Re: Getting the YWMS plugin to run

Ok well, I've got enough developing and trouble shooting to do for other applications, I think I'll just wait until it reaches beta or stable. Thanks though for your help. Greetings xeen On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 16:10, Iván Sánchez Ortega sanchezortega.es> wrote:

I unchecked wms and ywms and installed ewms. I've now got two Yahoo entries, but for both I only get red "exception occured" tiles. Plus it's a little annoying that the tiles zoom levels doesn't update with my zoom level, but well, I'd still be happy if I could Yahoo imagery to work at all. Thank you, greetings xeen On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 15:32, Iván Sánchez Ortega sanchezortega.es> wrote:

Re: Upload-Data

xeen — 2008-10-06T12:16:24

Use GPS Babel ( http://www.gpsbabel.org/download.html ) to convert your GPS Logs to the "GPX" format (it's listed as "GPX XML" GPS Babel). You can then upload the new files to the OpenStreetMap ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/mine ) and it shouldn't give you the wrong format error. Please don't skip this step, or upload your traces with the JOSM "DirectUpload" plugin (add it in the options first) as there are several advantages: 1) If someone files a lawsuit against OSM it's easy to prove your additions weren't drawn off a copyright map 2) The more people upload tracks, the more precise the map becomes. A street with several traces is likely to be located in the middle of those, thus ironing out the GPS imprecision. 3) If you for some reason forget to add a street, anyone who downloads GPS data can add it later :) Hope that helps.

If you mean that josm seemed to upload that data, but that nothing seemed to have changed on the openstreetmap display, then see the previous answers. But if you mean that josm just "hung" while trying to upload data, then this seems to happen quite often, perhaps when the servers are overloaded. In that case just "cancel" and try again. ael

i don't know anything about limitations for uploading a gpx file. how many waypoints has the file? i fixed some of my own gpx files with the same timestamp and there were no problems. did you try JOSM? ben

Getting the YWMS plugin to run

xeen — 2008-10-06T09:49:02

Hi, I've been trying to get the YWMS plugin to run but I'm stuck with the "500 HTTP Error". I've already updated the plugins and installed Firefox 2 because there seem to be problems with Firefox 3. Still, when I want to download the map, Firefox 2 opens fine, loads the map, closes, but then I still get the 500 HTTP error message. I've disabled my firewall to see if it would block the local requests, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any other hints? Thanks! xeen

Re: Preparing a mapping party: cutting the cake

Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists — 2008-10-05T21:20:27

Not aware of any apps. In the early days (ie when there really was non existing data at all) I just stylistically created a "cake", the first one being for Manchester in 2006 [1]. Nowadays I find there is sufficient bounding data (basic road/rail/river network) to carve up the target area logically. It doesn't really matter if the areas are too big or too small, it's just beneficial to minimize duplication and mapper overlap during an event. Having clear distinct boundaries helps achieve that. The results from Bradford last weekend are a good example of my most recent approach [2] & [3] Cheers Andy [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapchester#Munchchester [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Cake.png [3] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Bradford-party-traces.png

Preparing a mapping party: cutting the cake

ivom — 2008-10-05T20:29:54

Hi, I took part in two mapping parties previously and have noticed the returning ad-hoc process of carving a paper map into pieces with pen&pencil and distribute the sub-areas to be mapped among the various participants this way. I wonder if there is some sort of app/procedure available that could assist with this planning proces and as a result would extract osm data per area. Do you have experience preparing mapping parties? Please post your tips&tricks. Bye, Ivom

Uploading Park Boundaries

Hilton Long — 2008-10-03T10:21:24

I've extracted a boundary definition for Capitol Reef National Park from Tiger line files, 2006. It's in gpx format, and shows as a continous, closed line with numerous vertices. I'm new to OSM, but I think this should show up as an area feature if I could figure out a way to import it. Unfortunately, I can't. This is really frustrating, because I see an area indicating the boundaries of Zion National Park just east of Saint George, UT, USA. OSM rejects my gpx upload because it doesn't have time stamps. JOSM opens the the gpx file, but only shows points. Is there a way to get JOSM to open shape files, or to convert the gpx files to ways, the way the slippy map does when it likes the gpx I upload?

hi, you can just use an simple editor to open your gpx file. than you maybe see waypoint in this way: 427.4433594 just use the editors "search & replace" function: search for "" replace it with "2008-09-06T12:00:00Z" do it for the whole file and than try to upload it to OSM. if you don't have an tag then use search for "" replace with "2008-09-06T12:00:00Z" hope i can helped. ben On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 3:35 AM, Hilton Long public.gmane.org> wrote:

If you're using Potlatch (the online 'Edit' tab), select the way or node, then click its ID (or press 'H' for history). A menu will appear showing everyone who's worked on that object and when. To contact someone, select the relevant entry, then click 'Mail'. cheers Richard
