  Jurassien&lt;/a&gt; partage le tracé des pistes de ski de fond depuis l'espace pro de
  sa carte interactive (carte dispo &lt;a href=&quot;http://plan.espacenordiquejurassien.com/&quot;&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt; ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Ces tracés sont d'origines diverses, et il ne fait pas sens de les copier
  dans &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt;. Cependant,
  cela permet une comparaison, et on peut voir ainsi que près de la moitié des
  pistes de ski de fond du Jura français ne sont pas mappés dans OSM ! Sans
  surprise, les coins les plus courus et les plus enneigés sont mieux
  cartographiés que les autres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;J'en ai fait une carte qui permet de savoir ou poser vos skis cet hiver pour
  compléter, c'est ici: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensnowmap.org/qa/enj_vs_osm/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap.org et Espace

  &lt;li&gt;La Combe Saint Pierre&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Le Lac des Rouges Truites&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Les Combes Dernier&lt;/li&gt;

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;I made some modification in the ski piste presets for the iD editor. This is
  mainly intended to differentiate the meaning of &lt;strong&gt;piste:grooming&lt;/strong&gt;
  and &lt;strong&gt;piste:difficulty&lt;/strong&gt; tags depending on the type of piste
  (downhill, nordic, hike, etc ...).&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Descriptions are according to the wiki, which is rather stable for
  years.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Maybe some want to give it a try here to see if everything looks fine:

      <title>Comparison of Skimap.org and OpenStreetMap data</title>
      <link href="http://blog.opensnowmap.org/post/2018/09/21/Comparison-of-Skimap.org-and-OpenStreetMap-data" rel="alternate" type="text/html"
      title="Comparison of Skimap.org and OpenStreetMap data" />
      <id>urn:md5:090c091fccd8fabef4b17783601eb194</id>
      <updated>2018-09-21T16:44:00+02:00</updated>
      <author><name>Yves</name></author>
              
      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;I have ask myself for some time now how I could have an estimation of the
  completeness of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt; when
  it comes to ski pistes. I’m certain that with our more than 100’000 km of
  pistes, downhill and cross-country combined, we are the biggest global ski
  pistes database of this type, but what exactly remains to map? I needed
  something to compare to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is this great site called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt; where contributors can upload scans and
  photos of ski maps from their favorite ski area. They have more than 3000 ski
  area listed. These ski areas location are crowd-sourced by their contributors,
  and skimap.org offers an open API. So I can certainly find a way to compare
  this with OpenStreetMap data, no ? Yes, so I did. And many thanks to
  Russel for making &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt; !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The comparison goes both ways, first there is a long list called
  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensnowmap.org/qa/OSM_vs_skimap_missing_at_OSM/&quot;&gt;Pistes missing
  from OpenStreetMap.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Then we have a map showing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensnowmap.org/qa/OSM_vs_skimap_missing_at_skimap/&quot;&gt;Ski areas
  missing in Skimaps.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It’s not perfect, because there are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; ways on one side that are not really
  (or rarely) grouped as ‘ski resorts’ and single points on the other side. So of
  course in some case the distance threshold chosen (5km) is maybe not the best,
  and in some case &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt; ski area
  localization could be improved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;OpenStreetMap ‘ski areas’&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;No, they are not built-in in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; database. There is the tag
  ‘landuse=wintersports’ to tag ski resorts, but it is seldom used. The rejected
  relation proposal ‘site=piste’ attracts even less contributions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So for this comparison they are build in a database like
  this :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/osm_skimap.png&quot; alt=&quot;osm_skimap.png&quot; style=&quot;display:block; margin:0 auto;&quot; title=&quot;osm_skimap.png, sept. 2018&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The pistes from OSM are buffered by 500m, then glued in big polygons. Very
  big polygons (&amp;gt;30km) are split in equal size rectangular chunks ranging from
  20km to 40km. This is a bit arbitrary but allows to more or less efficiently
  separate interconnected ski areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;In the end, this gives &amp;gt;3500 downhill ski areas, and the same number of
  nordic skiing areas.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;What have I found ?&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;First a really good news : both projects contributors can still have a
  lot of fun contributing for a while. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimaps.org&lt;/a&gt; excels in the USA, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt;.org is better in
  Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;At first glance around 800 ski areas can be found in Skimap.org but not in
  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt;. For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt;, a lot of small and micro downhill
  resorts are missing (apparently &amp;gt; 1500). For nordic skiing, it’s really
  worse, but it’s not really the target audience I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Also, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; seems more complete
  when it comes to lifts (aerialways) than for ski pistes themselves. I would
  risk an explanation here. There is a lot of gondolas enthusiasts
  (https://www.remontees-mecaniques.net/, http://www.funivie.org/web/,
  Lift-World.info https://lift-world.info/, ...), and I suspect people are
  mapping lifts systematically. Armchair mapping is also possible for aerialways
  on the contrary to ski pistes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;How does it helps ?&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Both project’s data have open license, but not compatible (CC-BY-SA vs
  OdBL). So each can be used for the other as an inspiration, but not as a direct
  data source. Needless to say ski maps uploaded at Skimap.org are for the vast
  majority copyrighted and not be used for mapping at OSM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt; contributors, they can
  use the map produced to spot a ski area in OSM, investigate on the web and find
  documentation of interest for the project. For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; contributors, well, as usual :
  find a place with ski pistes to map, take a train ticket, your gear, GPS and
  go !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;More&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skimap.org&quot;&gt;Skimap.org&lt;/a&gt; also have some more
  information about its ski areas, for example if they are closed. This could be
  used to spot places in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; where
  some map curating is needed. Also, I spotted on the maps some isolated pistes
  in OSM that looks strange. In short, some idea for ski-related QA in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;It's been a few years since the last statistics about ski pistes mapping in
  Openstreetmap.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;You know it: Openstreetmap has the biggest worldwide skimap available. And
  still growing !&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;From today stats:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Crossountry trails: 67961 km&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Alpine runs : 37287 km&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Lifts: 17647 km&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Sled runs : 1376 km&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;While at a slower pace than in the glory years, the length of the ski runs
  mapped in OSM grow every year with several thousand of kilometers. This means
  that there is still some ski pistes to map, and a good question is how
  many ? I'm trying to have some clue in comparing other available ski
  areas-related listings, such as Russel's excellent &lt;a href=&quot;http://skimaps.org&quot;&gt;Skimaps.org&lt;/a&gt;. I'll keep you informed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <id>urn:md5:4322031b86d30b071a5f3d82d40adf6b</id>
      <updated>2017-05-01T13:55:00+02:00</updated>
      <author><name>Yves</name></author>
          <dc:subject>OpenStreetMap</dc:subject>    
      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;I make no mystery of it: I'm a cross-country skier. I've run alpine skis
  only twice in my life, and definitely prefer the wild and quiet areas where
  you're alone sweating your way in the middle of nowhere. This had had
  consequences on Opensnowmap.org, and I did not spent enough time on downhill
  runs rendering style. It was crowded and definitely not clear enough, but this
  is about to change. Now that the ski season is almost done, I'm rolling out a
  major style change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;Alpine runs&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Downhill ski runs are now cleaner (I hope). Especially transition is
  smoother between pistes mapped as areas and those mapped as ways. At high zoom,
  pistes let a clear view on the contour lines and fade in better on the
  topo-style base map.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/OLD-NEW.PNG&quot; alt=&quot;OLD-NEW.PNG&quot; title=&quot;OLD-NEW.PNG, mai 2017&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;Icons&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The less common pistes type (skitours, snowshoes, sled, and sleigh) are now
  rendered with icons. Curling, ice-stock and hockey icons have been added.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/curling_skitour.png&quot; alt=&quot;curling_skitour.png&quot; title=&quot;curling_skitour.png, mai 2017&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;Pistes overlaps&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Sometimes pistes can be used for several activities, now Opensnowmap is able
  to render piste tagged like &lt;em&gt;piste:type = downhill;sled&lt;/em&gt; or other
  combination.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/sled_overlap.png&quot; alt=&quot;sled_overlap.png&quot; title=&quot;sled_overlap.png, mai 2017&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;I hope this improved map will please you, and you are welcome to make any
  remarks or request improvement &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/yvecai/mapnik-opensnowmap.org/issues&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;External users&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;As long with the new style, the tiles URLs changes. As your website or app
  uses a proper referer, I am able to contact you with the new URL, of course.
  The URL is http(s)://www.opensnowmap.org/pistes/{z}/{x}/{y}.png.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For the offline users, please note that the monthly .mbt tile set from
  28.04.2017 is the last one available with the old style.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.opensnowmap.org&quot;&gt;OpenSnowMap.org&lt;/a&gt; renders ski
  ressorts at zoom 10,11 &amp;amp; 12. For this, it takes either &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:site%3Dpiste&quot;&gt;site=piste&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
  relations or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dwinter_sports&quot;&gt;landuse=winter_sports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
  polygons, and checks what type of pistes they contain (downhill, nordic, sled,
  etc...) in order to display small icons next to the ressort name.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Until now, these icons where pre-calculated images of all possible
  combinations.They were not so nice, and did not scale well with the big tiles
  used on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.opensnowmap.org/mobile.html&quot;&gt;mobile&lt;/a&gt; site.
  So I built a very handy font file, called Ski.ttf, that looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/Skki_TTF.png&quot; alt=&quot;Skki_TTF.png&quot; title=&quot;Skki_TTF.png, fév. 2017&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This allows me to use &lt;a href=&quot;http://mapnik.org/&quot;&gt;Mapnik&lt;/a&gt; list-placement
  on &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/TextSymbolizer&quot;&gt;TextSymbolizers&lt;/a&gt; to
  position the needed icons nicely.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It will takes some time for the tiles to re-render, so here what it looks
  like:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;before / after comparison&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/sites_avant_crop.png&quot; alt=&quot;sites_avant_crop.png&quot; title=&quot;sites_avant_crop.png, fév. 2017&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Snow Map base layer</title>

