[Talk-GB] SOTM 2013 - Poster and Accommodation deadline

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi All,

Two deadlines for State of the Map to be aware of:

== 1. Posters: ==
We are offering to print (free of charge thanks to ITO World) A1 sized
posters for display at SOTM. This is ideal for people who want to share
something with the community but are unable to attend.

Our print deadline for these is WEDNESDAY 28th August (this week). Please
fill in the online form and we will get back to you:
http://2013.stateofthemap.org/info/call-presentations/

(note that this deadline does not apply if you are intending to print your
own poster and bring it with you).


== 2. Accommodation: ==
Because of demand from other events at Aston, SotM has to release any hotel
rooms reserved but not booked by delegates by WEDENESDAY 28th August (11am
GMT). After that time you'll be competing with others in reserving rooms -
they're still available subject to demand: you will have to call Aston's
Reservations Team on 0121 204 3726 or email r.bi...@aston.ac.uk and you'll
get the best available rate on the day of booking.

(note: This does not apply to the student residences, which are available
to book right up to Tuesday 3rd September)

Regards,
Rob

Re: [Talk-GB] HS2 mapping

Just to highlight some mapping ITO have just released

... Would be great to get more detail into OSM along the route, in 
particular footpaths and heritage details so the project is based on a 
thorough understanding of the impacts. We will update the maps from time 
to time, and use the latest OSM data when we do so.


If you wish to detect which public rights of way (PROWs) are close to the 
route of the proposed HS2, my web site http://www.thehs2.com may help.


www.thehs2.com can be used to display a map showing:
   the route of the HS2;
   the PROWs that are close to the route of the HS2;
   the points at which these PROWs cross the route of the HS2.
The underlying map can be from the Ordnance Survey, OpenStreetMap, Google 
or Bing.


Examples are:
   Phase 1 (from London to the West Midlands):
  
http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/maps/showmap.php?place=South%20Heath&type=rcOSM&lat=51.705&lon=-0.677&zoom=13
   Phase 2 (from the West Midlands to the North West and the North East):
  
http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/maps/showmap.php?place=Culcheth&type=rcOSM&lat=53.45&lon=-2.52&zoom=13

Those web pages show a map from OpenStreetMap with various items 
superimposed on the map:

   a multi-coloured line that shows the route of the HS2;
   some cyan coloured lines showing the route of PROWs;
   some circles showing crossing points (i.e., where HS2 and a PROW meet).
You can click on any of these items to get more details about the item.

www.thehs2.com provides information about PROWs close to the HS2 as 
follows:

   Phase 1:
  Only for those PROWs which I've walked.  This is all but two of the
  crossing points between Euston and Offchurch (near Leamington Spa).
  Because of my GPS device, this data is inaccurate in places.
   Phase 2:
  Only for those PROWs where the council has released data about their
  PROWs.  This is actually most of the PROWs as only the councils of
  Manchester, Sheffield and Trafford are unable to supply data.

The data is also available in KML format:
   Phase 1:
  crossing points: http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/c/all.kml
PROWs: http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/r/all.kml
   Phase 2:
  crossing points: http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/c/all.kml
PROWs: http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/r/all.kml

The crossing points are also available in csv files:
   Phase 1:
  http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/c/all.csv
   Phase 2:
  http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/c/all.csv
In these csv files, the word "Fill" means "embankment" and the phrase
"At Grade" means "level with the nearby land".

So these maps/data may help you find the PROWs which cross the route of 
the HS2 that are missing from OpenStreetMap and so need some mapping done.

Re: [Talk-GB] Building in space

It's quite complicated(conceptually and technically) and that level of
detail is not done by many people yet.

There is information in the wiki though, and several people are thinking a
lot about it. I think there will be a few talks about mapping for
disabilities at this year's State of the Map.

A quick search threw up these pages for me:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Levels
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IndoorOSM#Modeling_the_different_levels_.28floors.29

[Talk-GB] Building in space

[Lester Caine]

I have a multi-story car park which I need to add a 'shopmobility' hire store on 
the top level and correctly link to the footpaths and roads so that routing 
works for disabled users. The only road access is on the base level, and 
disabled bays are on the top level next to the shop. Footpaths all come of the 
top level and the road access slopes steeply away from the car park. Just to add 
to the fun, there is a car valeting business 3 stories below, as well which is 
also not mapped currently. I'm not seeing anything in the wiki as a guide to 
handle this.
