Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Cloudmade

2008-10-03 Thread Adrian
 Another example: I could take a planet dump, make a derivated product, and 
 *not* release it into the public. You could then buy it from me, and you 
 would *not* be bound to release it to the public for free. You could, though, 
 possibly lowering the possibilities of me selling a second copy for money 
 (depending on the novelty of my product).

Thanks for this explanation, and for the other responses, I'm now a bit 
happier!

I had sort of assumed that share alike meant, well, sharing on the 
same terms.

Presumably then using a OSM data to produce travel directions is all 
fine if the end point coordinates are known. If, other the other hand, 
the start and end points (sorry, this is going to get UK specific) are 
postcodes and the coordinates derived from Code-Point then the route 
will be derived from both Ordnance Survey data and OSM data.

In this situation using the route internally would be OK, but 
distributing it outside of an organisation would be impossible (because 
of OS copyright?) Or would it the recipient just be unable to exercise 
their CC-By-SA rights?

 I'm sort of taking offence at your implied suggestion that there is one 
 group of people who give to the project and another group, among whom 
 you seem to count Cloudmade and would probably also count Geofabrik, of 
 people who take from the project to make a business.

I'm sorry to have given that impression. I very much appreciate the 
effort that Steve, Nick and everyone else has put into OSM, and I hope 
that they, and you, are successful in making a profit from that effort.

This thread came about because I misunderstood the CC-By-SA licence and 
because I perceived Cloudmade couldn't be bothered to address my concerns.

In the commercial world the data providers would take months pulling 
apart a reseller's business plan. I think the OSM contributors are due, 
morally if not legally, some of that respect.

[OSM-talk] Correcting DOT bridge coordinates

2008-10-03 Thread Simon (Vsevolod) Ilyushchenko
Hi,

I have taken US DOT bridge condition appraisal data and created a
regionated KML visualization: see post at
http://www.thedaysarenumbered.com . However, almost all bridges are
not geolocated correctly. I wonder if someone can recommend a way to
use OpenStreetMap to edit the bridge information so that, on one hand,
the bridges are added to the map if they are not there already,
and on the other hand, so that the corrected bridge coordinates could
be extracted and given back to DOT (as a way of saying thank you)?

I got somewhat contradictory advice on IRC. So far I gathered that
it's technically possible to just import the 180k entries into the
base layer (the total bridge count is actually 700k, I'm just showing
the lowest quartile). However, connecting the uploaded bridges to the
real ones (if those are present) may not happen for a while, so the
map will become littered. Automatically matching the bridges will
hardly work in most cases. I'd prefer to add bridges to a hidden layer
first and only push them to the base layer once data are verified.

BTW, I was pleasantly surprised when the OSM California road dataset
proved to be much better than the one the state of California provides.

Thanks,
Simon

OSM Mapper does offer all of this (and much more!), I was just

Those who will read and follow the code of conduct are not those who

Same with a type of robots.txt tag on nodes. Those adhering to those

To get back to the issue of a bot running in a specific country : Let's say

say there are a few occurrences of Strasse where it is not a spelling

Spaeth wrote Those who don't think through their actions

I agree with you and let me explain why I do not think it's a big issue :

I often install free software on my computer (proprietary and FOSS, poorly
documented and well documented, reviewed and unreviewed) and I have no idea
if that software will waste my time, open a massive security hole or even
worse, do something malicious. And I expect the same of others, e.g. gosmore
users.

At least the OSM data structure is so simple, that we have so many ways to
fight the bot problem :
* Statistical detection of bots. From the output of my awk script I can
deduce that 'DaBear' has edited an unhumanly number of objects during
October and is most likely the cause of this thread.
* Tools for targeted reverts.
* Responding with simple server changes *when necessary*, like banning
users, limits to upload sizes, Captcha on signup etc.

Well. Most people running a bot have a certain interest of helping or 
improving OSM. The rules they build into their bots are often based on 
discussions on the mailing list or suggestions found on Wiki pages. So 
they *do* read stuff before they act, and they *want* to do it right.

The aim of that code of conduct is to give people a better idea of 
what we think is right.