      <author><name>Yves</name></author>
              
      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;When Mapquest layer disappeared, this was a problem for OpenSnowMap: its
  cold colors and less detailed style were great to overlay ski pistes onto. But
  the end of this freely available map forced me to build a simple style with
  plenty of room for ski pistes: the OpenSnowMap Base Snow Map.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;A winter topo map&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;I used OSM-Bright to start building this style. Using colder colours more
  suited to a winter map, of course I also added relief. In particular, relief
  hillshading led me to desaturate highways to avoid they pops out the shadowed
  side of the hills . Ski pistes are not rendered on this layer, the OpenSnowMap
  remains an overlay. In fact, they *are* rendered on the Base Snow Map with 12
  pixels wide transparent labels that forbids other labels to take place where
  ski pistes from the OpenSnowMap overlay will land.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;I want to see it!&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This style is live on opensnowmap.org. The mobile part of the website is
  shown with 'retina tiles' by default, but you can choose this high-dpi option
  or not from the menu. For these mobile-friendly tiles, I choose to render 384px
  tiles and display them with a 1.5x scale factor. That please my eyes on my own
  phone and the server seems to be OK with them, so please tell me they also
  looks good on your phone or tablet.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Of course, Openstreetmap-carto is still available, although without high-res
  tiles but a simple scaling for the mobile version. Here also let me know what
  the default should be: I find it more usable with the scaling on my device,
  although a bit pixelized.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;That's great, but ...&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the use of the layer outside OpenSnowMap is discouraged by
  referer magic and so on. Also, tiles containing ski pistes are pre-rendered,
  but not the others. So while the Imposm-powered DB is up-to-date and a few
  minutes behind Openstreetmap, don't expect super-performances in tile refresh.
  Yes, 10 minutes so you can check your mapping mistakes and correct them before
  I take them into account, isn't it clever ? This new base map won't change
  much the OpenSnowMap overlay tiles that will remains pretty much the same and
  updated daily.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;Opensnowmap offers overlay tile layers for ski pistes and winter sports. Two
  sets of tiles are available: one with only the pistes, and another one with
  relief background (shaded relief and contours lines).&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It seems that the layer with relief information is of great interest, even
  in summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Sadly, opensnowmap server won't be able to cope well with the demand on next
  winter, so in order to keep the server healthy for skiers, the tile usage
  condition from outside Opensnowmap will change as follow :&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;From the 1st of october 2016, a valid referer will be mandatory to fetch
  tiles from www.opensnowmap.org.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;From the 1st of november 2016, access to tiles with relief from outside
  opensnowmap.org is not granted anymore and can stop at any time (likely around
  the 1st).&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;When you enter www.opensnowmap.org, there is a small counter that shows you
  the length of ski pistes and lifts there is in OSM each days. On june 6th, the
  total length of alpine and crosscountry ski pistes, skitour, snowshoeing, lifts
  and sleds pistes crossed the 100'000km line.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Not bad, isn't it ? This number seems important, so I searched and
  found a few flaws in my count, you can find the queries &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/yvecai/data-opensnowmap.org/blob/master/tools/pistes-stat2json.sh&quot;&gt;
  here&lt;/a&gt;. I notably found a few thousand of km of crosscountry pistes mapped as
  relations, without pistes tags on ways that were missing on previous
  calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Anyway, now, we can claim that on 2016-06-06T00:03:02Z, there was
  &lt;strong&gt;108'084 km&lt;/strong&gt; of winter sports pistes in Openstreetmap ! Two
  and a half tour of the planet !&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Before OSM, does anybody figured out that there is so many pistes dedicated
  to winter sports on the globe ? And how much is still to be mapped in
  OSM ? Why does some people &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensnowmap.org/?zoom=14&amp;amp;lat=46.30925&amp;amp;lon=7.09918&amp;amp;layers=mapquest&amp;amp;marker=false&quot;&gt;
  map alpine ski pistes as area without a median line&lt;/a&gt; that would allow
  routing?&lt;/p&gt;</content>

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;Elevation profiles and ski resorts statistics are now available for the

  &lt;p&gt;I wanted to avoid displaying vector data on the map, this can cause
  performance issue on mobile devices. The elevation profile is now calculated
  with Matplotlib, along with a image view of the piste to help vizualize the
  information on a small screen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Pistes statistics are calculated from OSM data, on resorts enclosed by a
  &lt;strong&gt;landuse=winter_sports&lt;/strong&gt; polygon or in a relation of
  &lt;strong&gt;type=site, site=piste&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;A new version? Wait ... nothing has changed !&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Well hopefully it's the case. Opensnowmap.org website has been rewrote with
  a cleaner code separating HTML, CSS and Javascript. Also, a few good practises
  in website design have been implemented. For instance there is no blocking
  calls to the server any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is some changes for the user, though:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Language change can be done on the fly, no need to reload the page.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Mobile version has been redesigned a little, allowing you to keep the map
  in view while looking for pistes with the 'Search' input.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;A 'Donate' button landed on the menu, it's not only here to look nice.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;As the code is now cleaner, don't hesitate to propose some changes yourself
  on the website, it's here on &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/yvecai/opensnowmap.org/&quot;&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt; . Be kind enough to
  report bugs, I made some tests on a few browsers, but there may things I
  missed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;The relief (hillshading) layer on OpenSnowMap.org have been updated. On the
  major part of the world, resolution jumps to 30m instead of 90m beforehand,
  thanks to the ongoing release of 1 arc-second SRTM data by NASA.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/30m_-_90m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/.30m_-_90m_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;30m_-_90m.png&quot; style=&quot;display:block; margin:0 auto;&quot; title=&quot;30m_-_90m.png, juil. 2015&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  To mak a long story short, the relief is more precise by a x1.5 zoom
  factor.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For more details, here are the data used on the serveur to generate the
  hillshading.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/DEM3_coverage.png&quot; alt=&quot;DEM3_coverage.png&quot; style=&quot;display:block; margin:0 auto;&quot; title=&quot;DEM3_coverage.png, juil. 2015&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;em&gt;Screenshot from USGS explorer on Google-map background&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;30m SRTM data are used where available. Up north, data comes from the EU-DEM
  for scandinavia, ASTER for Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia. In an area
  extending from Greece to Iran, I had to kept the 90m SRTM data from CGIAR, I
  hoipe to be able to update this area soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;To assemble those datasets, I use a script based on python-gdal to merge the
  data by small 1x1° tiles, filtering SRTM data by a 3x3 average filter and ASTER
  by a 10x10 filter to reduce noise. Gdal utilities then re-assemble everything
  in a big Tiff. For rendering, I took the opportunity to pré-calculate smaller
  Tiff at lower zooms to reduce the load on the tile server. The map should show
  up more fluidly.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Contour lines will be updated from the same datasets, if I can optimize them
  enough to fit my disks.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;La couche d'ombrage (hillshade) d'OpenSnowMap.org vient de subir un sérieux
  lifting. En effet, sur la plus grande partie du monde, la résolution passe à
  30m au lieu de 90m grâce à la mise à disposition progressive des données SRTM à
  1 seconde d'arc par la NASA (au lieu de 3 secondes précédemment). &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/30m_-_90m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/.30m_-_90m_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;30m_-_90m.png&quot; style=&quot;display:block; margin:0 auto;&quot; title=&quot;30m_-_90m.png, juil. 2015&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Pour faire simple, on gagne l'équivalent de 1.5 niveau de zoom pour les
  informations de relief: c'est plus précis.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Dans le détail, voici les données utilisées par le serveur pour le calcul de
  la couche de relief.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/DEM3_coverage.png&quot; alt=&quot;DEM3_coverage.png&quot; style=&quot;display:block; margin:0 auto;&quot; title=&quot;DEM3_coverage.png, juil. 2015&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;em&gt;Screenshot from USGS explorer on Google-map background&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Les données SRTM 30m sont utilisées là ou elles sont disponibles. Plus au
  nord, il s'agit des données provenant de l'EU-DEM pour la scandinavie, puis
  d'ASTER pour l'Alaska, le Canada, le Groenland et la Russie. Enfin, dans une
  zone s'étirant de la Grèce à l'Iran, les données SRTM 90m sont utilisées.
  J'espère pouvoir profiter là aussi de données à 30m bientôt.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Afin de réaliser l'assemblage de ces jeux de données différents, je suis
  passé par python-gdal et un script maison pour économiser l'espace disque lors
  du calcul du modéle numérique de terrain global. Dans ce modéle, les données
  SRTM 30m sont filtrées par un filtre médian 3x3 pixels et les données ASTER par
  un filtre 10x10 pixels afin de limiter un peu les artefacts (bruit). Les blocs
  de 1x1° calculés par le script sont traités par les utilitaires gdal pour
  calculer l'ombrage et ré-assembler le tout. Du point de vue du rendu, j'en ai
  profité pour pré-calculer les images de relief aux zooms intermédiaires afin
  d'alléger la tâche du serveur de tuiles, l'affichage de la carte doit désormais
  être plus fluide.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Les courbes de niveaux seront aussi mises à jour à partir des mêmes données,
  sous réserve de parvenir à les optimiser suffisamment ou de disposer de
  l'espace disque nécessaire.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

