[talk-ph] Quirino Bridge, Banaoang, Santa, Ilocos Sur

2011-02-21 Thread tutubi
Hi !

I again went to Vigan to stay for the night from Sta. Cruz last week, on my
way I tried to route and noticed
my Nuvi's directing me to use the old bridge, instead of the new one.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=17.55973lon=120.46364zoom=16

on my way back it's still the same. Any idea why?  guess it's because the
old bridge is linked to the highway, the new one
is a completely new way thus it's treated as a turn.

also, from Vigan, I saw DPWH billboards decalring the portion of the road
under repair as Manila North Road...the road's tagged as
Narvacan - Vigan...street signs say it's National Highway and yet the DPWH
billboard says Manila North Road.

Hoping for a Bing update for Vigan and Ilocos Sur so we can have more
complete road network there. Noticed also the missing Ilocos Sur- Abra Road
near Narvacan on the map.

2011-02-21 Thread Ed Garcia
I took a look at it and I noticed two things:

1.  That old way which is supposed to be a bridge is not tagged as bridge.
Maybe the routine algo regards a highway without a bridge as a faster route?

2.  The new bridge has a motorroad:no tag while the old highway has only got
the highway:trunk tag... maybe this has an effect on routing too?

Watchtowers can indeed be tagged as a ruin especially if its unused.
We can always update to better tags when they exist in the future.

Hi guys,

We have decided that we will be having a separate outdoor recreation
Garmin map for the hikers, mountaineers, mountain bikers, climbers,
scuba divers, etc. This map will have contour lines for selected
mountains as suggested. But unlike the main Garmin map, this will be
updated only once a month since outdoor-related map features aren't
edited/updated on the map as often as regular features like roads
and POIs. But for those who want the latest, we will try to provide
DIY tools so people can make their own custom Garmin maps. :-)

India had very low coverage, and even now many areas lack coverage.
whenever I go to a new area and try mapping it, I see lot of roads where
there are no roads, infact there cannot be roads.
Just some junk data imported.
Its such a big mess, and often I have to do bulk deletes in remove areas.
Infact sometimes I refrain, because I cannot tell the actual good data from
junk data due to poor quality of satellite imagery.
I would not advocate banning imports, but restricting them is a very good
idea.

Re: [OSM-talk] Zero tolerance on imports

2011-02-21 Thread Peter Wendorff

Hi.

Why we discuss the goodness or badness of imports here with the argument 
of a complete map?


Of course that argument is a good one - but if we look towards the 
future there will be a time - partly that's already in the present, 
where an area is mapped already with high detail by mappers not active 
any more.


A new mapper, I believe, will not distinct between a (relatively good) 
import and years of manpower of ground-survey-mapping done in the 
previous two decades etc.


We see a growing complexity in many tagging schemes, use of more and 
more sophisticated relations to model facts, and the discussion is only 
about ban imports.


I agree, that imports should not lead to automatic or semi-automatic 
deletion of mappers work.
I agree that imports have to be done carefully and with inclusion of the 
local community/s.


But I think, we need mechanism to generally cope with the problem of 
existing data.
We should put more effort in developing mechanisms to check, proofe and 
control existing data - not caring about import or simply old data.
And finally we should work on reduction of the fear to make things 
wrong, as I think, that fear is growing with growing complexity of 
existant data.


Banning import is a easy mantra to push out today as it avoids the 
bigger problem - but in future we will have the same problem with a bad 
connotation: in future the existent old mappers are human parts of the 
community, whose data probably has to be deleted whereas today we speak 
about technical data and single importers.
These importers are often people who want to discuss and work on their 
imports.

We should take this as a chance, not as an affront.

regards
Peter

Well we have no hard data, but evidence. Basically no users and 
editors in the US but loads in Europe. And loads of countries without 
imports flourishing as communities start to grow (like Slovakia, Czech 
Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark) but less involvement 
in countries with imports. A vast empty map is no fun, but neither is 
a complete map. The worst is a seemingly complete map, with crap data 
(like plan.at data in Austria, that was in general off by around 
20-100m).


Just show me some neighboring countries where the one with imports 
some time ago (minimum 1 year) are doing better than neighboring 
countries/regions where no imports took place.


I think imports are good for stuff we cannot easily record ourselves 
(like borders) - but no good for stuff we can get ourselves.
And if you see tracing from aerial imagery as a chore, you're making a 
mistake. I think we should wait till local people do it. That way it 
gets better quality and is not much work for anyone. We should not 
strive to be complete, but offer more or different data than 
commercial map providers, because that's where we are good at. 
Striving to get a map with best use for carnavigation will not happen 
- our structure and means are really inferior here. Getting speciality 
maps noone can compete with large communities.

Re: [OSM-talk] Zero tolerance on imports

2011-02-21 Thread NopMap

Hi!

