Re: [talk-ph] testing new OSM-Philippines Garmin routable (20090128)

2009-02-11 Per discussione Ed Garcia
Thanks for this Maning ... will of course be more than happy to help test it

But, first,  how do I get this .img file into mapsource then to my garmin
276C?  My problem is, the SD card for the 276C is a garmin specific
(non-generic) card.  And so, I could not put the .img file via a card reader
directly into the folders of the card.  I need Mapsource to upload maps to
the unit.  I am used to having exe format for the maps to load itself to
Mapsource ... how do I load a .img into mapsource?

   you're basically asking whether a PD source retains its PD status

 This is no different from the question: If the OSM database is

 X, and if I put some data in there which is PD, can someone else  
 then
 extract this from OSM as PD, or will he extract it as X?


OSM could claim a collection copyright on the data, especially if it  
exerts editorial control (in a sense it does, by choosing to present  
only the latest version of the data).  On the other hand, if you're  
only extracting PD things, then you're not violating the collection  
copyright.  OSM could claim a copyright on the XML schema in which the  
results were returned (that way lies lunacy), but if you reformatted  
the data, that copyright falls by the wayside.

A work doesn't *leave* the public domain merely because you claim that  
you have a copyright on it.  You only have a copyright on your  
creative works; not the public domain.

I may be wrong; I'm not a lawyer; this isn't legal advice.

When you start potlatch there is a welcome screen with the options  
start, play, and help. Once you are beyond that screen there is only

The concept of an editor is already too complex for most people.
This guy searches for command buttons  corresponding to it's

or change name, not  start or play or help.

The current concept is good for geeks , like you and me, and

Yes on both counts: Google MapMaker.

I personally don't want to write the editing interface that the rest of the
world uses, and it's slightly insane that somehow I've ended up doing so
(or, at least, what we have so far) - I mean, I'm not even a programmer, I'm
a magazine editor with not a whole lot of free time. If future-Potlatch were
to become _an_ editor available on the main site rather than _the_ editor,
I'd be very happy.

Of course, CloudMade might already be working on this - can anyone from CM
confirm/otherwise? Would help the rest of us in knowing what to do next.

Where did he get the location of his road from? I bet he didn't have a

Have a look at Google MapMaker. We don't have to dumb down; we can offer
both and give people the choice.

Bear in mind that Potlatch was never originally meant to be an editor
specially for beginners; it was meant to be something for _quick_ editing.
The reasons I first wrote it were that (a) JOSM wouldn't work on my machine
(OS X 10.3, so no Java 1.5), and (b) when I did use ye anciente JOSM, I
thought what the hell is this create node/create segment/create way shit? I
want something that works like Illustrator. So I don't want to dumb
Potlatch down, either.

[OSM-talk] New Map Warper

2009-02-11 Per discussione Tim Waters (chippy)
Hi,

I'd like to announce the release of the latest Map Warper image
rectifier application, designed with OSM in mind.
http://warper.geothings.net/

You may have seen or used the older application, this one has got a
few more bells and whistles, including:
* Search for maps.
* Users  MyMaps. (no need to sign up to use it)
* Image cropping.
* Control Point editing.
* Calculation of RMS errors.
* Export in different formats.
* Activity feeds.

More info: http://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/new-map-warper/

Caveats: It will rescale large images (over 1500x1500), but it also
makes things work much faster. It is ultra-beta and undergoing active
development, so expect bugs and things not to work, but for most uses
it should work fine. Let me know if you encounter any such things.
If you have any existing WMS links from the older version, they will
still work and I've also imported the existing maps, and control
points. If you sign up and want to own a map you previously
uploaded, let me know.

Features planned include serving the rectified maps as tiles, adding
tags, making maps private, making the KML export better, and
incorporating GeoRSS feeds. Again, feel free to drop me a line if you
have a good idea for a new feature, or if you'd like to hack on it.

