[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Redaction complete for west mids
Folks, The redaction bot finally completed its run across our patch which means that you may find some Ways without tags and the odd untagged Node here and there etc. Worth looking over the maps carefully in case there are any major issues to look at. There was a problem redacting some ways within the West Coast Main Line relation so I'd steer clear of that unless unavoidable until they work out what the issue is.

[Talk-GB] Strange Routing Error
I am trying to fix a routing problem, that I found whilst investigating an error was reported in mapdust. It is a strange one and has me totally baffled, so hoping someone here can help. A simple U-Turn around a roundabout, adds a detour along Llangollen Road, to then use Tower Hill to turn around and come back to the Roundabout. Dragging the start point around the roundabout does eventually work once you have passed the first exit. http://map.project-osrm.org/Uv Using the same finish point, but moving the start to the A483 exit slip road has another strange result. There are no obvious turn restrictions, as they are all possible, with different finish points. http://map.project-osrm.org/Uz I am assuming it is more than a problem with OSRM. Otherwise I guess the only option is just to re-survey, delete and redraw the area. Thanks Phil ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] Strange Routing Error
I noticed there are a number of roundabouts in the area without an explicit oneway=yes, and a couple of slip roads and part of the New High Street were also missing oneway=yes. This may be a contributing factor so I fixed what I found. Don't know how long it will take OSRM to get the updates into the routing network though.

[Talk-GB] Redaction progress
[posted to talk-gb@, announce@ and talk@; please choose follow-ups carefully; please also translate and forward to your local mailing list if relevant] The redaction bot has started on the 'Western Europe' area. Because continents are annoyingly not shaped like rectangles, this inevitably includes some overlap with North Africa etc. The UK is finishing off as we speak. You can monitor its current location at a site set up by Harry: http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/license-change/botprocessing.php As you'll see, the internal checks of the bot and the API occasionally throw up errors which cause a region (1 degree square) not to be fully processed. The coders working on the bot are tracking these failures down and fixing them as we go: if you'd like to help or find out more, they're in #osm-dev on IRC (irc.oftc.net). When a failure is fixed then the bot is rerun for that area. cheers Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

[Talk-GB] Lambeth council opens up
Hi All, Good news on the local council front. Lambeth council is looking to open up all (excluding confidential data) the data they hold [1]. This is fantastic news and somthing other councils should try to follow. They know that this will be a big task so are looking for people to send in requests so that they can prioritise which data gets released first. As they are an Inner London council, they are not required to hold data on public rights of way. However, a quick look on their site indicates that they already have some location data available under the free Open Government Licence [2]. Looks like a mashup map has been produced [3] and blogged about [4]. As always Import into OSM should be handled with care. In this case I would expect some/much (?) of the data to already exist in OSM and therefore we could use Lambeth's data as a tool to check if we have anything missing before completing a ground survey to confirm the details. Regards, RobJN p.s. Thanks to Andrew for bringing this to my attention on his blog http://take21.org/blog/ [1] http://www.guardian.co.uk/government-computing-network/2012/jul/11/lambeth-council-open-data-pledge [2] http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/CouncilDemocracy/DataProtectionFOI/OpenData.htm?sp=opendata [3] http://goodfornothing.com/gigs/lambeth/maps/ [4] http://lambethopendata.wordpress.com/open-data-discussion/ ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] Google Maps using Sustrans Cycling data
On Fri, 13 Jul 2012, ASnail Snail wrote: Where I work in Bristol, there are quite a lot of cycle lanes not referenced on the Sustrans/Google map and not in OSM. So, I added some in last night following the suggestions on the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cycleway page. So far so good. What is the best way to check the changes are working correctly? Normally I just view the standard OSM map about half an hour after I upload the changes and I can see new paths or roads etc, but something as subtle as a bike lane that goes in the opposite way along an existing one way road isn't shown. Will the cycle map when it next gets updated (which I gather can be a while) show the changes? Are there other ways other than the cycle map and viewing the attributes of the road to view the changes? CycleStreets updates from OSM data every few days. The last import is dated Wed, 11 Jul 2012. (We're a little delayed at the moment due to holidays, testing some international stuff, and because of caution in relation to the redaction.) We've added quite a bit of support for more advanced routing attributes, so hopefully our engine will be a good testing-ground: http://www.cyclestreets.net/blog/2012/05/20/more-osm-tags-supported/ I'd strongly encourage you to get involved in the England Cycling Data project if you can: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/England_Cycling_Data_project as things brings quite a bit of cycling infrastructure into OSM if people can spend a little time merging their city.

[Talk-GB] OSM sighting on ferry
Whilst on the (Southampton - Isle of Wight) Red Funnel car ferry today, there was a series of slideshow pictures on a TV screen. One of them included a properly attributed OSM map! It wasn't a customised rendering - it was certainly familiar to me. I don't think it was the slippy mapnik map, but I could be wrong.
