Apologies to those who are not happy using Flash 9, but the interactive features really did need it. And yes, they are using OSM data! Yes :) Nick at ZXV helped out with the projection of the mapnik layer to OSGB so that the mysociety overlays lined up. Artem also helped out a lot with the OSGB projections and Mapnik - so thanks to him too. Before anyone complains that there's no CC-BY-SA attribution (the letter of the license) please rest assured that Steve (Coast) already got to me and that I am updating the maps to reflect that as quickly as I can! The project is prominently credited, and all the code is open source (the spirit of the license). However the lack of CC license is an oversight on my part, and given my early involvement in OSM I should have known better. Next time... ;-) Tom. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk -- Nick Black http://www.blacksworld.net ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] travel-time-maps
Hello, I'm thrilled to hear that people are still working on this, I recently emailed Tom at mySociety to ask about it. I'm trying to find a way to use free data and tools including OpenStreetMap for a big community regeneration project in Sutton, South London, and analysis of transport and amenity accessibility is a big resource mapping priority! Any more info about how far down the line the tools are, how hard it would be to plug in OSM data and start some analysis, etc. would be much appreciated. I'd love to go for some joint funding with someone like OSMF / mySociety but have so far had next to no response.
