[OSM-talk] Up-to-Date, Minutely Mapnik Bookmarklet
Hi, After a recent spate of OSM activity, especially with regards to rendering and so on, I've put together a bookmarklet designed to help visualize changes to OSM data in Mapnik more rapidly. http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/up-to-date/ Using osmosis, osm2pgsql, and Mapnik, a bookmarklet which will draw the 'current' state of the database, delayed by less than 10 minutes. Simply press this button, and an image will be drawn over the map showing the current state of the database. You simply drag the bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks toolbar, and click it on any OSM map: InformationFreeway, main map, /browse/ pages, etc. I believe that all the kinks of this particular service have been worked out at this point, though I'm happy to take any feedback or criticism you have. (Please CC me on any important feedback.) Best Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

2009/1/22 Christopher Schmidt crschm...@metacarta.com: http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/up-to-date/ Just tried it on a few places I updated last night, very smooth! In mapnik, some bits rendered slightly differently in style (e.g. base background colour differs). Some names (e.g. of buildings or streets) rendered differently to weekly mapnik too. None of these things bothers me personally. Seems like a very useful addition, thanks very much for your work. cheers, LT ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Positioning may be different, because the image is not tiled in the same way, so I've seen things shift a little due to different available spacing.

Yes, makes sense. Some names (e.g. of buildings or streets) rendered differently to weekly mapnik too. Positioning, or text? Positioning may be different, because the image is not tiled in the same way, so I've seen things shift a little due to different available spacing. Seems to be slightly different rules about which names are rendered. E.g. this area has no changes since last mapnik weekly (AFAIK): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.79741lon=-1.58727zoom=17layers=B000 Switching between mapnik and your layer, names for buildings or pubs are rendered in one and not another. Same for some icons, e.g. cafe icon in one, the postoffice next door in another. Minor things, but you asked for feedback! cheers, LT ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Very neat. Works well and very quick. I tested on something I did last night which shows fine, but it was a coastal area and no land/sea (ie no coast showing) which is a little disorientating (I was editing a river/coastline combination) so presume it doesn't pick/use the relevant shapefiles.

Nice and quick on firefox. But on safari:
Safari can't use JavaScript for this action.
Safari can't run the script (function() { var s =
document.createElement(script);
s.src=http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/up-to-date/bookmarklet.js;;
document.body.appendChild(s)})() because Safari doesn't allow
JavaScript to be used in this way.
Still a nice piece of javascript.

What version of Safari? I'm using Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1) on OS X

The osm.xml files are largely the same (I think I'm out of date by a couple commits, but they're the same other than that). Many thanks for the wiki page, strangely, I was working on the exact same thing at the same time ;-) Seams we came accross to almost the same tools and solution. My question now, if it please you to give a little technical details, is : - how big is your rendering server ? - can you hold the load for several users ? - are you using mod_tile ? - do you have cache on tiles ? -- Sylvain Letuffe li...@letuffe.org qui suis-je : http://slyserv.dyndns.org ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I only gave it a few seconds after making a change though, so the only difference I noticed was the background colour. I'll give it a few minutes and try again.
