[Talk-us] Postal Code Extract (zip vs zcta)

From the page which Bryce referred to in http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-September/011738.html comes the following passage: The term ZCTA was created to differentiate between this entity and true USPS ZIP Codes. ZCTA is a trademark of the U.S. Census Bureau; ZIP Code is a

Hi Martin, That was my conclusion as well. Figured it didn't hurt to ask. Does it get placed in the same directory as the IMG file on the SD card? Thanks again! Best regards, Fred Hillhouse From: Martin Koppenhoefer [mailto:dieterdre...@gmail.com]

Re: [Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2013-08-22

Hi Dave, One last question, I think. I also went to the Lambertus site and requested a IMG file by picking the areas of interest. I figured it would be useful to know as well. I selected the Mapnik TYP file. Is this file necessary? If yes, I assume it would go into the same directory on the SD

Well, this newsletter/blog entry by Adventure Cycling Association is pretty cool: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_in_the_media#September (points to) http://www.adventurecycling.org/resources/blog/openstreetmap-the-web-based-mapping-project Not shy to toot OSM's horn, SteveA

Re: [Talk-us] osm data on boston.com, perhaps, definitely not atttributed

Seems like this is something that really needs to be fixed. It sure seems dumb that there no attribution to OSM when you embed an OSM map on another webpage. -Compdude On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Tod Fitch t...@fitchdesign.com wrote: I've changed a web page from using an embedded Google

Re: [Talk-us] osm data on boston.com, perhaps, definitely not atttributed

Agreed. The oddest thing to me is the behavior is specifically sensitive to being iframed. The src= link used directly has attribution © OpenStreetMap http://www.openstreetmap.org and contributors, under an open license http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright but when used in iframe src=

That's nice. If I had never read that article in the paper about OSM three years ago, I would not be here! -Compdude On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 12:39 PM, stevea stevea...@softworkers.com wrote: Well, this newsletter/blog entry by Adventure Cycling Association is pretty cool:

Tod, Evin, If you think that, indeed, OSM is being used without an attribution, why don't you ask politely that they add it. It probably is an oversight. That way, OSM makes another friend. You could even offer to provide help (if you have time). Charlotte At 01:08 PM 9/4/2013,

[Talk-us] Postal Code Extract (zip vs zcta)

Maybe I should clarify what my point really was ... one needs to choose whether they are mapping ZCTAs or ZIP Codes and not confound the two. That was what I was getting at. Regards --ceyockey ___
