No doubt simple problem with Geocoding
by Andrew McHugh 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi all, I'm trying to use the Maps/Semantic Maps extensions to Mediawiki primarily to evaluate them prior to deployment in a research application I'm planning. However, right from the off I've struck a problem. I can't seem to get Geocoding to work, and I wonder if anyone can help. {{#geocode:Edinburgh}} returns nothing at all {{#display_map:Edinburgh}} complains that "The value edinburgh is not valid for parameter coordinates.", displaying a map over the Atlantic Ocean, whereas... {{#display_map:55.952242,-3.187337}} displays correctly. I'm using the latest 0.65 bundled version of Maps and Semantic maps, with google (although none of the other maps/geocoding service combinations work either). I am coming from behind an institutional proxy so wondered if this might be a factor. I hope this is an obvious one to solve, since I am really excited about using these extensions. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, Andrew -- Mr Andrew McHugh LLB(Hons) MSc Innovative Research & Development Manager HATII 11 University Gardens University of Glasgow G12 8QJ Tel: +44 (0)141 330 2675 Email: a.mchugh(a)hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk Website: http://www.planets-project.eu/

Hi, I put a little work in my access map and created some new styles for quality assurance. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, so the drawing scheme is down to six colours and two line types: http://access.t-i.ch/qa-map.html Each of the different (most important) means of transport has its own layer in which *only* explicit acces-Keys (e.g. bicycle=*) are rendered. The second map uses inheritance according to the following tree: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/3/3b/Access_hierarchy_simple.png http://access.t-i.ch/qai-map.html AFAIK it's the first map to draw, what routing algorithms already should rely on. I belive that this map will increase the quality of routing information in OSM and therefore enhance OSM a lot. Unfortunately, the result is 17 different styles, but they should not change much in the future. (Hopefully, they don't change at all!) :) The Styles for the first map are: /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-access.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-foot.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-horse.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-vehicle.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-bicycle.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-motor_vehicle.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-motorcycle.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-motorcar.xml /home/ti/styles/qa/qa-hgv.xml The styles for the second map are: /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-foot.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-horse.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-vehicle.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-bicycle.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-motor_vehicle.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-motorcycle.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-motorcar.xml /home/ti/styles/qai/qai-hgv.xml @Peter: I have deleted the old access.xml and bicycle.xml because they are integrated into this new structure. I don't know yet if there will be other *_combined-styles; for the moment bicycle_combined is unchanged. As soon as the styles are rendered, I will post it on the international list. Thanks again, Thomas

Hi. Yesterday I found some time to work on my MTB-Layer. In this first step I tried to copy the mtb:scale and the mtb:scale:uphill from the OpenMtbMap(http://openmtbmap.org/about-2/map-legend/) with the following style. With the graphics beside the ways it is possible to show the layer on all maps. It would be very nice if you can render this style for a first area, e.g. Ba-Wü or complete Germany. Style: /home/godofglow/osm/mtb.xml And the graphics: /home/godofglow/osm/Icon/ What I have to do if I will update the style? Thanks! Thomas
