Revival of Openptmap

I’m thinking that it might be an option to tag the steam train line with service=tourism and exclude lines with such tags from the render style.

I have created issues #1 and #2 for this.

Revival of Openptmap

It seems like anything with the tags route='train' or route='railway' or line='rail' is rendered as a train line.

Looking at the docs, route='railway' should probably not be marked as a train line. It seems that the Openptmap styles have a strong focus on Germany.

Looking at the way you linked, it does seem to be part of one route='train' relation (Steamtown Excursions). I would argue that rendering it as a train line is not wrong according to the tags. If you find a tag that would distinguish such occasional services from regular ones, I can think of trying to adjust the style.

Revival of Openptmap

Hey Hartmut, MyOSMatic looks like a quite useful tool, and I would love to integrate it into FacilMap one day to make maps exportable there.

Could you point me to where the Openptmap style is defined in the MyOSMatic source code? Does MyOSMatic use the original osmfilter file, or did you replicate the original Openptmap style in another format?

FacilMap 2 has been released

@Severak: The frontend connects to the server using socket.io, and the protocol is quite simple. Unfortunately it is not documented so far, but maybe you can get an idea by reading the code of the server-side part. If you need any more detailed information, let me know, I could also document the protocol if you need it.

@Marián: Yes, unfortunately the Nominatim reverse geocoding is neither very fast nor very clever. I hope to find a different provider…

@CloCkWeRX: Good idea, will add it soon.

Route Manager and History Viewer

Okay, I have activated some detailed logging, and it seems that there is in fact a dead lock somewhere.

Running more tasks at a time will not bring a speed improvement but only consume more memory as the limitation of speed is the OSM API.

The fairest policy would be to not have a queue at all but to process everything at the same time. The problem is that for an analysation to run, lots of OSM objects need to be kept in memory. That’s the reason why I implemented the queue, because this way the memory consumption is kept as low as possible.

I have reset the queue now. I don’t know how to avoid this, but one minute is way too short as a timeout (the relation blame function takes a long time even for small relations). Maybe I will create separate queues for the different functions.

OpenLinkMap layer in FacilMap

Added a feature request for OpenSeaMap layer on http://bugs.cdauth.eu/index.php?do=details&task_id=59

This is something that you have to suggest to the author of OpenLinkMap, as I am only using its data.

Route Manager and History Viewer

What position in the queue does it display for your changeset? As there is one queue for all functions of Route Manager and History Viewer, it is not unlikely that the queue takes a long time to process, as especially the Relation Blame function of History Viewer can take very long.

I read about that bookmarklet some time ago and created two Greasemonkey scripts that create a link on the changeset and relation pages: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/92779 and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/92776

OpenOrienteeringMap now for the whole world

Am I seeing this right that the new Street-O tiles don’t have a transparent background anymore? That would be a pity, the old tiles made it possible to display a real Google-Hybrid lookalike with OpenStreetMap data.
Nevertheless, great work!

Nominatim search result icons

Very nice, thanks for the tip!

New OpenStreetBugs client, translators needed

At the moment, Translatewiki seems to be too complicated, as translators have to register and request permission to translate. It doesn’t seem to be possible to create a new project. On the other hand the number of languages that my tools could be translated to would probably be much higher on Translatewiki because non-OpenStreetMap users could help with the translation as well.

At the moment, I prefer the OpenStreetMap wiki, as it is more newcomer-friendly.

Live Permalinks

Yep, that’s something I’ve wanted to implement for some time, done now.

Google MapMaker: What now?

In Google MapMaker, people can map without going out with a GPS device, because of the good satellite images (I haven’t ever used it, but I suppose they use the normal Google Satellite imagery). Furthemore I don’t think that they care much about copyright when they insert street names and other information.
This is not possible in OSM.

Country roads around Lismore

Your changeset is finally viewable in OSM History Viewer. It was so big that I had to increase the memory limit in Java. ;-)

OSM History Viewer

Now you can also enter changeset IDs with a #.

I almost suspected it to work incorrectly, thanks for the tip and for saving me the time to find it out myself.
