Granice Hrvatske | Evo granica je importirana:

Granice Hrvatske | Bok! Od Slovenačkog geodetskog ureda dobili smo dozvolu za importiranje granica Slovenije u OSM. U nekoliko dana verovatno če bit importirana.

Pozdrav,

Almost 2 million edits! | See http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2000000 :) |
|
Routable Commons | So can we now expect areas of unroutable regions in the park, tagged access=no, landuse=rose_garden so that routing algorithm can find optimal way trough a park without footpaths (and whole park tagged with access=foot). Oh, and imagine the exploding size of routing matrix :) |
|
openstreetmap.hu | how about having it as an alias for main website, defaulting to their language (once it is translated)? |
|
openstreetmap.es disponible | Surely you meant http://www.openstreetmap.es as mentioned http://openstreetmap.es (without "www.") isn't working. |
|
OziExplorer | btw, img2ozf turns images (.map calibration file of a .jpg image) and not Garmin's img files into ozi's proprietary format (.ozf3) Štefan |
|
Upgraded the translation tool | Nice! How about having that within the app itself, like: http://developer.newsdesk.se/2009/01/21/translate-new-rails-i18n-plugin-with-a-nice-web-ui/ |

Čakovec | Now you can see your post correctly under

Čakovec | Bravo, le tako naprej! |

Problems with Cycle Map as base layer | the given url
good luck fighting your network / ISP! |
|
Changing email address of OSM account | I believe BlueMM was worried that in DB every node/way carries email as the reference to the author. I believe this reference is numeric user_id, independent of email and display name and not visible to users (except in planet dumps along with display name) |

Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | bummer, third try: |

Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | Oops, read "escaped with °" as "escaped with |
|
Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | Oh in the given OSM file the degree sign needs to be escaped with ° i presume. JOSM can't read it right (gets a � square) and Kosmos choaks on it. k="navaid:sea:Optic_and_Light"

Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | No problem downloading JOSM, but when I tried to open (run) it, a Nokia application kicked in (for installing apps on mobiles). On your machine the .jar file extension is obviously taken by the Nokia application installer for mobile phones. Try opening the jar explicitly in java with command: C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe -jar -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -Xmx512M "C:\OpenStreetMap\josm\josm-latest.jar" Just adjust your paths and max memory allocation (Xmx) as needed. |

Questions: bulk uploading of lighthouses / maritime navigation | Great to see some nautical initiative! Is the CIL's permission compatible wirh OSM's CC-BY-SA license? as with all imported data it would be nice to include other attributes, namely
As for tagging the objects see
For initial playing around I'd suggest Kosmos (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Kosmos ), an OSM map viewer and renderer, whose rules can be eaily customized for whatever style (nautical in this case, yellow land, white sea, buoys, lighthouses with characteristics rather than name, no street names, only major roads...). Then you can also give it 2 .osm files to render at the same time, onto the same map. One would be extract of Ireland, and the other one would be osm file with CIL's lighthouses and other nautical navigation aids. Once you are happy with the osm file from CIL's data (so that it includes most or possibly all data), and are sure that CIL's permission allows you to publish the data under CC-BY-SA you can just upload it with JOSM. If you need some help with Kosmos, JOSM, Java and other novelties please say so. I (and probably others) will gladly help you. |