      <content type="html">    &lt;p&gt;The season is over, time for stats!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Mind you? With more than 35'000km of crosscountry pistes and 28'000km of
  alpine descent, there is some ski pistes left to maps in OSM.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/Alpine_Screenshot_from_2015-05-10_18_59_33.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.opensnowmap.org/public/.Alpine_Screenshot_from_2015-05-10_18_59_33_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Alpine_Screenshot_from_2015-05-10_18_59_33.png&quot; title=&quot;Alpine_Screenshot_from_2015-05-10_18_59_33.png, mai 2015&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mapping of ski pistes continues at a steady state. However the winter step
  is more obvious among crosscountry skier. Maybe they still map with a GPS in
  their pocket? Kudos to you !&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The public updates of java 7 ended over a year ago in Apr 2015 and java 8 was
  released in Mar 2014, so you are likely to be running java 8 already, except
  for some long term supported linux distributions where java 7 may still
  be the default and you will have to install java 8 in addition or instead of
  java 7.&lt;/p&gt;

  are added to OSM, Gerd undertook a project to update the code to deal with many more cases of real world
  OSM tagging.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The main changes are:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;mkgmap tries to identify unnamed roads which lead to houses and can be named
  (assuming they are service roads)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;mkgmap tries to find a plausible road when
  no street is given.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;addr:interpolation&lt;/code&gt; ways are used to find the most plausible road
  and the interpolated addresses are found&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;improved evaluation of &lt;code&gt;addr:*&lt;/code&gt; tags, esp. the support for &lt;code&gt;addr:place&lt;/code&gt; and the 
  support for &lt;code&gt;addr:housenumber&lt;/code&gt; without &lt;code&gt;addr:street&lt;/code&gt;, 
  img data is optimized to make sure that address search finds a place close (&amp;lt; 40m) to the address. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;special cases regarding addresses in different cities or
  zip codes along the same road are handled. This is important when a road
  starts in city A and has some numbers 1..20 there and later crosses city B with
  numbers 1..5 and finally ends in city C with numbers 1..50.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;the found addresses are typically closer to the house&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Using in your own style &lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;If you want to test with your own style: Please note the new special tags
  &lt;code&gt;mkgmap:numbers=false&lt;/code&gt;
  and &lt;code&gt;mkgmap:execute_finalize_rules=true&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;a road with &lt;code&gt;mkgmap:numbers=false&lt;/code&gt; is ignored in house number processing.
  The default style uses this for ferries and motorways and for bicycle-only roads.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The &lt;code&gt;mkgmap:execute_finalize_rules=true&lt;/code&gt; tag will cause the finalize rules to
  be run, even if no object is created in the map for that element.
  So to set the city, region and country values for all elements with house numbers, use&lt;div class="source"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;addr:housenumber&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="l"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;set&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;mkgmap:execute_finalize_rules&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  as a first rule in points, lines and polygons and add&lt;div class="source"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;include &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&amp;#39;inc/address&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  to the finalize sections.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Use version r3612 or above to get these upgrades.&lt;/p&gt;
  </summary></entry><entry><title>Drive on left or right</title><link href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2014/12/11/drive-on-left-or-right" rel="alternate"></link><published>2014-12-11T00:00:00+00:00</published><id>http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2014/12/11/drive-on-left-or-right</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;From r3366 there are some improvements to the support for driving on the left or right.
  Each tile has a flag to say if roads are drive on the left or right. It is known to
  make a difference with roundabouts and may be used in other ways.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The options &lt;code&gt;--drive-on-left&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;--drive-on-right&lt;/code&gt; were
  replaced by &lt;code&gt;--drive-on=left&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;--drive-on=right&lt;/code&gt;.
  You can also add &lt;i&gt;detect&lt;/i&gt; which will use the country information to select
  the correct side. The default is equivalent to
  &lt;code&gt;--drive-on=detect,right&lt;/code&gt; which means that if detection fails, it
  will use drive on the right.
  The old flags &lt;code&gt;--drive-on-left&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;--drive-on-right&lt;/code&gt; still work.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The detection uses the precompiled bounds (or country-abbr/country-name) to
  determine the country in which the roads are located, and the resource file
  LocatorConfig.xml contains a new attribute driveOnLeft="true" for all known
  drive-on-left countries&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;If a tile covers two countries where you drive on different sides of the road, then
  it cannot work for the whole tile and you get a warning. In the future we will be able to cut tiles on country boundaries
  so that the problem will then not arise.&lt;/p&gt;

  value from meters to feet, this was originally for contour heights
  which need to be in feet, but the default for OSM is for them to
  be in meters.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;With the release of version r3353 these conversions are much more useful
  and can be applied to speeds as well as lengths. They also take into account
  any unit that is already specified.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So for example if you specify a conversion of meters to feet,
  then "100" will be converted to "328", "100m" will be converted to "328"
  but "100ft" will be left as "100". Furthermore "100km" would
  result in "328000".
  If any of the units are not recognised then the value remains completely
  unchanged.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;table class="display"&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;th&gt;Input &lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt; Result&lt;/th&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;100 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; 328&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;100m &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; 328&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;100ft &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; 100&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;100km &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; 328000&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;100xyz &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; 100xyz&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Here are some examples.&lt;div class="source"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span class="na"&gt;natural&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;hill&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;height&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="l"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Here are the main things that are newly implemented: &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Restrictions that prohibit going between two node via a particular way.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;restrictions no_entry or no_exit&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;specific vehicle type, e.g. type=restriction:motorcar or
  restriction:motorcar=no_u_turn&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;fixes possible error if different roads connect the same nodes
  (old code possibly saved the restriction for the wrong road)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;detects obsolete restrictions, e.g. when a oneway doesn't allow
  to enter the road or when the restiction applies to motor_vehicles
  only and the road is a cycleway.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;if the style creates multiple routable ways for one OSM way,
  the restriction is added for all needed combinations&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There are a lot of bug fixes too, so it should all work a lot more smoothly.
  Use version r3189 or higher for all the fixes.&lt;/p&gt;

  years now. So I am very happy to announce that the latest version of mkgmap
  now saves much improved routing information to the map. This allows better
  routes to be calculated and over longer distances in many cases.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Although there are no deliberate backward incompatibilities,
  if you have a heavily customised style, you should carefully examine any 
  workarounds to force particular routing behaviour as it may no longer
  be necessary or may work differently now.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Also the new version improves the fidelity of features on the map, such
  as roundabouts and parallel lines.
  It happens that positions can only be represented to within 1-2 meters in a Garmin
  map, whereas positions are recorded much more accurately than that within OSM.
  So some approximation is necessary, however this was made worse since mkgmap
  would reduce the precision right at the beginning, allowing errors to build up
  as the data was manipulated. Now the extra accuracy is kept throughout all
  processing until the map data is written and care is taken to preserve angles
  so that lines that are meant to be parallel are more likely to stay that
  way and are less likely to cross or appear to cross.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Both these improvements were added by Gerd.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;[ &lt;b&gt;Updated&lt;/b&gt;: modified to say that roundabouts and parallel lines are a better example of improvement than buildings. Buildings
  will be improved in a subsequent update ]&lt;/p&gt;

