Hallo Everyone, let's continue the news recap and also inform you about latest changes.<\/p>\n
\n\tFirst off all there are new contourlines for Denmark, Norway and Finland and Sweden. They are fully based on viewfinderpanoramas.org 1" data - so very high quality. However for Sweden only the 50km bordering Norway are actually excellent quality. The rest is based on 3" data.<\/p>\n
So good news for your next trip to Scandinavia. Hopefully soon viewfinderpanoramas.org will update the data for the Alps too - then I will of course also update the contourlines in the Alps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also I went through OpenMTBMap and VeloMap websites and made sure no more broken image links are present anymore. So the map legend and the screenshots are updated (lesson for me - never upload any images to image hosters - or expect them to be deleted after a couple of years).<\/p>\n
I'm thinking of upgrading the layout of the websites end of this year - but still some time to go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lots of work on removing obsolete fixme=incomplete arrows in the maps. Now it should really only be used if a highway is not fully entered in OSM database and also some more stringent requirements when fixme=continue or noexit=no are shown with arrows in the maps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Again more work on transliteration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Highway=unclassified was shown with highway=residential color in resolution 23. Fixed for both OpenMTBMap and VeloMap<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\tHere's a screenshot of North Norway with the new contourlines (well to be frank - you won't notice on the overview- but if you zoom in then the higher quality is quite obvious).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
fix bug on unclassifieds roads that are part of mtb route and shown as track...<\/p>\n
Another big change - especially important for well developed countries is that there is now a new layout for unpaved primary\/secondary\/tertiary\/unclassified\/residential roads. I will still optimize this a bit in the future though. However since 3 weeks it should be clear to anyone if for example a tertiary road is not paved.<\/p>\n
I still think that the OSM key smoothness is a much better tag to indicate road condition for cycling than tracktype. Of course I convert the values to tracktype - trying to make sure that a grade1 is always paved, a grade2 is a compacted surface (e.g. good condition gravel) and so on. However I mainly relied on smoothness if available to do so. Badly though I must say I noticed much more errors on smoothness values than on tracktype values. Therefore I now treat both keys as same important - and use them much stronger for errorchecking.<\/p>\n
Also I reworked the surface key in order to better classify tracks and trails - inocorporating many new values<\/p>\n
\n\tOSM changed the way forests and wood are described. I therefore uncluded the new keys Leaf_cycle and Leaf_type in order to classify wood\/forest\/scrub. I keep on using the standard european map layout with mixed, deciduous and coniferous only though. Also for a long time natural=wood without wood=.... was omitted in resolution 21 in the maps. Fixed this.<\/p>\n
Lots of countries got improved address search by incorporating the local rules better.<\/p>\n
Service=high_speed for highspeed trains (plus rework of other keys that identify high speed railway lines), and better identification of big rivers\/canals.<\/p>\n
Rework of naming of peaks and summits.<\/p>\n
All maps now have integrated contours - also Asia. So for any country (on windows) the installer will automatically install the contourlines. Long time this was not true for Asia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many many more fixes and changes were done. OSM is constantly evolving, and so are tagging practices. I try my best to constantly reflect this.<\/p>\n
