OpenStreetMap Colorado

For those of you in Colorado, or passing through, or just interested; our local community is fantastic! No doubt there was a bit of momentum loss when the Coast's moved to the PNW, and I was totally swamped last summer with our terrible fire season; but we managed to keep rumbling along. JimmyRocks moving here gave a nice boost and we had a great group show up for the Spring Editathon, quite a few new faces have begun to appear including folks from the NPS - can't wait to hear Mamata's talk at SOTM-US - I hope they're contemplating our idea of mapping parties at national parks - let us in free and we'll map ;) - and all the sudden it seems we've got all these great ideas for meetups beyond the norm; we're going to have a SOTM-Denver (basically a recap for those who can't make it to San Fran) and what I'm really excited about, a Map/Camp-ing party later in the summer/fall. Oh, and it was a small but awesome meetup last weekend; the first event with the Coast's back in town, welcome home Hurricane!

We'd love to see more faces, so don't hesitate to join or even if you just want to see what we're up to, visit: http://www.meetup.com/OSM-Colorado/

Cheers - hope to see/meet you at SOTM-US or a Colorado mapping event, =Russ

P.S. Any Utah folks want to plan a (probably very future) Moab Map/Camp-ing party? I love that place and it's been too long since I visited.

La Citadelle de Bitche

The summer quickly was over. Since last (pentecost) sunday temperatures of about 12°C, wind and rain are back. Fortunately I still had a joker for such conditions on stock – a visit of the »Citadelle de Bitche« (official french and german pages, french and german wikipedia articles).

The fortification is based on a natural plateau of sand stone. Most buildings on its top have been destroyed during ww2 except for the basement or foundation walls.

However, many facilities are below the plateau’s level. They have been restored so that the visitors get an impression what it looked like about 145 years ago during the Franco-Prussian war (pictures can be found here and here).

Some mapping did already exist, but mainly as a rough sketch. I tried to improve the situation so that OpenStreetMap now shows more details.

New Lower Thames Crossing

Yesterday the UK government published a consultation on options for a new Thames Crossing close to where I live. The web page is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/options-for-a-new-lower-thames-crossing

Of course, I made straight for the map of the possible routes - all very broad-brush at the moment. What surprised me most was that, despite owning its own mapping agency the Ordnance Survey, the government has used an OSM Mapnik rendering for its base map! Maybe this is a regular occurrence, but it's a first for me.

State of the Map Conference

The early-bird

There's just ten days left in May, and therefore only ten days left to grab yourself a conference ticket at the reduced “Early-bird” price of GBP 60 for a Community ticket, and GBP 240 for a Regular ticket.

 

To get a Community ticket, you will need a OpenStreetMap.org username as this will appear on the ticket. If you don't have an OSM username, or you will be representing a business or organisation you should go for the Regular ticket. Community members are of course free to give extra support to OpenStreetMap by selecting the regular price, in which case you will be able to choose how your name appears on your badge.

 

All proceeds go to the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF). Early-bird prices include a 25% discount so act now and don't miss out.

ШТОСМ

Пора платить по счетам

В навигаторе для андроида OsmAnd строить маршрут можно несколькими алгоритмами. Внутренний только развивается и ограничен 300 километрами, для более длинных поездок нужен интернет. Из нескольких сервисов только Cloudmade выдавал маршрут с указаниями, где поворачивать и сколько ехать. Месяц назад пользователи заметили, что такого варианта больше нет.

После февральского перерождения Cloudmade разослал всем клиентам письма, где сообщал об упрощении тарифов на платные услуги. Виктор со своего аккаунта использовал только бесплатный роутинг, поэтому письмо проигнорировал. Удивлению не было предела, когда 12 апреля аккаунт-менеджер попросила оплатить услуги роутинга за март, полсотни долларов.

Объяснение ситуации таково: «Как видите, у нас нет платных и бесплатных тарифных планов. Мы решили сделать общие тарифы для всех разработчиков. Превысили ограничение на бесплатные запросы — оплатите излишек.» Что за дела, продолжал удивляться Виктор, разве можно заставить пользователя платить, не перезаключая соглашения и без предупреждения? На всякий случай он полностью удалил свой аккаунт. Менеджера это не убедило: «Вы превысили лимит в марте, поэтому пожалуйста, занесите в кассу».

