[OSM-talk] using walking papers where some data may not be used for OSM

Hi, Below is a possible use-case scenario we are planning to use OSM and walking-papers [1]. A rural health organization deploys community health workers to monitor household/individual health issues within far flung communities. They want to develop a an internal geospatial dbase of its benefic

Re: [OSM-talk] Released: OpenMaps for iOS v4.0. An idea how to increase OSM awareness.

Serge, OpenMaps for iOS application works directly with the OpenStreetMap API. We don't store any data on intermediary servers. Every user that makes an edit to OSM via the app does it with their own OSM user. Hope this clears things up. Best regards, Zsombor Szabo IZE, Ltd. On Thu, Dec 16, 201

Re: [OSM-talk] Released: OpenMaps for iOS v4.0. An idea how to increase OSM awareness.

I think it's great that we have a large and diverse ecosystem of applications in both the web, desktop and mobile space, all wanting to use OSM and in the case of OpenMaps and others, wanting to help close that feedback loop. This is why Free Software and Free Data projects are so valuable, provid

Hi I'm one of the admins of this map. I'm not sure how many languages we're able to render without breaking the server down but I added gcf. It'll take some time until the server restarted and the tiles get rendered. Try to access it tomorrow or so:

[OSM-talk] Released: OpenMaps for iOS v4.0. An idea how to increase OSM awareness.

Today we released OpenMaps version 4.0 in Apple's App Store. It is a free map app based on OpenStreetMap and we believe it is the best. It is as slick as the built-in (Google) Maps application and if you ever used Maps on an iPhone you know that it's not a little thing to say. But this is not the

Re: [OSM-talk] Explicit tagging of name language

The idea wasn't presented properly. The names were supposed to be name:[language abbreviation] not lang:[language abbreviation]. 'lang:official' was supposed to be placed in "area wrappers" but could be misunderstood to mean on every object. The city (or the country) would have lang:official,

Re: [OSM-talk] Explicit tagging of name language

You could, if you're worried about multiple languages, do it in this way: All names would have lang:[language abbreviation] tag and the value being the name in that language. The official language(s) for each country would be defined by a tag named lang:official and the value being a string of
