Restrictions and Routing

Sorry for my edit! You may delete it at any time!

Restrictions and Routing

Keep it simple and stupid! Two separate lanes are easier to evaluate than turn restrictions, e.g. if you add a directional maxspeed!

Project of the Week Pitch Problems

leisure=pitch is not well-known English.
leisure=field would be better.

Routing a local path near San Francisco

The length of this relation would be 10.6 km only _if_ it was on sea level. However, you have to add about 2400 feet or 800 m for climbing up and down.

Naming passes seems difficult...

Good question!

First, ref=ABC is a tag for abbreviations. Maybe it needs to be added manually on the advanced tab.

Second, short segments with another name like Muir Pass should be added to a long distance trail RELATION. The Pacific Crest Trail relation (1225378) already exists, so you can give short ways within that relation another name.

The relation (visible on the advanced tab) indicates that this way is already part of a dong distance path, so you don't need to add this name on every segment!

Wanderlust Hostel in Floersheim / direkt an R3 / Mainradweg

Netter Werbeversuch, aber Weblinks funktionieren nur, wenn sie direkt in die Karte eingetragen werden. Dieser Blog ist für Suchmaschinen nicht zugänglich!

Better Bing imagery for East Timor?

I've pressed the Agree button on the CTs

Good idea! Nearmap has agreed to publish data which was created before June 2011 under ODbL, so there is no problem with nearmap.

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) uses OSM maps

No, it's derived from Google Maps and copyrighted like all other FAZ maps!

What's the point of all the TIGER tags?

- tiger:separated indicates whether it is a divided road.
- If all roads in North America were reviewed manually, TIGER tags would be unnecessary.
- If no roads in North America was reviewed manually, TIGER tags would be necessary in order to import a newer version.
- Given that a small part of North American roads was reviewed manually, it is technically impossible to update TIGER automatically.

Is it ok to add a 'highway = track' tag to pistes?

highway=track : suited for jeeps (please add motorcar=no if driving is not allowed)
highway=bridleway : suited for horses
highway=path : suited (only) for hiking and MTB

This tagging has impacts on emergeny routing. A doctor's jeep will be adviced to use tracks whereas it can't use paths. A doctor might need to use a motorbike or helicopter if he wants to reach a victim on a path.

Bisschen viel Aufwand für eine nichtexistente Stadt:

First dive: Street naming with Bing

Maps: don't use them
Aerial images: use them only as backgrund for your own drawing (=tracing)
Streetview: don't use them, just use your own memory

Road to Inner Peace

Please convince as many decliners as possible to accept the new licence. That would be a great proof for the effectiveness of Spiritual Healing.

Die Knotenpunkte sind vor allem entstanden, weil jemand mit einem GPS-Gerät über die Landstraße gefahren ist und in jeder Sekunde einen Punkt aufgezeichnet hat. Später sind dann die Kreuzungen mit den Seitenstraßen hinzugekommen und die alten Knotenpunkte machen kaum noch Sinn.

Wenn die Punkte keine Gerade, sondern eine "feine Kurve" bilden, dann sollte man diese Punkte natürlich nicht löschen. Ansonsten geht es bei diesen Punkten lediglich um die persönliche Statistik.

Der _eigene_ GPS-Track ist übrigens nicht automatisch die beste Geodatenquelle, sondern kann auch mal 10-20 Meter neben der Straße liegen.

What constitutes a track ?

For routing purposes, tracks have a default setting
motorcar=no
motorcycle=no

If motoring is explicitly permitted (though not recommendable due to bad surface) on this track, please add
motorcar=yes
motorcycle=yes

How do I correct my wrong tags?

Use XAPI or JXAPI to download all data tagged with "no_exit", then change them with JOSM to "noexit" and upload them again.

JOSM und XAPI sind nicht wirklich einfach, aber erlernbar!

I could not agree more with you! Maybe we should publicly confirm to woodpeck and his whole License Working Group that we will never restore any once deleted road.

If their mailbox is flooded with messages declining additional work for their license change, they will start thinking before they delete any data!
