It seems like there are many similar initiatives in Brazil. For some reason the words of OSM havn't been spread enough, and many similar-but-not-the-same projects have popped up. Often when entering contact with such "competing" projects, they either havn't heard about OSM, or thought OSM as "just

Many of the coastlines in OSM came from an import of the PGS coastline data. It was a fantastic benefit to be able to add this coastline data to OSM, and we're better off having had it. And there are many places that have aerial imagery that is now good enough to improve on PGS coastlines. So th

Hi, I have always tried to avoid using relations (never really accepted that is better than adding route= tags to ways, and they seem to complicate things quite a lot), but I am trying to tidy up some long distance footpaths that have been done as relations. The concept of relations is fine, b

Does anyone have any experience interleaving GPS traces with video? Some friends of mine are asking about it in relation to skiing and motor-racing, but one could also imagine it being of use to mappers. Ideally I'd like to look up a "time since start of shot" and find the location. You could a

But actually we already have a Dev.osm server API that people use for samples, this maybe could be called OpenImportMap.org? and a WMS can be created in the same way that mapnik is, and it could be traced over by the community on the main OSM API. Cool, Sam On 3/27/10, SteveC wrote: > As you've

As you've probably heard the Ordnance Survey is going to open some data next week. We don't exactly know what data or what license it will be under but there's a reasonable chance it won't be importable in to OSM because either the data will be low scale or released with an incompatible license.
