[Talk-is] Heimild til að nota ljósmyndir Já 360 / Permission to use Já 360 photographs
Sæl öll, Ég skrifa á ensku svo allir sem nota OpenStreetMap geti lesið hann. I'm happy to announce that Já hf has given permission for OpenStreetMap contributors to reference Já 360 street-level photographs when editing the map. Just as an example, you could use the photo at the link below to survey which companies are located in the building, the number of floors in the building, and the street names shown on street signs. That sort of thing. <https://ja.is/kort/?x=360262&y=406659&z=8&ja360=1&jh=93.0> This permission covers our street-level photographs but not the satellite images nor the tiled web map. We would ask that if you do use the images when editing OpenStreetMap, please add a "source=Já 360" tag to the changeset. Happy mapping!

Our aim is to give OpenStreetMap permission to use the Já 360 images for reference. Nothing official yet, but when we have it we'll post it here. > The GPS traces would be very nice too. While we won't be able to release the historical traces we would like to provide data in the future. Next time we drive the car around Iceland we aim to donate some interesting data to OSM. Again, I'll post to the list when it's available.

All the data shown on the Já map tiles is Samsýn's, it's not Já's to give away unfortunately. You could try asking Samsýn for permission if you haven't already. But the Já maps — all of Samsýn's maps, as far as I know — use the ISN 93 projection whereas OpenStreetMap uses WGS 84, so the maps aren't directly comparable. If you had permission you could use it for reference but using it for tracing would only introduce errors.

I guess that depends on licensing > clauses. Hi Morten, I agree, it'd be really nice to have that, but you're right to think the licence is too prohibitive. The map tiles are produced by Samsýn and they're quite strict on what we can do with them. Besides that, the tiles are projected using ISN 93, so using them as an OpenStreetMap layer would cause alignment problems. But I can think of some ways Já could help OpenStreetMap. First, I could ask for Já to give OpenStreetMap explicit permission to use the Já 360 street view photos as a data source. Second, we have GPS coordinates from the car that drove around the country taking the Já 360 photos; I could ask to be able to publish the GPS data under a permissive licence. If any of that sounds useful, let me know. M. -- Matt Riggott Programmer / Forritari https://ja.is/ ___ Talk-is mailing list Talk-is@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-is
Re: [Talk-is] Data improvements in Iceland
Hi Andrew, This is good news. I work for Já (based in Reykjavík) and we also have an interest in improving OpenStreetMap data in Iceland, although our changes have been ad hoc rather than structured. The OSM data we've used so far has focused on the road network and building geometries. As you say, from this perspective the data is mostly complete, but there are some things that could be fixed. Roughly, if we split the country into three parts we have Reykjavík and its surrounding municipalities, the rural areas and smaller towns that ring the coast, and the uninhabited central highlands. The data for Reykjavík is generally excellent, so I would think it's the rural/uninhabited areas where most improvements could be made. (Even this data is very good though.) One example we've seen in the small towns and rural areas are misaligned roads. They might only be a few metres from their real position, but when you have parallel roads in close proximity to one another this can cause GPS coordinates to place you on the wrong road. Likewise with misaligned or inaccurate building outlines — important to us since we use them to decide which points along the road network are visible from a given location. Then there's the central highlands. The gravel road network here is only accessible during the summer and many roads require a four-wheel drive if you're driving. I haven't looked much into the data here, but I have an inkling that very useful improvements could be made — surface tags especially, but also additional routes, accessibility, and road numbers. I'd love to see more detail added here. As for external data, up-to-date imports from the Staðfangaskrá and LUKR datasets would be great. The latter is the land information system for Reykjavík and surrounding municipalities, and it's extraordinarily detailed (down to the road markings painted on roads). Both datasets were imported into OSM a long time ago and I don't think they've been revisited since. I've tried and failed to keep this short, but if you want more information please get in touch via email or on this list. M. PS. While you're here, there's an error in the Reykjavík coastline in Apple Maps that's always irritated me. Compare these: - https://maps.apple.com/?ll=64.1509,-21.9142 - https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/64.1509/-21.9142 > On 23 Dec 2018, at 02:52, Andrew Wiseman wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I’m Andrew with Apple’s Maps team.