Uses OpenLayers, GDAL, Mapserver and RubyOnRails, source can be found
http://svn2.geothings/net/mapwarper or
http://github.com/timwaters/mapwarper

Cheers,

Tim

Incidentally, what do we think about using Google's Satellite View for
helping to rectify our maps?
In the comments of Ed Parsons post
http://www.edparsons.com/2008/10/who-map-is-it-anyway/ there was a
discussion about Google's rights over things you make using their API,
and I think Ed is making it clear that using the Satellite view to
rectify images for this application would be quite OK, giving the
similar use case of adding an image to Google Earth and I'm inclined
to agree with him.

 Indeed, but his misunderstanding is even more fundamental than that.
 Where did he get the location of his road from? I bet he didn't have a

 in a Yahoo coverage area and recognising his street).

I agree, there should be some slight barrier to entry in which the

dervied data.  The reason Google's MyMaps can allow just about
anything is that it isn't added to the main map.  Even location edits
aren't pushed out until they're reviewed.  We need to decide whether

 Of course, CloudMade might already be working on this - can anyone from CM

After 0.6 is out, we're planning on working on OAuth support for the
OSM website. This will, amongst other things, help promote having
editors running on other websites without the third-party-website
asking for OSM credentials. After that I want to figure out how to get
a different version of Potlatch working on opencyclemap.org,
especially with my own set of cycling-related presets.

I think having even just multiple versions of Potlatch working on
different websites will start relieving the pressure of there being
_the_ editor. If we can get other people experimenting with Potlatch
(or even Chris Schmidt's previous Openlayers-based editors) then we'll
get more creativity, and then it's up to the community as to which one
we pick out for the main website. I don't want there to be any
compunction for online editor development being shackled to osm.org
(which potlatch is at the moment, to a great extent).

As for what I think you were really asking, we're really focussed on
our release at the moment, but we're always interested in seeing what
developments in editors there are. As well as advanced stuff (like
Matt's terracing plugin he's been working on) we're also interested in
the ultra-newbie editor stuff you're discussing here, but it's the
enabling technologies like OAuth that we're actively working
on/scheduling.

Guessing, from where the other roads are?  My thought about the OSM  
philosophy towards editing is incremental improvements, always.  If  
this would-be user put the road in a slightly wrong place, but with  
the correct road name, someone who came along afterwards with a GPS  
receiver could see that the road is misplaced, and could move it.

Probably.  Been to Wikimapia.org lately?  They now have shapes on

LIke this:
   o Click Add place
   o Move the corners of the box.
   o If you need another vertex, hover near the line and it creates a  
rubber-band line.  Move the cursor far enough away and it stops rubber-

   o Click on the vertices of the object.

Of course, their job is easier  because they're letting you trace  
Google Maps aerial photos.  Plus they have no contributor agreement  
(last time I checked), so they don't own the data they've collected.   
It's a horrible bodge, but we can definitely take some usability ideas

I thought that last summer after SOTM, there was some desire to build
a system similar to OSB but integrated to the main site and
opensource. There was even a talk about having a hack weekend (or

It probably disappeared due to the pressing issues linked to API 0.6.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM on The Reg

2009-02-11 Per discussione Hurricane McEwen
I agree with Gert on the fact that 'the concept is good for geeks' but  
it IS time to create a user interface for the rest of the world. I  
have held a few mapping parties, trying to get more hikers, cyclists,  
retired folk who love maps, involved with OSM but with the barrier  
that OSM isn't user friendly for these folks.


One small example on Potlatch would be the light grey on white  
background-- for most, this gives the look of 'inactive'. Also, the  
icons are small and it's not 'obvious' that one must click on the car  
icon to change it to a person, to a boat (etc.) to change to type of  
feature you are tagging.


Yes! There is the wiki and it is very, very helpful... but also  
remember that the average attention span is about 2.2 seconds, and if  
it isn't seriously simple, we lose people...


There's more from where this comes... and I'd be happy to pass it on  
to the OSM community or to the appropriate person! I would love to be  
involved with helping build a great 'user friendly' editor for the  
'rest of the world' :)

 I'd like to announce the release of the latest Map Warper image
 rectifier application, designed with OSM in mind.
 http://warper.geothings.net/

Firstly thanks for working on this, it's a very useful application
which makes it very easy to use third-party bitmap maps to import into
OSM.

