After a friend of mine pointed out a bicycle trail he had recently mapped in Milpitas, I checked it out, and I noticed a few problems in the area that I decided to clean up:

* Connected up the trail to the adjacent street.
* Moved a few nearby streets with incorrect TIGER data.
* Added a couple of missing streams based on the satellite images
* Marked a few bridges over these streams.

This area doesn't look like its had much detailed attention yet. My cleanups were relatively limited in scope. Someone could probably spend an afternoon or two just finishing up the tasks I started here.

OpenStreetMap map party-ji za 2009.

Metoda: Prvo preko Yahoo satelitskih snimaka ucrtam zgrade i isprintam kartu na veci format. Nakon toga dok se vozim biciklom na isprintanu kartu upisujem nazive ulica koje poslije ucrtavam na OSM. Zašto tako? Jer nemam GPS :)

- 28.12.2008 Započeto čišćenje Prečkog i Španskog od automatski deployanih trackova (Horvaćanska imala 7 slojeva) i brdo smeća iz vremena prije Yahoo podloga prihvatljive rezolucije.

- 15.01.2009 Čini mi se da je Novi Zagreb gotov što se tiče ulica i zgrada treba poraditi na točkama interesa. Idem prema sjevero-istoku kvart po kvart jer je potpuno nepokriven taj dio Zagreba.

016.09. Od vecih edita sam da spomenem planinarske domove od Učke do Južnog Velebita. Podaci su prikupljeni prije 3 godine od šire planinarsko/biciklističke zajednica i objavljeni na http://tinyurl.com/mc757q a KML se moze skinuti ovdje http://tinyurl.com/krlhz8

ho inserito la denominazione di Via Emilio Lepido che parte dalla rotonda di Via Mantova / Via Zarotto e prosegue fino fuori città in direzione Reggio Emilia

Hab zum Einstieg mal das Neubaugebiet an der Knüsthöhe abgelaufen und editiert... hoffentlich ist da nicht zuviel Blödsinn passiert ;-)

So, noch ein paar feldwege und siedlungsstrassen hinzugefuegt, leider hab ich keine kamera und kann so keine strassennamen mit nehmen ;)
Viel fehlt uebrigens nicht mehr, ich weiss grad nur 2 strassen in Kulmbach, die noch nicht in osm sind! ;)

Hallo,

kann mir jemand in verständlicher Sprache erklären, wie man Karten von Openstreetmaps auf das Garmin laden kann. Ich habe schon entdeckt, daß man auf der Computerteddy Seite die Karten runterladen kann:

osm.wiki/index.php/User:Computerteddy

In einem Mountainbike Forum habe ich auch eine auführliche Beschreibung gefunden, die bei mir aber nicht geklappt hat.

http://www.mtb-news.de/forum/archive/index.php/t-326846.html

Ich habe dann noch eine weitere Seite entdeckt, mit der ich zwar eine Deutschlandkarte aufs Garmin bekommen habe, die aber recht unaktuell war. Sinnvoll wäre es ja, die aktuelle runterzuziehen, vor allen Dingen, wenn man diese nutzen möchte, um neue Wege hochzuladen, die bis jetzt noch nicht in der Karte sind. Ich vermute mal, daß bei mir das Problem das Entpacken der Datei ist, wenn ich auf der Computerteddy z. B. die Deutschlandkarte als .tgz Datei runterlade und die dann z. B. mit 7-Zip entpacke, habe ich keine .img oder .tbd Datei sondern eine .tar Datei. Mit anderen Entpackern, z. B. Winzip bekomme ich nur Fehlermeldungen. Liegt es vielleicht daran, daß ich bei meinem Rechner etwas falsch eingestellt habe, oder liegts an Vista? Sorry für die Laienhaften fragen, aber ich hoffe, mir kann jemand helfen.

Danke und Gruß

Have Sports Tracker on my N95.
Great software, low power consumption, exports in GPX

Today I added all the bus_stops on the X6 route between Huddersfield and Leeds. I planned on doing the same on the return journey too, but the gps signal on the return bus was even worse than the first. I'm contemplating adding in a relation for the X6 route, but since it probably wouldn't be used I'm not sure I can be bothered.

That's probably the last of my mapping in Yorkshire this year, I have a list of Bradford CCTV cameras [1] to add in but that requires visiting them all - a) because I'm unclear as to ownership of the list and b) because the locations aren't exact anyway.

Saturday I head off to Wales, possibly mapping a really annoying missing part of railway line [2] which I think is tunnel / big embankment and therefore no gps signal.