There is a considerable difference between an import into a mostly empty
area - which is rather easy to achieve and mostly helpful - and an import
into an already basically mapped area, which is hard to integrate and where
existing data may be damaged. I believe that this should not happen,
existing survey results should always have precendence over arial imagery or
imported data. I believe that that a proper integration into existing data
is hard to achieve, therefore it should not be done by beginners and it
should be coordinated.

There appears to be a common misconception that arial imagery and imported
data is somehow better by default than the hand-drawn traces. Imports
should not duplicate existing data and should not overwrite it. Badly
executed imports can cripple the whole data in an area, replace current
information by obsolete data and badly tagged imports can mess up whole
tagging schemes by suddenly pushing the bad tagging as the majority use.

To make a long story short, I believe that imports should be restricted or
checked very tightly, except for first imports into a mostly empty area.

When it comes to motivation, I was very happy to find that my chief area of
interest was mostly empty, with just one major road and the motorway. This
appealed to my sense as an explorer who could make a visible difference to
the map. I happily spent a few weekends driving around and mapping all the
secondary roads. When it became available, I appreciated arial imagery as a
help to trace rivers and forests, which are hard to grasp otherwise, but
stopped using it for roads and paths as in later surveys I found that the
impression about the nature of the way derived from the picture was
frequently wrong. A year later the map was mostly complete and it got
boring. So I mapped the routes that I came along anyway, but I did no longer
feel like going out of my way to map a neighboring area - it was already
there, it was usable - why bother?

So, personally, I believe that drawing the first roads on an empty map is
much more fun and motivation than fixing mistakes in someone else's imported
data. If the actuality, accuracy and quality of data is less than excellent,
I would rather not import it at all. Motivated mappers can do better.

I consider myself fairly comfortable with the editing tools, but 
recently while attempting to enter data from survey obtained during 
travel, I was completely intimidated by the cluster of landuse + admin 
boundary + Communications infrastructure imports.   I believe other 
tools place these on separate layers to avoid information overload.


  Next time I travel to that region again, I won't bother to survey; 
it's too much hassle to try to enter information in the tangled jumble

  I agree with those who have experienced mixed results after importing 
land use data - think 3 times before bringing it into your area, if at 
all.   If you just want 'colored maps' for your region, it should be 
possible to combine these at render time.

I find this discussion very distasteful.

I really like OSM's goals: a complete map of the Earth with more-or-less
unlimited detail.  But I don't understand why people think that this
500+ GIGABYTE map should be managed using 19th-century methods,
i.e. manual labor.

Waze is a much newer project than OSM.  I don't really care for its data
model, because I think it's much too limited in the amount of detail
it's capable of capturing; OSM's model is much better IMO.  BUT, Waze
has captured traces of a much larger portion of the US than OSM has.
Waze has both average and real-time speed data, whereas OSM has no
provision for this whatsoever.

At some point, OSM will reach a size -- either size of database, or
number of users/contributors -- where it will become totally infeasible
to manage with the tools we have (or rather, the tools we don't have).

Those of you who think all automated or semi-automated data
contributions are harmful to OSM are dooming this project to never be
able to grow to become a leading source of mapping data.

Do you think that when MapQuest started using OSM data to generate their
maps, they performed all the necessary data transformations BY HAND?

Last year, as part of a school project, I built a robot that will
automatically create route relations for all the state highways in the
US, being careful not to change or duplicate existing data.  I haven't
shared it with the community because a handful of users were so
terrified of the prospect of automated edits, they insisted I do a
large-scale trial run on a local copy of the database, and I haven't had

I the issue, which Wikipedia also faces, is that automated edits have

A very small number of people in the community are against all
automated edits, but a majority of us are concerned that current
automated edits have been so problematic as to turn away users and
contributors.

What we're discussing is how to get good automated edits while still
allowing for 20th century methods of input, which include on the
ground surveying.

That's true. I think some of this data could have come in through

They didn't make many changes to OSM AFAICT. According to the talk

It is a common fallacy to believe that good map data could somehow,

If this were possible, then Google et al. would be 10 times as good at

The strength of OSM is the people on the ground. If you try to eliminate 
them from the equation you're left with an average quality, patchy map -

I have seen this effect also - there are nearby areas that I will never 
survey because they are too risky.   Even in a vehicle, I would not want 
to risk a breakdown.


  For the areas that are unfriendly to pedestrian and bicycle, I have 
used video from a vehicle.  The results are minimally helpful because of 
the time it takes to locate features on the aerial map.   I have just 
gotten a Contour Vidcam with a GPS - you can export the GPX trace with 
embedded video frame information.  The track loads in JOSM, and I would 
like to write a plugin to allow selection of frames from the track, as 
well as highlight the track location based on the video location.  I was 
going to take the simplest route however - the result might work only in 
Windows; I'm not sure there is a Java cross-platform media 
interface/control library.


