Please revert that import or ask someone to revert for you. Geonames are "tainted" and should not be imported to OSM. This is very sad that you spent so much time with this, but for the greater good this import is not good. :-(

osm.wiki/Geonames

But I guess Geonames themselves would highly appreciatee such contribution to their data.

Now that is a lot of spam.

Are the legal issues cleared? There is not only a huge privacy problem but the students also need to agree with the license used for tracks here at OSM.

The mapsurfer colours are wonderful (apart from footways). If only the official OSM map looked like this.

I think Paul Johnson would like the official tiles. I'd prefer that too, your server is slow for me.

Tomorrow: mapped the World. :-)

Where did you get the coordinates from?

Even by "just" using OSM and spreading the love you immensely help this project. It's great to hear from a random normal ;-) person how OSM makes them happy.

Long live contributors!

Welcome aboard and nice of you to join. :-)

Hi, I really cannot help you further. I despise Google and thus will not even try to understand how their map stuff works. You should find examples about setting markers in the OpenLayers documentation if you decide to go that route.

Forgot mention, you can switch the data by clicking on the + sign on the far right.

Ah, now I seem to understand. You want to use http://convivial-web.com/blog/2009/01/openstreetmapmapplet.html for a public Google map so your visitors can choose to use the OpenStreetMap?
I am afraid that is not possible (I do not use Google so I might be wrong).

It would be not too hard to do using OpenLayers. OpenLayers is an open-source online map application (just like Google Maps). You can choose what maps it displays and allow users to switch between them. Check out http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials-spherical-mercator.html as example of Google Maps AND OpenStreetMap data.

Elaborate if you really want help.

This guy looks like a spam bot.

This works well: mplayer -demuxer lavf

Nice talk.

I only had black video in mplayer, but skipping forward a bit fixed it (magick!).

Black video with audio is here: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/wikimania/dia2/video-c/200908271206-Bjarmason-Open_StreetMap_integration_into_Wikimedia_projects.ogg

Kuck dir mal osm.wiki/Api an.

This is really really good. Great fun too.

Is "Can't tell" the proper one to use if one does not know or does not mind, so one wants to just "skip"?

Are the Yahoo tiles always most zoomed in?
