[OSM-talk] Positioning issue with Open Mapquest
Hello, I searching points by coordinates in various online map providers and notices that OpenMapquest is off. For example if I look for 42.7326,-84.556991 Bing, Google, Mapquest and openstreetmap.org will find the intersection of W Allegan and S Walnut in Lansing, MI ( http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=42.7326,-84.556991&sll=42.7326,-84.556991&ll=42.7326,-84.556991&z=16). OpenMap Quest will find a different point slightly south of there ( http://open.mapquest.com/link/2-iAK61Lu1 ). Why would this happen?

If the queue is full at that time, it's in fact not added - and not added later, too. An empty queue at night does not help if there is no call to add your tile to the queue. regards Peter Peter, Thanks for the explanations.

Re: [OSM-talk] Some tiles not rendering?
Also from the graph it looks like the queue when almost empty during the past 24 hours so why would the tile not be rendered in that case? Really? The queue has been full 18 hours a day or more for the past two weeks. Bob Sorry I was not clear "The queue went almost empty (for some time) during the past 24 hours" would have been more correct. That still leaves 6 hours where the queue is close to empty as seen on the graph for today between 0:00 and 6:00 approximately.

On 3/14/2011 2:27 PM, Gilles Bassière wrote: Hi, I'd like to get advice about toponymy in the context of hiking paths. When hiking, I often encounter short technical passages which have a name painted on the rock. In French, the name almost always begin with "Pas de ..." but I'm not sure if there is a good translation for "pas" in English [1]. Such portions of the path often consist in passing a small cliff or an exposed ridge, they may be equipped with chains or cables. I think it is good to have these passages in OSM because they can be considered as a mark or a step along the hiking route. My problem is that I can't find a proper tagging scheme. I could put the name on the path segment [2] but that would often conflict with the name of the path (if any) [3]. Also, it doesn't convey the idea of a step along the path. Another solution is to use the place=locality [4] but that would mean that a named place exists with a path going though. Here, I think the name is for the technical passage (part of the path), not the place. There would be no name if there were no path. Moreover, such a place name is mostly relevant to hikers whereas place=locality is not specific. Eventually, I used a custom tag for my latest edit: hiking=passage [5] but I'm not sure this can make sense for other mappers and I'm looking for feedback on this.

Lately I was in an area where someone imported a set of data on top of existing data w/o taking the time to remove duplicates. Although the imported data was of better quality than the existing one, this import of better quality data worsened the overall quality in that area.

[OSM-talk] Duplicate nodes in the US
Hello, On a regular basis I have to write to some contributors that use automatic methods to merge nodes in the US so I though I would copy my message here so everyone is aware: Please do not run automatic merge tools in the US. Doing this you will connect entities that should not (e.g. river with road). This is due to the source of the imports that have duplicate nodes for different type of entities. If you want to fix duplicates in the US you need to review your changes one by one. Also to avoid such mistakes you can use the JOSM validator plugin that sorts duplicates by type of ways i.e. highway duplicates, boundary duplicates, waterway duplicates, powerline duplicates, Thanks in advance, N. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The thing is unfortunately the validator gives a lot of false positives (at least here in the US) and if you blindly merge all nodes you end up stiching together a bridge and the road/river/train track going underneath to name a few. This is due to the way the data imports coming from TIGER use nodes at the same position for a lot of different things.

[OSM-talk] Getting boundaries from XAPI
Hello, I was trying to get boundaries (i.e. nodes, ways and relations making the county and cities limits) for my county from XAPI but cannot get exactly what I want. If I try /api/0.6/way[bbox=-83.702,42.413,-83.069,42.905][boundary=*], I get every node and way fine, but the relations just come up empty. Also loadin this file in JOSM and updating the data does not get the members in the relations. If I try /api/0.6/relation[bbox=-83.702,42.413,-83.069,42.905][boundary=*] I get a huge file with data completely outside the zone I requested (like nodes in Europe!) Any help on how to get the data I want would be appreciated. Thanks, N. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I tried to download various versions but it always fails after a few 100k of download. Thanks, N. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] osm2pgsql usage
Hello, I asked that question on the mapnik mailing list but was told that the OSM mailing list would have more knowledgeable people on this issue: I was in the process of setting up Mapnik and as a start I was using an OSM file from around my area to test with "small" data. I get stuck with an error message in osm2pgsql: osm2pgsql SVN version 0.67-18179 Using projection SRS 900913 (Spherical Mercator) Setting up table: planet_osm_point Setting up table: planet_osm_line Setting up table: planet_osm_polygon Setting up table: planet_osm_roads Mid: Ram, scale=100 Reading in file: ../maps/Detroit_091010.osm Processing: Node(434k) Way(50k) Relation(0k)osm2pgsql: osm2pgsql.c:262: StartElement: Assertion `xrole' failed. I searched the web a bit but did not find much, except from some memories issues. I monitored the memory during the process and had at least 1Gb free, so I guess this is not the issue. The data file comes from XAPI ( http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-83.56,42.17,-83.01,42.71) and works fine for other purposes like generating a map for my GPS using mkgmap. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, N. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] XAPI down?
Hello, Is XAPI working? When I try http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-83.56,42.17,-83.5599,42.1701, I get redirected to http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-83.56,42.17,-83.5599,42.1701which turns to be an empty page.