  From a bit of experimentation, 2 of these vidcams would capture 
street signs on both sides of the street in a standard residential 
housing area in a single pass, or one vidcam mounted at an angle would 
require 2 passes.  Urban canyons would still have too many GPS echoes, 
and would not be quite as useful.

I''m working on this plugin. Unfortunatly there are still some issues so 
I would call it beta.


What works for me fine is a second PC with VLC videoplayback to avoid

risky areas sounds interesting. Might be a nice idea for the upcomming

First, your reasoning is specious.  Consider a shopping receipt: what's

Peter,

The point isn't whether or not your tool will create correct route relations
but what the point of doing that would be. I can understand creating route
relations for long distance cycling/hiking paths that people actually want
to navigate and historic routes (Route 66 comes to mind as a non-American)
but what is the point of creating a route relation for every highway?

No-one gets up in the morning and decides to navigate State Highway 483
from one end to the other and even if they did a decent routing engine could
create the route on the fly, so adding it to OSM is a waste of time and
would just add pointless complexity to the data-set.

you need the relation if there is more than one route using the same
street (because ref=23;42 is ugly). The relation might also be
convenient for mappers to download a longer and in great detail (split

 I find this discussion very distasteful.

 Peter,

 I'm sorry that you feel that way. Can you tell us what specifically
 you find distasteful? Is it the issue of automated edits or is there
 something else?

Let me try to elaborate as concisely as possible.

OSM right now has very little tools to support editing.  Compare this to
text processing, where we have diff, patch, CVS and Subversion, etc.
The tools can't handle every case, but they do the tedious work and help
support higher-level functionality.  Wikipedia extended this to support
crowd-sourced editing, and has support for, e.g. detecting a reverting
vandalism.

Right now OSM lacks tools like that.  When a user like Josh Doe has a
data source with hyper-accurate road centerlines, the only way to
integrate that into OSM is manually.  When someone else destroys some
existing data, either accidentally or maliciously, we have to post to
the newsgroups to get an admin to fix things manually.

There is a whole realm of tools and techniques to support computerized
mapping that are waiting to be developed.  No doubt other groups like
Google, Bing, and even MapQuest are already working on them.

I really don't understand how certain individuals propose to manage a
large database with many contributors WITHOUT the aid of tools to make
the humans' jobs easier.

 I really like OSM's goals: a complete map of the Earth with more-or-less
 unlimited detail.  But I don't understand why people think that this
 500+ GIGABYTE map should be managed using 19th-century methods,
 i.e. manual labor.

 I the issue, which Wikipedia also faces, is that automated edits have
 a history of being problematic for the project.

 A very small number of people in the community are against all
 automated edits, but a majority of us are concerned that current
 automated edits have been so problematic as to turn away users and
 contributors.

 What we're discussing is how to get good automated edits while still
 allowing for 20th century methods of input, which include on the
 ground surveying.

See above.  I generally agree with this goal.

 Waze is a much newer project than OSM.  I don't really care for its data
 model, because I think it's much too limited in the amount of detail
 it's capable of capturing; OSM's model is much better IMO.

 Waze is proprietary. Is that right?

My point, as below, was that Waze is another crowd-sourced map which has
much better tools and support for semi-automated editing than OSM does.
What difference does the license make?

 BUT, Waze has captured traces of a much larger portion of the US than
 OSM has.  Waze has both average and real-time speed data, whereas OSM
 has no provision for this whatsoever.

The typical approach has been technological mediation, as you're suggesting ... 
use satellite imagery or other technologies to safely get into such places. 
It 
works just ok in my opinion.

OSM has always been about inviting people to make the maps of their own 
neighborhoods themselves. They're going to have the most interest and best 
knowledge. They're going to be comfortable in areas you may not be. What it 
takes is reaching out beyond our normal networks, and finding interested and 
willing partners in new communities. This was our approach to mapping slums in 
Nairobi with Map Kibera. No way I was going to be mapping Kibera!

The same is true in the US. The Atlanta Mapathon organized by Thea Clay

Re: [OSM-talk] Zero tolerance on imports

2011-02-21 Thread Josh Doe
I believe imports can be great, but of course can be dangerous. Better
tools are needed, and maybe someday I'll have the skills and know-how
to help with them.

There's one thing that hasn't explicitly been mentioned. Some say we
don't want to import because it will demotivate people to start
contributing in that area. I can understand that, however, if we
_KNOW_ the data is good, and we're careful to maintain the
contributions already in existence, I'd much rather import the entire
road network for an area, and have interested contributors not just
FIX the data, but actually improve OSM by adding additional tags, map
nearby paths, add intersections, etc.