As a benefit the routing network is up to 25% smaller which results in faster route calculation and slightly smaller img files.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Changes in the style system:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Styles can now have a &lt;tt&gt;&amp;lt;finalize&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; block. This block is executed for each element if an element style definition matches. The finalize block must contain actions only. This is sometimes useful for general rules and to assign the numerous &lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:*&lt;/tt&gt; tags.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The four labels to pois/lines/roads/polygons are no longer assigned automatically. They must be assigned using the &lt;tt&gt;name&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;addlabel&lt;/tt&gt; function. This also means that &lt;tt&gt;ref&lt;/tt&gt; tags are no longer used as labels automatically.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Access restrictions of roads are now defined by setting special &lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:*&lt;/tt&gt; access tags (&lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:car, mkgmap:foot, mkgmap:bicycle, mkgmap:truck, mkgmap:bus, mkgmap:taxi, mkgmap:emergency, mkgmap:delivery&lt;/tt&gt;). Roads are blocked for a specific vehicle type if the mkgmap:&amp;lt;type&gt; is set to the value &lt;tt&gt;no&lt;/tt&gt;. The new &lt;tt&gt;addaccess&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;setaccess&lt;/tt&gt; actions help to assign all values at once.
  &lt;pre&gt;
   Example:
   highway=motorway { set mkgmap:foot=no }
   This rule blocks access of pedestrians to motorways.
  &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:carpool&lt;/tt&gt; does no longer automatically set all access restrictions. In the trunk &lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:carpool=yes&lt;/tt&gt; lead to set all access restrictions to &lt;tt&gt;no&lt;/tt&gt; except emergency, bus and carpool. It is not fully clear if the bit toggled by mkgmap really controls if a road has a carpool lane or not. So use it with caution.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The road speed is no longer automatically calculated using the &lt;tt&gt;maxspeed&lt;/tt&gt; tag. New style functions &lt;tt&gt;maxspeedkmh()&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;maxspeedmph()&lt;/tt&gt; allow to perform the same by setting the &lt;tt&gt;mkgmap:road-speed-class&lt;/tt&gt; tag. Due to this change the &lt;tt&gt;--ignore-maxspeeds&lt;/tt&gt; option is superfluous and has been removed.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The changes listed above require a change of all style files. But there are three new include files (&lt;tt&gt;inc/compat_points, inc/compat_lines, inc/compat_polygons&lt;/tt&gt;) which ensure compatibility to pre-r2906 releases. They need to be added to the new finalize section.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Example lines file:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;pre&gt;
   ...
   boundary=political [0x1c resolution 19]
   
   include 'inc/water_lines';
   include 'inc/contour_lines';
   
   # add the following lines to your lines file
   &amp;lt;finalize&gt;
   include 'inc/compat_lines'; 
  &lt;/pre&gt;

  would be nice to be able to see them on your GPS. In fact this has been a much

  &lt;p&gt;This is now possible, and has been for some time - I suck at getting the news out
  promptly.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It works with both polish format input files and also with 
  regular OpenStreetMap format files.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For files in Polish format, the house numbers support is complete and any
  differences from what you were expecting should be reported as a bug.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For OSM files things are a bit more tricky because there are various systems of
  recording housenumbers used in different parts of the world, and not all of them
  will be recognised.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;For OSM files, you need to add the &lt;code&gt;--housenumbers&lt;/code&gt; option to
  get house numbers in the map.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Of course if there are no numbers in the OSM data in your region then you will
  need to get out and map some to take advantage of this. You will need to add
  &lt;code&gt;addr:street&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;addr:housenumber&lt;/code&gt; to nodes or polygons
  representing the house.&lt;/p&gt;

  proper overview map into trunk.
  Update now or go and get version r2636 or later from the &lt;a href="/download/mkgmap.html"&gt;download page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is an important feature that has been missing from mkgmap for a long time.
  The overview map exists to display a low resolution map of the whole area of a set of
  map tiles.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Although there has always been an overview map, as it is essential to displaying in
  MapSource or BaseCamp, it has been empty apart from the polygons that show the
  area covered by each tile in the map.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There was another problem: to compensate for the lack of an overview map most
  map styles, including the default one, contained extra map levels so that the
  map was still visible when zoomed out to the scale of regions and countries.
  This extra data made the map slower when scrolling on GPS devices.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So the change has a double benefit; the map is still visible when zoomed out far enough to
  show whole countries and continents and can also be faster to scroll on GPS&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The new enhanced overview map will be automatically generated when creating a
  map without having to make any changes. There are however a couple of new options to
  control what happens.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;--overview-levels&lt;/dt&gt;
  &lt;dd&gt;like levels, specifies additional levels that are to be written to the
  overview map. Counting of the levels should continue. Up to 8 additional 
  levels may be specified, but the lowest usable resolution with MapSource 
  seems to be 11. &lt;/dd&gt;
  &lt;dt&gt;--remove-ovm-work-files&lt;/dt&gt;
  &lt;dd&gt;If overview-levels is used, mkgmap creates one additional file 
  with the prefix ovm_ for each map (*.img) file. 
  These files are used to create the overview map.
  With option --remove-ovm-work-files=true the files are removed 
  after the overview map was created. The default is to keep the files. &lt;/dd&gt;
  &lt;/dl&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Further improvements &lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;In addition to the overview map, there is also a slew of improvements and bug fixes
  that have been added.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Fixes&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There are fixes for maps that cover a large portion of the globe or extend to 180 degrees longitude.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;fix wrong interpretation of 0x800000 as -180.0 degrees for maxLon&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;fix treatment of very long lines that cross the planet&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Optimizations&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The polygon filter allows larger polygons. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;SeaGenerator generates fewer "sea-only" and "land-only" polygons when 
  precomp-sea is used.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Both reduce the img size, esp. for maps containing large &lt;b&gt;sea only&lt;/b&gt; areas. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;An option to better control the minimum size of a polygon that can now be configured per level.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;--polygon-size-limits=limits-code&lt;/dt&gt;
  &lt;dd&gt;Allows you to specify a different min-size-polygon value for each resolution.
  For example: 
  &lt;pre&gt;
    --polygon-size-limits="24:12, 18:10, 16:8, 14:4, 12:2, 11:0"
  &lt;/pre&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
  If a resolution is not given, mkgmap uses the value for the next higher 
  one. For the given sample, resolutions 19 to 24 will use value 12,
  resolution 17 and 18 will use 10, and so on.
  Value 0 means to skip the size filter. 
  Note that in resolution 24 the filter is not used. &lt;/dd&gt;
  &lt;/dl&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Changes regarding styles&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The support for the obsolete map-features.csv file was removed.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Level ranges can now use min-max or max-min&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;There is now an option &lt;code&gt;--check-styles&lt;/code&gt; which will flag issues in the style
  that are known to cause problems.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Other changes&lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;A few checks are performed regarding the plausibility of the given options and input files
  to help beginners.&lt;/li&gt;

  you should experiment with the results.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Usually Garmin devices do not display the name of the exit on motorways while
  routing with mkgmap created maps. The new feature allows you to create a
  style rule that names part of the exit link road with the junction number, so
  that when the device tells you to turn onto that road it will include the
  junction number.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;To make this work you have to specify the --process-exits option.
  This works by splitting each motorway_link into three parts. All parts are
  tagged with the original tags of the motorway_link. Additionally the middle
  part is tagged with the following tags:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;pre&gt;
   mkgmap:exit_hint=true
   mkgmap:exit_hint_ref=ref # tag value of the motorway exit
   mkgmap:exit_hint_name=name # tag value of the motorway exit
   mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to=exit_to # tag value of the motorway exit
  &lt;/pre&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Adding a rule checking that mkgmap:exit_hint=true makes it possible to use
  Garmin type 0x01 (motorway) for the middle part so that the Garmin device
  displays the name of this middle part as a hint where to leave the motorway. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;An example of such a rule is given below.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;pre class="wiki-pre"&gt;
  highway=motorway_link &amp;amp; mkgmap:exit_hint=true
     { delete display_name;
       name 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |
            'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |
            'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |
            'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |
            'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}' }
      [0x1 road_class=3 road_speed=2 level 1]
  &lt;/pre&gt;</summary></entry><entry><title>Style functions</title><link href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2013/01/20/style-functions" rel="alternate"></link><published>2013-01-20T00:00:00+00:00</published><id>http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2013/01/20/style-functions</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;In a mkgmap style, you can now do more than just test the values of tags.&lt;/p&gt;

