Re: [talk-au] highway=living_street - what do people think?

 I note that living_street isn't listed in the Australian tagging
 guidelines - hence my query.

99.999% of the time you should only use the Map Features page for
specific tags, the Aussie Tagging Guidelines is more to do with
translating from UK/Euro speak into Aussie, rather than defining our
own tags.

From what I've seen in emails from those living in UK/Europe, living
streets seem to be common there, but seem fairly rare here. I've
marked one street as living street where pedestrians have more right
of way than cars:

Very well - I'll leave it as living_street.

[talk-au] Replace all gmap tiles with OSM tiles

2009-10-16 Thread John Smith
I just noticed this in a diary entry, someone has setup a tile server
to replace google map tile requests, simply update your hosts file
with this entry:

86.57.245.71 mt0.google.com mt1.google.com mt2.google.com
mt3.google.com mt.google.com

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Kom%D1%8Fpa/diary/8309

Alternatively you can use a bookmarklet to do it, but that requires
you to manually trigger it each time, but that way you can still
switch to gmap tiles.

 There's one in Orange too.
 I'm bemused by the report of roundabout only suitable for Uturns
 that will make for interesting routing

Is that one of those turning circles with a grass/garden bed in the middle?

Re: [talk-au] OSM Client for Symbian?

2009-10-16 Thread Cosmic Charade
Got it working ok although it chews up quite a bit of memory..  Can mark 
waypoints but not sure how to translate that to POI's.

Excellent application though - and good to see it is still under 
development.

I hope it gets ported across to Maemo.

 I fixed it.

 You may need to go into Development Menu and select the option 
 talking about using the Jsr179.

 I have a sneaking suspicion that I needed to restart the app after 
 that, but I don't remember. If it works, you should see 1 device under 
 the GPS menu.

 Hope this helps.

 Did you have to do anything to get it to work and find your GPS?

 It says GPS not found in the settings (Nokia N95)

 I've been using Mobile Trail Explorer on my E71.

 *It's far from polished, crashes occasionally, and has a
 flakey UI, but it records traces to KML and GPX, and can load
 OSM map tiles if you have a Internet connection.

 I believe you can also download the map tiles to a cache so as
 that you can use them without Internet, but I've not tried it.*

 *But, save your trace frequently, and don't dare interrupt
 saving a trace, lest it eat all your hard work and crash...

I have a Nokia N95.  I want to go walkabout north side
 Canberra this
weekend to get some fresh air.  I'm ready to go with a stack of
batteries and plenty of music.

a) Is there a Symbian / Nokia client to access OSM on the
 go like
I can
do with Google Maps?
b) Can I record a track with say Nokia Sports Tracker that
 can export
tracks to kml format to contribute if I find any bike or
 walking
tracks
or POIs along the way?

My wife stole the netbook so I can't use that with my GPS
 dongle :-(

Thanks..

The one in Canberra is constructed like a normal roundabout (big 
concrete slab centre, IIRC), except that there's townhouses in every 
direction except for the entry/exit point.

[talk-au] How to combine img files

2009-10-16 Thread Gavin Scott
I would like to send more than one routable map from this site
http://www.osmaustralia.org/garminroute.php to my gps 60csx at the same time
so I can display more than one state at a time - I live on the border of one
of the tiles.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Some experimenting this morning indicates this is fixed in the version I run

 navit files built form osm data don't show a road if there is a reuse of

 and so navigation around adelaide is going to be really interesting
 as a lot of main roads have just disappeared

 please guys
 don't reuse admin boundaries ( like ABS ) to replace perfectly good data
 that
 was already in the database.

 Just like i used to reuse the post office node for the place name and then
 the
 rendering rules changed for mapnik and none of those named places showed up
 on
 the map.
