Hey everyone,
Just a question which no one seems to have addressed - is there any
evidence that Go is actually using a *feed* of OSM data, rather than just a
one-off dump? It's really rare, IMHO, for anyone to bother with a feed for
a project like this - so much easier to just get a planet

Hi all,
I've been trying to convince the state government of Victoria (southeast

currently CC-BY, and they've told me they're happy in principle for it to
be used this way, but they're uncomfortable making the recommended

are currently traces there then it’s mapping the present.

Hi Ben,
Thanks very much for starting this conversation - yes, it's a messy one.
Mostly because the European (and particularly UK) concept of cycle route
hasn't really existed here. But it's still worth trying to fit into because
lots of tools (especially OpenCycleMap) do support that concept.

I take a simplistic approach to this. A road is a bicycle route if and

Simple, but not very helpful IMHO. cycleway=lane already captures that

write a small manual page for it, for the subset of features your users

I didn't do it then, hoping somebody else would have a better suggestion.

Hi Matt,
The question about mapping old, historical features is much wider than
just the Australian context. I'm pretty sure the current consensus is that
we old rail lines should be mapped - even if there is not much to see on
the ground. There might be more than you think - there's a station
* Unpaved roads are difficult to really classify the surface in terms of
anything other than dirt/sand/rock. The surface state changes over time
from smooth immediately after grading, to possibly deep
ruts/corrugations/mud after rain and wear. In this case, my personal
opinion would be to use some

Hi all,
I'm looking for a recommendations of mobile apps to recommend, for people
