Het criterium dat ik gebruik is:

2 of meer vakken -> minstens tertiary 1 vak -> unclassified of residential

Welcome to OSM. I hope you enjoy yourself.

Because you are free in OSM?

You are free to put on the map whatever you want, no restrictions at all. You are free to use the data in any way you want. And you know that nobody is your “boss” on OSM.

Next to that, you know you have “created” something.

I also love contributing to it.

Hmmm, kan je eens zeggen wat er verkeerd gelopen is?

Het lijkt er op dat er slechts 3 wegen verwijderd zijn. In dat geval is het minder werk om die wegen opnieuw te tekenen.

Of zijn er nog andere fundamentele dingen ook gewijzigd?

I zal er eens naar kijken

Ik zal er eens naar kijken.

You don’t only need to look at the cost/GB, you also need to look at the durability.

SSD can only accept a limited number of writes. So it’s good to put your OS on, because you don’t re-write your OS constantly. But the database of OSM is constantly edited, and if you want to keep the visible data on that disk, you need to take all those writes into account.

I think (from the top of my head), for a database, some sort of RAID, together with a compressed file system is best. The RAID is pure speed gain over normal configuration (but RAID is already used). And the compression will take load off IO (because the compressed data is smaller), while the CPU won’t have difficulties handling compression to save, or decompression to get the data (that CPU is cheaper anyway).

I’ve used is_in tags on places where I don’t know the boundary, so I could (hopefully) determine the boundary after enough is_in tags.

And no, there are no copyright-free maps which contain boundaries of Belgium.

Great job, but I wouldn’t call it 100%

When I started with my village, also a lot of minor roads were missing. But now I have this: osm.org/?lat=50.9389&lon=3.0652&zoom=17&layers=M

I know this can’t be done in 2 months time (I’ve been working for over 2 years on it), but there is always more work to do in OSM.

If you want to see big areas (more than one little village of me) with great quality data, you probably need to look at Germany. osm.org/?lat=50.937821&lon=6.944208&zoom=18&layers=M

Nice, welcome to OSM.

If you also want to add other elements (like the address, phone number, service ways leading to the building, …), you are very welcome (and if you have questions, just ask).

To speed up your GPS lock time, the app “gpsfix” works quite good. It uses the WiFi networks and cell towers around to get an approximate location, which speeds up the time you need to get a fix.

You just have to launch the app, and it will do the work in the background. So you don’t have to wait until the fix to launch the app you really want.

And for the map viewing part, I mostly use OsmAnd now. It has an offline map viewer, search engine and router. And the possibility to add POI (although the choice of POI you can add is limited, and you can’t add other objects such as ways).

osm.wiki/IOS

You can see a bunch of iOS apps on the link above (together with their features, such as offline data, map viewing, routing …)

I can’t recommend one, since I don’t own an iOS device.

If you have technical questions, about how to render a map etc, I could help you (I think) and in any case, I know people who can certainly help you. But I can’t help with getting these things organised.

If you want, you can send me a PM.

Et une autre point, je vois que le way que vous avez créé est seulement connectez avec une autre way. Vous pouvez le voir avec le link que j’ai donné. A une point, OSM dit que c’est connectez avec une autre way, mais il n’y-as pas d’autre point connecté avec une way.

Ça veut dire que a l’autre coté, la “node” (point) peut être tres proche, mais pas sur la route. Si deux routes sont connectés, vous verrez que le node de connexion est marquée avec une symbole différente (le quarré est plus grande).

Pour connecter les deux routes, sélectez la dernière node, et avec plus de précision, connecter le avec l’autre route.

J’espère que ça vous aide avec comprendre OSM.

Je suis en train d’inspecter votre premier “change set” (je sais pas le mot français), et je découvre que vous avez créé une “way”: osm.org/browse/way/160122696

Dans OSM, une “way”, c’est juste une connexion des points. Donc ce n’est pas une rue ou boulevard ou comparable. Ça peut aussi être un bâtiment, ou un bois.

Pour dire que c’est une rue, vous devez ajouter des “tags”. En Potlatch, c’est fait par sélecter votre “way”, et dans la liste a gauche chercher le type de rue, et après ça, ajoutez des détails comme le nom, la limite de vitesse, le surface …

The database is writable, but the diffs will only be in their final spot after the licence change (which is taking quite long TBH)

for now, there are diffs available via the temporary location mentionned above.

Bienvenue de Belgique, si vous avez des problèmes, n’hésitez pas à demander de l’aide.

(et je sais que mon français n’est pas très bon, mais je m’entraîne)

I’ve also used OsmAnd lately, and although the performance of routing has gone up, I feel like the quality of the given route went down. Osmand used to give better routes (at least that’s how I remember it).

Now, the advantage of the better performance is that when you decide not to follow the route, it’s re-calculated quite quickly.

Btw, if you really want the latest and greatest changes, you can always compile maps yourself. It’s explained at the Osmand site, and not really more difficult than installing maps for Garmin GPS ;)

When something is build as a house, but used as a restaurant, the building is a house, and the usage is restaurant. Translated to OSM:

building=house amenity=restaurant

At least, that’s what I think.

For a GPS, you might consider using a smart-phone. As with a smart-phone, you have extra apps to help the mapping (so you can take notes with a location attached), and it’s no problem to take geo-referenced photos.

Smart-phones also have navigation apps (that make usage of OSM data). I use OsmAnd f.e.
