[OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - railway=platform

2008-09-05 Thread Andreas Barth
Hi, I'm proposing to add railway=platform for platforms of stations. Currently, we only mark the station as such on a node. However, in reality, people are using platforms from different directions, and the platforms have one or more exits where other ways connect. Please see http://wiki.openstr

[OSM-talk] SVG / PNG map icons

2008-09-05 Thread Brian Quinion
Hi, I'm currently working with a local designer on a set of svg icons for our company to use on our rendering of the maps. The goal is to have a standard set of icons in svg in a consistent style tagged for easy colour substitution. These are released as Public Domain as of now but are still a w

Re: [OSM-talk] cycle transit tagging (also applies to Motorail)

2008-09-05 Thread Andy Allan
Much better to use cycle route relations to show it's a route, and then an access tag (bicycle = dismount, or similar) to show the specific manner of transportation. There's plenty of London Cycle Network sections that are part of a route relation whilst the way is tagged bicycle=no[1], and a suffi

I'll give my public thanks to Steve here, not only for collecting the award but also for the original mapnik layer on which the cycle map was originally based. And of course, the thousands of people who have contributed directly or indirectly to the map itself, which would be a bit barren otherwis

Hi, Been reading all the discussions for a while with growing frustration. I find my self mostly agreeing with the CC-By-SA license but I do wish there was a way to easily provide exceptions to those organisations wishing to make good use of the data but having problems with the license. So my q

It is only loops that you need ordered elements for, for directional elements you can add 'forward' and 'backward' roles. Check out some stuff here. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Routes http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/archives/2008/08/17/hill-colouring-on-th e-cycle-map/ H

Re: [OSM-talk] Coastline?

2008-09-05 Thread Martijn van Oosterhout
The coastline checker as a side effect produces the shapefiles for mapnik. The reason is that the coastline in the database isn't a geometry, but a collection of ways. The checker joins all the segments into several million node linestrings and then chops it into peices again and makes shapes mapn

Thanks for that. The proposal does remind me of the problem in that we can't create a relationship with an ordered list of members so it is not possible to define a bus route that has a loop in it (which does happen). There does seem to be a general need for an option to associate and ordered list

Opencyclemap has received a Commended Award in the British Cartographic Society annual awards. It was in the Avenza-sponsored Electronic Mapping category. Last night I was a guest of the BCS at their annual gala dinner and accepted the award on behalf of Andy Allan, who was not able to be there.
