Re: [Talk-GB] OSM on Traveline website
Hi all, Coincidentally, I'm in Sheffield this week too. Jerry said the traveline website so I went to Traveline Yorkshire. But Stuart corrected me offlist - the Yorkshire one is not using OSM data/maps yet I think. However if I go to http://www.travelinesw.com/ I can get OSM-powered routing... even though Sheffield isn't in the South West ;) Dan 2014-09-15 14:59 GMT+01:00 SK53 sk53@gmail.com: Over the weekend I made a fair bit of use of the traveline website for planning journeys in the Greater Manchester and Sheffield areas. Something which was relatively new to me was OSM maps appearing under the local map button. These show pedestrian routes between various public transport modes, and can be saved as PDFs (although I don't find the PDF's as readable as the on-line versions which use 'traditional' Mapnik style with a very clear overlay of bus stops and routing info). As one of my destinations was best reached by a number of different buses with very different routes, the provision of walking routes through parks a nature reserve. In fact I wished I'd used this facility more as it would have meant I'd have caught an earlier bus in Sheffield: and I could have stored some of the PDF plans on the phone to double check exactly where the bus stops where situated. (I may have also been properly alerted that the tram network in Manchester was shut down on Saturday). All-in-all its a very useful improvement to the Traveline site, and I felt a great deal of satisfaction that it was OSM data delivered through a 3rd party site. Although I've been aware of traveline's activity with OSM, I'd no idea that I'd find it so useful.

[Talk-GB] Edinburgh pub meeting
I was planning to go to the pub meeting at the Guildford Arms this evening as it is the third Tuesday of September. However, the wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Edinburgh#Social_Events has the date as 23rd September which is the fourth Tuesday. Can anyone confirm which date is correct? I don't really like going to the pub on my own. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Edinburgh-pub-meeting-tp5817572.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

We know that they don’t look especially good at the moment, and that is an area that we have yet to fully re-configure. The colours/displays and what features are shown is not entirely as we want them to be. That’s one task that is down to me to do shortly! Great to see you using OSM. I've just helped out your guy Rick in Bristol with routing a confusing contraflow road. Another couple of things Re: PDFs: If I click on the PDF button to download the map it doesn't add a file extension making it awkward to open. Strangely if I right click on the icon select 'Save As' it does. Would it be possible to give the PDFs names that correspond to the name that traveline gives each section of the route? ie Temple Meads, Temple Meads, Stop tb instead of FILELOAD1 etc?
