Recently there were 2 interesting posts about "mapping projects". One was about 3D mapping, the other about highway areas. Since not a lot of people read the forum, I take the liberty to cross post them here: (note that many links will be broken due to the copy, read the forum thread to get the correct links)
On 3D http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=31791 Dear friends, I realize, there is no one 3D model in your capitol: http://demo.f4map.com/#lat=50.8475882&l … 48&zoom=17 Specification hotw to use is here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_Buildings Nice examples see: e.g. Nuremberg, New York, Warszawa. Maybe you could try it? With best regards, Marek On Highway areas: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=31896 Dear OSM Friends from Belgium, it is surprise for me but my proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Prop … treet_area is already over 15.000 times used in the map and in 5 languages avaiable. See: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search … %3Ahighway The russian OSM community did more and has already prepared a special map which shows streets as areas in highest zoom level: http://openstreetmap.ru/#map=18/55.7722 … 69&layer=K I discuss with some guys responsible for mapnik about implementation of this feature on the main OSM page. Of course, you can map it only, if you have aerial images in very good resolution. An example cold be this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/360455846 With summer regards, Marek