 You may have seen or used the older application, this one has got a
 few more bells and whistles, including:
* Search for maps.
* Users  MyMaps. (no need to sign up to use it)
* Image cropping.
* Control Point editing.
* Calculation of RMS errors.
* Export in different formats.
* Activity feeds.

 More info: http://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/new-map-warper/

 Caveats: It will rescale large images (over 1500x1500), but it also
 makes things work much faster. It is ultra-beta and undergoing active
 development, so expect bugs and things not to work, but for most uses
 it should work fine. Let me know if you encounter any such things.
 If you have any existing WMS links from the older version, they will
 still work and I've also imported the existing maps, and control
 points. If you sign up and want to own a map you previously
 uploaded, let me know.

 Features planned include serving the rectified maps as tiles, adding
 tags, making maps private, making the KML export better, and
 incorporating GeoRSS feeds. Again, feel free to drop me a line if you
 have a good idea for a new feature, or if you'd like to hack on it.

These new features are very useful, especially the ones to do with
user accounts, it's nice to have a list of your maps instead of just
adding them to one giant pool.

I think the map rectifier is a bit less intuitive than in the previous
version. I used to be able to double click on either map which would
add a new rectification point and then do the same with the other map,
but now one has to switch between the Add point/Move point/Move map
tools to move around the map. This has the advantage of being able to
double click on the map in move mode without adding points (and
probably something else I'm missing). But switching between the
different modes took me bit longer using this method.

Also, being able to download GeoTiff from the application is a very
useful feature, but does it also support GeoTiff uploads? That would
enable moving maps between installations and using this as a easy to
set up WMS for misc GeoTiff files.

The biggest disadvantage of this tool is still being limited by the
size of maps you can upload. I have several ~6000x~5000 pixel maps I'd
like to have access to over WMS, each around 12 MB[1]. Is there any
reason for this limitation other than preventing the application from
taking over resources on your server? Or is it a limitation of some
library you're working with?

 Incidentally, what do we think about using Google's Satellite View for
 helping to rectify our maps?

Yes, I'd agree with you there, the reasoning is that people tend to

At the moment, I don't think it likes geotiff files that have already
been rectified, but you could try with a small one... Anyhow, the
approach I would take is to strip out any original geo tags from the
image, and so you would have to add a few control points and warp it
again.
It's not really meant to be a WMS host for ready made GeoTiff files,
but I may put a simple upload-a-tif-and-host-it service anyhow, as you
are not the first person to ask for this.
 (JOSM import support for reading geotiffs would rock).

 The biggest disadvantage of this tool is still being limited by the
 size of maps you can upload. I have several ~6000x~5000 pixel maps I'd

 taking over resources on your server? Or is it a limitation of some
 library you're working with?

Yes, this is Dreamhost, they have a script that will terminate
processes using a lot of CPU or RAM, so I can add a couple of
restrictions (file size and image dimensions). You may like to have a
look at another deploy over at http://warper.freemap.in for larger
files. We're going to be warping 800mb tifs soon... here, the main
limitation is that you can expect http timeouts for very large
uploads.

I had never played with it, so I gave it a quick try, and it's  
probably a bit easier to use than potlatch. Here's what they say in  
their help page:

http://sites.google.com/site/mapmakeruserhelp/making-maps

But I think that the way it works, while good for beginners, is  
probably slow and frustrating for advanced users, and this is where  
potlatch probably surpasses gmm. I'm pretty sure that offering a  
beginner and advanced users interface could be done and some

I had a look at Google Mapmaker as well (I'd not used it before either). 
  Frankly, it seems a bit pants:

When trying to use it it asked me to Please zoom in to browse features 
in the current map view but on the same screen said We are sorry, but 
we don't have maps at this zoom level for this region.  Try zooming out 
for a broader look.  Clearly something is wrong, but from reading the 
screen I've no idea what.

