Out of copyright British era maps can be geo-referenced over a web map
on Map Warper: https://mapwarper.net/

This may not be very accurate but with enough reference points, it can
be matched with others.

As Arun suggested in his second part, existing lakes survey has to be
done to collect as much data as possible on the ground via paper, gpx
traces, and geotagged pictures of the lakes. All of this can help remote
mappers to chip in for the mapping alongside satellite imagery via HOT
tasking manager.

To get started, I think we can put all of this together on an OSM wiki
page. Each lake can have a sub-page with related links to out of
copyright maps and collected survey data. Have created a wiki page with
basic information that you shared on mailing list here -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bangalore_lakes_mapping_project

Please feel free to modify the title/content of the page as required.

This is quite complex than I thought but it does makes sense to follow
Census classification. For now, I've added list of references for
classifying the places and shared this on

[Talk-in] Classification of Indian places

2016-08-22 Thread Yogesh K S
Bringing this back again since there was no clear acceptance on the
classification of Indian places[1] from last discussion some years
back[2]. I can see that many small towns are tagged as cities in some
states[3]. And the List of Cities in India entry on enwiki is by
population which seems to be incomplete[4].

If there is a lack of consensus on classification proposal made on the
OpenStreetMap wiki India page, we can discuss or else use the same as
accepted one.

Re: [Talk-in] Translating names on iD

2016-05-25 Thread Yogesh K S
You just need to zoom-in until the /Edit/ button is enabled and click 
there to add the name to the relation. I could add Amharic language name 
for India[1]. And the country boundary relations will normally have a 
label node where the names can also be added[2]. For India, the node 
representing the label is here[3]. But OSM tiles do not currently render 
labels for relations.

For example,

Is it not possible to add other languages names for 'India' using iD?

Re: [Talk-in] Indian districts tagging

2016-03-11 Thread Yogesh K S

1. place=district makes sense. We should change this.
Great, have updated the wiki - 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_India/Boundaries#Administrative_divisions 
and will change the values from county to district.
2. Looking at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative it 
seems like admin_level=6 is a popular choice for a district level unit 
in the other big countries, larger than India. Its a good idea to use 
6 for consistency. And it allows use to use the 5 slot for the zonal 
councils.
Right, admin_level=6 seems better for districts than 5. But how do we 
take care of districts that are already tagged with 5? As most of the 
districts have already been tagged 5 - 
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/keys/admin_level#values, should we mass 
replace them with 6 if the consensus is in favor of this here?


And also values like A & A1 are used in combination with railway=station 
tag - http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/eWQ. Don't know what do these values 
indicate in an administration boundary and relate to railway stations.

Re: [Talk-in] On a interface for translation

2016-01-24 Thread Yogesh K S

Hi Sibi,

Great to see some progress with respect to adding Indic languages in 
OSM. Although bulk uploading of data is generally discouraged, you can 
look at Nomino[1] which is specifically made for name translation. iD 
editor may be better to start with, but you can also try out JOSM[2] and 
use its filter funtion[3] to filter out features which don't have Tamil 
language tags in your downloaded mapping data and easily add the Tamil 
names. It may take some time in the beginning with JOSM, but once you 
get hold of it, you can become a power mapper with it![4]


Normally I add Kannada names along-with English names whenever I create 
any new element on OSM in Karnataka region and also add them if I don't 
see Kannada names whenever I do regular mapping usually with JOSM. 
Currently, I see that the number of Tamil names in India[5] is almost 
half compared to rest of the world[6]. Hopefully, this difference would 
be decreased in near future as more contributors begin to add regional 
language names alongside English names.

Re: [Talk-in] Roads in India: How complete is OpenStreetMap ?

2015-11-22 Thread Yogesh योगि

Hi Naveen,

Blog from Mikel shows that in India only 21% of roads are mapped. 
[ref: CIA factbook ]


https://www.mapbox.com/blog/how-complete-is-openstreetmap/

https://gist.github.com/tcql/0d7ad9b32afbea76f615

Is there any further analysis by states or type of road ?


