Here is a wms service, if anyone can figure it out!?

Here is a nice map from the us federal government, and thank god they are public domain.

God bless America!

http://www.hamradio.hr/9a6aa/Antarctica/A%20activnosti.htm here is the first list that I used for searching for names and places.

The coordinates are approximates, none are not exact copies, but I started with the wikipedia coordinates and from other lists that I twittered about.

I saw the first one when we were down there
it looked just like this :

All of those kosovo photos I took with no gps. I covered every intersection without break. I hope to reconstruct the map from them.
I think that we need tools to to mapping without gps.
my motto: you dont need a gps, you need a brain.

Thanks John,
But if I knew the lat long the I would not have to upload them for review.
I would like to work my way through these pictures and place them on the map.
I guess when I have the positions I can upload them to openstreetview.
thanks,
mike

Well It is obviously impossible to do this.
Monopoly wrote the game, so it is thier fail.

Thanks,
I uploaded a pict there. We will see what happens.

My original goal is an old idea I had to make openarena/quake games with my home town street.

We could make a movie with the changes as they happen.
We could replace josm with blender and python.
We could add in a later for inkscape.
we could render photorealistic maps.

I have moved the code http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ekosova/%2Bjunk/openstreetmapkosova/annotate/head%3A/kmz_ImportWithMesh.py?sort=date
into bazzar to get rid of the frankophone names so I can start to understand it.

Hopefullly when I have reversed engineered this code we can start integrating the python plugins into blender.

with blender you can create movies etc.

#openstreetmap #webkit yahoo sat here is the debian package http://ping.fm/Cul96 the line "deb http://ping.fm/OVXoN gjergi-osm main" you add to your /etc/apt/source.list apt-get install webkitimageqt should work.

The pirates are in theory supporters of FLOSS and open knowledge,
so they should also in theory support OSM.
I went to the pirate party meeting to talk to them and some showed interest.
so that is the idea. To get the pirates to use OSM.
all else are invited of course.

I mean ran this.

Removes this :
bash KosovoSplitterGet.sh | tee log.txt 2>&1

The code above should be seen here :

I have done a bunch of merging.
I cannot edit my comments...

I am removing the code and putting it into bzr.
thanks for your patience.

Most of the code in OSM has been written before.
I see that there is a big problem in finding, testing and documenting it.
I will review your code.
thanks,
mike

it turns out that the coords are shifted over my 0.5 much. I need to look into this more.