The two strange buttons below the browse text on the map don't seem to 
do anything - presumably nothing has been added locally or I'm not 
allowed to edit here for some reason?  There's an on-screen link that 
says 160+ countries editable in Google Map Maker which goes to a page 
which lists about 100 (but not the UK or US), but DOES list them on a 
slippy map above?  Attempting to outline a feature (Pride Park in Derby, 
England, FWIW) gives a failed to create feature error and a search of 
the site for that text offers no help.

I presume what's happening is that they're using Google Mapmaker where 
they know that their existing maps are a bit rubbish - a quick check of 
Bulawayo suggests that that might be the case.  That certainly seemed to 
have more roads and features than the OSM map of Bulawayo did - or at 
least it did until the browser page froze with a loading... message.

Maybe something more akin to openstreetbugs plus a simple guided way to 
add one feature at a time should be integrated into OSM, but I wouldn't 
use GMM as an example except of what not to do!

 Maybe it's because I read the initial blog post on the Google Blog about it
a while ago, but it seemed clear to me that they only let you create map
features in countries that are listed on the page of supported areas. The US
and UK are definitely not in those areas.

In the areas that are supported, the user interface is quite abstract, but
once you get the hang of it I could see how it would be very quick. One
thing that I'd like to see in any newbie-editor for OSM is a create road
button that would ask for road name and type. The user could then expand
into advanced options if they wanted to apply speed limit or what not.

Their review process is pretty interesting, too. In some areas, any single
change has to be reviewed by at least 2 people -- one of which is supposed
to have local knowledge of the area.

 The concept of an editor is already too complex for most people.
 This guy searches for command buttons  corresponding to it's
 first desire:  add a road, or add a cycleway, or change road,

Then let them add road (highway=road) and then let the geeks figure
out if it is secondary, residential, unclassified or whatever...

Maybe add some complete novice mode in potlatch, with things like
add road, add river ... I guess no more than 15 functions ... and
perhaps make it a bit foolproof, so users won't accidentally move
existing roads by dragging ways/nodes elsewhere when clicking on the
map furiously. Maybe the last button in row would be to enter expert
mode, aka old potlatch

Perhaps change the created_by to Potlatch novice mode or alike for
data created in the novice mode, so we can spot bugs created by
inexperienced users easier.

[OSM-legal-talk] Okay to trace from public-domain USGS DOQs?

2009-02-11 Per discussione Russ Nelson
Is it okay to trace into OSM from the public-domain USGS Topographic  
and DOQ (Digital Orthographic Quads) aerial imagery?  I think the  
answer there should be clearly yes.

Now let me ask a question whose answer I think is still yes.  What  
if those tiles came from Microsoft's Terraserver-USA WMS service 
(http://Terraservice.net 
) ?  Specifically, these two URLs:
http://terraservice.net/ogcmap.ashx?version=1.1.1request=GetMapLayers=DOQStyles=SRS=EPSG:4326format=image/jpeg;
http://terraservice.net/ogcmap.ashx?version=1.1.1request=GetMapLayers=DRGStyles=SRS=EPSG:4326format=image/jpeg;

I'm not a lawyer, but here's the theory that I think applies:

There are no Microsoft trademarks in the WMS images, so trademark law  
does not apply (the tiles are marked USGS).

There is no opportunity for contract formation -- not even a  
clickthrough -- so contract law does not apply.

Thus, we need consider only copyright law.  You can only claim a  
copyright on a creative work.  You cannot claim a copyright on a  
public-domain work to which you have applied no creativity.  Westlaw  
has managed to claim a copyright on their page numbering scheme for  
public-domain law (they do this because legal citations make reference  
to page numbers; this is their franchise).  Microsoft may possibly  
make a similar claim that the exact tiling offset they have chosen is  
not merely the natural tiling one would pick for tiles in a grid, but  
instead they have chosen one method out of many others for its grace  
and beauty.  I suspect, instead, that zero is at zero, making any  
claims of creativity suspect.  It's possible that the tiles are warped  
in a creative manner.  I know of nobody who has ever noticed that; and  
it would be noticeable.  It's technically feasible that they have  
modified the tiles by color-shifting, but there's no evidence of that.

