Re: [OSM-talk] Google Maps - OSM comparison

Alex Mauer — 2008-12-04T20:17:05

I ran through the whole list, ranking the quality of the map for each of OSM and Google on a scale of 0-5. (0 meaning that the map is blank or only the name appears, 5 meaning that it doesn't seem like anything is missing from the map) Assuming I did a good job of ranking, OSM is slightly ahead of Google worldwide and in in Africa and Asia. In Europe, OSM is well ahead. Google is slightly ahead in Oceania, and well ahead in North and especially South America Here are the results (I can provide my rankings in a spreadsheet as well if anyone is interested): OSMGoogle World2.642.50 Africa2.021.78 Asia2.622.36 Europe3.903.38 N Am2.172.77 Oceania2.192.35 S Am2.363.21 -Alex Mauer "hawke

[OSM-talk] Yahoo WMS server?

Till Harbaum / Lists — 2008-12-04T20:13:59

Hi, is there a stand-alone yahoo WMS server? Yahoos license seem to allow this and some users of my osm2go ask for yahoo images. Going through a wms server would be the easiest and cleanest solution i think. Thanks, Till

Re: [OSM-talk] Unification of OpenStreetBugs an Trac

"Andy Allan" gmail.com> schrieb: I was not aware of this agreement. When I first started thinking about a bug tracker I intended to keep the bug reports in data structures separate from the osm database. But in the following discussions I got the feeling that a bug tracker which allowed free-form tagging would be very welcomed. But implementing this means basically replicating the node-objects (and the way-objects too if you want to mark buggy areas). So, I concluded it would be the easiest to just introduce a new set of tags and manage them differently in the clients. However, I can see why this is not a very clean solution and I am happy to implement in a different dataset. I am really eager to start programming something but at the moment I am still trying to figure out what exactly. I do not want to spend time writing a bug tracker that is then rejected because of the way it stores the bug reports. Christoph

Andy Allan — 2008-12-04T16:39:12

Please, please don't take or advocate this approach. The OSM core tables should, ideally, contain geo-data. We already anticipate much of the meta-data (e.g. created_by tags, usernames) to be applied to changesets (which are in themselves natively metadata). There's been a long and steady agreement that future bug tracking systems won't just slap nodes into the midst of our geotables. However, this is another subject that needs more doing and less talking :-) Cheers, Andy

[OSM-talk] find corners of exported maps

Olav Kvittem — 2008-12-04T15:12:25

Hi, I wonder how I compute the coordinates of the corners of the images received from the web export function for an osmarender image. I specify geodetic center position(degrees), zoom level and image size and get at nice map image. The projection is of cource Mercator and I can linearly map mercator coordinates onto the image. But how do I know the coordinates of the corners of the returned image ? The url I use is : http://server.tah.openstreetmap.org/MapOf/index.php?long=10.17456&lat=56.01566&z=6&w=500&h=592&format=png' The tile-size for each level is 256x256 so given the zoom-level I could compute the pixel density from the world map size in mercator projection. That works for east direction which is linear, but for the northern direction the projection is nonlinear and I am not sure if the geodetic center that I specify is at the center of the returned image or not. cheers Olav perl code for computing the pixel density # $ol = east length of map section # pix,$piy = pixel size

Hi! Donald Allwright yahoo.com> schrieb: You are probably right about the lifecycle. When I wrote the proposal for an improved bugtracker I noticed that the steps to deal with a map bug might be called differently but are in fact similar to dealing with normal bugs. I also think that a different user front end is definitely necessary. I only started using osb once I found the plugin for josm. I want to mark bugs while entering my data or marking them as fixed imediately after fixing them. If I fix several small bugs (and most bugs are just small things) I do not want to go on a separate website and locate the bugs only to mark them as fixed. I might even accidentally fix bugs without noticing that they exist if I do not see them in the editor. Changing the user interfac of a bug tracker sounds like a logical solution but what I still haven't found out is what will be left from the original bugtracker once I changed the user interface. I have the feeling that there would not be left much

are there any auckland, nz osmers on the list? the auckland map meetup group has it's first meeting tonight, in the central city. all in the area are welcome to come along, the subject is gis and mapping in general, and we will be discussing osm - there are a number of local contributors going. one of the key subjects will be the upcoming import of LINZ data, to complete the NZ road network more details at the link below - please rsvp if you intend to come, so we can judge numbers http://www.meetup.com/Auckland-Map-Meetup/calendar/9220725/ i realise it's short notice but even if you can't make it, keep an eye on that link, we will be arranging other meets in future cheers

Re: [OSM-talk] Unification of OpenStreetBugs an Trac

Matthias Julius — 2008-12-03T22:08:17

I could imagine the workflow for people fixing map bugs to be something like starting their favorite editor, download all bugs for the area they care about, download the map data around the bugs they want to work on, fix it, upload the result and close the bug report. Or, attach a comment to the bug report or send a message to the reporter. For all but the last two operations it is probably most efficient if it can be done directly in the editor. For the last two the editor might fire up your email client to send the message. Yes, but bugs are related to each other by the area they are in. So you might want to highlight all the bugs in the area you have just worked on to close them all, or so. Matthias

Hello world :) As some may know already GeoBase (Canada) data will get imported to OSM. On the talk-ca list and wiki for summery we are rattling our brains on how to make it the best and as smooth as possable. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoBase_Import If anyone has idea's & discussion points, please feel free to add them on the talk page.

David Earl — 2008-12-03T19:40:32

I'm with Gerv here. The process seems very similar to me. You are possibly thinking only in terms of how Trac works if you don't have much experience of bug trackers in general - I found Trac rather strange having used other bug trackers - they're not all alike... So it starts off unassigned and someone takes responsibility for it. That's not an untypical use of bug tracking systems. I don't think so, with one exception: you'd like to be able to view the map from the bug report, but that can be handled by embedding a link in the original report. When you're fixing a software bug, the tools you use to fix it and the tools for tracking it are usually independent. (Though in one system I wrote, checking in a file caused it to update the bug tracking system *and* the comments at the top of the source files with the check in reason. So you don't disclose your identity, or we let you choose when submitting. Again sending email isn't a fundamental necessity in a bug trackers. Having said that, I
