Is this for real? White spots on the GPS coverage

I would certainly claim that GPS is more important than 4G internet connection.

One might refer to simple logical reason that I shouldn't need to care if there is dead spots of GPS coverage in the US, because I do not live there and are quite unlikely to go there at all. But many of the decisions that happen at the other side of the Atlantic has an tendency to fan out and affect the rest of the world (Both for good and worse).

The dependency of GPS are enormous, I does not even know where to begin. I can also see areas in where GPS could be used for the better good. Say that you have one of theese modern Smartphones - it would be quite useful if there was some way of transmitting your GPS co-ordinates to the one at the other end, like when you have broken a bone in the forest and are loosing quite a bit of blood - you could send your co-ords so that a rescue team could pick you up with a copter. it could possible be set to do that automatically when you call 911/112/08/other emergency code.

Well, I guess that I can't do too much about it. Just hoping that I won't need to buy an EPS (European Position System) device soon or anything like that.

My two cents are that it is more fun running around it the forest Mapping/Geo Caching/Et.c. than it is to sit in front of a computer, eating pizza/burger dricing diet coke and growing flubber..

Okay, now I'm confused

K thx, hope that it is fixed now =)

I would like a copy, I could also host a tarball or zip for you - if you wish.

bridges

Hmm, that sounds odd.
Tagging the part of the road in question with just bridge=yes should be just fine. Can you post a permalink (either here or by PM)?

Hilfe

If you don't need to use a proxy, simply just ignore this message.
Else try to reconfigure your proxy settings either from JOSM itself, or from the global java settings.

The batch-file looks just OK, but "cd \" is a bit odd, I assume that you can safely remove that line.

Lamp posts (tagging question)

Look at osm.wiki/Key:lit
And I think that I should get Street Light data around here too ;)