Many come from a strong IT background and tend to spend little or no 
time on thinking about the social component their bots might have - the 
respect the work of others part.

I want the code of conduct to have a status like Map Features has - it 
is not something you *have* to follow, not a strict rule and has not 
been voted upon by anybody, but if you *do* adhere to it then you're 
less likely to encounter problems.

This is all based on positive thinking, assuming that people are 
basically well-meaning. I'll leave it to others to deal with those who

[OSM-talk] really minor Mapnik issue

2008-10-03 Thread Norbert Wenzel

Hi,

I just saw the name of a golf course in Salzburg, Austria [0] which 
shows a small (for Mapnik, but really big typographical) error. The dash 
in the name is drawn as the first sign in a line, which is really ugly.


It doesn't even make any sense to draw it like that, since the last line 
(the line with the dash) is the longest line, so there would have been 
enough space in the previous line for the dash, without increasing the 
size of the texts bounding box further than necessary.


Anyway, in my opinion the BB doesn't even matter, because the dash 
should *never* be the first sign in a line.


Don't get me wrong, it's only a minor issue, but it's really ugly, and 
if it would be easy to fix, I'd appreciate that. If it's not easy, it 
should be kept in mind, but I don't think such typographical errors are 
very often found on the map, so it wouldn't need a high priority.


cheers,
Norbert

Reversing these actual changes, I'm sure someone can dig into.

But we'll need a more permanent measure against vandalism.

Something that'll make it easy to reverse things.

An idea I've had, is to add revised-tags to OSM data. Which means that
1) You can choose to check out only the stable map, or
2) You can choose the development version. But this isn't at all gonna
be easy, we need to devise a plan to make it as little hassle as
possible to review OSM data and put a quality stamp on it, and to diff
the area between the last revised tag and what exists today, see if
the changes looks good, and then just approve it.

And yes: I know - I should sit down and code it :) This *is* a proposal,
and I'm no coder. And I also know that a fair amount of people will
disagree, but unless we put up a way to avoid random vandalism to
pollute the production set of data, noone is gonna dare use our data
to anything except small things that can be manually verified.

  Long answer: For this, I just enable Mapnik (ot [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as the

  The other way is to work with OSB and the World OSB manager. It allows to

  Jut be sure to download up-to-date data from OSM before editing.

 *hits self on forehead*.

  - Keyboard shortcuts:
  I committed just 2 days ago a shortcut editor. That, I guess, solves the
  issue.
 
  Excellent! Having better defaults would be, well, better, though ;-)

  - Download more:
  Prevents having multiple download layers. If you move outside your
 initial
  download area, just download more to have current data in the current
  download layer.
  Additionally, is the equivalent of download-viewport without the dialog.
 
  Aaah, would be nice to be able to tell that from the UI :) Maybe
 rename download viewport to current layer or similar? I guess I'll start
 using it now that I know what it does (I hate having a zillion layers).

  - Would it be possible to shade areas over time

  Yes, exactly, though hardly a priority. Not worth the effort at this

Here is my proposal for Wikipedia. I hope they someday adopt it.

Have a variety of tags concerning quality and let people filter with those
tags.

Anyone can form a group and each group would have its own tags that only
that
group can change.

In this specific case some people can form a no vandalism group and tag data
that looks to be vandalism free.

People looking at the data could then filter based on the reputation of the

Not sure if it is a good idea to mix data from osmxapi in an editor to
upload to the main api though.


That won't be a problem when the version tag is exposed in version 0.6  
of the main api. It will mean that uploads will be rejected if they  
don't have the most recent version, which can then be easily downloaded.

 Just demonstrably not true. Most people don't know what co-ordinates

 make us look less usable.


 I could well imagine that there are people who would like to feed the
 coordinates of some place they have found from the OSM map into their GPS
 for
 navigating.  Not that the coordinates need to be visible all the time.



 For that you can use the permalink to get the latitude and longitude.
 That's what I do on a regular basis. By the time you know what latitude and
 longitude is, you will know what a permalink is.


