It's on the Board meeting agenda for Saturday. As this year I expect we will go for the same process of asking for proposals to host the conference so it will be up to the local OSM communities to come forward if they wish to have a stab at hosting SOTM in 2010. Amsterdam went off fantastically well with this approach. Cheers Andy ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] [OSM-talk] [Announcement] Support added for route waypoints in YOURS

Yournavigation.org does worldwide routing since june 2008. ;-) So thank you for adding Canada and USA to your service. To celebrate, I asked for a route From: Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY To: a Tim Hortons coffee shop in Hespeler Ontario, where an OSM meetup is scheduled tonight. and yournavigation.org returns a perfectly reasonable[1] route of Points: 6344 Length: 798.5 km Congratulations and thanks again. All of this wonderful code and a BSD license? Fantastic. I hope it didn't take too long? Routing in the USA might be all wrong as the Tiger data isn't really suitable for routing (which you probably know), but perhaps the Tiger cleanup has progressed far enough to start producing reasonable results. Great to hear it. Best regards, Richard Thanks for your kind words.

The code for this feature has been contributed by Philip Homburg. Web design is still rather crude, but that will hopefully improve over time. Last week a few other tweaks have also been implemented: the routing API can return the route in geoJSON format as well as KML, the GPX export is no longer limited to a few hundred nodes, a JS bug has been fixed for IE 6.0 and multiple API versions can live alongside each other which gives 3rd party API users plenty of time to migrate between the different versions. So please try out the use of waypoints on: http://www.yournavigation.org/. I hope you will enjoy this new function.

Re: [Talk-ca] Nanaimo Status Update
That's great Sam. I plan to have a look in the next couple of days... Good idea about the additional Nanaimo data. Jason also mentioned lakes and other hydro features which are available.. I'll discuss data restrictions with him early next week (or whenever he gets back from vacation). Once my dislocated shoulder heals I plan to capture the EN trail which goes through Nanaimo. I was discussing with the EN group about their plans for extending the trail to Comox... Sounds like we'll have a new major trail to map in the next couple of years (Victoria to Comox). Chat soon.

I copied over the GeoBaseNRN roads that Austin converted and made the .osm file available. ... there are still a few left. One option, is that we convert the other data that is available (that bike routes file) and while adding that to OSM (adding route network relations) we can be removing those duplicates as we see. Also, that side walk data could also be imported (manually is best), to ensure that it all connects. :) Anyway, on another note. I have the Spreadsheet which is live (and automatically updated) available. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tmY7V02fBT8C8vimCf8ioXgsingle=truegid=1output=html So if anyone wants access to it, just ask. :-) Im now working on updating the speadsheet so that it shows the nation wide status for all of the Canada Import. I'll have a 2nd sheet for the GeoBaseNHN tile set. :) Feedback is welcome and always appreciated :).

Does that include Québec? If so, I'll stop manual tagging of addresses, it is time consuming! :) As for addr:block, how is it different from putting an addr:housenumber node on the corner of the street and using an addr:interpolation line in between? (similar to this: http://osm.org/go/cIrN_LB8s-- the renderer somehow do now show all the numbers). It looks to me as a duplicate way of tagging things. My 2 ¢.

See the 360 on this map http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.1061lon=-70.8097zoom=12layers=B000FTF Every time mapnik encounters a new way, it takes it at face value, and restarts the shield rendering and shield repeats along the length of the way. As Richard pointed out, the min_distance is 120px, so it starts rendering the first shield of the next way a minimum of 120 pixels away from another shield. Point is, to us it looks like one long way, and we would maybe assume that a single shield would suffice, but to mapnik, it's a collection of unique ways, each taken at face value. Increasing the min_distance would introduce more problems where 2 shielded highways are close to each other. Still, it's a nice idea, and would perhaps be possible either be preprocessing the data in additional ways, or by enhancements to mapnik itself. Needs someone to try, test and implement it. -- Lennard ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
