Re: [OSM-talk] New Export Tab
Yea the export tab is a great leap forward for this project! Makes it so much more useful then any other map service! Thanks (WARNING POSSIBLE FEATURE REQUEST) - Is it possible to export larger chunks of the maps at the maximum level of detail? (WARNING DWEEB QUESTIONS) - Is it possible to import the XML-file into Illustrator? - When I use this map, how can I tell the scale and projection when printing? Would it be correct just to say WGS84? And calculate the scale manually. Would that be enough to get that professional touch? 21 apr 2008 kl. 10.06 skrev Frederik Ramm: Just wanted to congratulate whoever was involved in the development of the Export tab. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

No, because it would be too computationally expensive to produce such maps. In the case of the bitmap images it would require vast amounts of memory and in the case of the vector images they would be unusable even if you could produce them as the files would be so large that rendering them would take forever. (WARNING DWEEB QUESTIONS) - Is it possible to import the XML-file into Illustrator? Not unless Illustrator has magically gained an understanding of OpenStreetMap XML data while I wasn't looking, at that seems extremely unlikely. Your best bet will be to take the mapnik SVG/PDF/PS image and import that - Illustrator should be able to read at least one of those. - When I use this map, how can I tell the scale and projection when printing? Would it be correct just to say WGS84? And calculate the scale manually. Would that be enough to get that professional touch? The scale will be (give or take) what you asked for in the case of mapnik - there is as I explained yesterday one possible issue over the question of DPI assumptions with the vector formats. With the mapnik bitmaps formats, if you assume the bitmap to be a 96 DPI image then the scale should be what you asked for I think. The projection is the Google spherical mercator projection for both mapnik and osmarender images (aka EPSG 900913).

Thanks (WARNING POSSIBLE FEATURE REQUEST) - Is it possible to export larger chunks of the maps at the maximum level of detail? I guess the size of the export really is a question of performance, as there's only a finite amount of processing power that can be devoted to the export functionality. If you need such larger chunks, you could try and download successive bits of the extent you need and paste them together again, or write a custom script that directly downloads the relevant tiles. Also, you could try Kosmos as an alternative rendering engine.

The projection issue would be solved by the integration of world files or geoaware formats as proposed. I guess thats a job for phase two. begin:vcard fn:Patrick Weber n:Weber;Patrick org:University College London adr:;;Gower Street;London;;WC1E 6BT;United Kingdom email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Engineering Doctorate Student tel;work:02077185430 url:http://www.ucl.ac.uk/cemi version:2.1 end:vcard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] New Export Tab
Hello, Axel : The scale bar provided currently (April 21, 2008) by the main browser at www.openstreetmap.org is wrong. The image you get with the Export tab has no scale bar, so I recommend to use the Export tab and compute the scale bar yourself.

Re: [OSM-talk] New Export Tab
And another lolcat goes to TomH :) The idea was floating around for some time but I think he really has done a good job here. I wasn't expecting the export tab to work that way but I really like how he's done it! Easy and nice to work with. Congrats. Renaud.

It might be worth mentioning this on the export page itself. In any case, excellent work. I'm going to have to start investigating the use of the main OSM codebase for the OpenPisteMap website - things like the export tab would be extremely useful there. - Steve xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] New Export Tab
Just wanted to congratulate whoever was involved in the development of the Export tab. This is an amazing addition to the Slippy Map, and really sets OSM apart from VE, GE and all other commercial mapping sites. It gives even the most casual user an easy access to the data in almost any format they wish! And it works great. Being the greedy bastard, and given my desire to further OSM usage for GIS purposes, I wondered if it would be possible to also create a world file (georeference metadata basically) so that generated images (PNG, Jpeg ...) can be readily used as base layers for maps? Alternatively, support for geoaware formats such as GeoTiff, ECW or Jpeg2000 would be another way to make integration with GIS systems seamless.
