I'd say the validators are right, because a node that is neither part of a way, nor part of a relation, and has no tags is simply useless: we have no idea why it sits there. If you put a note as a reminder of something, then you should at least put a note tag on it. Maybe most of those empty nodes are remnants from some time ago, when some editors would delete a way, but not the nodes it contained (I think there used to be such a bug, even before I started contributing to OSM). -- Renaud Michel ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It is wrong if you don't know if there is actually something to fix. If you know there is some road somewhere in an empty region, you can add fixme's, you can even put the road name in the fixme if you know it.

I agree. I am a recent (4 months) contributor to OSM and I sometimes find it annoying to have multiple, sometimes incompatible, tagging used for the same purpose.

Hello I didn't find an answer in the wiki, how should I tag roads that are one way for motorized vehicles but two way for bicycle? For now those are only tagged oneway=yes, so a routing software for cycleway will think it can only go oneway.

[OSM-talk] copyright problem with data copied from a map
Hello Two weeks ago, I found problem in Dison, Belgium, see here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.6044&lon=5.8522&zoom=14 At that moment, the motorway had been shifted north-west by user Neo while adding other roads. I moved it back to correspond to GPS traces and messaged Neo about the problem. He did some more edits, see http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Neo/edits and that's when I realised that he was actually copying an actual map. He actually put the bounding box of his map http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/38566375 He confirmed a week later that he was really copying a map he scanned and loaded in JOSM (not rectifying it, so the shifted roads). He was obviously not aware of the copyright problem as he asked me, in the same message, if he could somehow copy the map from his tomtom. I replied one week ago explaining why he must not do that and asking him to remove all the edits he made based on that map, but had no more answer so far. So now I'm thinking about removing those edits myself, but am not sure what's the best way to do so. I don't know if the changeset can be reverted, as there are many of them, and I also did some edits there (changeset #1997354 #2005715 #2046924 a least) before knowing of the copyright problem. Any advice? I think I'm going to remove all this "by hand" with JOSM. But the ways will still be present in the DB with the history.

How about simply creating a relation with those two nodes? You have an intersection of two (or more) roads and when you come to that intersection from one particular road (in one particular direction) you have a stop. Then you add a node on that way before the intersection, then create a relation (let's say of type=stop, or any more self-explanatory value) where you have the stop node with role "stop_from" and the intersection with role "stop_at". Such a scheme can be easily interpreted as: when you pass over a node highway=stop that is a member of a relation type=stop with role stop_from, then you must stop at the node of that relation that has the role stop_to. You might eventually add the way to the relation to avoid ambiguity in complex case, the way would have a role like "stop_along" and be interpreted to stop at the stop_at node only if travelling along that way.

There is a program (igotu2gpx) to extract the logs for linux and macos https://launchpad.net/igotu2gpx/ version 0.3.0 is outdated, you should take the source from the trunk https://code.launchpad.net/~igotu2gpx/igotu2gpx/trunk and if you want to clear the memory from a GT-200e or GT-600 you should take the branch (or apply its changes to the trunk, it has not been integrated yet) https://code.launchpad.net/~charles-fleche/igotu2gpx/gt600 The program is based on qt4 (even the command line tool), and the gui has an optional plugin to display the tracks over an OSM map using marble. -- Renaud Michel ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

You may open GPX files in JOSM before you upload them. -- Renaud Michel pgp: 0x630E6AC4 (fingerprint: E051 75D0 0E02 4D7B 0384 5D8F 2A70 C289 630E 6AC4) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
