Google goes to zoomlevel 19, mapnik to 18 and osmarender to 17.

This is a configuration on the server. But adding an extra zoomlevel doubles the space needed to store the tiles.
I don't know if the server got extra space, but it would be worth it. The speed of rendering is so fast today that i doubt it would be considered slow if we add another zoomlevel.

I hope that we one day could offer the most resolution of any map on the internet.

Great game but needs attribution.

This has been discussed lightly before.
The simple rule of thumb is that you can map addresses of houses (those are usually available from other maps as well), and businesses witch receive customers at that site. Do not start mapping phone numbers or names of the inhabitants.

As for the ID. Some people have made custom IDs witch states that they are mapping for OSM and what OSM is. But there is no officially issued IDs. A custom ID is preferred if you are afraid of getting in trouble for mapping.

And if he is a member of a gun club he should be familiar with what the law says about shooting other humans. Guns are effective because they are scary, not because they can kill.

The GPS traces are only shown to editors. If you wish to see the trace and draw the road on the map you have to go to the "Edit" tab and click "Show GPS traces (G)".

And now there are three.

Det er alltid kjekt å hjelpe til. For øvrig bruker eg http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=14&lat=58.50912&lon=5.82061&layers=B00000TFFFFF til å finne ut kvar det manglar detaljer.
Dersom du har lyst å bli meir engasjert i diskusjonar kan du sjå på maillista til kartgruppa i nuug.no

Dette ser jo ganske bra ut. Eg trur nesten Sirevåg er ein av dei mest komplette plassane i Norge. Men då snakkar eg om sentrum. Ser du litt utanfor sentrum er det mange vassdrag som ikkje er kartlagt. Men desse er lett å legge inn fra Landsat. Stå på, det ser bra ut.

The pentagram is a natural occurring symbol. It is not hard to imagine why the paths are in the shape of a pentagon. Anywhere you have five nodes connected in every way you have a pentagram.
And about the Masonic square and compass, in the late medieval every mason had to be member of the freemasons to get a job. You don't think it is a conspiracy when you see all cab drivers are connected the same organization?

Unlike OSM wikipedia uses the "Don't care about where it comes from" approach to data gathering. There are no "source" tag on wikipedia as there is in OSM. Images are usually user work or derived from a number of sources that a user has made his own work.
I think some license laws permits uses of a small part of data in derived works as long as it is not a vital part of the derived work. This does not apply to map data as every part is a vital part.

I got half a commit rendered. Took 30sec for mapnik to rerender after the commit.

Wow, this looks amazing. Just make sure it does not hit performance to much.
Deploy asap.

Ideas for improvment:
Icons on ways as well.
It would be nice to see what way(s) a node belongs to on the same page.

A doctor witch have to be public to get clients is ok. But there are personal businesses witch do not get their clients by advertising, like an engineer or some lawers office. Here we should not import the name to osm.

Are you sure you are opening the xml file in UTF-8?
See if you find an option to specify the file encoding and select UTF-8.

1. Download the right gmapsup.img file osm.wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
2. Connect your GPS and put it in mass storage mode osm.wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Mass_Storage_Mode
3. Rename/move the exsisting gmapsup.img file on the device as backup
4. Copy the new gmapsup.img file to your device where your old file was before you renamed it

The file layout on the device is just like before you started, but the gmapsup.img file contains the osm map. The name of the file is important.

It could take some minutes to process the trace. Just wait for the confirmation e-mail.