Абсурдность требований очевидна, если представить их исходящими от другой компании. Например, Google разошлёт всем уведомление, что для корпоративных пользователей поиск стал дешевле, а через два месяца выкатит вам счёт за поисковые запросы, потому что теперь все пользователи стали корпоративными. Как отвечать на такое — непонятно, и автор OsmAnd решил замолчать. Cloudmade не давил, вот только 10 мая Виктору пришёл очередной счёт: к мартовскому долгу прибавились запросы за апрель. «Обратите внимание, оплатить счёт нужно в течение 10 дней». Срок истёк вчера, и пока непонятно, чего ожидать от украинцев.

Это не единственное злоключение османда. В прошлом месяце его выпилили из Google Play за нарушение DMCA. Из проекта вышел дизайнер интерфейса, который через некоторое время оказался неудовлетворён своей долей от продаж и подал иск в Google. Стороны как-то договорились, но приложение вернулось в магазин только спустя две недели, уже с новой графикой. Именно поэтому буква «О» у него пожелтела. В последней версии 1.2.1 буква превратилась в оранжевый маркер, но из-за проблем с совместимостью вы могли этого не заметить (на своём планшете, например, я обновить OsmAnd не могу).

Из положительный новостей — Google теперь позволяет участвовать в бета-тестировании приложений. Инструкция для OsmAnd здесь (но у меня гугль пишет ошибку 404). Сейчас там должна быть версия 1.3, целиком из багфиксов (в комментариях Виктор сообщил, что она сегодня вышла, и перечислил нововведения). Значительные же правки пойдут в OsmAnd 1.5, который пока нужно устанавливать вручную. Помимо прочего, в нём заметно поменяется интерфейс навигации.

What I have worked on

-Lowry Park Zoo Tampa, FL - Took GPS tracks of trails and other features in the zoo & the park. A few others have modified and added to my work to make this area really accurate and useful.

-Al Lopez Park - Tampa FL - Took GPS tracks of trails and features. Also add the pavilion / shelter numbers. This map is much more useful than the city maps. Someone could potentially make a great app for one of the cancer walks, or other events they have in the park using this data.

-Other parks in Tampa - McFarland & the Downtown park where the Bro Bowl is.

-Water Features - this is my my largest contribution to the OSM community. From a cartographic perspective, adding more blue onto basemaps makes them look better. I have experimented with several options, and it appears the best way to do this is to start with the SWFWMD LU data and select out the FLUCFCS codes that are water. Then bring this shape into OSM and make them permanent. If anyone would like to help with this enormous undertaking hit me up and I will help get you started. I can provide a zip file of the selected LU. I also plan on doing wetlands.

Headed to San Francisco for State of the Map US

In a little over two weeks many folks on the MapBox team will head to San Francisco for the annual US-based OpenStreetMap conference. We’re gearing up for an interesting and productive trip and are especially looking forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with the 350+ OpenStreetMap users and contributors who will be attending the conference.

With MapBox Streets, our street-level map of the world powered by OpenStreetMap data, we’re invested in improving the map data itself as well as using OpenStreetMap to make beautiful maps. We’ll be talking about our experiences in both areas throughout the conference, and specifically in these sessions:

We’re also participating in several hands on workshops happening on the Friday before the conference (separate registration required). These sessions will walk through OpenStreetMap tools and cartography tricks in greater detail:

We hope these sessions will spark conversations around common experiences and an exchange of ideas. To talk about them or anything about the MapBox stack or what we’re up to, look for our team at the conference and the many social events which we’ll be sure to hit.

State of the Map US is happening on June 8 & 9 in San Francisco. You can check out the full schedule online and registration is still open. See you in San Francisco!

Notes - Bugs vs features

Die Notes sind ein Quell grosser Freude, eine sinnvolle Weiterentwicklung von Openstreetbugs.

