Re: [HOT] seeking your help on OSM data extraction tutorial

Hi Mikel, Jeff and I worked on this a while ago: http://learnosm.org/en/osm-data/ that could be revamped and enhanced. There is also at least one new QGIS plugin to get OSM data. I have not tried it yet but it would be nice to integrate if it works well as the current default one has some issues.

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

Great, thanks Maning for filing the issue and triggering the merge, I had done this pull request almost a year ago [0]. To add any extra layer, you just have to copy paste the code and change the URL. Severin, for Yahoo, it may just be because the URL has changed since they initially added it. I

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

Hi Severin, Apparently Yahoo has shut down their maps API a while ago [0] [1] (September 2011) so it won't come back. The page suggest to use Nokia instead but it requires registration to use the API [2] Cheers, Vivien [0] https://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ [1]

Re: [HOT] Droid app for mapping

[HOT] Consolidating tags for building attributes

Re: [HOT] next HOT tech chat

Hi Pierre, if you are doing your workshop with JOSM, a short term and low-tech solution is to use the caching feature of JOSM. As Paul mentioned, you have to check the terms of use of the imagery you are using to make sure you are allowed to cache it. You can find the feature in JOSM in

Re: [HOT] LearnOSM Launches with New Design

Looks great ! And it is going to make it a lot easier to contribute too. I'd just like to second Maning request about having a printer-friendly (PDF) version available on the website. First, just to have an easy access to an offline version that can be distributed without Internet access. Second,
