Tertiary roads

In the UK you would not expect highway=tertiary roads to have a number. Could that be switched on and off separately from missing ref=* tags on more important roads? --Wynndale 17:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Here you are. But I though that roads without number where supposed to be unclassified roads... by definition ;-) Sletuffe 21:42, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

FIXMEs

Some nodes are tagged note="FIXME...". These should appear in the 'fixme' view as well as in the 'notes' view.

Well, that would make the style a little harder to write, and string comparaison are more CPU intensive. I suppose that's not a big deal to switch from fixmes to notes to see them (or else I would propose to convert "note=FIXME blabla" to "fixme=blabla" ) sletuffe 09:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, are you picking up FIXME=... tags?

No, I do only pickup fixme=... (lowercase) tags as described here on the wiki : fixme=* sletuffe 09:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I've changed that to support FIXME (uppercase) & fixme (lowercase) at the same time, also the proposition on the wiki states it should be lowercase sletuffe 11:02, 28 September 2010 (BST)

Administrative surfaces

• what is the red line on (most) borders for? Here one is missing and i don't see why. wambacher

Honestly, I don't remember why I displayed that in the first place... the rule is to show a red line on every border with [admin_level]='8' or [admin_level]='6' or [admin_level]='2' but I don't remember why only those level and for what goal....

I think I'm just going to remove them unless I remember what was the expected use. sletuffe 11:08, 28 September 2010 (BST)

Correct admin boundary relations are not rendering properly

There are several boundary relations that are not properly being rendered.

An example is the blank spot here: http://beta.letuffe.org/?zoom=16&lat=14.57169&lon=121.03378&layers=000B0FFFFFFFTFFFFFFFFF

Yet the two relations in that blank spot are complete and connect end-to-end:

• http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/134808

This tool does not update anymore out of europe because the server is not strong enough and was spending all it's time on updating the database. Unfortunetly, I plan to completly remove data from outside europe for disk space reasons. In the event of a new and stronger server available to me, I'll be covering the world again, but it's unlikely to occur soon. Sorry ;-( sletuffe 12:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Can't you move to wikipedia toolserver? How about updating only once a month but the whole world? --Lulu-Ann 13:18, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I could, but it might not be worth it. I do really recommand using OSM Inspector which I find much better than my "toy" tool for finding boundaries breakage and geometries errors. (I created those boundary rendering at a time where osm inspector did not propose it and is now kept for France special cases and needs). As of the month updates, this tool is only a side use of my database (The main use beeing openhikingmap for which I want quicker updates) sletuffe 13:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Aww... sorry to hear that. OSM Inspector only covers Europe too for admin boundaries. I guess I have to find another solution or make a tool myself. --seav 02:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

The coverage is now extended to the whole world sletuffe 10:46, 6 April 2012 (BST)