But let's say that that theory is wrong, and Microsoft has a strong  
copyright claim to the tiles.  I'm not proposing that anybody  
redistribute, or even publicly perform the tiles.  I'm proposing that  
people use the tiles to extract facts about the world embodied by the  
original public-domain USGS works.  No portion of whatever theoretical  
changes Microsoft has made will be carried through.  The tiles, once  
examined, are discarded, and no portion of them is incorporated into  
OSM.

But let's say that THAT theory is also wrong (belt  suspenders).   
Microsoft has given an implicit license to use the works for analysis,  
criticism, and commentary.  But that is exactly what OSM users are  
doing.  Tagging is commentary.  If there is any creativity to be  
found in the tiles, then the analysis will turn to criticism.  All of  
these are protected uses of a copyrighted work.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Okay to trace from public-domain USGS DOQs?

2009-02-11 Per discussione Frederik Ramm
Russ,

   you're basically asking whether a PD source retains its PD status 
even if channeled through a number of probably non-PD services.

This is no different from the question: If the OSM database is licensed 
X, and if I put some data in there which is PD, can someone else then 
extract this from OSM as PD, or will he extract it as X?

A co-worker of yours, CloudMade's very own Andy Allan, had this to say 
about the topic:

I'm not sure what makes you think that any data you take from the
OpenStreetMap database could possibly not be covered by the CC-BY-SA
license. [...] if a contributor (including bulk uploaders) is/are 
willing to *also* put a copy of their data into the public domain, then 
you should enquire from them to receive a copy of their data duly
licensed [...] just because vast amounts of OSM data came from TIGER 
doesn't mean that any of that data in OSM is still public domain.

(quotes from 
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-general/2008-November/73.html)

I am leaning towards your interpretation of things; PD stuff remains PD 
even if conveyed through non-PD means. However, be aware that if you 
extract information from USGS data as conveyed by Microsoft and still 
treat it as public domain, you would also have to agree to other people 
extracting TIGER information as conveyed by OpenStreetMap.

(Also: What if Microsoft insert Easter Eggs and claim they're a work of 
art?)

Bye
Frederik

2009-02-11 Per discussione Someoneelse
 ... But, are there any
 elements in their user interface that are nice to have (if they work
 right)?

I didn't get that far, to be honest.

If it helps, the things that I found confusing about Potlatch 6 months 
or so ago were the same things that have been discussed here before - 
where's the save button and what do those icons without any text 
next to them on screen do?  That was the point that following the link 
labelled help seemed to be a really good idea...

One thing that might be useful would be some sort of My OSM or a 
saved play mode feature* - add stuff in a basic editor, but don't 
commit it to be part of the main map until you're happy that you haven't 
messed something up.  That way someone needn't be scared of accidentally 
deleting stuff by pressing the wrong button.  A combination of finger 
trouble at my end and slow response from the server once caused me to 
delete most of the A9 in Scotland once - luckily I found undo before 
anyone fell into the sea, but it could have been embarrassing.

I can imagine how something like Google Mapmaker might be useful for 
tracing stuff from Google satellite photos.  The OSM equivalent I 
suppose would be tracing from Yahoo aerial photos, but at least where I 
live that's only useful for the largest features (woods, mainly). 
NPE's useful up to a point, but locally colliery closures, railway 
removals, opencast mining and new industrial estates means that it's 
just another historical document. So, to a lesser extent, is the local 
OS Explorer map - that has a few large areas of blank space on it where 
a former colliery site has been opencasted or land restored.  Mind you, 
it was the fact that OS maps weren't reliable locally that lead me to 
store stuff as GPS POIs, which turn lead to OSM.

*No, I've no idea how to implement this either.

[OSM-talk] Any oziexplorer CE users in here? Help required

2009-02-11 Per discussione Tanveer Singh
Hi,
I am currently trying out oziexplorer on my my c320
It loads up fine, runs fine, but there is a slight problem.
It does not load up the maps automatically.
I basically use taho.pl to download multiple map and png files, after
which I use the img2oxzf3 script to convert the date into the format
the oziexplorerCE can understand.
After that I copy the maps to the maps folder in oziexplorer installation.
After that I fire up oziexplorer, and get gps fix, but even in moving
map mode it does not pick up the required map. I have to manually load
the map file for the said area, and its a tad big annoying. from the
oziexplorer docs it should be automatically be picking up the required
map file as I move across the regions.
Anybody got around to that?
If anybody among you is successful in doing so, please let me know the steps.
I don't own oziexplorer, and am not planning to buy the PC version,
but only the Windows CE version. So if your steps involve just stuff
like taho,pl and img2ozfx3 script etc., it will be great!

