I've finally had the time to have a play with this. <br>
<br>
It has the potential to be useful, but probably more so in the
future. You need a .gpx trace of the area you want to test, and
you need the area to be included in the test instance area - see
more info below.<br>
<br>
At the moment the test instance is only working for British isles,
Benelux, Iceland, South Africa, Brazil and Poland. I've tried it
out with several .gpx traces which I had already uploaded to OSM
(I always rename my traces so the method of transport is included
in the file name, which is extremely handy in this case.)<br>
<br>
I have tried it (just in case) using a trace I located in Bouake,
but TSBP reported it as unsolvable. I also located a trace in
South Africa (642932) which I tried out - no errors reported, but
again this appears to be a well mapped area.<br>
<br>
Method of use;<br>
a/. View a .gpx trace on OSM (for instance <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Tallguy/traces/1689294">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Tallguy/traces/1689294</a>)<br>
b/. On a different browser tab or window go to <a
href="http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/tsbp-proto/solve">http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/tsbp-proto/solve</a>
and paste in the trace id (1689294 in this instance), click on
'calculate' and then leave the browser window / tab running for a
few minutes - every so often click on reload.<br>
c/. When calculation is complete & you click on reload you
will be shown an OSM map with the trace on it, and it should
highlight any problems in the mapping (my problem is that my
traces don't indicate any problems, but my part of the world is
extremely well mapped!). <br>
<br>
For us to effectively use it we need a gps trace which we know has
been produced by someone in a motor vehicle of the area to check
& the area to be included in test instance. <br>
<br>
I think this is one to keep in the toolbox, ready for when we have
a few gps traces of areas of interest - but we need someone to
tell us when the gps traces exist. When I'm working from TM I try
to remember to download gps traces, but they are so few and far
between in the areas we are mapping that it is easy to forget to
check!<br>
<br>
