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

driven to details

Have you guys done street lighting yet?: http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/?zoom=13&lat=51.09126&lon=13.71586&layers=B00000000000000FT

Please help checking country node positions of African states

I don't even remember, but I think I was using XAPI to get the data at that time, then editing in any editor.

Lamp posts (tagging question)

I have done an overlay for my map showing lit=yes/no at http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/?zoom=13&lat=51.05712&lon=13.74187&layers=B00000000000000FT

A different kind of tagging (highway = street_lamp; lamp_mount = suspended; lamp_type = fluorescent) is here: osm.org/browse/changeset/878559

TopOSM update: Map legend and countour line labels

Thanks very much for the script, will try it soon on my map.

TopOSM update: Map legend and countour line labels

The second one is http://crschmidt.net/osm/mapnik/legend I suppose? I also remember the first one, but it too was far from an automated solution.

TopOSM update: Map legend and countour line labels

The dynamic map key on the OSM site is indeed very new, but updated manually. For this, your script would get a different backend to write the yml file format directly I suppose.
I am very interested in the script for my own Mapnik rendering project (http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/) - right now, I'm rendering a faux map with the interesting features, but that has lots of problems.

And FWIW, http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/Legending now also has a link to this post. :)

TopOSM update: Map legend and countour line labels

This legend-extractor script of yours is very interesting. Are you releasing the source? It could even live in Mapnik SVN or mapnik-utils at least...

And the map looks even more awesome now!

Maps in developing countries...

Oh, I incorrectly assumed ref was not set at all, I just saw the name written along the road. I thought steve8 had fixed the frequency of the shield rendering, but maybe not for all highway types and/or all zooms.

Maps in developing countries...

A small improvement would be to correctly tag the "D854", "D850" etc. as ref, not as name so that they are displayed with a shield. And I agree they should be rated higher than tertiary (from your report and that of a friend).

Yahoo Chamonix Mont Blanc

Where do you see GeoEye imagery? I certainly don't see those in the Yahoo tiles that are in e.g. Potlatch. I would be happy to be shown otherwise of course :)