The India:Roads OSM wiki page[1] has some status on the percentage of SH 
roads mapped and other details, although I couldn't see much recent 
updates on individual State pages except in Karnataka[2] and Kerala[3] 
State pages. From the wiki page, it looks like much of the Haryana[4], 
Karnataka, Maharastra[5] and Rajasthan[6] State Highways are completed. 
But it may also be the case that other States' SH might have been done 
but not updated on the OSM wiki page.

[Talk-in] Map your waste

What should we do with invented data in OSM and Wikipedia!

Hello,

I have a small problem. Some User from a small village fakes the data in 
Wikipedia and also here in OSM. The Problem is that he invented the 
National Highways NH233A and NH233B.


Around every 3 month he tries to implement the wrong data in OSM.  
Normally I repair afterwards every relation, road classification and 
wrong naming. Afterwards he created 5 to 10 accounts and tried again to 
implement the wrong data. But this is from me no problem.


I wrote all Users that they shouldn’t implement wrong data but I got 
never a reply.


Now my question:

How we get permanently the wrong data out of Wikipedia and is there 
maybe somebody with Hindi skills to write a message?

[Talk-in] Fwd: Collaborating with OSM Community

2015-06-30 Thread Yogesh योगि

Hey everyone,

FSMK(Free Software Movement Karnataka) has been conducting residential 
camps in various engineering colleges every year for students completely 
dedicated to Free and Open Source Software technologies.


In the last year's camp, we had a OSM 
event(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Events/Mapping_Party_in_FSMK_Summer_Camp,_Bangalore) 
and it would be great if members from OSM community can collaborate with 
FSMK for the OSM event in this year's camp(http://camp.fsmk.org/) as 
well and take it further with college GLUGs(GNU/Linux User Groups).

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Yogi,

We could not take the relationship with OSM as a community in
later activities. We would like to explore how we can both work
together as like-minded communities starting with this camp.

In the current context of upcoming camp (camp.fsmk.org), we look
forward to OSM's support beyond inviting resource persons to conduct
the workshop, to collaborate effectively in various areas. One options
is to collaboratively organize events by leveraging the strong network
of GLUGs in engineering colleges across Karnataka.. Please feel free
to share with rest of your organizers and we can discuss further.

As an immediate action item we would request few of OSM community
members to be available during camp. We would like to allocate 1-2
hours of slot during the camp to introduce about the community and
different other initiatives. We also plan off line mapping activities
for a hands on mapping experience during the camp.

We hope that such collaboration will help people from both
communities to an exposure to each other.

Though we discussed this many times , I just made this mail bit formal
to set the context clear for others if you are thinking of forwarding
it to someone from the community.

Re: [Talk-in] Taginfo for India OSM

2015-05-29 Thread Yogesh योगि

Hi Naveen,

To get the length of roads in OSM, tools like road_length 
https://github.com/yogiks/osmium-contrib/tree/master/road_length and 
osm-length 
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/filter/osm-length/ can 
be helpful(Anyone else know other programs?). Other way of doing 
this(I've never tried) can be loading osm2pgsql database with 
geofabrik's India OSM extract and running required queries.


Tried Frederik's osm-length-2.pl 
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/filter/osm-length/osm-length-2.pl 
with Bengaluru 
https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.mapzen.com/bengaluru_india.osm.bz2 
OSM extract and got the following result -

$perl osm-length-2.pl blr.osm  blrroads.osm
highway length sums (metres):
 6033537m
residential  5054166m
unclassified 2923566m

steps   2086m
raceway  807m
proposed 265m
bridleway184m
cycleway  76m
TOTAL   18552043m


As per the tagging scheme 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Tags/Highway#Major_Roads , 
most of the NH except few Urban Arterial Roads are tagged as 
highway=trunk http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/tags/highway=trunk#map. 
So length of trunk can approximately tell the NH coverage in OSM.

[Talk-in] Taginfo for India OSM

2015-05-22 Thread Yogesh योगि

Hey everyone,

Now that we have openstreetmap.in and tasking manager instance for OSM 
India, we can slowly start setting up other things around OSM. On this 
front, I have been testing and running updates for a week now on OSM 
India taginfo test instance set up at - 
http://rmsa.karnatakaeducation.org.in/. This taginfo instance is based 
on the Geofabrik extract 
http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/india-latest.osm.pbf which is 
updated daily. Please have a look at it and if all is fine, I can set it 
up at - taginfo.openstreetmap.in


Taginfo helps in finding and aggregating information about OSM tags and 
setting it up for India will help us to know stats of some of the 
interesting keys/tags like postal_code 
http://rmsa.karnatakaeducation.org.in/keys/postal_code#values, and 
also some interesting reports 
http://rmsa.karnatakaeducation.org.in/reports of OSM India tag data.

