Hallo Mit dem Teilen-Knopf kann auf sehr einfache Art ein Kartenausschnitt der OSM-Karte festgelegt, in einem gewünschten Dateiformat heruntergeladen und anschliessend ausgedruckt werden. Wie bekomme ich aber nun den Copyright-Vermerk auf diesen Kartenausschnitt? Gruss Gerhard

routing.osm.ch doesn't understand cycleway:right/left
by Michel Schinz 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi again, Following the tagging recommendation of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway, I've tagged a few one-way streets in Lausanne with contraflow cycle lanes using the tag cycleway:right=opposite_lane. Unfortunately, it seems that routing.osm.chdoesn't understand this, as illustrated by the following route suggestion: http://osm.li/ZE Indeed, instead of doing a V, it is possible to go straight on the Chemin Antoine-de-Chandieu by bike, as there is a contraflow cycle lane, which I've tagged as such. What is the proposed solution? Should I change my tagging to the (apparently more frequent) cycleway=opposite_lane? Should routing.osm.ch be changed to understand cycleway:right (and :left)? Thanks, Michel.

Zürich: OGD-Daten Abfall
by ml＠marcschneider.org 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Hallo zusammen Ich bin ja sonst nur stiller Mitleser und mappe auch nicht mehr so häufig. Aber ich «stolperte» über einen tweet[1] von @opendatazurich: Es wurden gerade die Standorte aller rund 3900 Abfallkübel und Robidogeimern der Stadt Zürich auf dem OGD-Portal[2] veröffentlicht. Und das Baumkataster, Mobilitystandorte, Parkhäuser, Behindertenparkplätze etc. wurden ja auch schon zur Nutzung online gestellt. Meine Frage: werden diese Daten aktuell schon genutzt und in Form von Importen u.ä. in OSM übertragen? Das eine oder andere wäre ja sicherlich für OSM interessant. Auch wenn Zürich schon recht gut gemappt ist. Gruss Marc. [1] https://twitter.com/OpenDataZurich/status/405631180323565568 [2] http://data.stadt-zuerich.ch/content/portal/de/index/ogd/daten.html

Find tags of deleted area
by Marc Mongenet 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello, By mistake, I deleted an area. It is part of a big commit. The area was a landing place for paragliding, with many tags. I can remap the area, but I don't remember the tags. The area was here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/46.17240/6.20801 Where can I find the deleted tags? Marc Mongenet

Complex crossings and routing.osm.ch
by Michael Kleidt 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Hi I found some wired routing on detailed mapped crossings like http://osm.li/2E Instead of simply using way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/58591662 and way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/44850965 it looks like the routing tries to avoid the traffic light http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/255758805 One solution would be to add turn restrictions. There are about 10 "crossings" where you can't turn left or right. We would need at least 2 restrictions on each of these points. An other solution is to ignore traffic lights in routing or add a penalty for each turn, because you normally have to slow down. Or is there a "better" way for mapping big crossings to avoid such indirections? I don't want to map for the router, but in this case there are turns possible in the OSM data which are not allowed in reality. Micha

Display bug on routing.osm.ch
by Michel Schinz 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Hi! I often use and love routing.osm.ch, thanks a lot for it! In its French version (and apparently also German, Italian and, partly, English), it unfortunately has a layout bug which makes two important parts of its user interface invisible: the estimation of the trip time, and the link to generate a permalink. I've put a picture there to illustrate the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2333813/routing-osm-bug.jpg I've circled the two problematic areas in red. It would be really nice if this could be fixed. Thanks, Michel.

Call for book chapter proposals submission on "OpenStreetMap in GIScience: experiences, research, applications"
by Stefan Keller 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

