A reference station is really just a receiver that doesn't move and is
well surveyed in.
You can use a reference station if you have one close

The idea is a 'poi multiplexer system' to manage a list of pois.
Each poi might be 'linked' to an osm-object or kept private.
Its easy to change tags of any or all of pois in the list, syncing to
osm if linked.
Pois may be imported from csv or xapi

Hi Joe,
There are tricks there, such as egg-balancing on watching
the water go down the sink in different directions - supposedly induced by
the coriolis effect.
This tells you all you need to know; it's not science, it's just a
tourist spectacle.
I once kept a tally on my bathroom mirror t

What, in your mind, is "the real equator"?
The Karlsruhe Zoo, not far from where I live,

A positive implication: all the mapping that is done to higher accuracies
(<10m) is meaningful.

Yes SA was turned off. This is where 'they' deliberately added a random
offset to the position, so that it would 'confuse' consumer grade
receivers.
My understanding (which may not be correct) is that civilian GPS units are
supposedly now as accurate as the military units in terms of latitude and
longitude, but are deliberately much less accurate at altitude readings.

Not too long ago I was in Ecuador at the "Mitad del Mundo" and noticed a
fairly significant discrepancy between my own GPS and an official marker.
The Mitad del Mundo is a monument setup to mark the equator, after which
Ecuador is named. Obviously the equator is a line, but this is a single
monum

They are still present on the server, I think, but no longer linked from the
map. I figured it would be better to try and focus the project on one thing,
Dear list,
I am trying to use Osm-in-a-box to keep a synchronized Postgis DB.
I am doing a little test with the data of Iceland which should be about 0.06 %
of the whole OSM database (size of iceland.osm.bz2 is about 8 MB) and it seems
to be very slow (took 2 hours)
The command was:
sudo ./os
I uploaded a few sets of two images in the US a while ago. Were these
deleted in the upgrade because they weren't panoramas?

Great, I love this idea. I'm working on mapping the trails of my
community, and have wanted to create panoramas as I go. I'm in the
USA, so I can't use OTV as is, but maybe in the future as it matures
it will expand to the globe or I could setup OTV just for my area.
Keep up the good work!

I had a problem with the last 2 planet-files with possibly some
antarctic borders that were connected to a Node (0,0) (maybe a similar
issue as the southpole problem mentioned here a while ago). You can
also see this problem in some of the current mapnik tiles, e.g.:

I have used josm since I started with osm but still end up clicking fairly
randomly on these icons. A menu would be way better.
