Just the stuff I did last week

Posted by Hans van Wijk on 17 September 2008 in English.

I created a lot more detail in lakes/ponds and wood patches, added a lot of streams, added a hiking trail and an important cyclepath. A couple of buildings, both residential and industrial.

I also still struggle with one multipolygon. It's only one, the others are rendered fine in both osmarender and mapnik. I have no clue to what's the reason for this, but it clearly is faulty somewhere. Both engines have trouble with it. Maybe I just have to start over again sometime.

Overall I think it's starting to look very nice in and around Ankeveen. I remember somebody writing that in the Netherlands the features are very densly packed and Ankeveen is absolutely no exeption, but precisely that fact makes it nice to look at and to work on in my opinion.

I also now am stepping out more and more of the Ankeveen area and moved on to the neighbouring villages.

I tried for hours to get We-travel to work on my PDA (HP ipaq 4700hx with Wondows Mobile 2003), but apparently you'll need a java engine installed first, but that, so far, did not work out. I've tried several freeware JVM's, but I was not able yet to install the jar file. I'm hoping we-travel will work on my next smartphone (HTC Touch pro, which I don't have yet). Or does anyone know of a good site that wil tell me clearly how to go about this on my HP? I really want to try my changes out in navigator sofware.

You could also take a look on Gosmore, osm.wiki/index.php/Gosmore

I too would suggest Gosmore, as it seems there are problems with GPS interfacing on a lot of WM Java implementations. Mine won't let me install Mom for that reason :(

However, the interface for Gosmore isn't exactly slick yet, though some of the functionality is pretty good.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

But this is about the faulty multipolygon: I deleted it yesterday evening completely and started again, but slowly. Only the outer way and one inner way and it showed up correctly this morning. So this is the motivation to build it up slowly again.

Installed Gosmore! It works on the HP 4700HX! I yet have to do some tracking with it, but that'll happen the coming weekend.
