the road, it's at the side of the road, 
 so I'll put it to one side of the way'
 
 as for placing the node to one side of the way in order to get the icon 
 to be placed correctly, this sounds a lot like 'tagging for the renderer'
 

I disagree with this view.
Do you tag post boxes as way nodes? Shops? Telephones?
No...
So why bus stops? They aren't in the road. They are sites on the side,
like all of the above. It makes no sense to tag them as way objects.

I have seen the arguments about knowing which way they belong to; IMHO
this is specious, no bus company works by looking at OSM to see where to
route their buses, but a map user may well want to know just where the
bus stop is - Anyone looking at a map of where they are who doesn't know
which side they drive, is in trouble. The same goes for any navigation
software.

It really isn't hard to link from bus-stops as points to nearby ways -
check out all the routing apps, not many need a hard node ID or way ID

Gosmore can do it, why not any other app?

It just introduces a whole load of hassle working out which bus stop

agreed. But it's only one aspect. A footway IMO is for pedestrians only (or at 
least mostly used by pedestrians). A path isn't. It's used by hikers, 
cyclists, maybe even motorbikes, horses and (grin) snowmobiles :) .

The discussion about Do we want to have paths or even not will lead us 
nowhere. A certain amount of mappers wants to use it. Thus it's in the 
database. It just does not matter if this amount is 2, 10, 30, 60 or even 80% 
of all mappers. The only fact that counts is: it is in the database because 
people need and use it.

Just my two cents,

If you happen to know exactly which nodes (which are not part of the way)
are your start and end points, then routers can deal with that. If you want
to know which bus stops you will pass while traveling along a way, that's a
much more difficult problem if the nodes are not somehow topologically
associated with the way. It's a more serious problem with house numbers
because the data volume is so much higher (many more house numbers than bus
stops), which makes it even more important to associate a number with a way
(and not by using the street name--that's not topological, is subject to
typos and is difficult to validate automatically).

[OSM-talk-nl] Nederlandse OSM flyer!

2008-08-25 Thread Floris Looijesteijn
Ze zijn er!

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Dutch_openstreetmap_flyer.jpg

Als enigzins laat OSM verjaardagskado meteen maar een speciale surprise:

De eerste 10 mensen die reageren krijgen er gratis en voor niks een aantal
opgestuurd!

Stuur me je adres (niet via de mailinglist!) en hoeveel je er wilt hebben,
(maximaal 10) en ik stuur je ze toe.


Op de voorkant staat een algemeen verhaaltje en een screenshot van
Potlatch. En op de achterkant een demonstratie van de mogelijkheden: De
gebouwcontouren in Almere en de Carnavalskaart.

Ik heb ze vooral gemaakt om bij je te hebben tijdens het mappen zodat je
geinteresseerde mensen iets mee kunt geven. Daarnaast kunnen ze natuurlijk
uitgedeeld worden op de OSM gebruikers dag/SoftwareFreedomDay.

Groet,
Floris

Zo niet, dan moeten we zorgen dat er in elk geval iemand er wat

Verder wil ik er wel wat voor aankomende lokale promotie-activiteiten.

 Om het maar vast even over de lokatie te hebben. Misschien is het handig om

 Plus dat op deze manier we er ook nog een sociaal gebeuren van kunnen maken

  Heren en Dames,
 
  Het is mijn overtuiging dat de tijd is aangebroken om een duidelijke
  standaard voor OSM tags in Nederland op te stellen. Aan de hand van deze
  gids moet een ieder aan de hand van sluitende definities kunnen vaststellen
  welke tags een willekeurige weg of pad moet krijgen.
 
  Deze standaard is mijns inziens noodzakelijk om in een later stadium
  effectief navigatie software en consistente grafische weergaves te maken
  van de OSM data. Op internationaal niveau zijn er al een aantal afspraken
  (zoals de Map_Features pagina) en hier zullen we zo veel mogelijk bij
  aansluiten. Deze internationale afspraken zijn echter verre van sluitend,
  en niet voldoende geschikt om beginners het land in te sturen.
 
  Ik zal voorlopig het voorzitterschap op me nemen. Klinkt zwaarder dan het
  is, maar iemand moet even de eerste stappen zetten. Dit brengt me tot de
  volgende voorlopige deelnemerslijst:
 
  - Geert Schuring (Voorzitter)
  - Freek van Wal
 
  Laten we Doodle gebruiken om de datum te bepalen van de eerste meeting.
  Wanneer je je aanmeld voor de werkgroep, geef dan via Doodle ook meteen aan

[OSM-talk-nl] OpenStreetResearch (ja nog ff ;)

2008-08-25 Thread Stefan de Konink
Hoi,


Ik kan het nu alvast op talk-nl aankondigen, er komt binnenkort een mooi 
uitgebreid verslag over De Geheime Alternative API Server.


...maar in de tussentijd op OpenStreetPhoto.org:

http://sift.openstreetphoto.org/matches/


Wat heb ik gedaan? Op wikipedia zijn verkeersborden te downloaden, ik 
heb er een aantal gepakt. Ik heb met m'n telefoon camera een foto 
gemaakt van een verkeersbord.