I knew about latitude and longitude about 25 years before hyperlinks were
even invented, let alone permalinks.

Although I'm slightly suprised by the fact that google has roughly twice as
many hits for permalink than for longitude.

 Nah, it's not that bad.  It just means that the only data currently

Well, none of the schemes proposed so far actually deal with the case
of subtle vandalism. They're all assuming it's possible to determine
whether an edit is good or not. The only fool proof way of doing that
is to send someone to check it out in reality, which is going to be a
fairly intractable problem. The obvious vandalism is the low hanging
fruit, and the obvious place to start if you're aiming for a more
stable map. I'd imagine people will do this for smaller areas in a
similar fashion to how we handle the coastlines for the cyclemap (ie:
we grab the data every so often, and just keep the old data if the new
looks too broken in a critical place -- at that point I usually try
and fix it of course).

 Jordan's approach to licence writing is to make the core licence

 a human-readable summary and an impenetrable legal code). ODBL is
 admirably clear.
 

You are obviously more adept at reading machine code than me! Seriously, I
think that most potential users would find it hard to decode what the
current draft licence would mean for them, I do however agree that the legal
text should be as easy to understand as possible.

As such I think the twin document will be necessary, one paraphrases the
main points in a few words, the other is the legally binding contract and is
ideally 1 page or 1.5 pages max; however we can decide on whether we need
the summary as the process continues.

Fair enough, though as far as I know it's never stated anywhere else

 Note that the implies oneway=yes in the right column wasn't added on

Only since October 2007.  So there's a seven month window in which it

stated clearly.

 Hence the only option is to revisit all motorway links that don't have a
 oneway value and add it. After that we may have a oneway=yes

It's really not the only option.  We can also just accept that there are 
a few motorway_link tags that are wrong.  Which there probably will be

Re: [OSM-talk] vandalism on OSM

2008-10-03 Thread Peter Miller

Using OSM Mapper it is already possible to identify who is changing data
within an defined area. I use this to monitor for changes in areas I care
about using RSS setting up an RSS feed to check for all changes made by
people other than me in the area.

We developed the functionally in the product because it was needed. More
about it here:
http://itoworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-osm-mapper-for-openstreetmap.html

We can't currently identify deleted features, and this is a limitation that
we will overcome soon, but we can check for name changes and the like.

Since using it I have occasionally spotted unintentional problems produced
by people who are trying to help, but have spotted no deliberated areas in
my area.

 While discussing leisure=bullring in the talk-es (spanish speaking list), the 
issue came up of bullrings that are only set up on certain occasions 
(holidays and other special events). This is also common for fairs, circuses, 
etc. So we thought something like a tag temporary=yes/no would be nice for 
them, I searched in the wiki and found nothing of the sort, is something of 
the sort available? opening_hours is not fit for this, obviously. I'm not 
sure temporary is the right word (specially since it might give the idea

 motorway_links rather than motorway. Most of the links like this that I

 'Maximum speed' for a single carriageway road in the UK is 60 MPH. This
 applies to these links up to the 'start of motorway' sign which may not be
 actually at the end of the link - I've seen traffic cops with speed guns

 couple of roads that merge into the motorway ;)

But motorway_link has usually been used to tag sliproads. These aren't 
sliproads - it's the mainline of the motorway.
http://pathetic.org.uk/current/a601m/photos/images/Dsc00055_jpg.jpg

The start of motorway sign is at the end of the link where it meets the 
B-road in the case of the A601(M) - and the end nearest the Walton Summit 
Industrial Estate in the other example.

The 60mph limit for cars on single carriageways do not apply to special 
roads - which is the legal term for motorways (and one or two other bits of 
road like the A55 at Conwy - where you'll notice there are 70mph signs 
rather than the national speed limit sign). Instead, the Motorways Traffic 
(Speed Limit) Regulations 1974 apply to all motorways - defining the limit 
to be 70mph for cars - regardless of whether it is single or dual

 I just saw the name of a golf course in Salzburg, Austria [0] which

Mapnik has its own development community outside of OSM and you may find
it a better place to raise this issue.

