Re: [Talk-GB] Hampshire: Volunteers needed for testing FixMyPaths, a rights of way problem reporting app
I encountered a tree blocking[1] the byway along Stancomb Broad Lane back on the 1st July this year. Which I thought about reporting but wasn't bothered / didn't know how - I guessed a local person would do it in time. Now, I'm not sure if it was actually on 'Bighton 7' or on the track further along to the East as indicated by Freemap. Some where along it anyway[2] [1] Only passable by an able bodied pedestrian between branches - i.e. good thing I didn't have my MTB that day! [2] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.10914lon=-1.09071zoom=16layers=M What no permalink option on the map? What does the search actually search? Is there a list of open ROW problems? How many are there (i.e. display this somewhere) I think I came across one by chance - but can't find it again - it just said 'broken' on a pin popup Might be worth saying reported issues are shown as 'pins' on the maps if that is the case. Might be worth moving all/some of the gumpf/disclaimer/key from the top of the map to blue panel on the left - since this panel has got a lot of wasted space. HTH. Be Seeing You - Rob. If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you.

Re: [Talk-GB] Hampshire: Volunteers needed for testing FixMyPaths, a rights of way problem reporting app
Hi Nick, Fantastic work. Looking forward to seeing the Android app. Unfortunately I don't get down to Hampshire that often any more so can't be of much help. I did however have the please of meaning one of the gents from Hampshire CC (annoyingly I can't find where I wrote his name down) at a recent city camp event up in Coventry. Chatting to him, it was apparent how keen they were for such a tool to be made available. Cheers, Rob p.s. Are your plans to expand this across other parts of the UK. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
[Talk-GB] Hampshire: Volunteers needed for testing FixMyPaths, a rights of way problem reporting app
Hi, As you probably know, Hampshire County Council released its rights of way data in the summer. I have been developing a site (OpenHants, www.free-map.org.uk/openhants) which makes use of this data and also allows users to report path problems, which are sent on to the council. I have also developed an Android app, FixMyPaths (see https://github.com/nickw1/Freemap/tree/master/android/openhants) which allows users to report problems in the field; it logs the data in my own database (exposed via an API) and sends the problem report on to the council. With the growing number of councils opening up their data I'm aiming to expand it beyond Hampshire. What would be good though is to do some more testing of the app. Is there anyone in or near Hampshire that would be willing to volunteer testing it out (I will have an apk ready by then) in the field in one or other of the first two weekends in December?
