О нас
- We are sad to inform everyone about the loss of our very dedicated member of the weeklyOSM team, Dr. Bogus Zaba aka bogzab. He passed away this week after a short illness. He will always remain in thoughts and we'll always remember him for his contribution and dedication towards weeklyOSM and OpenStreetMap. We've lost a friend. Adieu Bogus, Jinal from Bangalore. Es una pena perder un miembro tan valioso, un saludo de Laura de La Habana de Cuba.
Картирование
- In an article in geops.de, the authors of TRAVIC discuss why there are differences in traffic routes between TRAVIC and reality. The authors encourage users to help improve the routing by correcting the routes in OSM, adding transportation vehicles types (bus, tram, etc) and names.
- Many mappers who used the new JOSM 9900 had problems with the OAuth certification. Solution in JOSM:
- Edit -> Preferences, Connection Settings (Second Icon from top - looks like a globe).
- Go to the Authentication tab (oAuth) -> New Access Token
- Choose from the dropdown menu -> Semi-automatic
- Select Retrieve Request Token (a new browser window will open, select
grant access
.) and then again select Retrieve Access Token -> Accept Access Token. (Video)
The upcoming release 1003 should remove the OAuth problem.
- Matthijs Melissen reports that
office=government
tag has been approved. The proposal also suggests marking the alternatives tagsamenity=public_building
andoffice=administrative
as 'discouraged'. - On the OpenRailwayMap mailing list Alexander Matheisen proposes a tag to map the importance of train stations. This is based on a proposal by user Skunk from 2009 modified to be more useable in large countries (e.g. USA).
- User Rub21 writes his diary post on how to use OSMLint to detect errors in OpenStreetMap based on vector data tiles.
- TIGER data (which had been imported to OSM) often shows questionable quality and accuracy.
- Users Warin has made a proposal to tag the product ranges of POIs on the tagging mailing list, but this has been criticised on several points. The developers of iD and Vespucci are bothered by the use of an unlimited number of keys. Frederik Ramm speculates about importing a supermarket's entire product list (and the dangers of inviting this). He points out that OSM is not a business directory and is not the right place to map ontologies.
- The UK Quarterly Projects is supported by MapRoulette. (click Sign in → Pick another Challenge, then scroll down and select UK schools). Additionally, the UK mapped the most number of new schools in one day, on the 2nd of March.
- user bjoern262 is asking in the OSM Forum for help on how to effectively map diversions in public transportation routes so that they can be "deleted" easily.
