Привык что в Нижегородской области отмечены абсолютно все деревни, очень удивился, что в соседней Кировской не отмечены даже достаточно крупные сёла.

Is it bad form to write 2 diary entries in one day? Possibly. But the network drives in the office have conked out, and it's Friday afternoon, and I have this all ready to go, so what the hell.

London's lost rivers have fascinated me ever since I first read about them, and since I started cycling in London the contours have fascinated me too. Finding a way to visualise these things was what first got me into OSM (via Maperitive), but I never found the time to finish the job to a reasonable standard. So here's a first attempt, see what you think:

Croydon takes a lot of stick -- it was heavily bombed during the war, with any remaining traditional aesthetics being destroyed in the '60s under a council masterplan to establish it as a centre of commerce. It's a "working-class" town in unfashionable South London, with high levels of poverty, and of course was hit by rioting in 2011.

But it's also cheap (for London) and easy to get around, generally friendly, and has various places of interest if you know where to look. It also has a number of local blogs and webpages, including the excellent Completists' Guide run by Kake Pugh (http://croydon.randomness.org.uk -- a sometime OSM contributor herself I think). As you can see if you click through, it's a treasure trove of POI info. So instead of gathering POIs from scratch, I've been able to print off details from the site to take with me on surveys, making notes where needed (kinda like Walking Papers). I've now added building and shop info for all of central Croydon, with only London Road (aka West Croydon aka Broad Green) to go.

With a new shopping centre and various "public realm improvements" planned, hopefully the town is on the up, and maybe OSM (and the Completists' Guide) can help in some way, who knows.

S'organitza a Catalunya Nord una mapping party l'1 de juny a Cotlliure. Esperem aprofitar l'avinentesa per anar teixint vincles amb els contribuïdors de contrades veïnes, d'Occitània i del Principat, dins un ambient a la vegada molt agradable i, tot i ser prou turístic, bastant propici a milloraments cartogràfics a l'OpenStreetMap com (cada equip podrà escollir el tema que més li agradi):

• els hotels i restaurants,
• les botigues i locals d'artistes (prou abundants a Cotlliure),
• el «petit patrimoni» (estàtues i monuments, tomba de Machado, etc.),
• els eventuals elements de toponímia catalana,
• pot ser que restin uns elements del litoral a afegir, com les casetes de vigilància,
• pàrquings, passos de vianants, accessos restringits i/o accessibilitat (places reservades, etc.).
• corregir la zona del castell reial (no em sembla que tot pertanyi a l'exèrcit com ho està apuntat actualment).

De moment la cita és a les 11 del matí a la platja del Vorama (estem discutint per saber si millor reunir-nos a les 11 o 2 de la tarda).

Od 7 lat prowadzę szkolenia, tzw miękkie, dlatego wiele podróżuję i widziałam dużo miejsc w kraju i po za nim. Zanim zaczęłam organizować szkolenia dla firm byłam przekonana, że cena ma duży wpływ na jakość sal, otoczenia ośrodków i ogólnie na całość. Życie szybko mylne przekonania zweryfikowało. Obecnie posiadam w swoim notatniku kilka miejsc, do których stale wracam, jedno z nich znajduje się nad Zalewem Zegrzyńskim w okolicy Warszawy.

Ze względów pragmatycznych (w końcu prowadzę swoją działalność, więc jakby nie patrzeć też jest to ważne, ale nie najważniejsze) wybrałam jeden z ośrodków, których cena do jakości pasuje mi najbardziej. Szkolenia prowadzę 20-sto osobowe i takie sale szkoleniowe wybieram, często korzystam ze sprzętu na miejscu - pod tym względem jest w porządku. Największym plusem jest bliskość wody, po szkoleniach często wynajmujemy łódki, a szczególnym hitem jest wioska wikingów. Chociaż ciężko się kursantom skupić na następny dzień to wspominają moje szkolenia prze długi czas, a to kolejna wartość dodana :)

There are quite a few ways in the database which are passing by several times the same point. Such an example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/191420773

There are lot of those in this area, but I've such seen a ways a bit everywhere in the map. It seems like it's pretty easy to do with Potlatch, and really hard to fix :-/

Anyway, is there a tool to fix such a way? Or maybe someone has a tip on how to fix them easily?

Cycle route stats

In an effort to calculate some cycle route stats in Scotland for this weekend's cycling protest called Pedal on Parliament, I created a cycle stats website.

It uses an R script to download the latest data from fabulous Geofabrik, it then cookie cuts .osm Scotland into MSP constituencies. The boundary data is from OS Open Data (simplified and processed into polylines in QGIS). The .osm data is converted into data.frames and analysed using osmar library for cycle route relations and ways.

There are more than a few assumptions and hacks in the process and some unexpected results.

Basically, I think I'm asking a bit too much of the osmar library and I need to try a database approach. But it works - kind of.

Traced the building footprints of HOT task. I uploaded without comments.

Got bored with doing postboxen now. I'm as confused as h**l about FMR's ever-changing bus routes, and their strange geometry. I've started to do the 43 route from Malvern to Upton s/ Severn, but I can't get the hang of relations. Specifically, how do I get a relation marked as "incomplete" (or does this mean "incompletely downloaded"?)? How to do spurs/loops ? How to accommodate a one-way loop where both directions of a route appear to go in the same direction ? How to accommodate the situation where a route serves the same roads/stops in the same direction on the same trip ? (There's one bus route here which serves one stop, dives into a housing estate, and emerges and serves the same stop again; sometimes the drivers go round and round this loop all day, until they reach escape velocity.)

A partir del viernes 18 de mayo se abren los nuevos accesos a Bilbao por San Mamés. Ya está modificado en OSM, para dar tiempo a que se actualice en otros servicios y poder ver como van a ser las circulaciones.

New road access to Bilbao, will open on friday 18th May.
