Hi all

I just reactivated my stone-old osm livetracker: http://datenkueche.com/osmlive/

Die neuen Minute Diffs sind da und meine Ticker auf

http://datenkueche.com/osmlive/
und http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.83/index.php -> ticker funktionieren wieder.

Auch Sound gibt es: http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.83/index.php#sound

osmlive was broken. Now it works again.

Hi all

I started a Wordpress page for the khtml.maplib.

http://maplib.khtml.org/wordpress/

You can see now the people editing the map in real time at:

http://khtml.org (click "ticker")

Every edit results in an icon on the map.
The map is move and zoomable.
Clicking on the icons will show all tags of the
node or way.

have fun

Bernhard

Hi all

Many of you maybe already know the khtmlib map library.
Some people give me feedback, that some settings are not correct.
The biggest problem is to configure the zoomspeed for mousewheel.

I don't have a usability lab. This is open source software and I can't
invest money in professional testers and hardware.

For fine-tuning I need your help.
Have a look at
http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.47/config/
There are 9 parameters to adjust. Please try to find settings that work
on your computer. If your settings are ok please press the "Publish Config" button.

The configurations are sent automaticaly to my webserver.
From this informations I can improve the software.

Hi all

My old "osmlive" was broken and I made a new version:

http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.44/xmppmap/

You can see live where people are editing.
Now it's also possible to zoom in and have a chat with other mappers.

Bernhard

Today I finished the "setBounds" method.

That means that selecting by -mouse will result in a nice zoom.
But sorry, still no internet explorer support.

Have a look:
http://khtml.org

Does it work?

thanks

Bernhard

Microsoft presented the first beta of internet Explorer 9.

What das it mean for Webmaps?

Direct2D will speed up map rendering:
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/10MapZooming/Default.html
(bing map)

opensource map:
http://www.khtml.org/iphonemap/examples/automapzoom.html
(webkit is good on that)

Hardware accelerated SVG will allow to use vectorgraphics as map overlay.

As already announced in the mailing list, I have a new map online. It's a complete new implementation and does not use openlayer map library.

I developed it for webkit browsers including iPhone. For iPhone I had to use hardware accelerated image rendering to do proper moultitouch.
Chrome and Safari offers also hardware acceleration. Firefox and Internet Explorer announced to support Direct 2D.

With faster browsers a smooth zoom is possible. Try to load some images to the browser cache by zooming in and out. The zoom by doubleclick should be an animation with at least 10 frames/sec (fullscreen).

Please try this in an webkit browser. Opera 10.50 has also very nice speed.
It's still Beta and internet explorer and konqueror are not supported.
Firefox works slower but will speedup in 3.7 Version. If you have 3.7 alpha you have to enable the 2d css.

If you like it and have some cool improvement ideas or bugreport, come to
to Project Home at:
http://github.com/robotnic/khtmlib

Fly back: You can move and zoom the map. If you don't know where you are, you can click on the button with the undo symbol. You will have an nice animation that moves you the way back you came.

Geolocation: find your own position (if you want)

iPhone Link: It is possible to automatic generate a QR-Codes that opens a link including map coordinates. On iPhone you can use this QR-Code to open the map view by make a picture of QR-Code on your computer sreen.

Link to Editors: You can directly use the current view to edit it in potlatch and josm.

Fullscreen: start fullscreen mode and than press F11.

Hi all

Firefox is now able to calculate the users geolocation. This is done with WIFI signals.
People are a bit scared about that ;-)
If you wanna see that with openstreetmap, go to

http://www.khtml.org

If you click at "Follow geolocation" the map center follows you if you walk around with your computer.

Have fun

I have seen a map with all the swine flu cases.
They are mostly in Mexico and USA.
Some cases are in other countries.

After watching http://datenkueche.com/osmlive/ for hours I think Open Street Map is a virus that is very common in Europe with some cases in other Regions.

It's now possible to see in "realtime" where people are editing the map.

On tuesday I will start a 3 month jourey to South East Asia.
I will travel by bicycle from Bangkok to Laos and than to Burma.

There are many white areas on the map in these countrys.
My netbook will come with me and I will also improve my slippy map and my online dictionary.

My "zoom zoom zoom map" is now available at

Hi all

I made a new Slippy Map.
The new thing is, that it's possible to zoom in an out very fast.
At least at my computer it works excellent.

Turn your mouse wheel at:

http://lamp2.fhstp.ac.at/~lbz/beispiele/ws2008/oomap4/index.php

On my 1 GHz Celeron Laptop it zooms with about 15 frames/second.

I tested it with Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.0 (Linus/Wine - strange error with missing tiles), Opera, Konqueror (no wheel mouse support) Ubuntu Linux.

Keycodes, mouse scrollspeed, ... are maybe different on different system - it's a beta version.

Feedback is welcome.

Bernhard

Simple Slippy Map

http://lamp2.fhstp.ac.at/~mt071019/meta1/b6/

The Students learn DOM. It's a very simple example for firefox only.

Known Bugs:
Event handling does not work in IE
Opera has Problems with absolute positioning and large numbers
...

Tomorrow is deadline. I hope they will not kill the servers with too much requests.