  bounds used by mkgmap to assign correct address information. This option is now
  removed and replaced by a separate tool delivered with the common mkgmap
  download.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The following command chain is an example how to create preprocessed bounds for
  europe. Additionally to mkgmap you need the two tools osmconvert and osmfilter.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Download the OSM europe extract&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Run osmconvert and osmfilter to extract all boundary information:
  &lt;pre&gt;
     osmconvert europe.osm.pbf --out-o5m &gt;europe.o5m
     # The following should all be one line
     osmfilter europe.o5m --keep-nodes=
       --keep-ways-relations="boundary=administrative =postal_code postal_code="
       --out-o5m &gt; europe-boundaries.o5m
  &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Start the new mkgmap bounds preprocessor:
  &lt;pre&gt;
     # The following should be all one line
     java -cp mkgmap.jar
       uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryPreprocessor
       europe-boundaries.o5m
       europe_bounds
  &lt;/pre&gt;This will create a directory called europe_bounds containing the preprocessed bounds which can be used
  with the bounds option on the mkgmap command line. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ol&gt;

  &lt;pre&gt;
   SEVERE (RoadNetwork): 63240020.osm.gz: Road (...) contains zero length arc ...
  &lt;/pre&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;These were not caused by bad map data, or something that you could do
  anything about. The solution was to give the
  &lt;kbd&gt;--remove-short-arcs&lt;/kbd&gt; option. If you did not give that
  option, then you could get routing errors in addition to those error
  messages. This meant that the option was effectively required.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This has now been fixed and in the latest versions of mkgmap the
  option is no longer required and at some point in the future it will
  be removed altogether.&lt;/p&gt;

You can read these files
  just by putting them on the command line as with any other file. For splitter
  the default output format remains pbf, so if you want it to produce o5m files
  on output then you will need to give the &lt;tt&gt;--output=o5m&lt;/tt&gt; option.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Files in the o5m format are larger than those in the pbf format, but are faster
  to read, particularly for splitter when it has to re-read the input file
  several times.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is not such a large speed advantage for mkgmap.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The o5m support was added by Gerd Petermann.&lt;/p&gt;
  </summary></entry><entry><title>Improved splitter released</title><link href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/12/17/improved-splitter-released" rel="alternate"></link><published>2012-12-17T00:00:00+00:00</published><id>http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/12/17/improved-splitter-released</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Congratulations on a much improved version of splitter that was released
  today by Gerd Petermann.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The first improvement is that it fixes the annoying failures on large multipolygons
  such as lakes and forests and also on long ways such as ferry routes or country borders.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The previous method used by splitter could not guarantee that all features that should affect a tile
  but were wholly or partially outside of the tile would be correctly included.
  The new version tracks down all these cases and makes sure that they are complete.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Currently you have to supply the &lt;code&gt;--keep-complete=true&lt;/code&gt; option to get the new
  behaviour, but as the results are so much better this will surely become the
  default soon.
  It does take a little extra time and more memory with this option, but as the resulting file sizes
  are smaller, it takes less time to run mkgmap on them so there is not so much
  difference in the overall time taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The split is also improved to make the tiles sizes more even. This means both a more
  consistent number of points within the same tile and the tiles are more
  square with an maximum aspect ratio of 1:4 if possible with the given input file.
  More care is taken with tiles that approach the poles or the 180 degree of longitude line.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/O5m"&gt;o5m&lt;/a&gt; format is now supported for both
  read and write. The o5m format is somewhat quicker when used as a splitter input file.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There are also loads of bug fixes too!
  This is all available in release r263 which
  can be obtained as always from the &lt;a href="/download/splitter.html"&gt;splitter download page&lt;/a&gt;
  There are many more changes than are mentioned here, so for full details
  read the full description &lt;a href="/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2012q4/015806.html"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;General information on how to use splitter can be found at
  the &lt;a href="/tile-splitter"&gt;tile splitter&lt;/a&gt; page.&lt;/p&gt;
  </summary></entry><entry><title>TYP file compiler</title><link href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/02/17/typ-file-compiler" rel="alternate"></link><published>2012-02-17T00:00:00+00:00</published><id>http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/02/17/typ-file-compiler</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Another recent feature added is the ability to compile TYP file from the .txt
  format.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is no special option needed, just place the .txt file on the command line wherever you would normally put a .typ file and it will be compiled to a .typ file with the same name and processed as though you had put that file on the command line.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;A TYP file has a family id, and this must match the map it is used with.
  To make this easy, the family id is set automatically by mkgmap to the family-id that is
  being used to compile the map set.
  This will override any family id that is set within the TYP txt file itself.
  If no family-id option is given then the one in the txt file will be used.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The compiler supports some of the newer features in the TYP file:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;images with single colour transparency (gif-style)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;images with partially transparent colours (alpha channel)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;true colour images (16 million colours)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;true colour images with transparency&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Icons containing the same image in different resolutions, that can be displayed at a high resolution on newer devices.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The .txt files are best created with a graphical editor such as &lt;a href="http://pinns.co.uk/osm/ostyp.html"&gt;TYPWiz&lt;/a&gt; or the &lt;a href="http://ati.land.cz/gps/typdecomp/editor.cgi"&gt;
  ati land&lt;/a&gt; web based editor.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is a wiki page that describes the language that is accepted
  at &lt;a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/typ_compile"&gt;mkgmap typ compile&lt;/a&gt;
  if you want to write software to create such files or even create them by hand!
  The compiler also attempts to read files produced by all the major know editors
  in addition to the recommended syntax described on that page.&lt;/p&gt;
  </summary></entry><entry><title>Address index for GPS devices</title><link href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/01/28/address-index-for-gps-devices" rel="alternate"></link><published>2012-01-28T00:00:00+00:00</published><id>http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/01/28/address-index-for-gps-devices</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;The latest versions of mkgmap can now build a street address index when
  creating a gmapsupp.img file for a GPS device.
  This means you do not have to use MapSource to perform this step any more.
  This will be particularly beneficial to those using Linux to build their maps.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;There is no special option to enable this new feature, if you have both the --index and --gmapsupp
  options, then the street index will be built inside the gmapsupp.img that is created.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The main thing to watch out for is that if you &lt;b&gt;also&lt;/b&gt; have the --tdbfile flag set you will get
  &lt;b&gt;both&lt;/b&gt; indexes and this will use more memory.
  Best thing is just to omit the --tdbfile option if you are not wanting to install the map on Windows.
  Otherwise you can build the gmapsupp in a separate step. You can combine the .img files without having
  to compile them from the OSM files and so this step is very quick.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;At the moment the index will not fully work if you are combining more than one family id into the output file.&lt;/p&gt;

While Russia ended its efforts to falsify roads, rivers and even city quarters at the end of the 80s, in light of upcoming satellite imagery based maps, China continues its own efforts for unknown reasons. A map law, with 68 paragraphs, requires that only approved maps are allowed to be published, with &#8220;correct&#8221; borders of course. Only 14 Chinese companies have a licence to produce and publish maps. The distortion is assumed to range between 50 and 700 metres and can be seen when comparing a satellite image on Google maps with the road map layer. The article mentions OSM as an alternative with &#8220;controversial legality&#8221;.</li>

  <li id="wn475_20786">Version 2.15.5 of iD has been released. A list of the improvements can be found in the GitHub <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/2359">comments</a>.</li>

The app now caches collections of POIs locally which greatly speeds up the user experience when selecting the kind of POI to search for. OSM tags are now updated dynamically so the company can add support for new tags without having to release a new version of the app. AnyFinder 2.0 currently finds 88 different kinds of POIs and supports 63 OSM tags and 198 dedicated tag values.</li>

