Re: [OSM-talk-be] New user

Hi Nyamuk, I added you to my gmail contacts. This normally means you can see when I'm online, if you want to do a Google Hangout session. I'm always ready to help people to get started with JOSM, which is the only viable option once you start working with route relations. Polyglot 2014-03-04 6:

Hi, Welcome to OSM! I hope you will find OSM to be an open and fun project. Don't hesitate to ask questions and talk to other mappers. For checking some of the data there are also some great maps here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ITO_Map More in detail: http://www.itoworld.com/map/124 (

Re: [OSM-talk-be] New user

The maps on osm.org do not show the max speed, lane information, max height, speed camera's and so forth. In this presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F69PAR44JF3pBE1mBuv-8VaNmkyIOxxQhcAYEM_PuWo/edit#slide=id.pyou'll find a number of links to maps that show some of that information.

thanks Marc, Wow! awsome stuff !! A few things I'm really interested in: 1 - Walking & cycling networks (field surveys required) 2 - For car navigation I would suggest max speeds, lane information, access rights (all of which requires field surveys) For 1, preferably the cycling part; 2 could b

Re: [OSM-talk-be] New user

Hallo Nyamuk, welcome to the world of OSM. Good to see that you are already using/trying JOSM, that's what many experienced users here are using as well. There is some Potlatch knowledge available as well. There are a number of "projects" going on: - Import of addresses & buildings in Brussels -

Andre, What do you mean by adding a POI without updating the map? I've never used Osmand and have troubles imagining how that works. It is possible to indicate how the update was made. If you open the last changeset of the user in question ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20086153) you wi

Hi André, Apparently the edits were made with iD, so OSMAND is not to blame after all. I jumped to conclusion due to his nick name. That being said, it may still be a good idea for OSMAND to only create notes. Since the user is using iD, it's strange he is not responding to his messages, he can o

Could it be a bug in OSMAND? What I think this user is doing, is simply say. There is a speed camera here and such. It should have become a note, instead of a node. Of course, OSMAND should also relay messages we send to a user. Jo 2014/1/20 Ben Abelshausen > On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 1:41 PM, G

If, while passing, you can reach or catch the one who passes time bulk changing "rue" to "Rue" without changing the house addresses, and probably other such niceties, put him in the same bag. Mustn't be a newcomer, though, 'cause I think I remember that his name is "Mercator" =-O Not plan

I think Kreatos has the combination of address data and coordinates. Those coordinates are probably derived from a source which is not compatible with our license, but we only need them as a hint. We don't want to use those coordinates verbatim. Of course it would help to know in which building the

Hi Marc I talked about this yesterday evening on a meeting of the Future Group. The good thing: this is definitely on the list of stuff which needs to be worked upon. The bad thing: it's not a simple thing to solve. One of the major problems is that address data is missing on a large scale in OSM.