Leider wurde die Funktionalität nahezu 1 zu 1 übernommen, sodass die meisten Unzulänglichkeiten nach wie vor aktuell und akut sind.

man kann nicht/ its not possible to:

  • geschlossene Bugs kommentieren/ comment closed bugs
  • geschlossene Bugs wiedereröffnen/ reopen closed bugs
  • Bugkommentare+Status von "fremden" Notes abonnieren (ohne einen sinnlosen Kommentar abzulassen) / get notifications to note-edits from "not own"-notes without comment there
  • versehentlich falsch positionierte Bugs verschieben (*hüstel* doch das kann man (beim Erstellen), es hat nur keinen Effekt ...) / move bugs from wrong position to right
  • OSM dazu bewegen, (mir) die Notes immer anzuzeigen / show (me) notes every time and everywhere on the Map

Was ich mangels Zweitaccount und mangels aktiver massiver Eröffnungen (und somit mangels fremder Schliessungen) noch nicht verifizieren konnte, ist, ob ich eine Benachrichtigung auf ein kommentarloses Schliessen bekomme.

Necronneuring (Metric Century Training – Week 3)

I tried to follow my metric century training plan last week.

Here’s how I made out:

What I should have done 8 14 17 off 14 42 14 108 Miles
What I did off 14 off 18 14 off 43 76 Miles

I came up a little short on the weekly total, but I got the long ride in, so I’m calling it a successful week.

This week’s long ride was another Necronneuring™ adventure. I found another old cemetery in the Google maps satellite view that wasn’t on the map, so I rode out to investigate. Sloth came along on this one.

It was a dark and gloomy day. Perfect for a spooky bike ride.

A dark and gloomy day.

Sloth knew a shortcut through the woods to avoid a particularly shitty intersection.

Shortcut

After a great deal of dick-monkeying around, we got to the entrance to the cemetery. Unfortunately, the road was gated, and posted with “No Trespassing” signs.

No Trespassing

A caretaker showed up out of nowhere and opened the gate for us. It was kind of strange. This gate is in the woods, out of sight from anywhere. I’m assuming he was real, and this isn’t some Scooby-Doo ghost story thing, because Sloth saw him too.

Anyways, we made our way up to the grave yard and looked around.

Bikes in the Graveyard

After a few minutes of walking around in wet grass, and breathing in the unwholesome vapours of the graveyard, we rode back down the mountain. Sloth brewed up some coffee to keep our spirits up.

Esbit coffee

After coffee time, we rode back across the river to the land of the living.

I had some minor mechanical malfunctions on this ride. I lost a fender mount, and seem to have picked up a few ticks, squeeks, and moans in the Cross Check. I have about 1600 miles on her since her last tune-up, so I guess it’s time to get the wrenches out and give her the once-over.

These rides are getting longer, and I really don’t want to have a total breakdown 30 miles from home.

Ausschnitt einer Seekarte

Heute haben wir wieder einen OSM Talk für euch. Ich habe zwei interessante Personen zum Interview besucht, mit denen ich die andere Seite der OSM-Welt beleuchten möchte – die der Datennutzer. Als Geocacher benutzen Uta und Marcel OpenStreetMap-Daten um sich im Gelände zu Orientieren, haben aber auch so ihre Schmerzen beim Verwenden unserer Daten.

In der ersten Hälfte des Interviews besprechen wir den Alltag des gemeinen Geocachers und wo dort OSM eine Rolle spielt. In der zweiten Hälfte beleuchten wir das andere Hobby der beiden, bei dem sie in Boot und Kajak auf der Hochsee sowie im Binnengewässer mit OSM-Karten und Informationen der OpenSeaMap herumschlagen. Zum Schluss driften wir noch ein wenig in Marcels Vergangenheit ab und lauschen Geschichten aus der Zeit, als er sich seinen Weg noch mit dem Sextant suchte.

How many contributors does OSM have?

We all know that while we have over a million, actually over 1.2 million now, user accounts, the number of actual contributors is quite a bit lower. Often you will see a number of 200'000 quoted, however that only considers the last editor of an object and not all the editors.

Analysing the mid May 2013 changeset dump gives a total of 335'000 unique user ids that have created a changeset. We can see this number increasing more or linearly in recent years:

OpenStreetMap Accumulated Contributors per Month

Over the last 12 months we have averaged roughly 7'000 new contributors per month, in total a good 80'000 per year:

OpenStreetMap New Contributors per Month

The numbers only take half of May in to account so it is too early to see if the announcement of the iD editor will already have a noticeable effect. In the long run we hope for a clear increase in the number of account holders actually contributing.

State of the Map Conference

Call for presentations

Although this blog has been quiet since March, the organisation of State of the Map 2013 has been anything but inactive. It's been a busy couple of months, during which we have finalised the ticketing website, launched our call for presentations, and signed up our first few sponsors.