 It doesn't even make any sense to draw it like that, since the last line 
 (the line with the dash) is the longest line, so there would have been 
 enough space in the previous line for the dash, without increasing the 
 size of the texts bounding box further than necessary.

The current algorithm splits the line at the first space after it
exceeds the configured width. Your suggestion sounds reasonable but you
need to find a C++ programmer willing to develop it.

 Anyway, in my opinion the BB doesn't even matter, because the dash 
 should *never* be the first sign in a line.
 
 Don't get me wrong, it's only a minor issue, but it's really ugly, and 
 if it would be easy to fix, I'd appreciate that. If it's not easy, it 
 should be kept in mind, but I don't think such typographical errors are 
 very often found on the map, so it wouldn't need a high priority.

It starts getting even more complex once you start having to worry about
which Unicode characters are appropriate places to split a line. One
possibility might be to defer the work to a library like:

[OSM-legal-talk] Cloudmade

2008-10-03 Thread Adrian
Hopefully someone here can explain this for me. Cloudmade have received 
a large amount of venture capital funding for their OSM based projects.

Public details are a little vague on Cloudmade's plans, and they haven't 
responded to my request for information, so this is a little bit 
guesswork, but they seem to be intending to make OSM toolkits and 
derived data products.

The legal FAQ says that derived data products (that are distributed) 
must be made available under the terms of the licence - I interpret that 
to mean for free, am I badly wrong?

That discounts a revenue stream from derived data products.

Similarly anyone using Cloudmade's toolkits to make derived products and 
then distributing them, even if it's just a paper map, would have to 
distribute the derived product for free too, so there doesn't seem much 
of a market for the tools.

Against that background I look at the OSM Foundation members and the 
Cloudmade founders and start to feel a little nervous that the same 
people that are driving licence change and have access to the database 
that the rest of us contributors don't are somehow trying to make money 
from OSM.

No argument with that. Except that These roads LINK the minor roads with the 
Main route of the motorway. They do not FORM the main route of the motorway 
since you still have to merge with the main traffic flow on the through route.

  The 60mph limit for cars on single carriageways do not apply to special

My comment about the speed limit was that the 60 applies ( or even less if a 
local limit applies on the approaching roads! ) UP TO the start of motorway 
sign and some of these link roads that is simply not at the 'start' of the 
road. At some point, if correct speed indication is to be provided for route

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Cloudmade

2008-10-03 Thread Nic Roets
I'm not too worried. Cloudmade received something like $2m at a time when it
was easy to raise money. So those investors may realistically expect to make
only tens of millions of dollars over the next few years. Compare that with
the $10b odd that TeleAtlas and NavTech sold for at the same time.

So Cloudmade do not need to do anything sneaky to make money. If they are
the first and only company to do a variety of things with OSM data add a
little bit of value with a little bit of proprietary software they may do
just fine. In other words occupy niches that FOSS does not intend to cover.

 Public details are a little vague on Cloudmade's plans, and they haven't

 guesswork, but they seem to be intending to make OSM toolkits and

 The legal FAQ says that derived data products (that are distributed)

 That discounts a revenue stream from derived data products.

 Similarly anyone using Cloudmade's toolkits to make derived products and
 then distributing them, even if it's just a paper map, would have to
 distribute the derived product for free too, so there doesn't seem much
 of a market for the tools.

 Against that background I look at the OSM Foundation members and the
 Cloudmade founders and start to feel a little nervous that the same
 people that are driving licence change and have access to the database

Wrong. Free as in freedom doesn't equal free as in free beer.

Let's take ITO's wonderful product, OSM Mapper 
(http://www.itoworld.com/product/osm) as an example of how this works. ITO 
basically gets a daily planet dump, and generates pretty graphics from it.

Now, ITO could charge some money for the service - rendering the pretty 
graphics - but the result would fall under the same copyleft license (e.g. 
the images are CC-by-sa).


Another example: I could take a planet dump, make a derivated product, and 
*not* release it into the public. You could then buy it from me, and you 
would *not* be bound to release it to the public for free. You could, though, 
possibly lowering the possibilities of me selling a second copy for money 
(depending on the novelty of my product).



