Various footpaths added from personal knowledge in North West Kent, UK.

War vor ein paar Jahren selbst dort und habe den Flugplatz eingetragen (nur die Betonpiste nebst Rollweg und Vorfeld).

Sistemati due importanti ed articolati incroci nel ponente della città di Savona. Modificata la superstrada ("Aurelia Bis") in "trunk".

Sistemato lo svincolo autostradale: le ultime modifiche di qualche giorno fa non sono ancora totalmente visualizzate nel render.

A Vado Ligure aggiunto il perimetro dello stabilimento industriale "Bombardier" e la via ad esso adiacente.

Heute fühle ich mich sicher genug in JOSM, um meinen Heimatort ein wenig mit Daten zu füllen. Nun bin ich auf die Aktualisierung gespannt. Immerhin kann ich im Datenlayer schon alles erkennen.

Im nächsten Schritt will ich mich den Flächen widmen, und ab jetzt mein Hauptaugenmerk auf genaues und gut dokumentiertes Tracking richten.

Bangladesh - Main road added from Daulatudia Ferry ( Western side ) through to Khulna and Barishal - trips I made back in July but it has taken me this long to work out how to use JOSM - looking forward to the server update - now to add some tracks I have of Nigeria that I collected in 03/4/5!

OK, long time no diarise. It's complicated and no-one cares.

Naming excursions are reasonably mundane, so I think I'm just gonna title them after interesting street names I come across. Herring Street this was. Also worthy were Fairy Street and Chaucer and Keats Streets. Chaucer and Keats might have got the guernsey, but they're the only poets (where I know it), so not much of a meme in the council's street names division. A mini-meme, if you will.

Stepping back and explaining, I did some unnamed parts of Moorooka today in the blazing heat. Don't think I'll be doing it in the hot of day again. In one of my favourite books, Bliss by Peter Carey, a character called Honey Barbara got hold of a cancer map. She said you had to know someone very high up in an insurance company to get a cancer map. I wondered today if I might be making my own skin cancer map out there. Madness.

Part of my diary inertia has been because I think it's better, for readers, to talk about things you can point to on the slippy map. (This is only updated weekly around Wednesdays.) I have a few interesting excursions I've let slip for the sake of the slippy map. I think I might actually get around to diarising them retrospectively if that's not too confusing. Heck, I even made a lolcat I nearly forgot about.

And does anyone know the recommended way to tag a "local traffic only" residential street? Could you tell me and update the wiki?

I'm obviously sun-affected. Writing this has inspired me to tag the Moorooka Magic Mile. I used "alt_name". It is, according to Merkaartor, 1.6km or so, so it's well named and the used car dealers have something truthful to say to their clients.

The change I made on Monday had no effect on the new OpenRoutService.org map from Tuesday. But this map looks like it is based on old data from last week. Several changes I made over the weekend are not included. Maybe they are one week behind. But why should they do so?

Edit on 30th Dec 2008:
Here is the answer to my question from above. I got this information from a conversation with osm.wiki/User:Pitscheplatsch, the "owner" of OpenRouteService.org on osm.wiki/Talk:OpenRouteService#Feature_requests_and_general_feedback :

- Generally the routing data is updated every Tuesday based on the weekly dump from Tuesday.
- At the moment (december 2008) there are problems with the server of OpenRouteService.org and so the routing data is not updated.
- ORS don't support turn-restrictions yet! (status on 13 December 2008)

Strade interpoderali attorno al centro abitato di Nago e nella zona di Pratosaiano.

Vecchia strada romana, strade interpoderali, sentieri e residenziali di Santa Cecilia e dintorni di Chizzola.

Filled in a few street names, and mapped a few roads when staying with a friend in Yateley last night. Today filled in some nonames roads right by Ordnance Survey HQ on a visit there.

Ein erster Versuch, die Promenade rund um den Alten Kranen zu mappen. Ist nicht ganz einfach mit den beiden Ebenen und gefällt mir auch noch nicht richtig, aber es ist mal ein Anfang.
Ist es eigentlich sinnvoll, eine Seite des Fußgängerbereichs mit der Linie des Mainuferbereichs zusammenfallen zu lassen, oder sollte man lieber etwas Abstand lassen?