You can now submit Nodes (POIs) directly from AndNav2 to the OSM-Server.

If you didn't yet know, we also support FreeThePostCode and

 There is a MapView-Component tightly built inside of Android, which

Voor zover ik weet gaat het er om dat de data vrij blijft, maar dat
software die die data gebruikt niet ook vrij wordt. Daar is niks mis mee.
LGPL-achtig, zeg maar. Ik heb zelf wel eens een licentieverklaring voor de
KDE desktopicons geschreven om dat te bereiken.

Een licentie er door heen duwen is wel twijfelachtig.

Een heel lange tijd geleden is het in een gesprek met AND ter sprake
gekomen. Een zinnige verandering zullen ze niet tegenhouden. Ze zullen wel
even een blik op het eindresultaat willen werpen.

 Volgens mij loopt het al jaren, het laatste dat ik er over gehoord heb is
 dat er een rechtenexpert/advocaat (liep dat niet via de FSF?) naar zou
 gaan kijken.

Volgens mij had de FSF er nu niets mee te maken.


 Ik ben er niet helemaal in thuis maar denk dat CC-BY-SA het professioneel

Het is natuurlijk niet zo dat Cloudmade, OSMF, big brother of anderen 
afgelopen weekend besloten hebben deze licentie verandering erdoor te 
drukken. Dit gaat al meer? dan een jaar terug. Henk Hoff, onze 
Nederlandse (en meer natuurlijk!) vertegenwoordiger in de OSMF heeft 
hierover tijdens de OSM dag in Baarn September vorig jaar een 
presentatie gehouden waarbij, naar mijn idee, toch het merendeel wel 
voordelen zag in de nieuwe licentie.

Laten we dus niet meteen reageren als een kwade stier op een rode lap.

Het is net als de GPL voor eigen gebruik mag je *alles* doen, wil je wat 
verpatsen of publiceren dan moet je je aan CC-BY-SA houden. Daar is toch 
niets op tegen? Het idee van BBC dat een complete uitzending CC-BY-SA 
zou moeten worden vind ik overdreven, het zou slecht gaan om de 
verandering van de OSM data. (projectie/kleurgebruik etc.)

Simone is 'consulting member' van de OSMF. En de discussie is in Italie 
wat heftiger, omdat zij nogal wat data te importeren hebben.


 Original Message 
Dear Andy Robinson secretary of the OpenStreetMap Foundation,
and dear all the board and board-at-large/team of OSMF,

We are writing on behalf of many Italian contributors to
openstreetmap, there is some fear of uncertainly.

People are concerned about the lack of information on the
new license, which is is said will be revealed by the Foundation in
the coming weeks.

Since this is a fundamental change in the relationship between the
contributors and the Project, we believe that the license that has
been drafted by the legal team should be submitted to the same
userbase so they can analyze it carefully and highlight any problems
that might have not been considered by the team itself.

Furthermore, under Italian law, a non-translated licence, one that is
not translated into the language of the Country is not valid and it
may subsequently be challenged in court at any time.

In recent months, the silence that has accompanied the license has
given rise to many doubts. The license is a fundamental stone of the
project and we wish not to hurry to come to a conclusion, and lose
sight of its true purpose. Which is to help OSM grow better in the
future.

We ask you then to make the draft public now, as of the latest
revision, so that it can be translated at least in the major languages
(please note that in many European legislations only a contract signed
in a language known to the person signing it has a legal status), at
least French, German and Spanish. Then Italian, Chinese, Russian and
Indian.

This publication will be allowed in the national mailing lists for one
month after which the comments are collected and analyzed for further
drafting of the license.