 Against that background I look at the OSM Foundation members and the
 Cloudmade founders and start to feel a little nervous that the same
 people that are driving licence change and have access to the database
 that the rest of us contributors don't are somehow trying to make money
 from OSM.

They indeed are. But from a legal point of view there is *nothing* that stops 
you from following their ways to make money. You have all the data at your 
disposal, now and in the future, so you can compete with them in fair terms.

You are. The licence, like all open source licences, doesn't concern  
itself with whether you charge or not.

What it says is that, when you give someone a derived product, they  
then have the right to redistribute it under the terms of the  
licence. This can be for free if you like, or you can charge.  
Ultimately it will _probably_ gravitate towards free but there's  
nothing to enforce that.

The proposed new licence doesn't change that at all. It simply draws  
the dividing lines between derived and collective more clearly  
for data purposes, and makes it easier for us to reintegrate such  
data into OSM. It's neither weaker nor stronger than CC-BY-SA, just  
different and, for our purposes, more appropriate.

CloudMade's business model is no concern of mine, but plenty of  
companies have thrived by offering services connected with  
similarly-licenced software (RedHat and Linux is the most famous  
example), and CM, I'd guess, see this kind of opportunity with OSM.  
And good luck to them.

 Against that background I look at the OSM Foundation members and the
 Cloudmade founders and start to feel a little nervous that the same
 people that are driving licence change and have access to the database
 that the rest of us contributors don't are somehow trying to make  
 money
 from OSM.

I'm one (have long been one) of the people driving licence change,  
and don't have any interest in CloudMade: in fact on one occasion I  
actually bristled a lot at something they were proposing (see talk  
passim, The future of Potlatch). Nor do I have any special access  
to the database - well, not since I took the SQL out of  
amf_controller ;) .

I've simply seen, as have others, lots of practical problems with the  
current licence, and believe that the proposed replacement solves  
most of these. (Bear in mind that Creative Commons, who actually  
wrote our current licence, would have us dedicate all of OSM's data  
to the public domain - which, though I like it personally, offers  
_no_ legalistic safeguards against the sort of thing you're concerned  
about.)

[OSM-talk] Loading img file onto Garmin 60 CSx

For people to debug, you need to:

1) Provide the OSM data you worked from.
2) Provide the resulting .IMG-file.
3) Provide the exact commands and steps to make/install it.

I have a 60Csx and regularly make Garmin maps from OSM-data that I use.

 Presumably then using a OSM data to produce travel directions is all
 fine if the end point coordinates are known. If, other the other hand,
 the start and end points (sorry, this is going to get UK specific) are

 will be derived from both Ordnance Survey data and OSM data.

Well, that depends.

See, right now OSM's license (CC-by-sa) and point of view is based on 
copyright. The upcoming license (ODbL + OFIL) is based on the european 
database directive, plus the delief that factual data is, um, facts.

If your point of view is copyright, then the postcode coordinates are 
copyrighted by OS (and/or royal mail*); the route would be a derivate product 
of OS and OSM data.

* I don't know the specifics of UK

If your point of view is the database directive + facts, then getting the two 
individual postcode coordinates is something called extraction of a 
non-substantial part of the data, which is completely allowed. And, the data 
you've extracted are facts, and thus not subject to copyright. So, you can do 
whatever you want with those coordinates, no strings attached.


You should contact a lawyer, and know OS' point of view about the issue before 
doing business with these kind of things.


IMHO, OSM will be a pioneer by assuming this position. I don't know how OS and 
other NMAs will respond to the new OSM license and point of view over map 
data ownership. There will be interesting times ahead, indeed.


 In this situation using the route internally would be OK, but
 distributing it outside of an organisation would be impossible (because
 of OS copyright?) Or would it the recipient just be unable to exercise
 their CC-By-SA rights?

*If* you are assuming that the postcode coordinates are (c) OS, then you 
couldn't mix them with OSM data, and would be infringing either OS' 
copyright or a fellow OSM mapper's copyright.