If you follow our twitter account, or are subscribed to any of the main OpenStreetMap mailing lists, then this news probably isn't new to you. For everyone else, apologies that it is late - we will endeavour to keep you informed via this blog up to and during SotM 2013!

So what are we looking for from this years presentations? Well, the theme of the conference is Change so presentations addressing this theme are of particular interest. For example, if you have something to say about switching to OSM, barriers to its use, apps for mobile mapping, changing community organisation or behaviour, historical mapping, or just anything that you want to present, then we want to hear from you.

Head over to the call for presentations form, to submit your presentation proposal. To keep things easy, at this stage we just need a few words, not a full presentation. You will however have to act quickly - call for presentations closes in 3 weeks on Monday 10 June 2013.

Факт використання OSM порадував, але підпис внизу здивував. На перший погляд помилка явно технічна і викликана необізнаністю автора, комерційної мети таке використання не переслідує. Але що ж це виходить? Ми інвестуємо в проект найдорожче що у нас є - власний час (та часто і матеріальні затрати в процесі теж несемо), а наші труди взяли і так запросто приписали корпорації добра... Не годиться. Пишу шаблонного листа з коректурами по ситуації. Приємна несподіванка - в той же день відповідь

OSM Foundation Awarded the “Geospatial Content Organisation of the year 2012″

OSMF Geospatial Content Organisation of the Year 2012

OSMF: Geospatial Content Organisation of the Year 2012

The Geospatial World Leadership Awards Jury has conferred the OSM Foundation with the “Geospatial Content Organisation of the Year 2012″ award. This award on earlier occasions has been presented to both Google Earth and Bing Maps and is given out by Geospatial Media based on nominations by the Geospatial World Magazine.

According to their statement, the jury “was convinced and felt overwhelmed with vision and capabilities of the Foundation in developing, maintaining and making available, the voluminous, exhaustive and constantly updated geospatial data.”

The award was received by Henk Hoff, board member, on behalf of the OSMF, during the Award Night of the Geospatial World Forum. Henk thanked the organisation for the award and with that recognizing the project as a reliable source for global open geo-data. He continued with: “The real success behind OpenStreetMap is it’s community. A community of more than a million volunteer contributors around the world. I would like to dedicate this award to them.”

Живу в Феодосии. В данный момент интересует гидрография большой Феодосии, Кировского и Ленинского района. Нанес известные мне имена прудов и водохранилищ в этих районах. Прорисовал все притоки и пруды р. Байбуга и соседних ручьев. Потихоньку двигаюсь на запад. Думаю рыболовы оценят))

Маппинг трассы

Трасса Морозовск - Ростов-на-Дону

Замаппил отрезок трассы по видеорегистратору и GPS-треку от Морозовска по М21 до примыкания к М4 и немного М4 от М21 к Ростову, но не всё, т.к. записи дальше нет. Возможно, ещё не хватает ограничений по стороне Ростов-Морозовск, т.к. с регистратора не видно встречных знаков :) а от записи Ростов-Морозовск остались только небольшие куски. Отрезок трассы на карте Скриншот сделан со страницы http://map.project-osrm.org

Ссылка на карту

Что маппил

* На М4 места для разворотов
* Заправки
* Освещение
* Полосность
* Туалеты
* Автобусные остановки
* Пешеходные переходы (не проставил теги crossing=uncontrolled, но они там везде и так)
* Отростки съездов с трассы
* Запреты обгонов (только если обозначены знаками)
* Немного milestone
* Кое-где power=tower и power=pole
* Пересечения ж/д путей
* Ограничения проезда по высоте
* Запреты движения грузовиков (если были)
* Кафешки, столовые, стоянки, которые попали в объектив видеорегистратора
* Развязки
* Ограничения скорости
* Правка кольцевых развязок

Чего не маппил:

* Рекомендуемая скорость
* Milestone почти не маппил
* Ну и всё остальное, чего не заметил

Результат

  • Участок трассы полностью пригоден для навигации (по крайней мере, я так щетаю)
  • Нанесены все заправки. Только не везде указаны октановые числа доступного бензина
  • Нанесены запреты обгона

Актуальность данных

25 марта 2013 года. Трек загружен в OSM как Идентефицируемый.