It is a terrible waste of human effort to reproduce verified
high-quality data that is available and properly licensed. Their time
is much better spent adding value to the map by improving the tags,
adding unmapped paths, etc. The big problem with imports now is the
lack of good tools, though I'm not complaining because I know they
take a lot of effort to design and create.

They've clearly not heard the posh woman inside my satnav then - she has

The UK road numbering rules are different from the US in that one road 
can be part of more than one route (in the UK if routes A1234 and A2345 
joined for a bit and then separated the joint bit would be labelled 
A1234 or A2345, but not both) so I guess that that's why you're keen to 
create lots of route relations.  The problem is, changes like these are 
not actually getting unmapped stuff mapped or capturing extra detail.



You haven't addressed the original problem, which is that there is a lot
of editing to be done, some of which is tedious and easily performed by

Actually, I'm really not convinced that there's a lot of EDITING to be 
done.  In some cases there is a bit of tidying (such as someone drew 
some roads that didn't quite join, whereas in the real world they do) 
but in most cases it's ADDING that's needed.  There might be a lot of 
editing needs doing where crap has been imported, but that's a different 
issue.


What there are are lots of blank spaces on the map.  For example, I 
spent Sunday afternoon here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.7692lon=-0.6682zoom=13layers=M

A couple of bits could count as editing but most of it was adding new 
stuff that (a) hadn't been added to OSM before and (b) isn't actually 
freely accessible anywhere else (or isn't recorded anywhere at all), and 
that you can only find out by Actually Going There.  Unfortunately 
there's no Big Goverment Dataset that says that there's a stile here, or 
that Path X is blocked by a barbed wire fence, or that you have to climb 
over a wall to get to Y.

2011-02-21 Thread Kevin Peat
Peter,

I have nothing against automated edits in general as long as they are
useful, are tested properly and don't overwrite other people's efforts
without agreement. As I mentioned earlier in this thread I think the
difficulty in contacting contributors in an area makes that hard to do.

I am not interested in contributing to Waze but I have skimmed their forums
out of curiosity and they don't seem to have any answers to these problems
as far as I can see. They may have traction in the US but the Waze map of
the UK looks like it was drawn by a five year-old.

In the case of Josh Doe's centreline data if he can't do it himself he
should try to team up with someone who can produce a tool to compare the
highway geometries in the two data-sets and take it from there. Maybe you
could give him a hand with that or know someone who might help?

 This thread certainly has something to do with advanced version
 control for geographic data. That said, a discussion that happened a
 few months ago here
 (http://www.mail-archive.com/talk@openstreetmap.org/msg33788.html) did
 not conclude positively about branching and merging being capable of
 solving the import management conundrum.

That's good to hear (I admit to not being on the lists much the last few
months).

I'm not surprised that people couldn't get behind a branch-merge system;
it works well enough for source code and text, usually, but that doesn't
mean it's perfect for an entirely different type of data.

All that says to me, is that OSM should look at OTHER techniques for
handling data.

For instance, how might one merge three sets of data... let's say, TIGER
has good coverage but bad alignment and bad name tags, another data set
may have good centerlines but no tags, and a third may have good name
tags but poor coverage.  Surely there is a way to integrate all of these
(and merge them with existing OSM data) other than to just open it all
in JOSM and do it by hand?

OSM has always been about inviting people to make the maps of their own

knowledge. They're going to be comfortable in areas you may not be. What it 
takes is reaching out beyond our normal networks, and finding interested and

Nairobi with Map Kibera. No way I was going to be mapping Kibera!

makes suburbia harder to map than older, gridded areas. I've mapped in both. I 
live in a suburban setting (because it's close to where I work), but I much 
prefer to map in areas that are safer to walk around in.

I've also managed imports of bus stops into several cities where almost none 
had been mapped (after trying to contact everyone who had mapped any of them). 
So I think technological mediation has value. But there are lots of things that 
don't show up on imagery or in public-domain files, and things that don't, such 
as stores, bicycle parking, and speed limits, contribute to quality of life. So 
my concern was about walkability and suburbia, not about crime.

 Let me try to elaborate as concisely as possible.
 
 OSM right now has very little tools to support editing.

Without imports, data creation is performed by the same community, and
with the same tools, as the editing and maintenance that follow data
creation. It is therefore likely that the speed and direction of the
database's development will correspond to community growth and tool
improvements, and will never be overwhelming.

With imports, this isn't guaranteed. It is unfortunately very easy to
move too fast or in the wrong direction with imports, because you are
not using the same tools that you will have to use when you want to
improve the data with local knowledge, or update it when reality changes.

Manual edits are the most important class of contributions to OSM. But
manual edits are performed with a different set of tools than imports,
and by different people. So we need to make sure that our imports do not
create data that cannot (due to amount or complexity) be handled easily
by existing local communities with the available tools for manual editing.