In other words, choose your poison: either infringe OS' copyright, or become 
in breach of the CC-by-sa license.


Now, you should weight the risks: Is OS going to sue you for using the 
postcode coords internally? Is some OSM mapper or the OSMF going to sue you 
for the same reason?


If you assume the database+facts position, then you wouldn't be breaching the 
CC-by-sa in any way, but the OS *might* think differently, and sue you.

  Frederick,
  That's only the case for OBVIOUS vandalism or accident, as in the OP,
 that can be seen in a casual 'fly-over' the map. What about subtle vandalism
 (renaming random streets, changing one-way directions etc)
  Even in areas that I have personally mapped, I doubt that I'd be able to
 tell at a glance that this had happened without digging out my original
 notes and comparing street by street(in effect, remapping the area) which I
 wouldn't do without a huge visual clue.
 

 Well, none of the schemes proposed so far actually deal with the case
 of subtle vandalism. They're all assuming it's possible to determine
 whether an edit is good or not. The only fool proof way of doing that
 is to send someone to check it out in reality, which is going to be a
 fairly intractable problem. The obvious vandalism is the low hanging
 fruit, and the obvious place to start if you're aiming for a more
 stable map. I'd imagine people will do this for smaller areas in a
 similar fashion to how we handle the coastlines for the cyclemap (ie:
 we grab the data every so often, and just keep the old data if the new
 looks too broken in a critical place -- at that point I usually try
 and fix it of course).

Yes, but in a world of 65000 users you're left with a lot less data.
It may be enough for your purpose in which case that's great. For
smaller areas it probably works quite well, but I'm fairly sure it'll
hit a scalability problem. With OSM as a whole we rely on there being
more good guys than bad guys, and that's generally worked so far, but
you do have that instability problem in that it can take a while for
errors to be detected and corrected.

The subtle vandalism is hard to spot because it looks genuine. You
only determine it isn't genuine with local knowledge or on the ground
observations. That means you can't trust anything until it's been
checked out by a trusted member and the more people you bring in as
members to hit your coverage goals, the more chance you get
compromised and start letting in lower quality data.

How much of this is actually a problem depends a lot on what you are
actually trying to achieve.

Subtle vandalism will always be the hardest to spot. If it is
imagined that it might become a problem, then perhaps uploading a
change to anything which already existed could notify the last 1 or
2 people that amended that feature, as they are the most likely to
know what is correct or be in a position to double check if they

That still wouldn't handle addition of things that don't exist type

train_stop ist analog zu bus_stop und tram_stop.
Es gibt ja auch Busbahnhöfe...

 Begründung: stationund halt beiden werden seit langem mit der

Mir kam es so vor, als ob die meisten Leute halt auch für
Haltepunkt verwendet haben, weil der Begriff in Deutschland
sehr geläufig ist:

Im Tagwatch für DE gibt es 2501 Halts ... damit werden nämlich
leider auch U-Bahnen und alles andere bezeichnet. Man kann es
nicht auf die Eisenbahn zurückführen.

Tagwatch zeigt übrigens utner railway=station keinen Eintrag?!

Das Datenbank-Importscript wandelt yes  no soweit ich weiß sowieso

[Talk-de] Parkplatz - je nach Uhrzeit

2008-10-03 Thread Sebastian Hohmann
Hallo,
wie taggt ihr Parkplätze, die nur in einem bestimmten Zeitraum eine 
begrenzte Parkdauer haben oder kostenpflichtig sind? Beides kann man 
taggen, mit maxstay bzw. fee, aber nicht angeben wann das gilt. Und 
zumindest hier gibt es sehr viele dieser Parkplätze. Wenn man schon die 
Angaben zu Parkdauer oder Kostenpflichtigkeit macht, sollte man doch 
auch angeben, wann das gilt. Schließlich macht es ja schon einen 
Unterschied ob das Navi einem nachts auf einen weiter entfernten 
Parkplatz führt, obwohl der nächstliegende nur tagsüber etwas kostet.

Ich hab mal ein Proposal [1] dazu erstellt, wie man es machen könnte. 
Aber vielleicht hat ja noch jemand eine andere Idee.