Новогодний выпуск был последним. Это был интересный опыт: и интервью со специалистами в области ГИС в 2015 году, и обсуждения новостей в 2016. Спасибо всем, кто помогал вести передачу, кто звонил и отвечал на вопросы, и, конечно, всем слушателям. Если бы не слушатели, радио бы закончилось гораздо раньше.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Тут бы и конец, но в русскоязычном сообществе OpenStreetMap нашёлся человек, готовый продолжить дело. Поэтому с четверга 5 января выпуски продолжатся по адресу &lt;a href="https://radio.openstreetmap.club/"&gt;radio.openstreetmap.club&lt;/a&gt;. Начало в 22:00, не опаздывайте! Спасибо, Тимофей!&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;Just to get a glimpse on what happens when you spray access tags by feeling and
  make driveways to tracks or make them unusable by adding an &lt;strong&gt;access=private&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://f.zz.de/media/201910152010.access_private_on_driveways.routeable-addresses-example.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://f.zz.de/media/201910152010.access_private_on_driveways.routeable-addresses-example.png&quot; width=&quot;663&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; class=&quot;img&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;All people navigating/routing to addresses at &quot;Zur Hohen Wand&quot; will end up on
  the parking lot of the restaurant, 600m away with a double track railway
  inbetween.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;This is simply matching OSM addresses with the OSRM nearest call to the
  routable network.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I am calculating this view for some German Bundesländer:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=addresses-nrw&amp;amp;layer=routeable&quot;&gt;Nordrhein-Westfalen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=addresses-sn&amp;amp;layer=routeable&quot;&gt;Sachsen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=addresses-nds&amp;amp;layer=routeable&quot;&gt;Niedersachsen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=addresses-bw&amp;amp;layer=routeable&quot;&gt;Baden-Württemberg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;


  &lt;p&gt;And yes - I know ALL arguments that this can be fixed in the software
  e.g. routers. But it hasnt. It hasnt been fixed for 12 years. And i
  dont think this is a software problem. If someone says &lt;strong&gt;access=private&lt;/strong&gt;
  noone is allowed in. Not the postal service, not friends or the
  school bus. You have explicitly told anyone not to go there. How
  could a machine decide to ignore the mappers request.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2&gt;Tracks&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Tracks are not for everyday driving by car. So they are
  excluded for the normal car routing graph which is correct.
  Except - Someone sprays an access=permissive or something on
  it and suddenly its available for a car.
  Driveways to farmyards are NOT tracks. They are not dominantly
  used for agricultural purposes. The amount of traffic for living
  outweights by orders of magnitude. The postal services goes there,
  the kids go to school. Friends come and go. People drive to work.
  Tagging a driveway to a farm as an agricultural track makes
  the farm unreachable for most of todays car routing engines in
  their default settings.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2&gt;access tags&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Most commonly &lt;strong&gt;access=private&lt;/strong&gt; on a &lt;strong&gt;highway=service&lt;/strong&gt; with
  &lt;strong&gt;service=driveway&lt;/strong&gt; or some random other mixture. In 10 years
  fighting this spraying of access tags i have only seen a &lt;em&gt;single&lt;/em&gt; case
  of a valid &lt;strong&gt;access=private&lt;/strong&gt; on a driveway. And that sounded
  more like - &quot;You&#39;ll die if you continue here&quot;. Even as the UPS driver
  i&#39;d be frightened to go in there.
  All others said that its &quot;Private property&quot; or the German version
  &quot;Privatweg&quot;. I am okay with that. service=driveway says exactly that.
  So why do people spray &quot;felt&quot; access restriction on ways?
  It contradicts the &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Verifiability&quot;&gt;Good Practice&lt;/a&gt;
  by only mapping what is verifiable and when there is no sign
  &quot;Keep of the lawn&quot; there is no reason to invent restriction.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Yes i know - You all have seen nice profiles or settings where you
  automatically convert an access=private into an access=destination, or
  can allow a router to use a track. But thats not what the mapper said.
  You are overriding the mappers decision&lt;/p&gt;

  	&lt;p&gt;Pretty funny. I ignored the &lt;a href=&quot;https://forum.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM Forum&lt;/a&gt;
  for a long time as i am a keyboard guy and i read my mails with mutt
  and have pretty streamlined processes for consuming huge quantities of
  mail.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Now i started reading and responding in the Forum.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;It took less than 10 days (And 11 posts) in the Forum before the first
  responded to a discussion with personal &quot;accusation&quot; in a for me hostile
  language.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I didnt know the OSM Forum was that kind of hostile and fucked up place.&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;For some time i was thinking about a check for hierarchy in areas. For example
  the &lt;code&gt;amenity=parking&lt;/code&gt; for a school should be completely within the surrounding
  &lt;code&gt;amenity=school&lt;/code&gt; and not cross the outer boundary.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I implemented the first checks which checks leisure and amenity for crossing
  themselves or landuse/natural.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;One of the huge error sources are &lt;code&gt;leisure=nature_reserve&lt;/code&gt; which are basically
  above everything else. IMHO they should not be a leisure but some type
  of boundary relation. For now i excluded the nature_reserves as then
  all nature reserves would be red.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Here is a very simple example as a cropped screenshot from josm. The &lt;code&gt;amenity=parking&lt;/code&gt;
  should either be completely within the surrounding &lt;code&gt;amenity=hospital&lt;/code&gt; or
  outside of that &lt;code&gt;amenity&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://f.zz.de/media/201810201524.area_hierarchy_qa_checks.hierachyexample.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://f.zz.de/media/201810201524.area_hierarchy_qa_checks.hierachyexample.jpg&quot; width=&quot;684&quot; height=&quot;617&quot; class=&quot;img&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;There are cornercases where this might not actually be correct but i
  havent found that many yet.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The output of the checks is currently available for some German states e.g.
  NRW, RLP, NDS, HE as the other landuse, natural and building overlaps checks
  i am running.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Here is the example of the Hannover region:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=landuseoverlap-nds&amp;amp;layer=hierarchy#52.38147,9.7296,12z&quot;&gt;https://osm.zz.de/dbview/?db=landuseoverlap-nds&amp;amp;layer=hierarchy#52.38147,9.7296,12z&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;For ten years &lt;a href=&quot;https://f.zz.de/posts/201004291508.yeah_-_ich_kann_mappen_fahren_.../&quot;&gt;he had to go where i went&lt;/a&gt;

