or the uk.rec.cycling newsgroup) you'll find a hard core of committed cyclists who feel that many NCN routes can be inconvenient and badly designed, and would rate them at 4 or 5. And so on. We've had this debate several times beforehand - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Cycleworth is one example. You can, of course, create a 'mashup' by using OSM data as a base, and designing a website (or printed map) that superimposes your own subjective rankings on top. That's one way to go. The other (and best) way is to tag the individual factors within OSM which make a good route: surface, traffic levels, incidence of annoying traffic lights, etc. etc. Your routing or rendering setup can then juggle these to get an estimate of what's cycle-friendly according to your own preferred metrics. Traffic levels are hard to tag accurately, but in OSM, we iterate towards accuracy: so you could make an estimate (based on counting traffic in the other direction as you cycle along a road) of, say, 1000 vehicles per hour, and when someone comes up with a better methodology they'll correct it. cc:ed to the international tagging list. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Tags-for-bicycle-friendly-streets-Ride-the-City-Brisbane-tp5528579p5550245.html Sent from the Australia mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 06:45:43 +1000 From: Ben Kelley ben.kel...@gmail.com To: OSM Australian Talk List talk-au@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [talk-au] Tags for bicycle friendly streets (Ride the City - Brisbane) Message-ID: aanlktikrgeyyyrcwufsplycqa_maupzi4uitrltv1...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi. I don't know about other places in Australia, but for Sydney we are doing well simply to have marked cycle routes mapped at all. I thought the rating system was only proposed. Is it actually used for anything? i.e. Is there any routing system that uses it? - Ben Kelley. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It doesn't seem likely things are going to be resolved to everyone's liking, in fact there seems to be a new type of service popping up every other week. So to this end I just filed a bug with JOSM asking to get multiple credentials stored and some easy way to switch between them. This is so you don't need to run JOSM under multiple usernames when you are playing with or editing data on various other services that are compatible with the OSM APIs. https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/5490 ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

So to this end I just filed a bug with JOSM asking to get multiple credentials stored and some easy way to switch between them. To me this means multiple username and password combinations, all with the same OSM site. I think you should spell out that we need JOSM to be able to be used on different mapping sites. Do you happen to know of any other mapping web sites ? I have not looked but I suspect a few people would at least be thinking about forking OSM.
