[OSM-talk] mapbook v0.02

I have completed an overhaul to my mapbook program, making it easier to extend and adding new features. This program, available at https://github.com/pnorman/mapbook, will create a PDF with a title page, an index map showing the coverage of the book and what page covers what area, then individual

Wow, how extremely useful! Thank you, Andreas. I implemented the deep link and you can see it on the following map, which I had originally linked to (it's lower down along the right sidebar): http://mapknitter.org/map/view/mestia I'll probably style it more like a button so that people see it. I

[OSM-talk] Inaccurate GPS location

After reading a news article about the effect the current solar storm is expected to have on GPS accuracy, I decided to see where my cell phone's GPS thought I currently was. Usually it is fairly accurate, but tonight it thought I was about 12 miles from my actual location. I tried three diffe

Hi Jeff! I don't have much insight into the Potlatch2 code myself, but you can easily call Potlach2 with your own coordinates and TMS layers and I'm using that feature a lot. For example http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=48.3184&lon=14.3121&zoom=17&tileurl=http://tms3857.kartenwerkstatt.at/t