  	&lt;p&gt;Das zu Ende gegangene Jahr 2016 war mein &lt;a href=&quot;http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?flohoff&quot;&gt;bisher schwächstes&lt;/a&gt;
  seit 2012 bei OpenStreetMap. Das lag daran das ich in den
  Jahren 2011 bis 2015 viel auch beruflich mit OpenStreetMap
  gemacht habe, Ende 2015 dann aber ja den &lt;a href=&quot;https://f.zz.de/posts/201601150956.die_arbeit_und_ich/&quot;&gt;Arbeitgeber gewechselt&lt;/a&gt;
  habe. Seit dem ist OpenStreetMap dann doch nur noch ein Hobby.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Aber ich habe heute nach 172 Tagen Abstinenz wieder ein paar
  Papiercontainer entfernt die nicht mehr existieren. Es wird
  wieder Sommer und dann mache ich wieder mehr ...&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;Seit ein paar Jahren beobachte ich die stetige Flut von access
  tags die sich mit der deutschen StVO nicht erklären lassen.
  Aus einem &lt;a href=&quot;https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeichen_252_-_Verbot_f%C3%BCr_Kraftr%C3%A4der,_auch_mit_Beiwagen,_Kleinkraftr%C3%A4der,_Fahrr%C3%A4der_mit_Hilfsmotor_und_Kraftwagen,_StVO_1970.svg&quot;&gt;Zeichen 260&lt;/a&gt; + &quot;Anlieger frei&quot; wird dann ein
  &lt;em&gt;access=destination&lt;/em&gt;. Das ist natürlich quatsch. Es müsste sein
  &lt;em&gt;motor_vehicle=destination&lt;/em&gt;. Im ersten Fall sind ja Radfahrer
  und Fußgänger ebenso betroffen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Leider ist in meinen Augen das &lt;em&gt;access&lt;/em&gt; Thema auch wirklich ein großes
  Chaos. Die wiki Seite propagiert die Nutzung von &lt;em&gt;access=&lt;/em&gt; was aber ja
  nach Beschilderung zumindest in Deutschland fast nie stimmt.
  Dazu kommt das es dann tag Kombination gibt die sich gegenseitig aufheben
  oder widersprechen (access=no, foot=yes) was vermutlich in diversen
  Routingengines zu undefinierten Ergebnissen führt.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Dazu kommen noch tag kombinationen wie&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;highway=residential
  access=private
  &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Die ich für sehr abwegig halte. Eine öffentliche Straße kann IMHO
  nicht grundsätzlich nur für die private Nutzung sein. Gerne genommen
  wird soetwas bei öffentlichen Straßen auf privatem Grund bei dem
  der Straßenunterhaltungspflichtige (Also der private Eigentümer)
  ein Schild &quot;Privatweg&quot; aufstellt um sich von der Haftung &quot;freizukaufen&quot;.
  Ein reines Schild &quot;Privatweg&quot; ist aber noch keine Nutzungseinschränkung. Erst
  wenn Zusätze wie &quot;Durchfahrt Verboten&quot; dazu kommen würde das eine access
  restriction nach sich ziehen. IMHO kann das dann aber kein öffentlicher weg mehr
  sein und damit ist das ein &lt;em&gt;highway=service&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Bei Privatwegen habe ich mir angewöhnt ein &lt;em&gt;ownership=private&lt;/em&gt; auf den weg
  zu packen und einen &lt;em&gt;note&lt;/em&gt; woher ich das weiss oder ableite.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Um dem ganzen zumindest in meinem Bereich mal Herr zu werden habe ich
  meine C++ Kenntnisse mal genutzt um mit libosmium in 10 Minuten eine kleine
  Auswertung zu bauen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;git clone git://pax.zz.de/accessonhighway
  &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Der nimmt ein &lt;em&gt;pbf&lt;/em&gt; file und wirft dann eine liste von wegen raus die
  ein &lt;em&gt;access=&lt;/em&gt; tag haben. &lt;em&gt;yes&lt;/em&gt; wäre redundant, &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; wäre von der StVO nicht
  gedeckt (Ausser es ist noch ein construction drauf z.b.) und
  für &lt;em&gt;destination&lt;/em&gt; oder &lt;em&gt;private&lt;/em&gt; sehe ich keine StVO Beschilderung die das
  erwirken könnte - Alles Fälle bei denen es sich mal lohnt hinterher zu suchen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Hier die Auswertung der heutigen Daten für Ostwestfalen-Lippe:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/tmp/20151228/Regierungsbezirk%20Detmold/Regierungsbezirk%20Detmold-access-tags-on-public-roads.txt&quot;&gt;http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/tmp/20151228/Regierungsbezirk%20Detmold/Regierungsbezirk%20Detmold-access-tags-on-public-roads.txt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Weitere möglichkeiten für die Auswertung:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;highway=service&lt;/em&gt; und &lt;em&gt;name=&lt;/em&gt; - Eine private Straße ist typischerweise nicht
  gewidmet. Meistens wird hier einfach mal weil die Straße halt eng war nicht mehr
  mit residential weiter gemacht sondern mit &lt;em&gt;service&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Wiedersprechende access tags wie &lt;em&gt;vehicle=no&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;motor_vehicle=yes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Unsinnige kombinationen &lt;em&gt;highway=footway&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;foot=no&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Überflüssige tags &lt;em&gt;highway=service&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;service=driveway&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;access=private&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;For a long time i observe people abusing the &lt;code&gt;name&lt;/code&gt; tag for all kinds of
  descriptions, refs etc. Whenever there is no matching tag for putting a string
  the &lt;code&gt;name&lt;/code&gt; tag gets used.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;IMHO the &lt;code&gt;name&lt;/code&gt; tag should really only carry names not object descriptions. A
  kindergarten should carry the tag &lt;code&gt;amenity=kindergarten&lt;/code&gt; not
  &lt;code&gt;name=Kindergarten&lt;/code&gt;. The name tag should really only contain the name.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;There is no real way to actually clean this up or detect name abuse
  automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;As i wanted to learn C++ (beeing a C and Perl programmer) i started to play
  with libosmium a little and got my way to write a name tag extractor for a
  given pbf file.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;git clone git://pax.zz.de/nameextract&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Most likely the C++ code is horrible by coding standards but its the result of
  a single day starting to get my way into C++.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;nameextract&lt;/code&gt; will parse the pbf file with the help of libosmium and
  dump a unordered list of name tags and the objects e.g. N4711 and W0815 for
  nodes and ways carrying that specific name. &lt;code&gt;ne2html&lt;/code&gt; will format that output a
  little nicer with HTML so can open it with a browser and use the links for JOSM
  remote control or opening the object on the OpenStreetMap website.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I did so for parts of Ostwestfalen-Lippe and you&#39;ll wonder how often
  there is a name tag with a single digit number value.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Some extracts with data of today:&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;Zunehmend finde ich Objekte bei OSM die einen ziemlich obskuren bis
  kaputten &lt;strong&gt;name&lt;/strong&gt; tragen. So z.b. &lt;strong&gt;name=Kuhtunnel&lt;/strong&gt; oder auch
  &lt;strong&gt;name=Neuer Radweg&lt;/strong&gt; oder sogar nur ein &lt;strong&gt;name=Radweg&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Das &lt;strong&gt;name&lt;/strong&gt; tag sollte den namen tragen und nicht eine ausführliche Beschreiben
  des Objektes oder dessen Nutzung. Das das ein Radweg ist wird sich durch eine
  Sammlung von highway tags erklären dazu bedarf es keinerlei Beschreibung.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Das ganze fällt immer dann auf wenn wirklich jeder &lt;strong&gt;name&lt;/strong&gt;
  gerendert wird und dann mit einem durch zufälliges label placement
  nicht mehr der Name der Bundesstraße sondern dort &quot;Kuhtunnel&quot; steht.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mal ganz davon abgesehen das dieserlei Namen dann jeglichen Index aufblähen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wer sucht schon nach &quot;Radweg&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Ich bin durchaus dafür zwecks Mapper kommunikation strittige Objekte mehr
  zu beschreiben oder im Freitext zu attributieren. Das sollte dann aber
  in einem &lt;strong&gt;note&lt;/strong&gt; stehen und nicht im &lt;strong&gt;name&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;Having done some Mapillary imaging last year for example &lt;a href=&quot;http://f.zz.de/posts/201404181623.mapillary__diy_stretview&quot;&gt;by Car&lt;/a&gt;
  or &lt;a href=&quot;http://f.zz.de/posts/201407152206.mapillary_biker&quot;&gt;by bike&lt;/a&gt; i thought of using
  more professional stuff.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The more dense the map gets the more important it gets to actually go back and
  proof something exists as you mapped it. Mapping sidewalks, cycleways, surface and lit
  to all streets is a complex and time consuming task. So i plan to take images on
  all streets of my hometown and surrounding so i can do armchair mapping in
  the upcoming winter.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;An old Galaxy S4 with broken cell receipt and broken glass used as a GPS enabled camera.
  Then some RAM mount gear and a buybits mobile cage you all can find on Amazon. This is all
  not cheap but worth the money.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Then i got into the pitfall only having a Class 2 MicroSD in the mobile which made problems
  storing the images fast enough. So that got replaced by a Class 10 or U1 which
  solved the problem.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Then on to fix the GPS reception problem with the Galaxy S4 in its cage. Reviving the years old
  Wintec WBT 201 or better known as G Rays 2. Pairing that with the mobile and using the developer
  mode of the Android and Blueooth GPS feeds the GPS informations to the mobile.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Now you need to turn off all &quot;no shoot conditions&quot; in the Mapillary app. Tilt, Shake, Face Down, Move too slow
  etc as the cage rattles a little so the app will basically NEVER shoot an image.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The problem left is that some images are upside down or rotated as the sensor said i was holding
  the camera upside down. Typically i delete those images but the App is not really user friendly
  in reviewing 1-2K images a day.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://f.zz.de/media/201508211217.mapillary_setup_redesign.IMG_20150818_190334_small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://f.zz.de/posts/201508211217.mapillary_setup_redesign/640x-201508211217.mapillary_setup_redesign.IMG_20150818_190334_small.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; class=&quot;img&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

  	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://geohipster.com/2015/04/27/gary-gale-dear-osm-its-time-to-get-your-finger-out/&quot;&gt;Gary Gale has a nice writeup about the OSMs ODbL&lt;/a&gt;
  and how he thinks this harms business adoption.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I replied to his statements which i fully support.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Share Alike is a protective term. But it protects the wrong values in
  the context of OSM.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The value of Openstreetmap in my eyes is not its data. Its the community
  producing a steady stream of changes, additions and corrections. The tools
  around the OSM ecosystem making it possible even for non geo-data-nerds to
  process their own data and produce nice and astonishing results.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Imaging we would have licensed our data as CC0/PD. The big corps came and
  &quot;stole&quot; our data and merged them with their dataset and would not give back
  anything. They would have cut off themselves from the real values of OSM - the
  community. So misbehaviour would have backslashed on the comsumers of the OSM
  data.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Now lets look at the current situation. We have the ODbL and the Contributor
  Terms. Both are complex designed legal texts which are not easily
  understandable as one can see from the discussions on the various mailinglists.
  We have ongoing discussions about produced and derived works and their
  licensing. If in doubt businesses try to avoid getting near any of those
  complex legal issues.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I know this from my own professional life. 80% of my time is Openstreetmap. I
  I do infrastructure analysis based on and use OSM as a basemap but i avoid any
  legal issues by keeping all derived data to myself. I do not hand out osm
  derived data to clients.&lt;/p&gt;