Кое-где в развязках пришлось прибегнуть к помощи более опытных участников OSM, где они быстро появились и помогли, и за это им Спасибо :)

Cinq Centimes

Today, the saturday before pentecost, we’ve been to Wasigenstein Castle. We enjoyed the warm and sunny day with the children, observing leeches, newts, lizards, and a colubrid.

Near the Sauer, we found those five centimes coined in 1966, 36 years before the Euro became the common european currency. Here’s the opposite side of the coin:

I also had the occasion for some wee small edits concerning the openstreetmap data set.

London's contours and lost rivers

Is it bad form to write 2 diary entries in one day? Possibly. But the network drives in the office have conked out, and it's Friday afternoon, and I have this all ready to go, so what the hell.

London's lost rivers have fascinated me ever since I first read about them, and since I started cycling in London the contours have fascinated me too. Finding a way to visualise these things was what first got me into OSM (via Maperitive), but I never found the time to finish the job to a reasonable standard. So here's a first attempt, see what you think:

The UCL Urban Laboratory is a cross-disciplinary initiative that links various research interest in urban issues, from infrastructure to the way they are expressed in art, films and photography. The Urban Laboratory has just published its first Urban Pamphleteer which aim to ‘confront key contemporary urban questions from diverse perspectives. Written in a direct and accessible tone, the intention of these pamphlets is to draw on the history of radical pamphleteering to stimulate debate and instigate change.’

 

My contribution to the first pamphleteer, which focused on ‘Future & Smart Cities’ is dealing with the balance between technology companies, engineers and scientists and the values, needs and wishes of the wider society. In particular, I suggest the potential of citizen science in opening up some of the black boxes of smart cities to wider societal control.  Here are the opening and the closing paragraphs of my text, titled Beyond quantification: we need a meaningful smart city:

‘When approaching the issue of Smart Cities, there is a need to discuss the underlying assumptions at the basis of Smart Cities and challenge the prevailing thought that only efficiency and productivity are the most important values. We need to ensure that human and environmental values are taken into account in the design and implementation of systems that will influence the way cities operate…

…Although these Citizen Science approaches can potentially develop new avenues for discussing alternatives to the efficiency and productivity logic of Smart Cities, we cannot absolve those with most resources and knowledge from responsibility. There is an urgent need to ensure that the development and use of the Smart Cities technologies that are created is open to democratic and societal control, and that they are not being developed only because the technologists and scientists think that they are possible.’

The pamphleteer is not too long – 32 pages – and include many thought-provoking pieces from researchers in Geography, Environmental Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science and Art. It can be downloaded here.

Mapping Croydon

Croydon takes a lot of stick -- it was heavily bombed during the war, with any remaining traditional aesthetics being destroyed in the '60s under a council masterplan to establish it as a centre of commerce. It's a "working-class" town in unfashionable South London, with high levels of poverty, and of course was hit by rioting in 2011.

But it's also cheap (for London) and easy to get around, generally friendly, and has various places of interest if you know where to look. It also has a number of local blogs and webpages, including the excellent Completists' Guide run by Kake Pugh (http://croydon.randomness.org.uk -- a sometime OSM contributor herself I think). As you can see if you click through, it's a treasure trove of POI info. So instead of gathering POIs from scratch, I've been able to print off details from the site to take with me on surveys, making notes where needed (kinda like Walking Papers). I've now added building and shop info for all of central Croydon, with only London Road (aka West Croydon aka Broad Green) to go.

With a new shopping centre and various "public realm improvements" planned, hopefully the town is on the up, and maybe OSM (and the Completists' Guide) can help in some way, who knows.

Mapping party a Cotlliure l'1 de juny

S'organitza a Catalunya Nord una mapping party l'1 de juny a Cotlliure. Esperem aprofitar l'avinentesa per anar teixint vincles amb els contribuïdors de contrades veïnes, d'Occitània i del Principat, dins un ambient a la vegada molt agradable i, tot i ser prou turístic, bastant propici a milloraments cartogràfics a l'OpenStreetMap com (cada equip podrà escollir el tema que més li agradi):

  • els hotels i restaurants,
  • les botigues i locals d'artistes (prou abundants a Cotlliure),
  • el «petit patrimoni» (estàtues i monuments, tomba de Machado, etc.),
  • els eventuals elements de toponímia catalana,
  • pot ser que restin uns elements del litoral a afegir, com les casetes de vigilància,
  • pàrquings, passos de vianants, accessos restringits i/o accessibilitat (places reservades, etc.).
  • corregir la zona del castell reial (no em sembla que tot pertanyi a l'exèrcit com ho està apuntat actualment).