Then I'm in wales for a week, hopefully mapping some of Haverfordwest and then I'm in East Anglia for a few days hopefully completing Walberswick (which would make our version better than Google). But time, weather and family will probably hamper efforts.

Over the past few weeks, I have started mapping Hyderabad, predominently the Western part of Hyderabad.

I've, at long last, started to map my local area. A little look at the quality of the mapping shows that it is to some extent dependent on the 'social status' of the neighbourhood. Well, let's try and redress this.

Norcross, Georgia, USA — ERDAS announces that OpenStreetMap has been added to ERDAS TITAN 2009 as the default basemap in the TITAN Viewer. OpenStreetMap is a free, editable map of the world.

ERDAS TITAN enables users and organizations to easily make their geospatial data available, while retaining digital ownership rights. Using a 3D virtual globe, users can create data and content mashups that can be quickly published and viewed by others. OpenStreetMap may now be utilized as a basemap for that 3D virtual globe. ERDAS TITAN also translates data on the fly to “view only” formats for consumption into a variety of geospatial applications, including Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, ERDAS IMAGINE, ArcMap and more.

OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth. The maps are created using data from portable GPS devices, aerial photography and other free sources. Registered users can upload GPS track logs and edit the vector data.

“Incorporating OpenStreetMap into ERDAS TITAN strengthens both applications, and highlights two products that encourage users to share their worlds,” said Mladen Stojic, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Marketing, ERDAS. “ERDAS TITAN provides access to unlimited public and private data resources and enables consumption in a variety of desktop, Internet and 3D virtual globe applications.”

ERDAS TITAN has also released a number of other enhancements, including attribute based symbology for point vectors in the TITAN Viewer. With multi-screen support, users can span one TITAN Viewer display across multiple PCs/screens, creating the illusion that the numerous displays are one contiguous display. In addition, users can locally add multiple DEMs as terrain sources in the TITAN Viewer, thereby making adjacent terrains stitch together.

Finally managed to complete the survey of the new M1 J8 (Hemel Hempstead). Also discovered that the A414 is being extended from Hemel towards St. Albans, and as a result the M10 is being downgraded to a trunk route (as it's now possible to drive this route without joining the motorway). I have only removed references to the M10 around the M1 junction as I did not travel to the far end of the M10 to confirm the road signs at that end have been changed to reflect the new road status.

I've removed all construction tags from this junction; although the roadworks continue, the overall road layouts now seem fixed.

I added county and state park shapes in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties using map rectifier (labs.metacarta.com/rectifier). It is a great program to use to add landuses that can't be added with GPS. Now the area on the west bay is no longer completely white. It's now got a smathering of green parks throughout. I included the wms rectified image numbers below in case anyone wants to look at them or add extra features, ie trails, restrooms, campsites. Currently I just added the shapes for the parks. I will continue to add additional parks working north toward SF.

Habe den Andernacher Stadtteil Eich hinzugefügt.
Wenn der Ort auch recht klein ist - fehlen darf er nicht ;)

Today I bought my first gps-device :-)
I chose a Garmin eTrex H.
I'll start capturing tomorrow...
good night.

Out mapping today: I failed at getting the Christmas shopping done and ended up wandering around St. Ebbes and the Castle complex instead, tidying up shapes and getting more detail and landuse areas in. Osm2Go is wonderful for the data-gathering part of this. I still feel the need to tweak and fiddle afterwards in JOSM so good traces are still necessary for me, but hand-held mapping tools allow lots of good mapping of things you (I) might otherwise miss to be done right there on the ground.

Count of members of the public asking me for directions: 1.

You know you have mapping addiction when …

… you make an appointment, and you're offered the choice between the city office (close by, well-mapped) and Stones Corner (inconvenient, lots of NoNames). You choose the latter.

That said, public transport let me down somewhat (hard to believe, I know), and I only named half a dozen streets or so, plus a few POIs. I'll be back for more inconvenient appointments in the new year if those don't get done.

Best street name award: Zillah Street.

In Erwartung meiner kommenden Weihnachtsüberraschung behob ich kleine Fehler in der näheren Umgebung - Ich will mein Garmin mit OSM-Karten füttern ;o)

Just got a reply from my FOI request to find out how much Hampshire County Council spend on OS maps.

Einige Wege auf dem Erzgebirgskam hinzugefügt und diverse kleinere Anpassungen im Vorland.
Mein Versuch, den Kammweg auf dem Erzgebirge (in Tschechien) zu kennzeichnen, ist sicher fehlerhaft, aber der Versuch ist es bestimmt wert.
Der Weg im Trebnitztal scheint mir etwas zu unruhig zu sein - ein automatisch umgewandelter Track???