  	<content type="html" xml:lang="en">
  	&lt;p&gt;OSM Ostwestfalen-Lippe hat einen eigenen OSM Tracker. Nach die Stadt Bielefeld
  geäussert hat das sie ein Interesse daran haben OSM für den neuen Stadtplan
  der Stadt zu benutzen gab es Gespräche bezüglich der Ideen der Stadt.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Als ein Problem ist erkannt worden das noch teile Bielefelds natürlich noch
  aus Bing/GPS Track zeiten stammen und in der Lagegenauigkeit durchaus
  Verbesserungspotential bieten.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wir als Openstreetmap Ostwestfalen-Lippe haben uns überlegt dann das
  Stadtgebiet Bielefelds systematisch mit dem NRW ALK und Luftbildern/DOP
  abzugleichen und die großen Lageungenauigkeiten zu beseitigen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Dafür gibt es in unserem OSM Task Manager jetzt ein Projekt:&lt;/p&gt;

  Spannenderweise befinden sich einige der &quot;Kaputten&quot; auf meinem weg zur Arbeit.
  Ich kann bestätigen das die Bahn seit Jahren sich in Rheda-Wiedenbrück nur
  damit hervortut zu behaupten die Brücken seien in Ordnung. Das ganze geht so
  weit das die Stadt schon darüber nachdenkt an einigen Brückenbauwerken selber
  hand anzulegen. In Gütersloh war letztes Jahr mehrfach eine Brücke gesperrt
  weil Beton auf die Straße bröselte.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Es wird halt auf Verschleiss gefahren bis der Bund nicht anders kann als der

  	&lt;p&gt;Eigentlich will ich nur PDFs mit Vectorkarten haben die man schön auf
  A0 oder so Drucken kann. Gleich mit Overlays die ich selber bestimmen
  kann. Also - aus dem maposmatic Projekt das ocitysmap besorgt und versuchen
  ans laufen zu bringen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Erstmal - Grosses lob an die Anleitung - die ist wirklich super.
  Nur die einzelnen bestandteile sind - bescheiden.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mapnik git head gebaut - triggered eine null pointer exception im cairo.
  Grumpf - Also die empfohlene Mapnik version aus dem git gebaut. Die
  weigert sich zu laufen weil sie das plugin fuer shapes nicht findet
  (Das ist fuer die Coastlines etc).&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Na dann bauen wir halt das sid mapnik 2.2 paket fuer wheezy. mapnik
  bauen dauer hier mal locker eine Stunde - Ein Projekt aus der C++ Hölle.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Also mal schnell da ein JOBS=12 dranwerfen damit das heute noch was wird.&lt;/p&gt;

  	&lt;p&gt;Ich hatte es ja von Tag 1 an gesagt das ich die ODbL fuer komplett kaputt halte und man
  bitte einfach eine CC0 oder Public Domain Lizenz nehmen möge. Geodaten sind eine ganz
  andere Baustelle und GPL bzw &quot;Share Alike&quot; funktioniert da einfach nicht.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;MapBox - mittlerweile einer der groesseren GeoDaten Firmen die im OSM Kosmos entstanden
  sind sieht jetzt auch das Problem kommen:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;
  From: Alex Barth &lt;a href=&quot;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#105;&amp;#108;&amp;#116;&amp;#111;&amp;#58;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#120;&amp;#64;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#112;&amp;#98;&amp;#111;&amp;#120;&amp;#46;&amp;#99;&amp;#111;&amp;#109;&quot;&gt;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#120;&amp;#64;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#112;&amp;#98;&amp;#111;&amp;#120;&amp;#46;&amp;#99;&amp;#111;&amp;#109;&lt;/a&gt;
  Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 17:56:13 -0700
  To: &quot;Licensing and other legal discussions.&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#105;&amp;#108;&amp;#116;&amp;#111;&amp;#58;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#103;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#45;&amp;#116;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#107;&amp;#64;&amp;#111;&amp;#112;&amp;#101;&amp;#110;&amp;#115;&amp;#116;&amp;#114;&amp;#101;&amp;#101;&amp;#116;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#112;&amp;#46;&amp;#111;&amp;#114;&amp;#103;&quot;&gt;&amp;#108;&amp;#101;&amp;#103;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#45;&amp;#116;&amp;#97;&amp;#108;&amp;#107;&amp;#64;&amp;#111;&amp;#112;&amp;#101;&amp;#110;&amp;#115;&amp;#116;&amp;#114;&amp;#101;&amp;#101;&amp;#116;&amp;#109;&amp;#97;&amp;#112;&amp;#46;&amp;#111;&amp;#114;&amp;#103;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;With two State of the Map conferences coming up now and plenty of
  opportunities for face time, I&#39;d like to restart our conversation around
  clarifying the ODbL&#39;s implications for geocoding and get to a result. Over
  here at MapBox we&#39;re hoping to use OpenStreetMap soon as much as possible
  for geocoding (right now we don&#39;t) and we&#39;d like to do this on firm legal
  ground. I know that others have raised similar questions in the past [1].&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;To quickly recap: the ODbL is unclear on whether or not its share alike
  stipulations extend to a dataset that is geocoded by a geocoder that is
  powered by ODbL data. So, if I use Nominatim or MapQuest Open&#39;s geocoder
  and geocode my vacation trip, schools in Kenya or BestBuy&#39;s store fronts,
  would my vacation trip, schools in Kenya or BestBuy&#39;s store fronts need to
  be licensed under the ODbL?&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Over the past months, we&#39;ve tried to get legal advice on this question.
  This is difficult as the lack of existing case law makes it hard to get
  official legal opinion on the document and the license is very complex. But
  here is what we have heard back informally:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Geocoding can be interpreted as Produced Work per the defintion of
  Produced Work in the ODbL [2].&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The ODbL is too vague in the definition of its terms, requiring
  additional clarifications by licensor. This is most importantly the case
  around the terms &quot;derivative database&quot; and what constitutes a &quot;substantial&quot;
  extraction of data [3].&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ol&gt;


  &lt;p&gt;This is the gist of two different opinions and obviously they are somewhat
  conflicting. (2) is particularly an issue as the publicized guidelines [4]
  do not include clarifications on Geocoding.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;To start this process at a concrete point, I&#39;d like to suggest to adopt to
  following terminology as part of the Community Guidelines [4]:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Geocoding&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Geocoding results in a Produced Work, as that term is defined in the
  ODbL. Section 4.5 provides that a Produced Work is not subject to the
  share-alike provisions of Section 4.4 of the ODbL.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;This would broadly clarify that databases geocoded with OSM data would not
  have to be licensed under ODbL, the share alike provisions would not apply.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;From a political standpoint, I think this is a key move for OpenStreetMap.
  The project needs a strong incentive to build up its most lacking asset -
  addressing. As long as it&#39;s not clear that addresses in OSM can actually be
  used reasonably this incentive will be missing. That&#39;s particularly an
  issue for businesses and organizations where buying whole sale into the
  ODbL is just not an option because of strategic considerations but much
  more often because of the complexity of ownership situations on typical
  databases. Further, ODbL is not just incompatible with less open licenses
  but also with more open licenses (e. g. public domain).&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;For the upcoming State of the Map US I&#39;d like to invite attendees to a
  Birds of a Feather round table to discuss these aspects. I&#39;m particularly
  interested in finding out how we can take a decision on this question and
  update the community guideline accordingly over the next month to three
  months. I (and others?) will be posting summaries of the discussion here.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Suggested date and time for the State of the Map US session: Saturday, June
  8, 5PM Pacific - &lt;strong&gt;look out for confirmation on the white board&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Please also post your comments here on the thread.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Alex

  	&lt;p&gt;Die schwachsinnige Lizenzumstellung bei &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org&quot;&gt;OSM&lt;/a&gt; ist im vollen gange. Wie ich ja schon mehrfach schrieb halte ich die für unnötig und schädlich und im gegensatz zu dem wofür OSM mal gestanden hat. Jetzt hat der OSM Redaction Bot der für die bereinigung der Daten zuständig ist angefangen hier in der Region objekte zu entfernen die von nichtzustimmern in der Datenbank sind. Damit ist Herzebrock von der Bildfläche verschwunden und Routing über die B64 ist mal vorbei ...&lt;/p&gt;
