I like MapDroyd, OruxMaps, RMaps, OsmAnd, Skobbler. Also take a look at OsmTracker.

Kersey Lane in Deptford, NJ, US fixed

Welcome! But beware, it's highly addictive :)

Virtual Bike Across Canada - Day 004 Port Alberni, BC

Nice example, thanks for the note. One sugestion: if you screenshot the print preview, it will not have that ugly permalink at the bottom, but instead the full URL of CC-by-SA. (OTOH, in Firefox I always get a slightly different area than what I see when looking at the map in the normal way.)

Hillshading Plus Relief Coloring

The awesome Dane Springmeyer wrote http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/sandbox/tileblender/ for solving that problem when you absolutely need a single tile. Of course, if you are doing this specifically for such mobile applications, it makes sense to optimize for it and not incur the overhead of two tiles.

Hillshading Plus Relief Coloring

Looks pretty good. The pixels can be smoothed further with other GDAL options I think - take a look at the links in the link below.

FWIW, for only the hillshading (i.e. not the color relief), I'm doing it a bit differently: osm.wiki/Hillshading_using_the_Alpha_Channel_of_an_Image

Vielleicht sollten wir ganz altmodisch das hier lernen: http://www.ingenieurgeograph.de/Topographieren/topographieren.html
(lustig zu lesen)

This site is awesome

In addition to what was said: welcome, and beware. "Beware" because you may soon find out that OSM is really addictive :)

Help needed please

Did you maybe "Save" the track? If so, don't, use the track from the Micro SD card as-is.

Topographical Model

http://hikebikemap.de for one

XC Ski Trail Map

For hillshading of any OSM-style map, you can use the hillshading tiles of hikebikemap.de (and also the flat hikebike layer if you want).

Potlatch under Ubuntu not usable

Maybe the fix described here helps?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407

Start up

Lies vielleicht mal ein bisschen im Blog von http://bodenseepeter.de

Radwege in Openstreetmap

Prinzipiell kann Mapnik das jetzt, aber es hat noch keiner in das Stylesheet eingebaut: http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/180

Now over thousand embassies tagged with country code

To be really nitpicky, it should be country=DE (uppercase), since you are talking about the country, not the language (compare with addr:country). But it doesn't matter so much (and is automatable if needed), it's a great job anyway, so thanks!

Frustration

Genau. Wichtig ist aber noch, dass die Datei im Verzeichnis "Garmin" auf der Speicherkarte liegen muss.

Mapping Party in Nossen

Danke :)

Mapping Party in Nossen

Cascadenik/Mapnik mit einem eigenen Stil. Siehe http://hikebikemap.de. Dort sind noch alte Daten und nur fuer Thueringen/Sachsen, aktuelle fuer die ganze Welt kommen hoffentlich in ein paar Wochen.

Live Permalinks

Cool. I will certainly use this.

My first day with OSM

Have fun, and beware: mapping is addictive :)

Camping in the Volacanos

There is even a tag for volcanos on the Map Features page: osm.wiki/Tag:natural%3Dvolcano

I enjoy reading your diary entries, please keep them up. And several thousand kilometers of road is just wow...

Cheers
