Re: [OSM-talk] Marketshare
We will not be able to rival Google any time soon when it comes to their integration with the search platform. That said: 1) Better data in more places. 2) Great apps that offer a real alternative to Google Maps in terms of user experience. 3) There is no step three. Or maybe there is. Add your favorite ingredient.

Re: [OSM-talk] Marketshare
Outreach! We have to follow the actuality and contact medias and show how dynamic is the tandem Open Source APIs, OSM Open Data. The best would be to have a media kit with infos about both OSM map, Free database, collaborators, routing API like http://map.project-osrm.org/, the many API's for phones, the possibility to contribute by phone, APPs for Android. http://www.outdoormaps.org/?p=194 Pierre > > De : Johan C >À : talk@openstreetmap.org >Envoyé le : Mardi 18 décembre 2012 13h08 >Objet : [OSM-talk] Marketshare in 48 Hours> > > > >http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/12/17/iphone-google-maps-hits-10-million-downloads-in-48-hours/ > >If they can, an open project as OSM should also be able to attract milllions >of users.

Re: [OSM-talk] Problem in getting high resolution details on some maps
On 17/12/2012 03:43, Andre von Biel wrote: Hi All , I am a newcomer to "talk" so please forgive any procedural errors. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and my wife and I take frequent holiday trips to the Polynesian Islands and Australia. I use Garmin etex VISTA HCx and try to get OSM maps to wherever we plan to go. Much to my joy I discovered that at: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl I should be able to get all the map segments I need for a grand and glorious South Pacific Map. The above statement is almost correct: 1. All maps East of the International date line are OK in all respects 2. As soon as I cross the dateline to the West the maps appear to be OK at large area resolution, but ALL detail (including the map) disappear at distance resolution of about 50 Km and smaller. 3. The above problem appears to be confined to a vertical strip of western longitudes, starting at the date line and reaching as far west as north-east New Zealand, the Fijian Islands, etc. Although I can not be 100% positive about this, the South Island of New Zealand is OK, as is the western portion of the North Island, i.e., west of Lake Taupo. Further tests have shown that Tasmania and eastern Australia are OK. The problem stated above exists whether I have my map assembled by the e OSM people or if I download individual *.img Maps Can anybody through some light on this problem? It has been discussed on the forum before. There does seem to be a problem with those Garmin maps at around 180 degrees, so it affects New Zealand and other places. See these threads: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=9809 http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=166179#p166179 I don't know if anyone has figured out what's causing this, or how to fix it. You could try some other OSM based maps, or try producing some maps yourself.

Re: [OSM-talk] Problem in getting high resolution details on some maps
Hi Andreas, Is there detailed map data on OSM.org where you aren't getting it? If not, then that's because this is a volunteer project and we need people to make it better. Feel free to get involved and contribute. Do the missing areas correspond to the areas marked on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ ? If it can't load the OSM map or one for the area doesn't exist, then the GPS will display the built-in map (which tends to be just towns as points & imprecise motorways). My stab-in-the-dark suggestion is that the file got corrupted either during download onto your computer or transfer to the GPS. If you take note of the file size, remove it from your computer and GPS. Look at the GPS(you could do this with the SD card removed), is the map showing the same poor quality as before?(if yes then it wasn't showing OSM data). Download the file again(you'll probably have to request it again), and transfer it to your GPS. If the filesize is bigger this time, then you didn't have the full file last time(i.e. it was corrupt). -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
