Any one else managed to document one of these? http://osm.org/go/uNwf9zFM-- It took a full two hour walk from where I parked to visit each tower and get back. John ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org

Re: [talk-au] Cycleway/footway/path

That ain't going to happen - far too much effort involved to do that properly everywhere on every shared path. John --- On Sat, 8/8/09, Roy Wallace waldo000...@gmail.com wrote: For width, use width=*. ___ Talk-au mailing list

Re: [talk-au] Cycleway/footway/path

When new to an area, what would lead me to take one path over several alternatives. I don't really want to ride them all before I know which one cyclists usually use. John --- Roy Wallace waldo000...@gmail.com wrote: highway=path; bicycle=designated; foot=yes. Why isn't that a good idea? All

Re: [talk-au] Cycleway/footway/path

At  the moment I'm not trying to define anything.  But a shared path that's frequently used by cyclists means it's used as a cycleway. And that';s worth knowing. John ---  Roy Wallace waldo000...@gmail.com wrote: Are you suggesting that a cycleway should be defined as the path that cyclists

Re: [talk-au] Cycleway/footway/path

Re: [talk-au] Cycleway/footway/path

Re: [talk-au] Railtrails

Re: [talk-au] newbie Potlatch question

Thanks Jeff and Ross. I'm using Fedora 10 Linux on a 1000H EeePC, and I've already had a go at installing josm.  But It isn't clear to me yet just which Java package(s) I need to install first.  I'm working on that in slow-time. I've got Merkaartor installed, but I'm far from confident with

Re: [talk-au] newbie Potlatch question

Thanks.  I've now installed Sun JRE. But JOSM doesn't work for me.  A JOSM screen comes up, sometimes with a menu bar at the top, and sometimes not.  Which ever it is, it doesn't respond to clicks or keystrokes and has to be aborted (not responding). Luckily, JOSM-WebStart (