The OpenStreetMap foundation should be an example of transparency and
it seems rather obscure lately, giving out the impression that it
wants to keep everything hidden up to the last second.

Additionally we would like to see financial records of the Foundation
published on the website, as well a list of the OpenStreeMap
Foundation members.

tante Pos (tegenwoordig TPG, als ik alle naamswijzigingen heb
meegekregen) heeft onlangs heel veel brievenbussen verplaatst (in
ieder geval bij mij in de buurt).

Zullen we ze een vriendelijk mailtje sturen met de vraag of dat zij
coordinaten hebben van al hun brievenbussen, zodat we in 1 keer alle
oude data eruit kunnen gooien en vervolgens vervangen door de
officiele versies?

We kunnen dan ook als persbericht uit laten gaan dat TPG ons de
locaties van die dingen heeft geschonken, misschien dat er dan meer
bedrijven zich gaan realiseren dat het verstrekken van dit soort data
een positief effect (lees: 'gratis reclame') kan hebben...

 Hallo!

 Heute habe ich auf der Karte von Bergisch-Gladbach einen Punkt gesehen, der
 unschönerweise so beschriftet war:

 Kieser
Training
 51465
Bergisch
Gladbach

 Nachdem ich das korrigiert habe (was sollen die Adressdaten im
 name-Attribut, wenn sie schon in addr:* stehen?), fand ich noch weitere
 Nodes, zuletzt über 70 in germany.osm, bei den der Name Kieser Training
 um den Ortsnamen, meist aber auch um die Postleitzahl ergänzt ist.
 Interessanterweise haben anscheinend die meisten davon auch das Attribut
 created_by:fixbot (mit Datum 15.9.2008).

 Hat jemand die Möglichkeit, das automatisch zu reparieren? 

Natürlich ist das möglich das automatisch zu fixen.

 Und wäre das okay?

Ich finde das im Name Tag schon etwas mehr stehen darf/sollte als nur 

Kieser Training

in Hamburg gibt es z.B. mehrere davon und die heißen dann 
Kieser Training Hamburg Harburg oder Kieser Training Hamburg-Altona .


Es ist nicht wirklich klar, wofür das Name Tag gebraucht wird, klar wenn du 
eine Karte auf Zoom 17 siehst, willst du vermutlich nur wissen, das dort 
ein Fitnes-Studio ist.

Aber wenn ich eine Deutschlandweite (Hamburgweite) Karte mit allen 
Fittnesstudios anzeige, möchte ich den Namen evtl. genauer haben.

Mein Vorschlag wäre, das wir das automatisch fixen, und zwar mit:

name=Kieser Training
long_name=Kieser Training 51465 Bergisch Gladbach

alternativ:

name=Kieser Training
int_name=Kieser Training 51465 Bergisch Gladbach

Dann muss man das für die Anzeige nicht mühsam zusammensuchen (Info über den 
Stadtteil steht ja leider nicht in der Adresse).


Die Kieser Betriebe sind im übrigen fast alle (bis auf 4 oder so) rechtlich 
selbständig, es müsste also vermutlich offiziell: Kieser Training Bergsich 
Gladbach GmbH oder sowas heißen. Aber ich finde das müssen wir nicht in der 
Karte stehen haben.

BTW: Wenn du wissen möchtest was der fixbot geändert hat, schau die die 
Histroy zu dem Node an. Dann weißt du auch, wer den Node ursprünglich 
angelegt hat.

Hi!

BroadwayLamb schrieb:
 Also wie man aus der unschuldigen englischen Vokabel wood einen Urwald 
 ableiten kann, wird mir immer schleierhaft bleiben.

Das dürfte weniger an der eigentlichen Bedeutung des Wortes liegen, als 
am Gegensatz zu der nachdrücklich vertretenen Alternative landuse=forest 
und der resultierenden Hin- und Hertaggerei. Wenn man mal eine der 
Animationen mit der OSM-Entwicklung in Deutschland anschaut, sieht man 
die Wälder meist schön zwischen hell- und dunkelgrün flackern.

