Would this be something that in the future could be used as a basis for a 3d model of the OSM map? I mean does it contain topological data enough to create displays like the one displayed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Topographic-Relief-perspective-sample.jpg Or are they simply image file

[talk-ph] Timog/Quezon aves

2009-03-26 Thread Ronny Ager-Wick - Develo Ltd.
I was just browsing and I seem to remember that at the end of Timog Ave, where it meets Quezon Ave, the last bit of road is blocked, because you can't go left there as would make a total chaos :) I corrected it, but I was unsure of exactly how to mark it. Could someone verify and also, if you happe

In preparing for the address entry system, it would be useful to have a lot of different address types, so we know we will be able to handle all of them. If they can be listed like this, it will make complete sense for everyone: (including me :) ) 999 San Nicolas Dos - House Number + Baran

[talk-ph] export current place names and relation

2009-03-19 Thread Ronny Ager-Wick - Develo Ltd.
Hi, I was wondering, to prepare for the postcode and place name database, is it possible to export from OSM a list of the place names we currently have, what they are (city, town/municipality, province, etc.), and where they are (what province a town is in, etc.)?

Maning and Rally, I am very happy that you mentioned this problem! I have worked with addressing systems for years. Having made database schemas and software for direct marketing companies, mail order businesses and a world wide location search system, I have considerable expertise in this area. I

I, for one, appreciated the message when you sent it to me. I joined this list and added my name in the wiki because of it, and I think it's a nice gesture - and very important for building the community. Maybe you could add a little disclaimer on the bottom, for the "kabalat kapaya" (sensitive) pe

I'm just a bit puzzled, how come, when Magalang and Arayat appears fine here: http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=15.153&lon=120.678&zoom=11&layers=0B00FTF If you zoom out, both Magalang and Arayat disappears, despite there is more than enough space for the names on the map. However I even tried moving t

Maning, I've done almost all the major streets of Magalang, which is just near Angeles, and a few bits and bobs in Angeles (such as the expressway exit), Arayat and Mexico. I am new to OSM, so I am learning while doing. Can you direct me to a couple of examples of "unconnected intersections" and te
