Well yes I think I identified all of it. Unfortunatly some Agents are that general that I called the authors of the wrong apps. But hey, thats life ;)

As you can read in my introduction, this was the reason for this report ;)

Hallo Rainer,

dann doch gleich noch mal ein "herzlich willkommen" :)
Hmm ja office dürfte da wohl passen. Ich kenne mich da nicht wirklich mit diesem Speziellen Club aus,denke aber das es in dem Sinne ja kein öffentliches Gebäude darstellt, oder?
Also auf jeden Fall kann man name=* und gerne auch opperator=* setzen.

Falls du aber nur die Sachen auf OSM darstellen willst, kannst du die einfach in eine KML Datei packen und mir OpenLayers als zusätzliche Schicht darstellen

The Idea is quite good Gnonthgol. Unfortunatly different aspects of a navigation app (rendering, routing, navigation, ...) have to make use of different optimized data structures, as well. So it's difficult to solve all this with just one try. And of course the most of our developers are already involved in a lot of projects....

There are already thoughts in doing offline vector rendering or to deploy only vector tiles. But it's not that simple...

With this post I tried to adress the current (and maybe again upcomming) problem that some Apps use the tiles servers in an heavy way. So I tried to make the bad ratios visible and to contact authors. The first easy step is to check if the tool fullfils our policy and maybe to switch to another tile provider. Nobody says you shouldn't use OSM tiles anymore, the opposite is the case :)

Ah ok, that was how I explained it to myself. So I was right ;)

BTW some OpenSource tools are effected as well:

Please have a look at the data itself, to get the absolute values. But as noted above, the total traffic number has fallen at 2/3.

This allows you to check the browsers, too. But I was suprized that there is no string for MS Internet explorer. But I'm not a web expert ;)

Well indeed some apps already ship an email adress with the agent. And some are clever and use a central config file, so they can change the servers without any big update process.

I contacted all #Top 20 authors.

Yes this is what I expected, cause this part seemed to be to much.

Ok I did some visualisations, maybe that this will help for discussions @!i!/diary/15190

Sorry was my fault :(

Hey hallo Harald!
Also einen richtigen Stammtisch oder sowas scheint es in Spanien noch nicht zu geben... http://usergroups.openstreetmap.de
Frag sonst mal im Forum oder auf der spanischen Mailingliste, die Blogs werden nicht unbedingt von allen gelesen.

Anybody willing to create some nice charts, so we all can see the trends?

Da muss ich das mal wett machen, was der frische Troll angerichtet hat.

Also erst mal herzlich willkommen bei OSM.

Du kannst Vektordaten als Shapefile bekommen, die man mit GIS Programmen wie QGIS laden kann. Eine ganze Europakarte wird deinen Rechner aber sehr belasten.

PDFs oder SVGs kann man auch hier erstellen:

Great, might you show us a screenshot of the current state?