Wenn es einen deutlichen Unterschied zu einer Wohnstraße gibt, sollte es auf 
keinen Fall residential sein.

Eine Wohnstraße zeichnet sich für mich dadurch aus, dass man da nur rein 
fährt, wenn man sich seinem Ziel nähert, also nicht später wieder auf eine 
größere Straße wechselt. (Oder wenn man grade losfährt, ja!)

Die Klassifizierung einer Durchgangsstraße würde ich dann wirklich vom Kontext 
abhängig machen. Ist sie kleiner als eine der nahegelegenen secondaries, ist 
es tertiary. ;-)

Leider fristet tertiary in Deutschland vielerorts ein Nischendasein, 
eigentlich schade.

(dem mapserver hab ich epsg:900913 beigebracht), OSM und Google Tiles
umschalten kann. OL kann das out of the box (einfach new
OpenLayers.Layer.WMS, new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM oder
new OpenLayers.Layer.Google). Bei Google geht erst mal nur das
Google Tile Format. WMS Anbindung hab ich zwar auch schon mal
irgendwo gesehen, aber das ist third party code.

 Zumindest können Ergebnisse von WMS-Servern mit unterschiedlicher 
 Projektion nicht in einer Karte überlagert werden, oder doch?

Natürlich nicht, denn dazu müsste Openlayers ja die Rasterbilder
umrechnen.

 Es ist die Betrachtungsweise. Du würdest entsprechend der
 Bahnhofskategorien mappen (denn genau das wurde dort bewertet).
 Ich würde vermutlich genauso mappen, wollte aber die Konfliktpunkte
 finden: Es gibt große Bahnhöfe (z.B. im Osten), wo alle paar Stunden
 ein Zug hält ... große Gleisanlagen vorhanden, aber halt total
 unattraktiv. Ist das ein Bahnhof oder nur (noch) ein Haltepunkt?

Ich spende ein Foto (mit autostitch zusammengerechnet, Himmel links
oben flüchtig aufgefüllt):

Bei Bedarf gibt es das Bild auch in groß :)

Großer Bahnhof mit kleinem Haltepunkt (hinter dem Mast zu sehen), alle
zwei Stunden geht ein Zug.

 Im Moment kann ich jetzt nicht mehr mit FF 2 testen. 

Auf die Schnelle getestet scheint hier alles zu tun. 


Vielen Dank für diese geniale Anwendung,

 Hallo zusammen,

 
 Um die Probleme zu beheben: Mit JOSM kann ich 2 nahe beieinander
 liegende nodes verbinden. Würde das auch gehen, wenn auf der einen
 Straße noch kein node in der Nähe vorhanden ist (also ohne vorher einen
 Node einzufügen)? wenn ja, wie?

Jep, das geht. JOIN Node heißt die Funktion J die Taste dafür.


 Gruß,
 Achim
 
 PS: die eine Verbindung der zwei Straßen (26992250 und 44434461) hab ich
 hergestellt, die anderen noch nicht, falls jemand schauen möchte:

  der Heideweg ist nicht mit der B 300 verbunden, ebenso wenig die ST2020, Am 
 Anger hat eine Verbindung, die Frundsbergstraße und die Schulstraße nicht...

Diese Info liefert OSM nicht. Es gibt einen Punkt, da hört ein way auf und ein
anderer way fängt an, anders kann man eine Namensänderung eines Weges nicht
machen. Ob an diesem Punkt noch andere Wege queren/querab abgehen, ist
irrelevant. Einzig entscheidbar ist geradeaus (wie immer man das real
ausrechnet).


Geradeaus: Die Differenz der Richtungen des letzten und des nächsten 
Wegstückes unterschreiten einen definierten Wert (z.B. 20 Grad).

Außerdem sollte man darauf achten, dass der Straßentyp gleich bleibt.

Ausnahme: Auf breiten Straßen heißt geradeaus i.d.R. nicht 
schnurgeradeaus, sondern der Straße folgendend. Also z.B. Bleiben Sie auf 
der B6.
