Auto roads, part 3

I would love to play with this if you need anyone to do some testing for you. I’m doing a lot of tracing round the SW of Ireland and the contrast if very high between the green fields and the tarmac so it might be an easier test bed

The whole “betamax was better than VHS” thing is a myth

My First Diary Entry

Welcome

Historical view of openstreetmap

Thanks guys. Obviously not as easy a question as I thought

Bing Maps updated.

Very exciting. Huge swathes of SW Ireland are now visible

"UAV could map archeological sites in a fraction of the time currently required"

True

Island problem

Thanks for that. The administrative relation was there before I started so I can’t really comment on that

Just so I understand - by multipolygon does this mean that there are multiple objects that relate to each other? I’m not really sure I understand the concept, but I can see what you did on the map. Is there a webpage that easily explains this?

Cheers

Leaving Oklahoma, and a question about mapping autonomous regions

This has been in the news recently

A way to use Getmapping imagery

All sounds like derived works to me, which I thought was a no-no.

First contact with OSM

Welcome and happy mapping!

Can't see my recent additions

If you zoom out, they normally show up within an hour or two now. There was an announcement here

Hiking, Caching and Mapping around Ardingly...15/03/2009

That sounds like a top day out. I spent the day working in an office in Central London with no natural light 8-(

Stories like this make me glad I'm expatriating

Where would you go? I remember Indian politicians making the same noise after the recent terrorist attacks over there.

The reason you hear less noise from European politicians on this subject is not because they're more intelligent, it's because the US owns all the satellites and would tell them to get lost anyway. The UK military have been making peeved noises about google maps only this week

Hi Etienne,

Following on from the first post from farrpau, I had a email discussion with Andy Robinson and said I'd send it off to him there

Best Regards

Welcome

Driveways

I'm in central France at the moment, and all the driveways are on the Tomtom I've got. They're really useful when you're navigating.

I'd say leave them in

Hello

Welcome 8-)
