Hi,

habe nicht so viel gemappt, aber dafür viel programmiert und auch erste Ergebnisse vorzuweisen.

Viel Spaß

Look at section 1.

Hi,

been to Eltville today for mapping activities and I contributed my first PERL scripts today. Look at: osm.wiki/index.php/Perl_Scripts#.2Fapplications.2Futils.2Fplanet.osm.2Fperl

Hi,

I mapped a part of Weilbach today. Streets are mostly present but no names yet. Added a few amenities and cycleways also. I wrote my first two PERL scripts to evaluate OSM files. Quite nice. I am trying to get an access to the SVN currently. Then i will try to produce a more sophisticated script and publish. I plan to program some quality check/assurance. But right now it's only a draft...

Cheers

Gary68

so, finally I made it to my first OSM PERL program. my program takes an osm file and counts the number of ways, the number of "my" ways and the number of lines in the file. not world moving but in a new language with regular expressions not too bad... let's see what I can do next.

Today I only mapped a small area with service roads and I managed to run my first big PERL program: planetosm-excerpt-area.pl

Don't misunderstand, it's not my program, I didn't create it. But after installation of PERL and a few missing modules it began to crunch planet files.

I plan to use parts of it for my own statistical calculations and maybe own mapsets (i.e. only objects I have contributed). But this is a longer way, not done in a day - at least for me.

Cheers

Good morning.

I am making progress learning PERL. Wrote my first prime checker. It's quite fast compared to earlier versions written in basic, pascal and the like. OK, C(++) was faster. Let's see if I can write something useful for OSM shortly.

Cheers

I finished my work in Walluf/Rhine today and added a hiking trip near Rüdesheim. I further installed PERL on my machine and looked at the first scripts - I need to learn a bit... Nevertheless my first "Hello world" appeared!

With my new folding bike I collected lots of amenities in our commercial area here.

Gary68

Hi,

today I think I will buy a nice folding bike with 7 gears. I got a good offer and will check it the afternoon. Then I will put it in the trunk of my car. And then I can do some serious mapping wherever I go :-)

Yesterday I collected the rest of the streets in Walluf/Rhine. Haven't had the time to enter the data yet...

Cheers

Hi,

today I finished uploading my old tracks from holidays and I visited Walluf near the river Rhine where I mapped most parts of the town.

Cheers

Gary68

I also map a few tracks from former holidays. Not meant for mapping the resolution of the tracks is not too good but better such a way than none mapped. I have tracks from the Zugspitze, from Scotland and from Tenerife.

Good morning!

Today I finished mapping Wiesbaden Medenbach. I also added a few tracks around Hofheim/Taunus. Then I stumbled upon a map feature: man_made=surveillance. Very interesting. Unfortunately only a few cameras are mapped. I encourage everyone to map surveillance cameras so we know how fast their number is rising! I also added an icon for the cameras to my render rules.

Cheers

Hi,

today we hiked around the Schwarzenbachtalsperre in the Black Forest. I added the whole round trip, corrected a track and the Talsperre itself.

And I found some old tracks in g7ToWin format. Anyone knows how to convert them into gpx format?

Cheers

Hi there,

I am still here although I didn't add too much to the map lately. But I have been collecting data to enter when the rain begins to fall - sometime. I have 4 bicycle tours to add. And I experimented a bit with the new routable map here: http://emexes.powweb.com/osm/download.html

It works but not quite satisfying and someday I want to find out why...

Cheers

Gary68

Hi!

Today I visited Delkenheim and Wicker and collected the names for the already existing roads in OSM. I also found some missing footways and a new road. At the weekend I cycled areound Hofheim and added some tracks near the A66. I also changed a crossing in Marxheim into a mini roundabout.

In the near future I plan to map a little around the Rhine. And of course in my vincinity.

I also ordered some posters 60x90cm. The first was a try! But the second order will be a good one. I had to experiment with the print resolution and the render rules for KOSMOS.

Let's go on!

Gary68

Hi there,

let's bring the world up to date with my activities. After the weekend I didn't have too much time for mapping. Nevertheless I did some things: First I extended the coverage of tracks around the A66 near Weilbach/Hattersheim. Then I worked on my render rules for KOSMOS and came up with a first version that I published in the category:KOSMOS. And most important, I pimped my notebook. 512MB RAM is definately not enough. Unfortunately it was only possible to add another 512MB. I would have liked a total of 2GB... And because HDs are not too expensive anymore I also replaced the 60GB with a 250GB disk. So now I can do some work. The RAM significantly improves the runtime of KOSMOS operation. What earlier took 15min now takes less than 5min. No more swapping/trashing.

Bye

Hi there,

went for a walk in the Taunus today and mapped an area around the Schlaeferskopf/Fasanerie near Wiesbaden. I also entered the streetnames of Wicker (partly) and brought to birth Wildsachsen. I further refine my render rules for Kosmos 2 which is a wonderful tool.

Gary68

Hi everybody!

This morning I wanted to create a real cool and above all BIG map. I downloaded Kosmos 2 and the Hessen.osm file (134MB). After a few minutes my 1.7GHz NB with 512MB RAM gave me the map. I used my own modified RenderRules to lay bicycle ways above everything else - otherwise the are sometimes hidden by streets or mortorways. I also wanted different visualization of tracktypes. So 1 is a straight line, 2 and 3 are dashed and 4 and 5 are dotted, like footways. Then I selected the desired area and told Kosmos to give me a 10.000 x 6.000 PNG. It worked very well - took a few minutes again though. Then I uploaded the file to posterjack.de. Now I am waiting for the result.
But: I also did some mapping today. I went to Wildsachsen which belongs to Hofheim and mapped all streets and a few footways there. Will enter the data later.

Cheers,

Gary68

Today I added a few kilometers of tracks and cycleways around the A66 near Hofheim. I also collected the names of the streets in Hochheim Massenheim and entered them.

Cheers, Gary68

Hi everybody,

after I heard of OSM I instantly became an addict. Before I was geocaching (one of the first in Germany). I added the first 100 nodes and ways and everything runs ok. The tiles aren't updated often enough for a beginner to see his results but I installed KOSMOS and plan to have my own render rules which I might publish. I own a Garmin etrex legend HCx and promise to use it for the right thing :-)

Mostly I use josm with added photos but occasionally I change to the web front end because of the satellite images.

I started with some tracks in the fields, mapped a village and a park. Let's see what is the most fun. For me it's best that I can do it where I want and when I want.

I also peeked into tile rendering but I suppose my compute power will not be sufficient to make a difference ;-)

Mark your waypoints!