De moment la cita és a les 11 del matí a la platja del Vorama (estem discutint per saber si millor reunir-nos a les 11 o 2 de la tarda).

Dobre miejsce do wyjazdu firmowego

Od 7 lat prowadzę szkolenia, tzw miękkie, dlatego wiele podróżuję i widziałam dużo miejsc w kraju i po za nim. Zanim zaczęłam organizować szkolenia dla firm byłam przekonana, że cena ma duży wpływ na jakość sal, otoczenia ośrodków i ogólnie na całość. Życie szybko mylne przekonania zweryfikowało. Obecnie posiadam w swoim notatniku kilka miejsc, do których stale wracam, jedno z nich znajduje się nad Zalewem Zegrzyńskim w okolicy Warszawy.

Ze względów pragmatycznych (w końcu prowadzę swoją działalność, więc jakby nie patrzeć też jest to ważne, ale nie najważniejsze) wybrałam jeden z ośrodków, których cena do jakości pasuje mi najbardziej. Szkolenia prowadzę 20-sto osobowe i takie sale szkoleniowe wybieram, często korzystam ze sprzętu na miejscu - pod tym względem jest w porządku. Największym plusem jest bliskość wody, po szkoleniach często wynajmujemy łódki, a szczególnym hitem jest wioska wikingów. Chociaż ciężko się kursantom skupić na następny dzień to wspominają moje szkolenia prze długi czas, a to kolejna wartość dodana :)

Inkscape and MapBox for Interactive, Illustrated maps

We recently relaunched the MapBox product tour, and part of that redesign includes a custom map showing off our server infrastructure:

http://mapbox.com/tour/#section-tech

Even though this map began its life as a vector illustration in Inkscape, it’s actually a fully-functional tile-based slippy map. This allows us to do cool things like add markers based on lat/lon coordinates, and add panning and zooming, that would be impossible with just a static image.

It’s surprisingly easy to do this kind of thing with MapBox. Here’s how I made the map:

  1. I started by importing a screenshot of MapBox Streets at zoom level 2 into Inkscape, to use as a guide, ensuring my illustration will be geo-rectified with latitude and longitude coordinates once I upload it to MapBox.

  2. I started drawing my map with the pen tool in Inkscape, using the screenshot as a guide.

  3. I created a transparent layer on top of my map to define the bounds of the ‘tiles’ I want to export out of Inkscape.

  4. I batch-exported the tile layer out of inkscape, resulting in 256 x 256px png “tiles”.

  5. I ran this shell script, which automatically assembled the PNG tiles into an MBtiles file.

  6. I uploaded the MBtiles file to my MapBox account. It’s now treated like any MapBox map - ready to be shared. Here it is in my account.

  7. Finally, using mapbox.js (and the assisance of Garrett), I added an interactive layer of markers with custom popups. Here’s the end result.

If you’d like to make your own illustrated map with Inkscape and MapBox, here’s a starter kit I put together that includes an Inkscape template and the shell script for assembling your MBtiles file from multiple PNGs. With a bit of experimentation you can do a lot of interesting things with images as maps. For further background, check out Tom MacWright’s blogpost on images as maps.

Теперь недалеко

Вдобавок к пешеходному путешествию (на которое пока никто публично не решился), организаторы State of the Map предлагают велосипедистам прокатиться из Европы в Бирмингем, получив за это право бесплатного участия. Это всего неделя кручения педалей (полтора дня для рандоннёров) — куда более заманчивое предложение.

Также, на эту конференцию открыта предварительная регистрация: успев купить билет до конца мая, вы сэкономите £20. Да и билеты на самолёт тоже пора брать.
 

Новый сайт русско-балтийской конференции State of the Map Baltics сообщает, что она пройдёт в Тарту 3-4 августа; опубликованы примерная программа и способы добраться до города. Для участников из России — специальное приглашение. Регистрация уже открыта, и она тоже предварительная: после 9 июня входной билет подорожает в два с половиной раза.