Für mich ist die wesentliche Eigenschaft, daß in einem Wald Bäume 
stehen. Und genau das sagt natural=wood eigentlich aus. Daß in dem Wald 
Holz gemacht wird, würde ich persönlich überhaupt nicht taggen, weil es 
der Standardfall in Deutschland ist und somit eine Null-Information. 
Ungefähr so als wenn ich alle Bundesstraßen mit motorcar=yes taggen 
würde. :-)
Echte Urwälder ohne Nutzung dagegen liegen meist in einem 
Landschaftsschutzgebiet (landuse=conservation) oder Naturschutzgebiet, 
das ist dann wieder eine relevante Information.

Meine einfachere Weltsicht findest Du auf der Wanderkarte wieder. Es 
wird überhaupt kein Unterschied zwischen wood und forest gemacht. Nur 
Schutzgebiete werden mit grüner Schraffur angezeigt.

Finde es aber in dem Zusammenhang sehr amüsant, daß landuse=forest mit 
großer Genauigkeit verfolgt und umgetaggt wird. Aber alle Wasserflächen 
sind natural=water: Fischteiche, Stauseen, Kiesgruben, Baggerseen, 
Rückhaltebecken...  :-)

Re: [Talk-de] Umstellungen im Vorlagenmenü des JOSM

2009-02-11 Per discussione Gerrit Lammert
Ich verstehe die ganze Diskussion nicht.
natural=wood bedeutet: Da stehen Bäume (die nicht aus Plastik sind)
landuse=forest bedeutet: Dieses Gelände wird als Forst genutzt.

D.h. in 90% aller Fälle treten (in D) beide Tags zusammen auf. Das ist 
völlig OK, da sie ganz unterschiedliche Dinge beschreiben.

Das ist wie highway=secondary; surface=paved.
Das wird auch in 90% der Fälle gemeinsam auftreten

Man könnte sagen, dass forest wood impliziert, außer gerade kahl 
geschlagene Lichtungen fällt mir nix ein, wo das nicht korrekt wäre.
Aber bitte nicht wood als Urwald sehen und als Gegesatz zu forest 
begreifen. Das macht schon logisch keinen Sinn, da sie andere keys haben...

Das ist die konservative Deutung der rechtlichen Situation. Die Frage die

Karte und pflege die daten bei OSM ein.

Ist die Schöpfungshöhe der Orhtorektifizierung der Bilder nun tatsächlich
noch so hoch, dass mir der Rechteinhaber der Luftbilder verbieten kann was
ich mit meinen Daten mache? Sprich werden meine Daten zum abgeleiteten Werk
oder eben nicht?

Und da genau liegt nämlich der Knackpunkt, genau das ist nämlich IMO

Hi!

From: Johannes H?sing johan...@huesing.name
 zum Thema: wie viel deutsch. Schnelle Karte ist f?r mich so ein
 Begriff den ich lieber nicht ?bersetzen w?rde.

 F?r mich nicht, da ich auch mit Slippy Map nichts anfangen kann.

Sorry, aber SlippyMap ist keine Tätigkeit oder ein Objekt, sondern ein
Kunstname für ein Darstellungs- und Bedienungskonzept. Übersetzen
bringt gar nichts außer neue Vokabeln im OSM-Universum. Einem gewissen
Fachslang wirst Du in jeder Thematik begegnen. Ich hatte bis vor einem
Jahr weder etwas von 'Slippy Map' noch von 'Abgeltungssteuer' gehört.
Mittlerweile habe ich ganz passable Vorstellungen davon, was es
jeweils bedeutet. Ich habe gelernt. Menschen tun so etwas.

Ich wage sogar die Behauptung, dass fast alle OSMler schon einmal eine
dialoggeführte Anwendung bedient haben. Solche Menschen erwarten in
einem Öffnen-Dialog auch hinter einem Knopf mit der Aufschrift
'gugumug' ein Werkzeug zur Auswahl des zu Öffnenden oder Optionen, die
irgendetwas mit dem Öffnen zu tun haben. Und was passiert, wenn man
draufklickt? Eine Karte. Die sieht aus wie bei openstreetmap.de. Ob
die sich genauso bedienen lässt? ...
