I have a proposition that I'd like to discuss for open mapping. It's not my idea originally but Chris Lightfoot's (the late genius of social computing projects). One of his projects was undertaken a while back for the UK's Department of Transport but seems to have languished unused ever since.
The project can be found here: http://www.mysociety.org/2006/travel-time-maps/index.php#examples It strikes me that this kind of journey time contours map has great value, especially if it relies on genuine travel data from motivated participants. I could imagine an open source solution using a mobile/GPS combo being used to show real-time travel time data - where the user can change the time base for a running average (from 'this hour' to 'this year') I hope I'm not revisiting a topic that has been done to death in this forum - I couldn't find anything with a fairly cursory search. Let me know what you think. -- Greg _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
