Hi,

today I think I will buy a nice folding bike with 7 gears. I got a good offer and will check it the afternoon. Then I will put it in the trunk of my car. And then I can do some serious mapping wherever I go :-)

Yesterday I collected the rest of the streets in Walluf/Rhine. Haven't had the time to enter the data yet...

Cheers

Mobile GMaps is great software - I like the web-tracking feature using gmap-track.com and I like, that it can use OSM maps.. but I have several problems:

- My friend cannot use it on Nokia 63xx anymore. It just stopped working and when he triest to start it, it hangs.
- Web tracking is just uploading my last position.. but i cannot download track data from that website.. so it`s still kinda useless.
- I cannot see Mobile tracking to work.. cause I dont know how to export tracks
- I still miss some more advanced geocaching service with it. Like when it can search on wap.geocache.org for tracks near or near specific "favourite" location (i am using them ar markers for geocache points)

Maybe I should post this one on MGMaps forums also :)

Last weekend I was making map of next sector in my hometown. I set resolution to 2meters and after 1hour (15km) I wanted to export data to gpx.. but it failed. TrailExplorer (for mobile phone) just says "saving" and nothing happens. Good thing i checked the "save track" box this time, so i could export to at least kml..

Yeah and then come in the difficulties with OSM or maybe the kml file. I converted it to gpx using gpsbabel, i filtered out tracks, later on i saw that markers (with km and speed) are still there, so i carefully opened file with text aditor and removed wapoing tags (from to ). File was pretty ok (if we dont count some random line in the beginning (but that could be when gps just started and made some initial glitch)..

I uploaded it to OSM and could even edit.. but yesterday`s evening it was gone.. I uploaded it one more time but this morning it is gone again.. so I uploaded it one more time..

what could be the problem? :(

Hallo zusammen,
nachdem es so aussieht als würde hier im Kreis jeder für sich allein mappen entstand die Idee eine Usergroup zu gründen um die Möglichkeit zu haben, Informationen auszutauschen oder sogar mal Treffen oder Mapping Partys zu organisieren.

User Schack war so freundlich die entsprechende Wikiseite anzulegen und hat auch bereits ein paar Leute angeschrieben, aber vlt. fühlt sich ja auch hier noch jemand angesprochen und würde sich gern beteiligen.

Mehr Infos findet ihr im Wiki unter folgender URL:
osm.wiki/index.php/Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis

Hallo, Leute,

dummerweise habe ich wohl die B432 östlich von Klein Rönnau vermurkst. Eigentlich wollte ich bloß eine Kreuzung bearbeiten, habe dann aber wohl statt des Anschlußknotens die ganze B432 verschoben. (Und es nicht gemerkt, da es wohl außerhalb meines Bildschirmausschnitts passierte.)

Wie kriege ich das wieder hin? Ich habe im Online-Editor die "History"-Funktion ausprobiert und auch einen "Revert" angefordert, aber da ich noch nicht verstehe, wie das funktioniert, habe ich auch die B432 nicht wieder hinbekommen.

Vielen Dank im voraus für Eure Hilfe!

I wonder if someone is maintaining precompiled mappacks derived from OSM tiles server.

I know www.millions.ca/~stacy/osmtiles.tgz, but i wonder if there are truly precompiled mappacks i just need to untar on my openmoko freerunner.
It would be awesome to download, for example an "Europe" mappack that holds entire Europe.

If not, it would be a nice idea, to create a project around exactly that. Maybe it is possible to cupple that with opengeodb to automagically know which and where are big cities that need more detailed maps. This data maybe could be feed into osmtiles so it generates the mappack.
Several mappacks may be combined since we just need to untar files. Since the detail levels are maintained in different files, low-res tiles will not overwrite high-res ones - mappacks will automatically enhance each other.

Would that be a good idea? I just cant believe i am the first guy who has this. Something has already to be out there!

Habe heute einen alten Track von einer schönen Draisinenstecke hochgeladen, bin mir daher nicht mehr so sicher, was eine Brücke, was ein Tunnel und was ein Überweg war - das meiste waren Überwege...
Auch fehlen die Straßen zur Anfahrt und dem Schluß - dachte damals, die gäbe es schon :-(

Just starting mapping Firhouse in Dublin 24.

Firhouse is almost complete. Just have to name a few residential streets.

Planning to move south to map estates between Killininny Road/Oldcourt Road/Ballycullen Road.

This should include estates such as:
* Oakdale
* Daletree
* Ferncourt
* Wooddale
* Beechwood
* Hunterswood

Location: Tymon South, Firhouse Village DED 1986, Tallaght, South Dublin, County Dublin, Leinster, Ireland

Weiss jemand wie ich die bediene? Bin angemeldet (subscribed, bestätigt) Habe account in WIKI und Openstreet; aber wo setze ich meine Fragen an talk-de ab? Finde bloss ein Archiv von talk-de... Noch etwas (hat nix mit talk-de zu tun)Kann ich die inbox / outbox auch bewirtschaften? Wenn ja, wie denn? Einträge löschen im speziellen. Danke für Ratschläge..
