Para chegar ao aeroporto e vir dele fiz "escala" na rodoviária do Tietê, em São Paulo (capital)

Fui em 15 de julho e voltei em 24 de julho à minha atual realidade aqui em Rio Claro, via Guarulhos. Então passei na Rodoviária do Tietê e no Aeroporto Internacional de Cumbica, Guarulhos (André Franco Montoro). Detalhe: ali ao lado existe a Base Aérea de São Paulo (BASP), da FAB.

Fomos ao município de Peixe-Boi para resolver uns assuntos burocráticos. A caçula aproveitou pra se banhar no rio, mas não vimos nenhum desses dóceis mamíferos, apenas seres humanos divertiam-se nas águas do rio. O ponto alto foi o almoço. Eba!! Comi peixe Serra e peixe Gor, acho que é esse o nome do bicho, mas é gostoso. Ah, quando saímos do restaurante à beira rio, tinha um jovem olhando para a cara de um carangueijo, mas ele não estava muito animado pra comer o bichano. Confesso que nem eu. Na mesma noite, a família dela fez carangueijo, mas eu preferi comer "zóio" frito mesmo, fiquei com dó deles...

p.s.: há uma estrada vicinal que liga Capanema a Peixe-boi, um trecho tem buracos entremeados com asfalto e outro trecho é só de terra mesmo... é preciso cartografá-la um dia.

I've surveyed over 100 wind turbines in Ontario. Just wondering how I can import the points.

I moved from Altrincham in December, having met most of my OSM goals. Nevertheless there is still an awful lot for someone to do up there. Alty got me hooked - hidden networks of footpaths, historic industrial buildings and canal quays hidden among the boring housing estates.

I was lucky enough to move to a virtual blank spot. So, with a brief hiatus for Haiti mapping, I've been mapping some of the villages south of Shrewsbury by GPS survey, esp. Pontesbury and Minsterley, and got started on some footpath mapping. A neighbouring mapper has recently suddenly sprung into life and put my footpath efforts to shame.

Noticed some B-roads missing towards the East. Got started on my bike, then was lucky enough to need to drive to Welshpool, taking in the whole length of one of the missing B-roads. Sadly, I lost my GPS (gutted) before I had the chance to get the tracks off (lost a fair bit of Aberdovey, too). Not that it would have made any difference - by the time I returned, someone in New Zealand had traced most of my missing roads off OS Streetview! Fair enough, but it's killed my motivation to survey them - hard to muster the enthusiasm for the sake, probably, of a couple of post boxes and a pub. Doing the roads would have made it feel worth the trip. Ah well, perhaps one day (or maybe the guy from NZ is planning a trip?).

So no GPS - time to post diary entries, mess around fruitlessly trying to create an OSM file of contours from OS Landform Panorama (to use in Maperitive) and hit eBay for a new GPS.

I have a Garmin nuvi 1300 and downloaded a map from OSM. The map I downloaded from OSM shows fine on my GPS but the problem is that when I want to navigate from point A to B, it uses the base map's routes that came with my GPS instead of using the routes of the map that I downloaded from OSM.
Any thoughts?!

Thanks

I'm still trying to understand how to place nodes/waypoints in rural areas with no help other than coordinates. Ive now figured out how to get the coordinates from a node in mapsource,(Mapsource is the program that came with my Garmin for uploading and manipulating the data.) but when I enter those in JOSM they are way off. For example my waypoint in Mapsource is at N32 15.888 E77 11.271 I enter that in JOSM and I'm miles away. If I manually place the node in JOSM at the approximate position it tells me I'm at 32.26343 77.18796 No where near the Mapsource coordinates. Any explanations or help? ow is this something to do with the decimal point?

Vandaag heb ik een start gemaakt met het vastleggen van de faciliteiten bij kruisingen in Grave, zoals stoplichten met ratelaars. Ik heb de twee grootste kruisingen aan de Rijksweg bewerkt, fietspaden toegevoegd waar nodig en alle overgangen voorzien van metadata. Het wordt best wat werk om dat voor heel Grave te doen, maar het is voor een goed doel.

Today I started recording the facilities at crossings in Grave, such as traffic lights with sound for the blind. I have modified two of the main crossings at the Rijksweg, added cyclepaths and nodes where appropriate and added metadata on these facilities. It will be a lot of work to do this for the whole of Grave, but it is for a good course.

Bored, waiting for telephone interview for new job.

Not quite sure what to do when a low fence is all that separates a footpath from a road (both public).
Do you draw a fence as a way parallel to the FP, for a suitable distance, or do you draw a fence as a node on a (notional) short spur of footpath between real FP and road. Fence wouldn't present a barrier to most people and it isn't illegal to climb over it, or to "be" either side of it.

opening_hours
Very complicated syntax. Is it really necessary to say "closed bank holidays" when this is expected in the UK (for a mobile library) especially when you "need" opening_hours only really to make it obvious that this is a *mobile* library. I just want to say "this mobile library is here on Fridays" without being specific about the times. Is opening_hours=Fr suitable ?

What's JOSM up to now, re sound clips ? Managed to get it to import, but can't see any obvious way of adding a time offset, like you can with jpg import. In the end, I hand-hacked the .gpx file to achieve the time offset. Would rather do this with the .wav files.

Still not sure about nodes versus areas. Did a few playgrounds round here, but did most of them as nodes (didn't want to hang around a playground with a camera phone !). Do you do them as nodes leisure=playground or as a closed way with that same tag ? Done them both ways (sometimes at same location). Very surprised that the renderer didn't render such an area as a node when suitably zoomed "out" ! Why do you need an area AND a node, which some people seem to do ?

Still can't find post box SG4 69 West End, and RM don't know where it is, either ? The one on Dracos is wrong.

