relation only containing relations does not get rendered

Posted by katpatuka on 3 July 2009 in English.

As I'm working on rivers and their basins I thought I might try to just add child relations to a parent relation - but it did not render!

Example:
Take Lena river,
1. make a relation for the whole length of the river
2. find some tributaries (Vitim, Kirenga, Olyokma) and repeat step 1
3. make a river basin relation and add relations Lena, Vitim, Kirenga, Olyokma
4. test it

It did not render. It only renders when adding all single ways of all rivers (1).

Чулым (Chulym) river relation added

Posted by katpatuka on 30 June 2009 in English.

Finished the Ob tributary Chulym/Чулым osm-relation, made a screenshot using OSM Relation Analyzer, uploaded it to wikipedia commons and updated Russian wikipedia [[Чулым (приток Оби)]] - another OpenStreetmap Map on wikipedia ;-)

relation for Lanxin railway (Lanzhou-Xinjiang) added

Posted by katpatuka on 26 June 2009 in English.

Added relation for Lanxin railway from Lanzhou to the border of Kazakhstan.

Now I'd like to have a nice topo background a la google terrain showing the rendered rail and upload it to wikipedia - but the result of http://betaplace.emaitie.de/webapps.relation-analyzer/osm.jsp?relationId=163418 doesn't looks very promising if you zoom out and choose CycleMap to display the map...

Such a osm-service is still missing and would be very good: something which would be worth to upload to wikipedia. If relations have a smaller diameter the CycleMap can produce some nice looking map (if the region is covered) but for more than 1000 km distance there is nothing appropriate...

Added boundaries of Hulunbuir division of Inner Mongolia

Posted by katpatuka on 21 June 2009 in English.

I've added boundaries of Hulunbuir division of Inner Mongolia using the shape file at maplibrary.org. I'm not quite sure about some of the districts though... hopefully a chinese osm'er will have a look ;-)

Wikiproject Rivers

Posted by katpatuka on 15 June 2009 in English.

I started to create relations for rivers and opened [[Wikiproject Rivers]]. Added relations are for example Svapa and Seym(1) as well as Desna. I'm not sure how one could add a hierachical system to show the basin system of rivers: for Dnieper one would have to add all sub-relations of tributaries like Desna (1. sub-level), Seym (2. sub-level), Svapa (3. sub-level) and so on...

Ideas are welcome ;-)

Sorry - the connection to the OpenStreetMap server failed.
Any recent changes have not been saved.

Would you like to try again ? Retry | Cancel

Clicking Retry does not reveal anything but when I refeshed the page there was no error anymore and the last edited way shows up correctly...

And then another error:

An unusual error happened (in 'pulway'-33). The server said: Precondition failed: the node with id -681 either does not exist or is not visible.

Please email richard bla bla...

What the hack does that mean?!?

If you have edited a long time on a way without being sure that at least some part of your way has been saved from time to time all your edit might be lost!!
