Two productive days - so many ways of doing stuff in OSM

Excellent. Whole point of NPE trace is to hope that someone will eventually go there and tweak it with GPS data. It will be interesting to see how the refining looks. If you get a chance take a before screengrab, and an after, and post on wiki somewhere, so folk can see the benefits. Let me know the area sometime.

New Chico, CA Mapper

If you tag as railway=abandoned and highway=cycleway mapnik slippy map will render the cycle way only (which is what you see on ground). The filter says if it is tagegd as highway='anything' then render as such, else render as a dotted line (for abandoned, which will still be visible).

Wye Valley, Tintern, Chepstow

Donald,
Some of the NPE stuff to west of Wye has been done by me (visiting in-laws, who live in Devauden). Local knowledge telling me for instance that woods still exist. However, boundaries not surveyed, and subject to change when someone finds this out. That is one of beauties of OSM collaborative mapping approach. The footpaths and roads I have done I am reasonably confident of, having GPS traces of many and having walked/driven them too. Agreed it is a beautiful area, and yes, much to do still.

Sevilla Center

Pedro
It is me (with family) that Ivan mentions - we discussed on IRC tonight. Will be in Sevilla 25-29th Oct, seeing my son who is doing a year at Uni there. Having looked at map had planned to do some street naming, and maybe even get some more gpx traces for some roads. Would be happy to meet up if you wanted - for a beer and a chat, or even to collaborate on some mapping.

Three days, three places

Yep that is the place. Desperate. You might have noticed that Welshie and someone else had gone down the road and passed it by too! Can't imagine how you came to be down there, as it is a no-thru. I am guessing you came over the little footbridge between the allotments (all mapped now btw).

Some updates in Cumbria

Dave (or Mr Emtb),
I did a lot of NPE tracing of streams in Wales and recently moved to starting on Lakes. Happy to cooperate on adding detail there if you want. I made a start from where NPE coverage starts near Grange over Sands and was planning to move in clockwise direction from there. Feel from to get in touch (thru page at user:steve8)

Newbie

Excellent. Take a look sometime tommorow afternoon. The mapnik layer gets re-rendered each Wednesday, but it takes most of day to plough through all the tiles.

Happy birthday Potlatch

Hey that is cool, and I for one have enjoyed using it, especially since you introduced the various layers/backgrounds. So, many thanks for all the hours spent, and heres to many more!

Poaching in Ratingen

Disappointed that your title wasn't a reference to someone taking game illicitly.

Another area of Birmingham knocked off

Presume you will be changing the name to Tom (as in Peeping) .....

Half a million GPX points

Hey, thanks for that. I must get out more!

Half a million GPX points

As a matter of interest how are you doing your GPX sums?

Started Mapping :)

Welcome to the project! The long wait for uploads is not normal, although it does tend to happen Sunday evening's when folk upload their weekend's tracks.
You don't have to wait for a track to be processed in order to map it - if you're using JOSM then you can load it in locally and if you're using Potlatch you can click on the edit link beside the track to load it straight into Potlatch.

More roads around Ynstawe

I have used waterway=canal bridge=yes and have added it to the mapnik render, as at: osm.org/?lat=51.68289&lon=-0.05455&zoom=17&layers=B0FT which actually shows a short section of tunnel too.

Birmingham mapping party

Look after them notes better, hippy!

UK canal progress map

Thanks for pointing this out! Now rectified and all Scottish canals included.

Worcester

When you go - can you resolve two main road queries? What is status of Croft Rd/Castle St? I went along it but didn't note signs. Is it red or green (rest are green). Also status of A38 in centre? Logically it can't just drop off at Sansome St.

Worcester

Will try to do my edits tonight, certainly before next planet dump on Wed. I got a trace of the A38 out to the B&B at end of day and some more minor road traces on my way to Stratford. Found "Cartographical Surveys Ltd" that I came across - on the web at: http://www.tsa-uk.org.uk/Cartographical%20Surveys%20Ltd.htm. Click the link to go to a truly horrendously old-fashioned website, with suitably poor location map.

Work in progress

Brilliant! Thanks for all your efforts on making Potlatch as usable as it is now. I don't know where you get the energy levels for the work. Cheers

Turnford and Cheshunt

On Saturday I did the framework of the sector to the North and West of the B156 towards Goffs Oak. Will fill in detail next time out.