The best way to achieve this, IMO, is to only execute mass edits and
imports in collaboration with a local community. This makes sure that
there is a sufficiently developed community of mappers on the ground,
allows them to evaluate the data's quality beforehand, and makes it
likely that the data will be well integrated into the OSM database soon
after the import.

That's hardly the only problem with it.  There are lots of roads that
are single-carriageway when they should be dual-carriageway, or vice
verse.  Not all dual-carriageway ways are marked oneway=yes.  And yes,
TIGER doesn't always have the route on the correct roads (although I
would argue it's probably a minority of the cases).

The thing is, whether the work is done by humans or robots, how are you
going to know if it's right?  There are a couple tools for it, and
personally I would consider it easier to have the robot do all the
roads, then I compare them to the documents you linked and correct the
ones that are wrong.  If it's correct, it would probably be a lot less
effort to verify that than to create the route relation in the first
place.

But anyway... how do you know if the data is right?  OSM doesn't have
many tools for assisting humans in much of anything, whether it's
creating new data, or augmenting data with new data sources or with
information gleaned from examining metadata, or verifying data to make
sure it's actually accurate.

If automated edits are problematic, it's not because the robot
apocalypse is coming.  It's because automated edits are hacked together
due to a lack of tools and support in OSM for doing anything other than
manual editing.  This isn't a problem with automated edits; it's a

The potential negative effects of manual edits by a foreign mapper are

a) ... a visitor will use similar tools as future local mappers. Imports
are, in many ways, different from manual mapping.

b) ... the amount of data that a human will collect during the short

 Peter, you've done an excellent job of identifying problems with OSM.

I would be naive to think that I have all the answers, or even some of
them.  It's a lot easier to point out problems than to solve them.
However, you were kind enough to ask, so let me try to do some
brainstorming:

One big issue is that there's no way to combine two disparate sets of
data any way but manually.  Suppose TIGER 2015 data comes out and has
centimeter-accurate centerlines, but still has all the typos and other
nasty things that come with TIGER data.  It would be great to use the
centerlines but keep OSM's edited data for everything else.  Or suppose
I somehow get a database of every McDonald's location in the world,
complete with addresses, phone numbers, etc.

Rather than asking editors to pore over the whole map manually, it would
be better if there were some kind of merge toolkit that can select
portions of multiple data sets and combine them intelligently,
automating the process when there are no conflicts (like a CVS merge).
Of course the process needs to be guided by humans, but they shouldn't
have to select or trace every single road.

Here's another issue that ought to be much easier to solve, but hasn't
been: the relation analyzer.
http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyze.jsp?relationId=36947
That particular relation follows the correct practice of using
role=(blank)/forward/backward, but even this isn't recognized by the
analyzer.  What it ought to show is just two chunks: from point A to B,
and from point B to A.  With the current display, how is one supposed to
figure out if relation is completed or not?

What about GPS tracks... how does one deal with those?  The only
interface I know is to click on GPS Traces from the slippy map, but
that just gives me a list, and shows every trace in the whole world.  I
only want to see traces for the region I'm looking at, like show me
every GPS track within 100m of this highway.

I see there's a wiki page on change monitoring, but it doesn't look like
there's anything very sophisticated.  Perusing the history when there
are so many edits that are -180 to 180 is a big turn-off.  If mappers
are supposed to watch their hometown for changes, shouldn't they be
given tools to do that with?


Like I said, this is just brainstorming.  I'm sure other users also have
ideas for tools that would make the editing process a lot less tedious,
without even touching on the topic of automated edits.  Tools like these
can benefit everyone (unlike a discussion on how to tag lumber yards or
hotdog carts or whatever the question du jour is).

I live in a place where 90% of the data is imported.  Imports are bad.  It's
bad because I discover errors and start to think 'How many more errors must
there be?'.  It's mainly bad for two reasons.  Firstly, the data is old, and
there has been a significant road-building program going on here for a while.
Secondly, things don't join up because the import processing didn't process
road junctions properly, so routing doesn't work (until mappers go around and
join them up).

IMHO imports should exist as 'ghost objects' or 'pencil lines'.  They should
never render on Mapnik etc. and never be used for routing, but a mapper with
local knowledge should be able to verify the objects and change them to a
real object (i.e. 'ink them in').

Of course, if we had one million mappers here they could all take a quick look
at their local area and fix the mistakes in a couple of days...

[OSM-talk] Tools for a better tomorrow

2011-02-21 Thread Serge Wroclawski
I think there's been a useful discussion in the other thread for ideas
which might help the project move forward, and so I'm going to lay
them out and hopefully we'll have a more focused discussion.

Idea 1: Better collaboration, especially regarding changes people make.

