Detours

Posted by Skippern on 28 October 2009 in English.

Yes, I managed some detours today. Gathered a few more tracks that will be entered soon. A few more roads in Guarapari, though that is getting increasingly difficult, Novo Guarapari, and Meaipe. The funds have been low the last few weeks, so there have been little chance to explore, and my wife's computer have been with problems,the result, she occupy my computer. The result of all this, little editing. A very little editing.

Hopefully the problem of my wife's computer should be fixed over the weekend. At the same time I hope that the computer I have made disponible for my maid(nanny/servant/cleaner) and the server for the alarm/surveillance should be operational as well.

I am thinking of making some sort of service on the server to generate updated maps of Espirito Santo for use on various GPS units, and maybe a TMS/WMS service for map data to import. I have some PD maps in PDF and .dwg formats, and havn't found any workable sofware for Mac or Linux, so I have to dive into think tank for solving the import.

If I get this import going, Vitória and Guarapari will quickly be completed. After that I will head for Divino São Lorenço, and the municipals in between. In time the whole of Espirito Santo will be imported this way, one municipal at a time. I have at least one more on the team for this import, maybe more will join when we have the ball rolling.

Concerning your PD map problem:
Heard of http://warper.geothings.net/ there you can georeference your jpg or png files (convert your pdf's and dwg's) . The can then be used as an overlay for your josm session.
Happy mapping, Christian

Checking out warper, have converted a few PDFs to tiff and rectified them. I will look into recifying more and use them as WMS background in JOSM to correct some roads and to add a few other. Missing only a few houndred meters in Centro, I will also get some more from a few other suburbs where I probably will not get to survey in the near future
