[OSM-talk] Flooding in Turkey

2009-02-22 Per discussione Kærast
Hi, There's been some flooding in Turkey for a while which nobody neither I or katpatuka have been able to fix. It's at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.913lon=35.572zoom=9layers=B000FTFT and only appears on the Mapnik render at zoom level 9 and lower. There are rivers passing through that

Hi, I tried downloading shapefiles from the website, and all I was getting was a message that the file was empty and there might not be any data. The map data certainly looks very detailed, so it would be awesome if we could get this imported. By a donation we are able distribute data to osm,

Re: [Talk-GB] How to add roundabouts?

2009-01-30 Per discussione Kærast
One thing the wiki page on roundabouts doesn't explain is that routing software needs the roundabouts to be tagged highway=* in order for it to be used. I don't know if this is an issue with the routing software or whether the wiki page should be edited to make this clear, but for now highway=*

[OSM-talk] Controlling Label Position

2009-01-26 Per discussione Kærast
Hi, Is there a recognised way of controlling where the label for leisure=park should go? At the moment it's rendering right over the top of the bandstand and I would like to be able to shift it to somewhere out of the way. The wiki suggests that relation role=label is theoretically what I want,

Hi, Bradford Council provide public gis information on rights of way, and other stuff at http://gis.bradford.gov.uk. Unfortunately it needs a Windows computer and special software installing to be used, and so I've been unable to look at exactly what is provided and whether it would be useful to
