[talk-ph] Proposal to delete the imagery coverage outlines from the OSM database
Hi guys, I propose to delete the imagery coverage outlines that are currently in the OSM database (most are tagged with the special outline=imagery tag). Since we already have an imagery coverage map[1], I think that there's no longer any need to retain these outlines in the database, especially since they clutter up editing, are inadvertently joined to streets and roads by users, and they don't correspond to anything real on the ground and therefore do not really belong in the database in the first place.. If there's new imagery, we just trace the outlines and then I can take them and merge them into the coverage map. What do you think?

Re: [talk-ph] foursquare checked-in on openstreetmap
Hi guys, As shared by maning, foursquare has switched to using OpenStreetMap data for their maps. They went with the MapBox Streets tileset which is provided by MapBox and was developed using MapBox's TileMill product. I actually find the MapBox Streets tileset gorgeous. I find a certain finesse to their cartographic style choices such as use of smaller fonts and street widths. (If you have poor eyesight, then this style is definitely not usable for you.) One major problem, though, with this tileset is that it only goes to zoom level 16 (officially; unofficially, level 17 tiles are available) (which is one of the main complaints of superusers on foursquare). Another problem is doesn't seem to be updated as often as the others (like the Mapquest Open tiles or the main OSM Mapnik tileset). Anyway, if you want to browse the MapBox Streets tileset, here's the official link: http://tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox/map/mapbox-streets On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 9:19 AM, maning sambale emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com wrote: http://blog.foursquare.com/2012/02/29/foursquare-is-joining-the-openstreetmap-movement-say-hi-to-pretty-new-maps/ -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
Re: [talk-ph] foursquare checked-in on openstreetmap
Here's a better map showing the MapBox Streets tileset and which can zoom to level 17 (it's centered on UPLB): http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/mapbox.mapbox-streets.html#17.00/14.16577/121.24221 On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 10:08 PM, Eugene Alvin Villar sea...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys, As shared by maning, foursquare has switched to using OpenStreetMap data for their maps.

[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] mapbook v0.02
Hi guys, Here's a nice tool to make those paper atlases from OSM data, though it requires that you have an OSM Mapnik setup already. -- Forwarded message -- From: Paul Norman penor...@mac.com Date: Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 1:03 PM Subject: [OSM-talk] mapbook v0.02 To: t...@openstreetmap.org I have completed an overhaul to my mapbook program, making it easier to extend and adding new features. This program, available at https://github.com/pnorman/mapbook, will create a PDF with a title page, an index map showing the coverage of the book and what page covers what area, then individual map pages, each page having arrows indicating which page is in which direction. It also includes an attribution page. An example for Vancouver, BC is available at http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/mapbook/vancouver.pdf Mapbook will work with any mapnik .xml style and can generate high-resolution maps that print well Requirements: Python 2.7 Mapnik2 Cairo Most osm mapnik styles will also require a postgis database created with osm2pgsql ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
