Thank you for your analysis !

I see that you suggest, with the fast-food example, to use the brand name as the name=*. Wouldn’t the name used in the chain’s website, bills, internal and communication be better suited ?

I’m of the opinion (and the Osmose QA project) that names should be in most part unique. Outside OSM, that’s precisely the goal of most names : to differentiate things/persons.

To be throrough, it would be best to map each variant. But if it takes too long for the time you have available, you can start with the longest (A-F) segment, that will help anyway.

Maybe just don’t specify interval on the longest (A-F) segment, as it does not run every 60 minutes.

You can link to the timetable with the website=* tag.

Thank you for this tool and presentation. I hope you had a good time too :)

Nice script and workaround, thanks for sharing !

since every item contains links to pictures

Some RSS readers have a “low-bandwidth” mode where the images are not loaded, like TinyTinyRss. Maybe that would fit your needs ?

Thank you for this thorough analysis ! I hope to see the day where OSM contributors will be directly credited through Mapbox widgets on huge social websites ! But with the substential rules of the “10000 square meters”, I think the status-quo will remain sadly.

Nice study, thank you for sharing your results even before the SotM !

Hi, I added a page in the wiki to help other mapper discover this data source. Feel free to add or edit information on there if necessary.

Have a good day !

Hello, that’s wonderful, thank you ! I would suggest putting this authorization in the wiki, it’s best suited for such things. I can do that myself if you are not familiar with the wiki.

However I’m still unsure as to what is in those map tiles, their company is about (their website seems down), and I couldn’t use the imagery mentionned in your changesets; the key seems revoked.

Maybe you could also add an example screenshot of the map tiles and the process to obtain access to them for other mappers ?

Hi, lalolan response was to help you, Kira, and the community. Kira doesn’t want to share its data with commercial users and that’s their right. OSM allows commercial users. Integrating data against the producer’s (Kira) would be harmful to everyone.

We understand that you are willing to help OSM with that data, but sadly this way seems not possible at this moment.

Maybe you could explain that as a lot of opensource projects, OSM do allow commercial use, and ask them to allow it too ?

I don’t understand your comment. How would you indicate that you made a change based on a on-the-ground survey, if not with a source=survey on the changeset ?

Hi, thank you for those detailed changeset comments !

If I may, I would suggest to add the source of your modifications on the changesets. It helps when a future mapper use another source and want to know whether their one is more up to date or precise. That way they don’t overwrite recent data with an older source.

Hi,

In France (for example), a lot of street names, adresses and buildings have been imported successfully. What’s blocking the import is most often an incompatible license between cities’ data and OSM.

OSM do cooperate with “government entities”, see Tiger, French cadastre, and a whole lot I can’t think of.

Anyway, thank you for joining us and contributing !

Bonjour et bienvenue !

Nice tool, thank you !

I don’t see the problem then. If you believe that only ways difficulties should be used in your tool so be it. That way both the risk-averse people would be satisfied.

People that want more “aggregate” difficulty ratings can look at the relation. Both are useful imo.

Also, if a mapper only know the “average/aggregate” difficulty of the route, wouldn’t it be better that they add it to the relation instead of every members ? If they added it on every way, that would infer incorrect precision, likely preventing future mappers to define each way’s difficulty. And that would put people like you described at risk.

Routes in general ways have an “average difficulty” and a maximum difficulty. An intermediate skier (same for any sport really) may accept a short section of higher difficulty on a longer way, easier way.

I see the relation difficulty as the average for the route, and its maximum can be derived by its ways. Isn’t it possible to use ways difficulties with a fallback on the relation difficulty ?

It could be limited before upload, but the modifications could also be filtered by bounding box in the review tool.

Happy to hear that !

Hi,

I think you are talking about the ‘iD’ editor.

I found two ways to stop drawing lines :

*Pressing escape on the keyboard * Double-clicking on the screen or mouse

I would also suggest trying Vespucci (android) or Go Map! (iOS), which are both designed for smartphone editing first.

I hope that helps you :)