Het SIFT algoritme kan nu een tekst bestand maken met 'keypoints', dat 
blijft voor dat bestand altijd hetzelfde (behalve als je met parameters 
gaat tweaken).

Dus initieel maken we voor alle verkeersborden keypoint bestanden, zo 
ook voor iedere nieuwe geuploade afbeelding.


Ik heb een stukje code gemaakt wat de overeenkomsten kan bepalen tussen 
twee keypoint bestanden, en daar een plaatje van maakt (en ook het 
aantal overeenkomsten teruggeeft).


Practisch nut: stel nu dat we deze applicatie werkend krijgen zouden we 
een filmpje op kunnen nemen, sampelen op twee beelden per seconden. En 
vervolgens borden zoeken :)

Außenherum ist Wald und innendrin nen Truppenübungsplatz.
Ich dachte deshalb, dass ich eine Relation type=multipolygon anlege und 
dann den Wald als outer und den Truppenübungsplatz als inner deklariere. 
   Allerdings entstehen dann solche Fehlstellen. Hab ich jetzt schon

Die Lösung liegt momentan eher in der Richtung, dass man passende

 Hi Toni!

 Eintrag im Wiki habe ich gerade schon gemacht. (Hoffe, das war Dir recht.)
 
 Jetzt habe ich nur das Problem, dass man bei JOSM nicht einfach eine
 Relation mit seinen Membern (und ggfs. der Umgebung) laden kann. Habe
 jedenfalls keinen Weg gefunden. :-(
 
 Um also an anderer Stelle (z. B. westlich des Chiemsees) Member der
 Relation 29350 hinzufügen zu können, muss ich zuerst eines Deiner Via
 Julia Teilstücke laden, um an die Relation zu kommen.
 
 Oder hat da jemand einen besseren Weg?
 Wie sucht, findet und ladet Ihr Relationen in JOSM?

Hallo Leupi,

ja, über das Problem habe ich auch nachgedacht.

Evtl. sollte man (werde ich) eine URL zum Download einer ganz kleinen
Area in JOSM (copypaste) mit angeben. Nach Download dieser Area
müsste dann das Hinzufügen einfacher gehen.

Darüber hinaus müsste man mal zur Diskussion stellen, ob es nicht

Mir ist nicht so ganz klar, in welchen Konstellationen das langsamer

Moin,

 Also wenn die Tret-Draisinen railway bekommen, jedoch von BR143
 befahre Trassen aber als light_railway getagt werden, dann stimmt
 irgendwas nicht.

auch hier geht es ja darum, dass wir mit einem Tag verschiedene Dinge 
auszudrücken versuchen, beispielsweise um was für eine Gleisanlage handelt es 
sich (narrow_gauge) und was verkehrt darauf (rail, light_rail). Speziell die 
letzte Frage lässt sich nicht immer eindeutig beantworten.

Solange wir das nicht ausdetaillieren können (was früher oder später sowohl 
bei Straßen als auch Bahnen kommen wird), muss man sich halt einen möglichst 
sinnvollen Tag ausdenken.

IMO gilt daher, dass jemand, der sowas mappen möchte, die Strecke halt so 
auszeichnen sollte, damit später ein anderer noch weiß, was gemeint war. 
Beispiele:

railway=draisine (würde wohl momentan nicht gerendert)

railway=rail
disused=yes
draisine=yes

highway=rail
draisine=designated

Die ist auch ein schönes Beispiel dafür, warum ich immer darauf hinweise dass 
Map Features nicht die Bibel ist.

Ich hatte meinen Text mehr als auf Dich auf die vorigen Posts (und
andere Threads) bezogen. Wollte niemandem eine Schuld fuer irgendwas
geben und habe nur deshalb Dirk direkt angesprochen, weil er das
feature programmiert hat und hier mit der Bitte um feedback
vorgestellt. Daher dachte ich, dass er am besten weiss, wie man es
machen kann.

Ich bin uebrigens gerade dabei, mich ein bisschen einzulesen:
http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Standard:_Erste_Schritte

aber fuer Nichtprogrammierer ist es weniger trivial, solche Variablen
aus dem Code zu ziehen, wie man sich als Profi vermutlich vorstellen
kann. Mal sehen, bald weiss ich hoffentlich mehr.  ;-)

sehe ich genauso. In der Regel sollte der Router davon ausgehen, dass
er eine Verbindung auch nutzen kann. Wenn nicht, ist entweder flasch
gemappt (Verbindung, wo keine ist), oder man muss durch eine Relation
klar machen, dass man die Verbindung nicht nutzen darf. Wenn man hier

Die Einstein-Preferences kennen einen Wert nur unter zwei Bedingungen:
a) Der Wert ist konfiguriert wurden.
b) Der Wert wurde in der aktuellen Sitzung schonmal benutzt.

Also im Zweifelsfall die zugehörige Funktion einmal benutzen (hier Ändern)
