Actually Morwen, although they do render, under-construction roads won't get rendered correctly yet on t@h.

The reason is that there is a bug in the code - it's ticket #539 on Trac.

A fix would be to remove the "stroke=#f8f8f8" part from the "under-construction" style

I don't have SVN commit, so can't make the change myself.

One week today until the Newcastle mapping party takes to the streets!

Still time to get involved!

See: osm.wiki/index.php/Newcastle_Mapping_Event

Thank you!

I've added a building and a footpath to the map on the edge of a dock in Hull, UK. Nothing strange about that you might think, until you realise that the path goes over the building. The public right-of-way goes over the roof of a warehouse, at about 8m high, near the Albert dock, via steps at both ends.

Today ive started to track my home village - Turnišče.

Sairio ja Hätilä on ihan tässä vieressä, joten rupesin niiden kanssa puuhaamaan seuraavaksi. Sairionmäki sinne jo syntyikin :)

Higgy - t@h will render your in-construction roads if you set highway=construction, then construction to whatever you'd set highway to (unclassified, primary, trunk, etc). They will come out as a dashed version of the normal rendering.

Yesterday I decided to brave the elements and unintentionally limited gearing on my bicycle and get some mapping done locally (I've been doing bits on various journeys and other places I've been - see Stalham, Norfolk and Mold/Wrexham and bits in between, Flintshire).

Persimmon Homes are building on the site of the former M&B owned, hence 'Deer's Leap,' Cape Hill Brewery. This has been the cause of quite some controversy as nearby is the Deer's Leap wood nature reserve, which the developers have not taken into consideration appropriately and have bulldozed sections of (for more information on this see http://www.ladywoodconservatives.com/votersview/DLW.htm).

Anyhow, a very small stretch of road on the site was accessible when I was passing the area so I took to opportunity to survey that. Obviously I'll need to go back in the new year to record a bit more. Another one up on the competitors!

If anyone knows how to tag roads as being under construction so they get rendered, do let me know.

Keskusta, Myllymäki, Kankaantausta ja Hattelmala alkaa olemaan pääosin valmiita. Lisäksi isompia teitä on siirtynyt karttaan aika reippaasti. Korjailin myös Hämeenlinnan ympäristön valtateiden sillat.

Jostain syystä E-12:n pohjoisesta tuleva kaista oli Hämptonin pohjoispuolelta lähtien yhtä siltaa ties mistä saakka :)

Prendete nota di queste date: 26 e 27 gennaio 2008
Il comune di Arezzo ospiterà il primo Mapping Party italiano.
Speriamo di avere anche te con noi a mappare.

Take note of this date: 26th-27th january 2008
Arezzo Municipality will host the firts Italian Mapping Party.
We hope to have you mapping with us!

Earlier this month, I wrote to various departments in the Falkland Islands governnment. The tourist board said they'd love to help, but didn't have any data that they could give me. They also said that the minerals department would be the only people that might have the data, but that they didn't own the copyright, so they wouldn't be able to help either.

However, a week or two later I got an e-mail from the Government Land Surveyor, who asked if I could use some dxf data (exported from AutoCAD). He's since sent data covering the road network of the Islands, street-level data for Stanley (the capital) and locations of all the settlements.

The Stanley data is now imported, and can be viewed on the Osmarender layer on the slippy map the Mapnik layer doesn't show it yet)

Just to say to anyone in Cork, Ireland that I'm doing some work naming
streets in the City - happy to collaborate and hear what anyone
else is doing in the same area. Thinking about maybe getting a GPS
at some point to be able to capture some tracks as well.

Someone new is mapping! Looks like they drive all over Kársnes, in Kopavogur. A couple of comments for that person: Good to see you drove it all! however, some of your streets weren't actually connected. The lines overlapped, but they didn't actually meet at points, so they wouldn't have ever been routeable.

Secondly, I think you've been a little overzealous with labelling things tertiary :) Almost every street in Kársnes is not tertiary, I'd say borgaholtsbraut and karsnesbraut only. Also, I see you added your own tags for "Industrial" for the Vesturvör, Hafnarbraut and Bakkabraut. I know OSM tags can be anything at all, but so far all the "industrial" areas in town have been marked as residential streets. I think "Abutters" is the UK way of showing land use at least, basically, marking them as the made tag "Industrial" will make them render rather strangely, if at all.

Oh, and could you add yourself to the iceland project page please? If I'd know there was someone around Kársnes I wouldn't have driven around there myself today :)

However added hotels and hospitals, I think there's a character set problem. The name has boxes for chars like ó and í. Not sure what happened there :)

Finally, I've updated the location of the ring road in Norðurádalur, just west of Öxnadalsheiði, now that the roadworks up there are finally finished. For anyone else looking at this area, despite the MULTITUDE of gps tracks to the north, that is no longer the correct location. :) My single track _is_ the right place, despite appearances.

Heute habe ich die ersten Strassen von Reislingen und Reislingen Südwest eingestellt.
Sobald die nächsten GPS-Traces vorliegen kommen die Nebenstrassen und Wege dran.

Siderurgistilor neighborhood is finally completed. Will continue with Tiglina 1, and maybe Tiglina 3/M16.

Have created a loop from Tamworth to Glen Innes to Moree back down to Narrabri the acrros to Tamworth again. The aim is to focus on this area, do everything that can be done with Landsat and get it right...

Yesterday evening i had a talk at a LIFOS meeting. 14 peoples attended and everybody was very interested in our project.

I will have some similar meeting in the next weeks with other Linux User Groups hoping to spread the word of OSM

Tuli otettua sitten reilu 50km gps-polkua talteen ja täytyy kyllä sanoa, että tuo kartan piirtely on suhteellisen addiktoivaa puuhaa. Hämeenlinnan ruutukaava on paria pientä tienpätkää vaille valmis, samoin Kankaantaustan alue.

Seuraavaksi käyn käsiksi ilmeisesti loppuun Myllymäestä.

So I got an HSDPA 3.5G modem for the boat, and I can finally use my G5 again for OSM stuff. Consequently I have spent the last n hours trying to install the Rails port on OS X 10.3 - and, hoorah hoorah, finally succeeding. Much fun. (Incidentally, I now want to kill the author of RMagick.)

More usefully - I can now do some editing in the evenings! I've done one chunk of Burton tonight and will keep ploughing through the notes I'd already taken.

I just loaded my GPS traces for Ratingen and Düsseldorf.

I took them during the last three weeks by bike.

Now I will start editing the maps and add a lot of new streets.

Bye
