Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Another thought, which I think is best, is to symbolize the 2/7 in the top left corner of the actual icon, hard code to look just for this 24/7 so it will fit. Regards Mark Cupitt "If we change the world, let it bear the mark of our intelligence" See me on Open StreetMap

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

We can display it as part of the text ie: Mercury Drug 24/7 or add another graphic on top of he icon, like a clock or similar. I think the text is better as it it unambiguous but am open to whatever everyone wants Regards Mark Cupitt "If we change the world, let it bear the mark of our intellig

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

I also have a question about places:ph, there are a LOT in the database, I guess they are implemented with other tags, is there a definitive list of what the other tags are? Seem like Barangays mostly, but possibly some other places? Regards Mark Cupitt "If we change the world, let it bear th

Hi Eugene, while we are discussing this, is it worth displaying the opening hours as part of the poi description if it is in the database?? It is kind of relevant to people who look at a map .. Thoughts? Cheers Mark Regards Mark Cupitt "If we change the world, let it bear the mark of our inte

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Hi Eugene, We were considering the editor links that but had not made a decision. That decision is now made and we will do it. We will provide an authentication against Osm for the login Id, and if authenticated, these Edit icons will display so that edits can be done there and then. A much better

Hi Mark, QUESTION Is the OSM ID of the offending node of any value if displayed in > square brackets behind the poi description? > It is of value to OSM mappers but not the end users. For OSM mappers, I think it would be more useful if you provided links to edit the map at that particular POI in

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Hi Eugene, I think will set it up for option two, but will only update the database for the more obvious ones for now and see what we actually get on the map when done (tons of red or a only few) I am looking at query optimization now to speed this process up, and the way it looks, once it is done

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Hi Mark, Both options you mentioned are equally OK depending on what is needed. It is a classic trade-off situation. If you want the map to be more user-friendly, you need to spend more effort and resources. I myself prefer the 2nd option, but that entails a lot more work on your part. How about

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Hi Eugene, I do agree it is better to fix the data .. an iconfile tag could lead to lots of difficult items to fix later and will not render in the main OSM map anyway, and could lead to lazy mapping practices. There are a couple of options 1) I only display legit icons for the correct tags as p

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Totally agree, Eugene. Much better with consistent data, with one way to tag a certain thing, than to have different processes adapt to incorrect tags, regardless of how frequent. Besides, anyone calling McDonalds a *restaurant* clearly needs to get out more! :) Ronny. On 25/05/14 04:44, Eugen

Re: [talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Hi Mark, I think it would be better for all users of the data in the long run that the inconsistent name field is the one corrected instead of your system adjusting for it. Let's say that you have a "rule" that says that that name=McDonald's with amenity=fast_food gets the Golden Arches icon. No

[talk-ph] Icons on POI's - Proposal

Folks, have been thinking about how we specify Icons for POI's in the Philippines OSM Map. I have Icons for most of the PH specific businesses, like Jollibee, Banks, and so on and would like to use them At the moment, the only way to do this is to run through the database checking the name tag and
