Little by little, some governmental and municipal data in Israel is released for use under open licenses. Some of this data has geographic value that can be embed in OSM. Is there any active effort in that direction? Does anyone see any reason why not to do it? sources: http://data.gov.il

Hi everyone, I am trying to map my area (that is very sparsely mapped in OSM currently), so I bought a GPS device and started cycling / driving around and edit my tracks. The results so far can be seen at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.1878lon=34.8714zoom=14layers=B00FT (Notice that the

[OSM-talk] Mapnik: right-to-left labels are printed backward

2008-02-11 Thread Moshe Sayag

Naturally, a pop-up should appear when a user right-clicks on an item at the Current Selection window, Validation Error window, etc. Also, a zoom to layer should be pop-up whenever someone right-click on a layer at the Layer window. Moshe On Feb 2, 2008 9:03 PM, Raphael Studer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There was a long discussion (in Hebrew) at the forum of freemap.co.il about the license and the availability of the data. As far as I can understand from the answer that Ehud Shabtai posted (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that: 1. The code of the software is free under dual license (GPL and
