OpenStreetMap
I’m happy to announce the launch of a new in-browser Curvature map with worldwide coverage. Now you can browse the map without any need to download KML files and open them in GoogleEarth. Planning trips on twisty roads has never been easier.
Curvature is a program that analyzes the geometry of OSM roads and generates a map of the most twisty roads, color-coded by how many curves they have. I use it to identify fun roads for motorcycle touring.

This is a brief overview of how I edit Open Street Map (OSM) to add adjoining land-cover areas as multipolygons with shared boundary ways to reduce duplication and overlapping ways.
The area I’m editing, is replete with examples of this type of mapping: osm.org/#map=14/44.0199/-73.1530

By now many folks have seen Geoff Boeing’s really neat charts of street orientation that highlight how “gridded” (or not) the layout of city streets are:
Since Geoff was kind enough to provide a full open-source tool-chain, I decided to tweak it to chart the orientations of the streets of some cities and villages in my home state of Vermont:
Unfortunately, until I get around to importing Vermont town boundaries, not all towns will be super easy to include in this analysis.