FYI... -------- Originalnachricht -------- Betreff: Call for book chapter proposals submission on "OpenStreetMap in GIScience: experiences, research, applications" Datum: 2013-11-17 10:21 Absender: jokar.arsanjani(a)geog.uni-heidelberg.de Empfänger: katja.haferkorn(a)fossgis.de Dear Katja, Could you please share our call for book chapters submission through the FOSSGIS emailing list. Below this note the call is copied as well as a PDF is attached to this email. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards from Heidelberg, Jamal Apologies for cross posting ------------------------------ Call for Chapter Proposal Submission OpenStreetMap in GIScience: experiences, research, applications Edited by Jamal Jokar Arsanjani GIScience, Institute of Geography, University of Heidelberg, Germany Alexander Zipf GIScience, Institute of Geography, University of Heidelberg, Germany Peter Mooney Department of Computer Science, NUI Maynooth, Ireland Marco Helbich, Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Utrecht University, the Netherlands Introduction The radical societal and Information Technology changes brought about by the Internet and social media and the availability of inexpensive portable satellite navigation devices has seen the traditional geodata business model challenged and being changed radically. One of the key driving forces in this change has been Volunteered Geographic Information of which OpenStreetMap is one of the most famous projects. OpenStreetMap was developed with the motto of ?creating a free editable map of the world? in a collaborative manner so that people and end-users are not forced to buy geodata in the traditional way and subsequently be subject to restrictive copyright commitments. OpenStreetMap started with a focus on mapping streets and roads. Since then it has moved far beyond these entities and it now contains a very rich variety of geographical objects all over the planet being mapped by hundreds and thousands of volunteer contributors to the project. The gradual evolution of the OpenStreetMap eco-system has been very successfully. The project had a slow start but since 2007 there has been an ever increasing rate of people joining the project with just over 1.42 million registered users in November 2013. The academic and industrial communities have recognized OpenStreetMap not solely based on its rise to prominence in becoming an important distributor of geodata but its wider success in growing a global community of people who support the OpenStreetMap project. The OpenStreetMap community is actively involved in much more than collecting geodata to build and maintain its global database. The community is involved in: humanitarian work in many regions; open source software development to support OpenStreetMap and the GIS community; and in building a network of support for those using and contributing to the OpenStreetMap project. In recent years several scientific disciplines (e.g., geography, GIScience, spatial planning, cartography, computer science, social science, and ecology) have realized the immense potential of OpenStreetMap and it has become the subject of academic research. The OpenStreetMap offered researchers a unique dataset which is global in scale and a body of knowledge created and maintained by a very large collaborative network of volunteers. Research on OpenStreetMap has shown that it's geodata in some parts of the world are more complete and locationally and semantically more accurate than the corresponding proprietary datasets. Objectives and Scope The main objective of the intended edited volume is to seek experiences using OpenStreetMap including cutting edge scientific investigations on OpenStreetMap from different geodata and users perspectives as well as developed and under development applications benefiting from OpenStreetMap and the advancement and promotion of OpenStreetMap in GIScience. Due to the complexity, inter- and trans-disciplinary nature of collaborative mapping projects such as OpenStreetMap, submissions of chapter proposals from an extensive range of scientific disciplines such as geography, cartography, computer science, statistics, geographic information science, sociology, urban planning, environment planning, transportation, and civil engineering are highly welcome. The edited book is scheduled to be published by Springer in its leading series in GIScience ?Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography? series, edited by William Cartwright, George Gartner, Liqiu Meng, and Michael P. Peterson. For more detailed information about this series, we refer to the Springer webpage, accessible via the following link http://www.springer.com/series/7418. The book seeks to build a firm foundation for research work focused on integrating OpenStreetMap. Chapters should address the following research topics, however not limited to: a) State-of-the-art and cutting-edge approaches for data quality analysis and data fusion techniques in OpenStreetMap and other Volunteered Geographic Information sources, b) Investigations on understanding OpenStreetMap contributors and the nature of their contributions, c) Identification of patterns of contributions and contributors in OpenStreetMap, d) Desktop, online, and mobile applications of OpenStreetMap in different domains (e.g. 3D, routing, traffic, disaster management, health, crime, history, ecology, etc.), e) Mining value-added knowledge and information from OpenStreetMap, f) Limitations and possibilities in the analysis of OpenStreetMap data, g) Integration of OpenStreetMap with commercial and non-commercial geodatasets, h) Emergence and evolution of OpenStreetMap across the world, i) OpenStreetMap?s contribution to GIScience. Submission and Important Dates All chapter proposals will be evaluated by a committee of experts before author(s) are being invited to submit their full book chapters. Chapters must not have been published elsewhere. Unpublished conference presentations and extended conference works are acceptable.
