I've done that now.

An archive of the last data (overview images and shape files) is here in 
case anyone wants to use it for anything:

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Combining Creative Commons Licensed Data with ODbL and Redistributing

I don't believe that would apply to a derivative work, I think that
just applies to the work itself.

I'm interested to hear other interpretations though.

Re: [OSM-talk] Recommendations for OSM mobile app?

2012-11-28 Thread Steve Bennett
Hi Jo,
  Yeah, OsmAnd does everything - but it's pretty complicated. Switching
between offline and online maps (a pretty basic task) is really hard (and
very hard to remember). To go to online maps you seem to have to:
1) Menu | Settings | Offline data (Download)
2) Expand "Offline maps (vector)
3) Hold down on each offline map until 'deactivate' appears, which you
choose.
4) Back out to Settings, select "Online maps"
5) Select "Online and tile maps"

To then choose which one actually shows:
6) Menu | Define view | Map source...
7) Pick one

Hmm...written out it doesn't sound that bad, but it took quite a lot of
fumbling around to get that far. (I guess the problem is the OsmAnd authors
think of vector and tile maps as completely different functions,
implemented completely differently, but for the user, they're just two
variations on a theme.)

Re: [OSM-talk] Packaged OSM Tile Sets by US County or State?

I'm the leader of this project - and Yes, it's unfortunately not
maintained anymore.

The project evolved over more than 4 student teams ! Then it became
difficult to get funding.

In fact, it's a complex task behind which is not covered by any tool I
know given following challenges:
* turn multipolygons (i.e. ways and relations) to 'real' polygons
(according to OGC standard)
* to map OSM schema to a real GIS schema
* to incrementally update the data into a regional extract

It still works, though! And the SLD files for the GeoServer with the
"Swiss topographic map style" are still useful for further
experimentation.

Yours, Stefan