This is something that several people expressed as an issue. They want
to be able to discuss changesets better, and be able to refer to
changesets in changesets.

I have some ideas on communication which I hope to announce in a few
weeks. As for changes in changeset, I think that could be solved with
a new changeset tag refers_to or child_of, and the value would be
the original changeset.


Idea 2: An Import Layer

The idea didn't come up this way, but one of the topics of discussion
at a recent Wikipedia event I attended was the importance of Wikipedia
Commons. Where Wikipedia is a secondary source, Wikipedia Commons
allows users to upload primary sources for access.

In the OSM context, the idea was for us to have an upload function
like we do for GPX, but that would support import data, such as
shapefile, KML, etc.

This data could be used by users working on data.

Idea 3: Better import testing

If people are interested, I talked about this idea a while back, of a
testing framework for imports and bots.

This can include maps, but also (I think) should include seeing some
sort of changeset of proposed changes, and allow users to comment on
the process and output, before it hits the main database.

Idea 4: Better comparison tools.

A common concern by those wanting to do imports is we lack good
comparison tools.


Are there other things folks think we need or could be doing better?

I think you have to accept that many imports come through JOSM, the
incident that initiated this thread wasn't an import problem as such just an
incorrect selection and hitting the delete key too quickly in JOSM.

Given the turn over of new people collaboration will always be a problem
especially as many people map from aerial or satellite images.  Not every
one is interested in spending time over a beer or coffee before going out
mapping.

There is a problem with some older data in regard to incorrect street
names.  I found more than a hundred in my local city.  Unfortunately they
are difficult to confirm unless you are on the ground and damage the
credibility of OSM.  Moving to OdBL may get rid of some of the older work
which maybe more prone to this sort of error.

There is a great danger that OSM organisation as it is today will become an
interesting piece of history.  In the computer world things move very
quickly and yesterday's darling is irrelevant today.  A map based on
importing the road network that includes correct street names and addresses
using OSM tools with added POIs based on street addresses if they find the
right imports would tend to be favored by many map users.

We need better tools for validating tags.  Give something the wrong tag and
it doesn't ever appear in a render.

and checked data, so often you can't even easily delete the wrong data 
again without doing harm.


The most important reason why we need actual people to do work on the 
data is because they can check the quality by e.g. going there 
themselves, looking at multiple satellite images, etc. - of course 
including one of the most important items where OSM wins against a lot 
of other map material: local knowledge of the editors.

Hi Martin,

as you might know, the German division has a nice map of all local groups at
www.openstreetmap.de.
Inspired by this one, I created an international version and a simple bot
collecting all together.

So if you put this on the page of your local meeting wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:User_group
then you will appear after while here:
http://ikaria.informatik.uni-rostock.de/mm337/osm/usergroups/


Now it's on us to present others our local meetups. I would be glad, if you
would notify your local mailinglists :)

[Talk-de] Ungemappte Straßen und Wasser im Vergleich zu Google

2011-02-21 Thread Stephan Knauss

Hallo,

ich habe etwas gespielt. Herausgekommen ist ein Web-Mashup mit dem sich 
die Abdeckung von OSM visuell gegen Google vergleichen lässt.


Das kann zur Routenplanung dienen um die richtige Straße mit dem GPS 
zu fahren oder auch als Hinweis für Sesselmapper wo noch von den 
Luftbildern abgezeichnet werden kann.


Beim Abzeichnen von Luftbildern unbedingt darauf achten, dass diese 
gegen GPS-Spuren abgeglichen werden, die Bilder haben oft einen Versatz.


Falls ein RemoteControl fähiger Editor läuft wird ein Button angezeigt 
mit dem der sichtbare Ausschnitt direkt geöffnet werden kann. Die 
Grenzen der Bing Luftbilder können zusätzlich eingeblendet werden.


Mehr als Z10 herauszoomen hatte ich nicht vorgesehen, lässt sich aber im 
aktuellen stable OpenLayers nicht einstellen. Zu weit hineinzoomen macht 
meist auch keinen Sinn, da die Straßen doch leicht unterschiedlich liegen.


Schaut es euch einfach mal an:

http://compare.osm-tools.org/


Viel Spaß beim Mappen,

Stephan

Jetzt reden wir natuerlich vom Rendering und nicht mehr von den Daten in

festliegt ist doch eher was fuer eine Strassenkarte in kleinem Masstab

Jein, wie wir mit verschiedenen Trassen-Varianten umgehen ist ja schon 
eine gute Frage. Es macht für OSM z.B. wohl keinen Sinn, mehrere 
mögliche Trassen einzutragen die sich nur im Detail unterscheiden.


