Re: [talk-ph] Allowed uses of map
[http://www.gmanews.tv/story/210236/afp-eyes-transfer-of-major-service-commands-to-camp-aguinaldo] Is this an allowed use of OpenStreetMap? Is the Base map from OpenStreetMap sufficient? BTW, nice use of OSM. ;-) But yet it is non-licence-complaint use of OSM. A correct notification for this map could for example look like © OpenStreetMap contributors and GMANews.TV, CC-BY-SA This said, it is pretty obvious to me that GMA did not act in bad faith. They tried to give attribution to OSM, they just don't know how to do it the right way :P Theoretically problematic is that the license tag is missing too. So technically speaking they did not relicense their derivative work share alike. But practically I do not think that anyone wants to reuse that image anyway. Btw: License or not, it is certainly not a copyright violation if Wayne posts the link to that website in an email. :) Cheers soeren___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
[talk-ph] Garminasus A50 and Maning's OSM-Gamin-files
Hi all (particularly maning) I just installed Maning's OSM-Garmin-file conversion ([http://esambale.wikispaces.com/osmphil_garmin]) on my new A50 (the Gaminasus Android phone). And - Hooray - it works. Kudos to Maning, Garmin and Asus. The A50 acts like any other Garmin device in terms of ./map/gsuppmap.img However what I observed is that there is a huge number of placetags recognized as Cities. Not only each Brgy and subdivisions thereof, but even single buildings with names. In result the phone apparently can't handle the data flood and indexes only the first few hundred entrees for each initial letter. E.g. for M from M'lang, North Cotabato to Maharlika. Did anyone observe the same on Garmin devices? Any idea how to fix it? cheers Soeren ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Any idea how to fix it? barangays, islands and subdivisions are included in the city search (which should be called place search, IMO) Style details here: https://github.com/maning/osmphgps/blob/master/styles/default/points#L197 The City search exploded in number since we started adding subdivisions and residential polygons with names. Glad your back :).
