All other renderers show the area correctly. This is possibly related to administrative borders rendering.

I know the page is too long — try this illustrated tutorial.

In this political map I've manually updated data in a PostGIS database, and rendered a patch for Crimea, which I then overlayed on top of a world map. Much visual effect comes just from different colouring, which is easy to create using one of TileMill's example projects.

Правильно - в Крыму, но о Крыме. Только что посмотрел, поправил в заметке, спасибо.

бгг автор, предлагай ещё

Отличный и подробный текст, спасибо. Из поправок — что вместо building:material чаще используется building:cladding.

Также удобно собирать номера домов с обходными листами, где контуры этих домов уже есть, обрисованные по спутниковым снимкам.

There is also the CommandLine plugin which executes shell scripts.

Would you add an imagery offset database support? At least for downloading offsets.

Здравствуйте. А почему вы решили вести свой блог на картографической площадке?

Frederic, I doubt it. The graph shows that Sochi region was mapped when a very active local mapper appeared. He would have done so whether there was an Olympics or not. Russian press was silent on the topic until around 2012.

Не бойтесь разбивать линии. Это нормально.

Pleasy use imagery offset database for storing offsets so they are available to other mappers in your region.

Спасибо! Но если вы их загрузили, то почему их нет в этом списке? Если у вас есть, то им нужно поменять режим видимости на «идентифицируемый» или «публичный».

А как это связано?

The problem is, only one of those services/plugins offer raw textual data for user's objects that can be edited by hand and copied into another medium, and it's GeoJSON — rather cumbersome and hard to read, especially in small textareas. Most of these just show a map with almost no extra information. So that makes MapBBCode the first attempt at the task. The bbcode can be integrated into your MediaWiki extensions, just by allowing content inside the tags. But OpenLayers is so 2009 :)

I intend to see the adoption of the bbcode through. There is a module in the works for OSM's forum, and we are planning to invade a lot of russian offroading and cycling forums, making open source plugins along the way. It, of course will take time, but surely is inevitable.

baditaflorin, did you try clicking on a line (between points)? There is a popup panel with a "Delete" button.

Oh wow. That is the greatest honour one can receive in this project. My life is now complete. Thank you :)

Those are not polygon labels, but regular markers inside polygons. There is a way to add popups to polygons by editing the raw code, but adding markers was proved to be more intuitive for users.

Are you reinventing o5m?
