94305, and broken seas

Posted by lwu on 21 August 2008 in English.

Campus (94305) is looking quite a bit shape-lier after the changes I made last week (which finally rendered in Mapnik):

osm.org/?lat=37.42817&lon=-122.17105&zoom=15&layers=B00FTF

The Cayman islands look good again, at least in OSMArender (perhaps they'll be fixed in Mapnik by next week):
osm.org/?lat=19.266&lon=-81.231&zoom=11&layers=0B0FTF

Alas, I noticed a few more visual bugs:

Especially in New Orleans...
osm.org/?lat=29.601&lon=-89.931&zoom=9&layers=B00FTF

Might have time in the future to look at it, but for the moment have been filing Mapnik tickets, hacking, and making lots of changes to the Mapnik wiki! http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki

Cayman Islands still broken (one week later)

Posted by lwu on 19 August 2008 in English.

The Cayman Islands are still broken, one week later.

Here's the current Mapnik render (look ma, no visible coastlines):
osm.org/?lat=19.258&lon=-81.264&zoom=11&layers=B00FTF

and the Osmarender (look ma, incorrect way directions):
osm.org/?lat=19.308&lon=-81.2&zoom=11&layers=0B0FTF

Osmarender looked fine last week (I think), but Mapnik render was still the same.

shadowjack merged the lines last week, apparently.

campus

Posted by lwu on 14 August 2008 in English.

More work on the body of Stanford campus.

Wish I had an iPhone app to help store pictures alongside with GPS traces.

(Dunno if that'd be useful for getting buildings right given the (lack of) accuracy on the device.)

That said, it'd be a great way to gather data more conveniently on a larger scale, to have a GPS trace where points (segments?) can be tagged with pictures, sounds, actual tags, or text!

Also getting up to speed on the OSM XML format. Seems challenging to deal with -- is it a bear to get imported into PostGIS? Might try to extract just enough data using XQilla...