PS. Since there were about 5 people from Sweden at State of the Map but only three talked Swedish I need to write this in English. DS.

OSM Route Manager and History Viewer have been down for about three months now. As I have written earlier, the reason for me to disable them was thir massive memory consumption. I have just put them online again, although they don’t work well yet.

Originally, Route Manager was entirely written in PHP. As splitting large relations into segments is a CPU-intensive operation, I rewrote the logic in Java but kept the PHP web pages. The PHP page would start the Route Manager Java executable for each request and after its completion read out the result from an SQLite database. I adapted the same concept for OSM History Viewer.

The problem with this approach was the massive memory consumption that had two reasons:
1. There was no limit on concurrent requests, so 10 concurrent route analysations would have caused 10 Java Virtual Machines to run, and each of them takes a lot of memory by itself.
2. To analyse a large relation or changeset, all of its members had to be loaded into memory.

I solved these problems more or less in the following way:
1. I rewrote the PHP pages in JSP so that both applications and all simultaneous requests would run in one JVM.
2. If too many objects are in the memory, some of them are dumped into a Postgres database (which increases the CPU usage and thus the analysation time).

The server I run the two applications on has 512 MB RAM and a very slow SAN hard disk connection (with 1–2 MB/s), so swapping is very slow. With the old PHP versions of the applications, my server would completely hang up when too many JVMs were running because of the lot of swapping to do. This was unacceptable because I also use the server for e-mails. With the new JSP versions, the memory usage of the applications is limited. I have not yet found a way to find out the actual memory consumption of a process under Linux, but the VIRT column currently shows 368 MB and the RES column 186 MB for the servlet container, so the actual usage must be somewhere in between.

This is still high memory usage, but at least it prevents my server from hanging up completely. Unfortunately, due to the excessive usage of the Postgres database to minimise the memory usage, everything takes very very long. Somewhere, there seems to be a limit of 5 minutes after which the web pages stop loading, although the servlet container in the background still keeps calculating. So at the moment, you still cannot analyse large relations or changesets. I am planning to create some asynchronous user interface where you are notified via e-mail or similar once the analysation is complete.

If you have a server running a servlet container and have some resources left where you want to host the two applications, that would make things a lot easier for me. Please contact me in that case.

The routing support of cdauth’s map, my OpenLayers map with additional features (routing beta preview on http://osm.cdauth.eu/map-routing/), has made some progress. I have switched the routing provider from YOURS to CloudMade, which is almost comparable to Google Maps in speed (the only problem seems to be that it cannot route over ferries yet).

I have fixed some bugs considering the drag and drop support. You can move the start and destination markers on the map as well as drag parts of the route to change its course (creating “via” points, remove them again by double-clicking them).

I have tested in the newest versions of Firefox, Opera and Konqueror. Some bugs are yet to be fixed:
* Removing “via” points by double-click does not work in Konqueror
* Very rarely, strange things happen after dragging “via” points: hundreds of JavaScript errors appear or the map itself is not draggable anymore.
* The different versions of Internet Explorer need to be tested (I suspect that it works in none of them properly.)
* Test in Opera 10.0.

Moin !

am Wochenende steht der Truppenübungsplatz "Bergen-Hohne" [1] für das Volksradfahren [2], [3] zur Verfügung.

Eine Chance, die es nur einmal im Jahr gibt, um dieses Gelände legal aufzumessen.

ATL/SotM.us, here I come.

Mapping Marano and Grado lagoon (Friuli Venezia Giulia - Italy) using WMS PCN (Portale Cartogafico Nazionale).

Main goals:

1. checking coastline;
2. islands and islets;
3. tidal areas (at this time using the tags natural:wetland+wetland:tidalflat);
4. low mobile dry lands as natural:mud (due rendering on Mapnik);
5. defining waterways as non tidal zones;
6. names of channels, islands, zone, etc etc;
7. "Litoranea Veneta" relation.

Als kleine eerste bijdrage aan de ontwikkelingen rondom tactiele kaarten op OSM in Nederland heb ik een vertaling gemaakt van de OSM wiki pagina over tactiele kaarten. Er zijn nog diverse verwante wiki pagina's, die ik gaandeweg waarschijnlijk ook zal vertalen.

---

As a small first contribution to the developments concerning tactile maps on OSM in the Netherlands, I have translated the OSM wiki page on tactile maps into Dutch. There are many relevant wiki pages, which I presumably will translate along the way.

This time it's mainly a bug fix release. The new features are:

- add general timezone support to database and config file
- display all timestamps converted to local timezone
- automatic geotag photos using trackpoints from GPX files

Check its homepage (http://phpmygpx.tuxfamily.org/) for full changelog.

Having some trouble with the 0.6 release, I decided to focus on bug fixing before adding lots of new features. Thanks again to all of you reporting bugs and suggesting improvements!

Nethertheless it is still lacking some documentation. Please feel free to expand its wiki page:

I am supposed to be going to a wedding, in fact I will go to the wedding, I thought I would carry a day sack with a camera and my Garmin ( well you never know when a quick mapping opportunity might come up, do you )

Downloaded the area in JOSM - converted it to an IMG file using MKGMAP. Out of interest I checked that the map was in the unit correctly and that the hotel I was going to was there. The hotel was there, but listed in the Garmin as a restaurant.

Checking the Josm data, it is indeed listed as tourism > hotel, and amenity > restaurant.

The Garmin has chosen a priority, and not one that I would agree with, I assume most hotels have restaurants.

Just an observation really - dilemma, do you delete the amenity > restaurant so that the place ( which would list itself as a hotel, with a restaurant ), or fix the MKGMAP method of ordering?