Также, мы ищем спонсоров! Поскольку конференция выросла из формата «комната и микрофон», у нас есть несколько спонсорских пакетов с разными предложениями, благодаря которым название вашей компании запомнят участники и опубликуют в прессе. Свяжитесь с организаторами и получите подробную информацию. (Интересно, читают ли потенциальные спонсоры этот блог.)

В понедельник на openstreetmap.org появились баннеры двух сотмов, и Ричайт Вейт предложил добавить в ротацию третий, для Торонто, вызвав эпическую перепалку. Видимо, со своей конференцией нам туда лучше не соваться.

Anyone has a tool to fix this kind of way?

There are quite a few ways in the database which are passing by several times the same point. Such an example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/191420773

There are lot of those in this area, but I've such seen a ways a bit everywhere in the map. It seems like it's pretty easy to do with Potlatch, and really hard to fix :-/

Anyway, is there a tool to fix such a way? Or maybe someone has a tip on how to fix them easily?

Q&A: City Guides by National Geographic

Today’s release of the gorgeous City Guides by National Geographic mobile app showcases the perfect marriage of expansive content, a high level of attention to detail and polish, and the flexibility of MapBox’s platform, all in one package.

We recently got in touch with Jess Elder, Senior Product Manager at National Geographic, as well as Thomas Cooke, Ben Cline, and Adam Luptak at Rally Interactive, the talented shop behind the app, for a little Q&A about the app, its development, and their use of MapBox along the way.

MapBox: Tell us about the app and why you made it.

Cooke: The app essentially provides travel planning content and utility features for four of the world’s most iconic cities – London, Paris, Rome, and New York – and is based on a series of award-winning guidebooks that National Geographic has been publishing for years.

There are plenty of features and content for users to get a feel for what the app has to offer. Users can then purchase individual guides loaded with insider content from National Geographic’s editorial team like What to Do, Food Scene recommendations, Secrets, and more.

Maps are of course essential to the experience. We made this app in a partnership with National Geographic and started working on it shortly after we launched last year’s National Parks by National Geographic.


“Being able to customize map tiles with MapBox was crucial in getting the desired outcome.”

- Ben Cline, Rally Interactive


MapBox: Maps are featured really prominently in the app. What were your design goals with adding a map and why did you feel you needed a custom map?

Cooke: Indeed, maps are central to the app. Most of the content and functionality is tied to the map piece. There were a few reasons why we were attracted to MapBox, but it really came down to a mutual decision between us and our partners at National Geographic. Besides being a digital producer, Jess has a background in cartography. The decision to use MapBox goes deeper than just a design decision, but we certainly love the flexibility for custom design.

Cline: We wanted the app to embody a modern look and feel. To accomplish this, we needed to use a muted color palette accented by a couple of highly saturated hues. Being able to customize map tiles with MapBox was crucial in getting the desired outcome.

MapBox: What were the good parts of using the MapBox iOS SDK and what were the hard parts? What about with our hosted map service?

Luptak: Both the greatest strength and biggest challenge was the freedom that the MapBox iOS SDK’s open source nature allowed us. By starting from the release version, we were able to capitalize on the ability to pull customized map tiles from the MapBox service and cache them for offline use, and then build on top of that to achieve the customized interface we wanted with things like custom pins and unorthodox callouts. The combination of the customization tools for map styling and the ability to modify the SDK allowed us to present users with a unique, fully custom map, integrated with the visual style of the app.


“The ability to modify the SDK allowed us to present users with a unique, fully custom map, integrated with the visual style of the app.”

- Adam Luptak, Rally Interactive


MapBox: Anything else about MapBox’s technology or about the app that you’d like to mention?

Elder: Building on National Geographic’s tradition of cartography, photography, and publishing, we seek to meld armchair traveling with functional utility in our apps. With our partners at Rally Interactive, we’ve finally been able to take travel apps to new heights of elegance and quality, while keeping the user experience simple and informative. Coupling National Geographic’s content and storytelling with Rally Interactive’s brilliant design and development atop MapBox’s customizable map tiles and solid service, we feel this app really creates a useful and beautiful utility for the urban traveler.


You can download the app now or, if you’re a developer, you can dive right into our tools and start making beautiful maps today!

Have a great app that you’ve built using MapBox? Get in touch with us or feel free to message me directly on Twitter or App Dot Net.