Bisher gab es von der Hessenstraße nur einen ungenauen Track. Bin die Gegend nochmal abgefahren und habe auch gleich die Bushaltestellen nachgetragen.
Wie weit geht die Lindleinsmühle eigentlich genau? An der Versbacher Straße steht ein Stadtteilschild noch vor dem Steinlein. Damit müßten jetzt die Straßen in der Lindleinsmühle eigentlich auch fertig sein.

Anschließend noch eine längere Treppe beim Weingut am Stein ergänzt (runter zur Straße "Am Stein").

On monday I realised that I can't find a crossing in Braunschweig with a restriction. For example no_left_turn. This leads to wrong routing of course. I tried a restriction on the crossing Georg-Eckert-Straße/Bohlweg in Braunschweig. On Tuesday the new rendering of OpenRouteService will take place and I will see how it works out...

On Sunday some editing of the paths in the Ölper Holz.

The Pacific Coast Bike Route is a very popular bicycle touring route that follows the Pacific Coast of the United States from approximately Vancouver, British Columbia to Tijuana, Mexico. Caltrans District 1 still maintains and publishes maps for the portion of the route from the Oregon border through Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino County. After getting explicit permission from Caltrans District 1, I have added a portion of the Pacific Coast Bike Route as a regional cycle network route in OSM.

As far as I know, only Oregon and Caltrans District 1 still publish official maps of the Pacific Coast Bike Route. I am still seeking permission from Oregon to use their map to add the Oregon section to OSM. The very nice folks at Caltrans District 1 are currently checking to see if any of the other Caltrans districts still publish maps of the route.

Variations on the Pacific Coast Bike Route are also published by the Adventure Cycling Association and in the book Bicycling the Pacific Coast. Both of these routes diviate to some extent from the official route.

In additional the Pacific Coast is one of the corridors in the proposed official US National Bike Route Network that was recently approved by the AASHTO, so this route may eventually be upgraded from a regional route to a national route.

Score! I ran across another small municipal airport that had not been mapped, a few miles south of Fortuna, CA. This is apparently the Rohnerville Airport.

There is apparently a convention of labeling these small general aviation airports as aeroway=aerodrome, and reserving aeroway=airport for larger airports that handle commercial passenger aviation. I have also updated the Healdsburg Municipal Airport to follow this convention.

Hi all

I made a new Slippy Map.
The new thing is, that it's possible to zoom in an out very fast.
At least at my computer it works excellent.

Turn your mouse wheel at:

http://lamp2.fhstp.ac.at/~lbz/beispiele/ws2008/oomap4/index.php

On my 1 GHz Celeron Laptop it zooms with about 15 frames/second.

I tested it with Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.0 (Linus/Wine - strange error with missing tiles), Opera, Konqueror (no wheel mouse support) Ubuntu Linux.

Keycodes, mouse scrollspeed, ... are maybe different on different system - it's a beta version.

Feedback is welcome.

In Grombühl haben noch drei Straßen gefehlt: Die Josefstraße, die kleine Straße von der Petrinistraße zur Grombühlstraße, und der Schalksbergweg. Letzteren habe ich aber nur da eingetragen, wo noch Häuser stehen. Er geht dann als Weinbergsweg weiter; das Stück fehlt noch.
Jetzt müssen eigentlich nur noch einige fehlende Straßennamen eingetragen werden, dann ist Grombühl von den Straßen her komplett.
Allerdings gibt es in Grombühl anscheinend nur recht schlechte GPS-Daten. Die Tracks, die bei mir rauskommen, sind auch sehr ungenau.

Dann ging es noch mit der Lindleinsmühle weiter. Die Frankenstraße hat jede Menge Seitenstraßen. Teilweise gehören die zur Frankenstraße, teilweise sind es aber auch Straßen mit einem eigenen Namen. Ein Schema ist für mich nicht zu erkennen.
Allerdings gibt es noch viele, viele Treppen und Fußwege, die noch fehlen...