 Yesterday, I decided to extract the nodes with the postal_code tag and
 make a pincode+post office map. The result is available here to

amazing map..! :)

 This already looks like a very useful dataset to analyze pincode

Although generally we see most of the towns/cities pincodes start with

[Talk-in] Fwd: OpenStreetMap events in 2015

2015-02-27 Thread Yogesh योगि

No SoTM from OSMF this year.. But there'd be SoTM-US and SoTM-Scotland
in June and October respectively..

 Forwarded Message 
Subject:OpenStreetMap events in 2015
Date:   Wed, 25 Feb 2015 01:17:42 +
From:   OpenStreetMap


OpenStreetMap events in 2015

The OpenStreetMap Foundation has been organising the annual State of the
Map (SotM) conference since 2007. These events have proved popular with
our community and beyond, and have grown from a few dozen attendees to a
high of 300 attendees at SotM 2013. This year we had two good bids to
host SotM 2015, but issues beyond our control caused concerns about
whether we could make this into a success. The SotM working group, with
the support of the OSMF board, has therefore agreed that there will be
no OSM Foundation organised conference this year.

As the OpenStreetMap community has grown over the last 10 years, so has
the conference scene. Even without OSMF organising a conference this
year, there will still be a number of OSM-centered conferences,
including SotM US http://stateofthemap.us/ at the UN’s New York
headquarters in June, and SotM-Scotland
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_of_the_Map_Scotland_2015 in
October. There are also many webinars, mapping parties, hack events and
socials planned http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Current_events for
2015.

The StateoftheMap Organizing Committee
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/StateoftheMap_Organizing_Committee
has taken on a number of new members to support our efforts in 2015,
2016 and beyond. We are currently drafting a proposal on the future of
SotM in which we are looking at the role of SotM within the project and
how the OSMF SotM relates to the various regional events. We already
have some views but we encourage you to share yours in the comments below.

Preparations for State of the Map 2016 will be starting soon and we
encourage local groups who may be interested in hosting SotM in their
home country to contact us early.

-  Forwarded Message 
Subject: New query feature
Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2014 15:08:39 +
From: HarryWood



New query feature

A couple of weeks ago we mentioned a brand new feature on the
OpenStreetMap.org homepage. On the right hand side we have a new “?”
button which lets you query the map.

  * On openstreetmap.org http://openstreeetmap.org, zoom in somewhere
  * Click the “?” button to enter query mode
  * Click the map on something you are interested in
  * Hover over the results, and choose one to find out more

query_tool

When you query a spot on the map, this new tool will retrieve nearby
points of interest from the OpenStreetMap database, and let you quickly
drill down to all of the detailed tagging information we have in that
database.


  More than a map

This new tool helps highlight a crucial point about OpenStreetMap. It’s
so much more than just a visual map. OpenStreetMap is a rich database of
geo-located information, only some of which is visible on the “standard”
view of the map. Other information is visible via different layers (such
as cycle routes presented on the cycling layer) and all of the data can
be viewed by enabling the “map data” layer (also on the layer picker
panel) but this query tool offers a new window into the OpenStreetMap
data, and a new way to discover all the details our contributors are
adding to the database.

For developers this data opens up a world of possibilities. All the data
is available to download
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data for free.

  *

After the last meetup on PIN codes, we are thinking of doing a
sprint to start working on some of the tasks that we outlined -

1. Consolidate all the existing PIN code data into a database.

2. Re-purpose Thej's OpenPostBox project to collect and verify
existing data - http://openbangalore.org/postbox/

3. Start writing specification for the API.

We also want to introduce MapWarper.net http://mapwarper.net/, a
browser based georeferencing tool, by georeferencing some old maps of
India
http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00maplinks/colonial/plassey1757/plassey1757.htmland
create mashups with it.


Feel free to bring some of your problems as well to the meetup we
can all try and get some of it done! If you want to know more about the
Sprint, read our previous post.