Eine Möglichkeit wäre nur die offizielle Variante (wenn es denn sowas 
gibt) oder nur wesentliche Alternativen (z.B. eine am Berg, eine im Tal) 
bei OSM einzutragen und dann zusätzlich die Anzahl der bekannten 
Varianten als Tag einzutragen.


Natürlich muß sich der Renderer dann überlegen, laut welchen Kriterien 
er sowas darstellen will (oder halt eben auch nicht). Momentan haben wir 
aber einfach zu wenig etablierte (Tag-)Details als das der Renderer 
das überhaupt sinnvoll unterscheiden kann.

2011-02-21 Thread Andreas Labres
Hallo!

IMO gehören Straßenplanungen, die noch unsicher sind, nicht in OSM. Und die
Tatsache, daß Varianten zur Diskussion stehen oder überhaupt, daß es Diskussion
gibt, implizieren dieses noch unsicher.

Wenn es eine politische Entscheidung gibt, die Finanzierung geklärt ist und
vielleicht schon mit den Bauvorbereitungen begonnen wurde, dann von mir aus.

Aber so Planspiele wie Trassenvarianten kann man bequem als Layer auf OSM
machen, dazu braucht's keine Nodes in der OSM-DB.

Hm, wenn ich mir so Köln oder Bonn anschaue, dann scheint diese Visualisierung 
nicht so zu funktionieren.

Beispiel Köln: 

http://compare.osm-tools.org/?zoom=12lat=50.93938lon=6.99207layers=BTF

Nach der Visualisierung existieren zum Beispiel weder die Kölner Ringe in der 
OSM-Karte noch diverse Rheinbrücken oder Autobahnen. Auch der Rhein sollte in 
den OSM-Daten nicht vorhanden sein. Natürlich sind dies alles Elemente, die es 
schon lange in der OSM-Datenbank gibt.

Trotzdem: Eine schöne Idee! Vielleicht lassen sich ja noch Bugs entfernen.

Weil heute nichts mehr geplant werden kann ohne das sich eine BI bildet.
Strom will jeder haben aber ein Windrad, ein Kohlekraftwerk, ein

 Hallo

 In OSM begegnet man immer wieder verschiedenen, sich kreuzenden Wegen
 mit gemeinsamen Knotenpunkten. Nach einer genaueren Ausrichtung der
 Straßen anhand GPS und der Bing Luftbilder verlaufen manche Straßen nur
 mehr nebeneinander und kreuzen sich eigentlich nicht.

 Kann man in JOSM einen gemeinsamen Knotenpunkt mehrerer Wege nur für
 einen bestimmten Weg löschen? Also einen Weg von dem gemeinsamen
 Knotenpunkt ausschließen.
 
 
 ja, dazu erst den Knoten und den entspr. Way selektieren (letzteres
 ist wichtig, weil sonst der komplette Knoten aufgelöst wird), dann mit

Klar kann man; war vor Javascript durchaus üblich in sehr frühen

Gibt dann eben am Rand der statischen Karte Flächen, um zu scrollen

Ja, tut mir echt leid, dass es deswegen Verwirrung gab. Ich habe das mal 
direkt in der Karte in der Infobox mit dazugeschrieben, dass es nur für 
SEA funktioniert.


Der Server hat nur begrenzt Rechenkapazität. Falls die Idee ankommt und 
so eine Karte nützlich ist lässt sich das bestimmt auch auf den 
Toolserver bringen.


Für Europe wo quasi schon jede kleine Straße drin ist bringt die Karte 
in meinen Augen nicht so viel. Und wenn man dicht ranzoomt stören die 
kleinen Lageabweichungen beim Übermalen der Google-Daten.


Aber für SEA, wo teilweise die großen Verbindungsstraßen fehlen fand ich 
das super. Ich denke wenn OSM mal eine gewisse Grundabdeckung hat wird 
es zum Selbstläufer. Momentan ist der normale Nutzer dort meist mit 
Google Daten oder Google Navigation besser dran.
In Thailand gibt es vereinzelt Gebiete die in OSM deutlich besser sind, 
aber das ist eher die Ausnahme.


Ich hoffe, dass der ein oder andere Luftbildmapper jetzt vielleicht die 
Verbindungsstraßen einmalt.


Sollte ich den Rest der Welt ohne Abdeckung ausgrauen?

Habe es jetzt mit kleinerer Schrift dazugeschrieben. Denke das ist immer

Ich verhindere jetzt, dass aus dem Bereich herausgescrollt wird. 
Zusammen mit dem Hinweis sollte das jetzt hoffentlich verständlich sein.


Ich habe auch noch die Darstellung auf niedrigere Zoomlevel erweitert. 
Bis Zoom 7 kann man jetzt rauszoomen.
Dabei sieht man gut, dass z.B. Thailand im Vergleich zu Vietnam gut 
gemapped ist, aber trotzdem noch an manchen Stellen kurze Straßenstücke 
fehlen. Leider oft an den Stellen an denen es nur Landsat Abdeckung gibt.

