I think that needs testing. Also, it should be pointed out that it is using an approximation for calculating the tileX and tileY. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 22, 2013, at 10:18 AM, Peter Barth osm-t...@won2.de wrote: Hi, Arnie Shore schrieb: All, given a coordinates range and zoom range,

I have heard a few talks recently on tiled vector data. I am sure you could find some frameworks that work with that. I don't have any references off hand. This allows you to send vector data to a client while also allowing different, more detailed representations as you zoom in. You don't need

Leaflet is a very easy to Map API that supports vector data. One option is to download OSM data and convert it to GeoJSON and use a GeoJSON layer. Dave On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 8:51 AM, Gervase Markham gerv-gm...@gerv.net wrote: On 06/06/13 22:02, colliar wrote: Do you know this map ? Would

Creating another instance of the OSM database and server is a very good idea. I would propose we make the purpose of this database to allow people post ANY geo data that is NOT part of the base map. It would be an open database for general GIS data. Some examples of random things people could do

2013-03-24 Thread Dave Sutter
There is an example of a line/area from indoor maps. In working in my real job we model walls either as a line or an area, depending on the resolution of the building source. A closed way can form an area-type wall or it can form a line-type wall closed around a room or a building. I expect the

There seems to be a polygon search which lets you specify an arbitrary bounding polygon. This should have the same function as a search for a closed way, given the proper polygon coordinates. This means either you can create the polygon yourself based on the coordinates of the way or it ought to

I like GeoJSON since it is JSON, which I find convenient, and it is a standard. All the same, most vector rendering on clients is done using the path formalism which doesn't distinguish between areas and lines outside of applying the style to the geometry. It is kind of a shame to have to worry

[OSM-talk] OpenSportMap database layer

2013-03-02 Thread Dave Sutter
There has been discussion from time to time about separate layers of data for OSM. One proposal is to use an alternate instance of the OSM database to serve as the database for an alternate layer of data. While I was riding my biking this morning I thought of a good use for such a database layer,

I have been working on an indoor editor for OSM. Using a new indoor-specific editor or not, it is easy to add indoor map data to OSM. But doing this places a lot of data in the database that appears very ugly and very difficult to work with for a person not well versed in indoor maps in osm.

The proposed indoor mapping conventions address this issue, as well as how to handle the resulting overlapping ways. There unfortunately isn't yet consensus and there hasn't been as much attention to this area from the larger OSM community as I would like. I think this example, mapping out units

I like the idea of an automated quality checker for map edits. That can be seen as an advancement to the simple rules based checking done when a commit is done in JOSM. It might be easier to train the classifier if it concentrates on bad edits or bad commits rather than bad mappers. Dave

From the thread it appears OSM is not the culprit of bad data, at least in many cases. Nonetheless it certainly makes sense thinking about data accuracy. I am not aware of a widespread organized system of making sure OSM data is up to date. We know the time of the last change to a feature. It

This sounds like a great open source project. What would be needed is a good map client for mobile that could hopefully get decent usage penetration. GPS from users would be collected and used to calculate average and, with enough data, current speeds. The GPS traces could also be used for
