Bicycle-Layer updated
by Thomas Ineichen 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hi there, I updated my bicycle-layer: http://toolserver.org/~ti/map.png slow-speed-areas: - highway=living_street OR maxspeed<=30 get a lime background access restrictions: - forbidden ways are rendered in red, allowed ways in green and designated ways in blue - oneway-streets with two-way traffic for cyclists are rendered with turquoise dots - motorroad=yes/no is rendered with red/green squares surface: - paved/asphalt/cobblestone/paving_stones/concrete: thin black line - unpaved/compacted/pebblestone/wood: thin white line - gravel/ground/grass/dirt/sand/earth: thin red line The style-file can be found at the old location: /home/ti/styles/bicycle_combined.xml Secondly, I'd like to renew my request for rendering the access-styles in /styles/qa/ and /styles/qai/ that would help to improve routing in OSM. Regards, Thomas

See the difference here: I updated the bw-mapnik style, copying the service-highway and power changes. I also added bw-noicons and put z0-6 into the background queue. The new style can be accessed as usual: <http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=2&lat=0&lon=-0.35156&layers=0000F0F…> Peter

Unifont is a Bitmap-Font which makes it look not so nice, but it contains all characters of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane which makes it perfect as a fallaback. > Visually the DejaVu looks more solid (IMHO), why is it that original mapnik > has no problems in rendering worldwide with them instead of unifont?

Finally: A black&white base layer
by Kay Drangmeister 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi Finally, I found some time to set up a base layer in greyscale. I did this by automatically converting the original mapnik style and all icons. http://picpaste.com/pics/mapbw.1287869339.png There are some caveats: the style is named osm.xml and refers to ./inc and ./style which contain different (i.e. b&w files) than the original mapnik. I don't know if this is incompatible to the way all the layers are bound into Tirex, please tell me so. The style can be found here (on willow): /home/kayd/workspace/parking/mapnik/bw-mapnik I'd very much like to see it included as a base layer here: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/ I'd like to hear about your opinion: would you rather like a b&w base layer that's identical to current mapnik, or should it omit most of the icons (shops, etc.)? Or is both needed? Main uses would be IMHO the bicycle overlay (which looks a bit lost with the colorful mapnik base layer) and similar layers. Kind regards, Kay

Reordering of styles on the rendering system
by Peter Körner 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hi all As mentioned before I moved all styles currently rendered to the p_osm repository [1]. Each style contains at least a CONTACT file with the toolserver-email-address of the creator. If you wish to place a LICENSE-file in the directory of your style, please mail me. Updates to a style need to be sent to this list (not necessarily patches but also complete folders to copy over) This is done to guarantee a stable running tirex. I apologize for possible inconveniences. Peter [1] <http://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/p_osm/styles/>

Old mapnik
by Kay Drangmeister 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hi, I am trying to update my parking layer, as well to create (it really is about time) a b&w-style base layer (maybe more than one). I started by building from the existing official mapnik style. But the official mapnik style is now dependent on mapnik 0.7.1. I have not been able to determine the existing mapnik on nightshade, but is from 2008-08. Could you please update mapnik on nightshade (or suggest a different server) to the currently required version of mapnik, so that the official styles can be rendered? Thanks, Kay

PHP library for geographical entities
by Jeroen De Dauw 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hey, I'm looking for a PHP librarie that contains classes to represent geographical entities such as points, area's, routes, ect. It'd be used in the Maps extension to handle the logic between wikitext and mapping service JavaScript (and other output). I can go write this myself, but being able to use a library would be a lot more convenient. Anyone on this list know of such a library, or how I might find one? Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw * http://blog.bn2vs.com * http://wiki.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. 50 72 6F 67 72 61 6D 6D 69 6E 67 20 34 20 6C 69 66 65! --

OSM-Gadget in german Wikipedia
by Tim Alder 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello, we will try to activate tomorrow evening the OSM-Gadget[1] for all readers in german Wikipedia, so it can be that we get a higher load on Server Ptolemy. Greetings Kolossos [1]<http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?lang=de&params=52.…> German documentation of OSM-Gadget with screenshots: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/OSM-Ga…

FYI: Tiles rendering for Geohack
by Tim Alder 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hello, perhaps somebody see or feel that we have now a higher load on Server Ptolemy[1], the reason is that we render and deliver since 2 days the tiles for the small map inside german Geohack[2]. So we want try to reduce the load to openstreetmap.org servers and want to optimize our own rendering process. (In the moment we have a fallback to tiles from openstreetmap.org if we are not able to deliver tiles in 5 secondes.) The later plan is to go live with tools like the OSM-Gadget[3] for every user in the german Wikipedia (Without killing the OSM-Servers!!!). I hope we can do this step in nearly a month. With this experience I think we can than better force the usage of interactive maps directly inside articles.(Extension:Maps) Greetings Kolossos [1]<http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/index.html> [2]<http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin&language=de&para…> [3]<http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?lang=de&params=52.…> German documentation of OSM-Gadget with screenshots: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/OSM-Ga…