Aber auch dort lassen sich große Straßen oft problemlos erkennen.
Und vielleicht fährt ja auch jemand in Urlaub und nimmt seinen 
Datenlogger mit.


Ich bin ganz zuversichtlich, dass sich die Lücken bald schließen.

Mapnik2 hat eine Expression Engine, damit wird das vermutlich gehen. 
Aber ehrlich gesagt gehe ich davon aus, dass sich der Nutzen in engen 
Grenzen haelt. Einerseits ist es schoen, wenn wir die Realitaet in 
unseren Daten moeglichst genau wiedergeben koennen. Andererseits darf 
man nicht dem Trugschluss verfallen, eine Karte wuerde um so besser, je

Mal: http://i.imgur.com/s6laB.png

En el segundo ejemplo, donde se unen las vías de sentido único con la de
doble sentido hay una restricción de giro no_u_turn pero creo que el
enrutador se hace un lío e ignora la restricción porque esas mismas vías
pertenecen a otra relación no_u_turn en la parte superior.

Yournavigation http://www.yournavigation.org

Lo hace mal http://i.imgur.com/jzR3v.png

No sólo porque ignora una relación de seguir de frente (aunque creo que
está mal definida, JOSM suelta errores), sino que salta de una vía a
otra que están físicamente separadas por cebreado.

OpenRouteService http://openrouteservice.org

También lo hace mal http://i.imgur.com/pP1PG.png

Al estilo de YourNavigation pero a la ruta le sale un pico que no entiendo.

Qué opináis vosotros?

Buenas colisteros.

SPAM, puro y duro.

Nada que me han spoofiteao la cuenta de correo, me han suplantado la
identidad, me han debido fichar la contraseña y ala a mandar SPAM, tanto que
me han bloqueado la cuenta directamente los de google, como vereis ya la he
recuperao, pero me han borrao todo lo que tenia en la nube de google. Bueno
espero que no se repita, ahora ya entro por protocolo seguro, he cambiado la
contraseña, estoy actualizando el sistema operativo y pasando un antivirus.
Creo yo que me la han podido fichar a lo mejor por utilizar el movil para
leer el correo, o que tenga una aplicacion cabrona que tiene acceso a esas
contraseñas. El mu cabron que me ha fichao la cuenta es Argentino y los
ataques han venido desde aqui,

Móvil  Argentina (190.245.160.68)  20 feb (hace 1 día)   Navegador
Argentina (186.61.10.184)

Naa se me hacia raro a mi que pudieran acceder virus a las cuentas de
google, y mi ordenador esta limpio, asi que seguro que  me han fichado la
contraseña por utilizar el ordenador de un amigo que tenia m´´as virus que
kbytes en su disco duro.

Siento mucho los incovenientes que os ha podido ocasionar.

Un saludo.

OK. Si hay algún problema para borrar, coméntamelo, y paso nota al Data 
Working Group de la OSMF para que echen un vistazo.

Y a ver si surge la oportunidad de hablar con Catastro de nuevo...

Re: [Talk-ca] Coastline vs. water

2011-02-21 Thread Adam Dunn
I'm not seeing any problems. Bounding box or way id or screenshots would help.

Copied from [1]:
At low zoom levels, up to and including zoom level 9, Mapnik renders
all the sea as a solid fill of blue, generated from the shapefile
shoreline_300 (used for z0-9), which has a relatively low resolution.
At high zoom levels the coast polygons used are generated from the
natural=coastline tag -- the data is made available to the Mapnik
renderer as a large shapefile (processed_p) which is generated every
few weeks from planet dumps (note: if you edit coastline at high
zooms, be patient for it to render).

So you are only affecting the high zoom levels, if I understand
correctly. You'll need to make sure the coastline ways create a closed
loop of ways, of course.

 Hi

 I changed the tagging on the lower part of Lake Winnipeg from water to
 coastline so it would show up on lower zoom levels. But now the area I
 changed has disappeared from higher zoom levels. I know coastline tagged way
 only update ever few weeks, but I thought it only affected lower levels. I
 am incorrect?

Re: [Talk-ca] Proposal: Cleanup of NHN ways in BC

 Existing tagging:
 Currently there are two types of tagging for waterways that were imported.
 The first of these is that for smaller waterways
 accuracy:meters=10
 attribution=Natural Resources Canada
 oneway=yes
 source=GeobaseNHN_Import_2009
 waterway=stream
 waterway:type=observed

It seems to me that oneway is not appropriate.  It indicates a legal
restriction on traffic and AFAIK there is no Canada wide restriction
that all traffic on all waterways must be in the direction of the flow,
which this tagging would imply.
