To geotag a image against any place without any GPX file info: 1. Ensure you have a map layer and move to roughly the area one is interested in. 2. File->Open -> select JPG(s) file. This should create waypoint(s) in the centre of the screen. 3. Select the waypoint and press shift+mouse drag the waypoint to location you want [or right click for waypoint properties and manually set the specific lat/lon coordinates. 4. Select the waypoint and right click and select 'Update Geotag on Image-->Update' Disclaimer: I'm the lead maintainer for Viking HTH.

I used to use gps-correlate but then I wrote the geotagging support in Viking. It has the ability to overwrite existing Geotag data in the file (you will have to turn on this option in the geotagging process). The latest Viking version 1.5 also has the ability to Geotag images to a Waypoint's position. HTH. Be Seeing You - Rob.

Re: [OSM-talk] How to create very large jpeg from OSM file
I forgot to mention, one can fix the zoom level of the map tiles being viewed (independently of the view zoom level) Right click on the Map Layer -> Properties. Then select the 'Zoom Level' for the tiles in the bottom drop down menu. Normally one would use 'Use Viking Zoom Level', which means the tile zoom level matches the viewing zoom level. This is normal web map view. However one can set the value to a specific Viking Zoom level: Where Viking Zoom level 1 = OSM Zoom Level 17 and Viking Zoom level 128 is OSM Zoom level 10. Thus one would first set-up to view the selected area using the default 'Use Viking Zoom Level'. Then set the Viking Zoom level value to a lower value to get all tiles covering the viewed area (providing auto download is on) at that fixed tile zoom value. NB The Viking Zoom Level is a notional 'Metres per Pixel' pixel factor value, but that's probably only valid at the equator. I hope that makes sense! > > Thanks robert. I am an active VIKING user.

This is also possible with the GUI program Viking (http://sourceforge.net/projects/viking). Once you have downloaded map tiles for the area, use the File->Generate Image File option.

[OSM-talk] Royal Mail Incorrect OSM Usage
I think it's nice that the Royal Mail have chosen to use OSM for the backdrop to their site for Great Britain Golden Postbox listings to celebrate Team GB successes in the current Olympics: http://www.goldpostboxes.com/ 1. I think a certain Attribution clause is missing[1] 2. I think they are merely pointing to the OSM main tileserver (tile.openstreetmap.org) - this doesn't seem in keeping with the OSM Tile Usage Policy[2] [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy Be Seeing You - Rob.

Re: [OSM-talk] License change/redaction affecting objects geometry
My 2p:
Leave it to [2].
A. since it is no effort
B. any problems created by the redaction should be noticeable by [2] whether it
was caused by the bot or *any other normal edit*
Apart from deletions, but then the gives mappers (including new mappers!)
something to (re)map via local knowledge or other ODBL compatible sources - if
they are so inclined to notice something is missing.
I sort of like the idea of creating out of band info in OpenStreetBugs for
items that are deleted - i.e. just 'something was here' not sure how that can
be legal since that itself is a derivative of a decliners IP.

I've started contacting undecided local mappers near me, it helps that the first contact resulted in an agreement, so that keeps one encouraged! However as far as I can tell the edits made by anonymous users will be removed come the 'judgement day' I can't find any tools to help me find out the extent of anonymous edits - does any one have any advice?
