Hello Sajjad,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
where is the map you created?<br></blockquote><div>The map is here <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=11.32007&lon=75.93383&zoom=17" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=11.32007&lon=75.93383&zoom=17</a><br>
But this is the first attempt, hence the map is incomplete, the quality of work is very poor. The document is a step forward to improve the quality.<br><br></div></div></blockquote><div> </div></div><div>Indeed the quality is poor, but I guess you have subscribed to this mailing list to improve it ?<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div>Exactly. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>
OpenStreetMap is a great project, but it requires initially a deep dive in the wiki (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page</a>) to understand what to do, what to avoid. To understand also that it may take a few hours for your changes to be updated on the Mapnik rendering (or more depending on the zoom scale), to understand that you should not tag for the rendering but to reflect the reality. Try to see what others do in some nicely-mapped area. And feel free to ask your questions or doubts on the mailing list.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div>Yes. The map we created is not actually totally rendered. I wonder what went wrong. We are reworking on the data with the new subset from OSM and will come up here with queries. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>Some useful tool like KeepRight can help you to fix some basic mistakes (updated once a week I guess):<br><a href="http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?db=osm_XD&zoom=16&lat=11.31964&lon=75.93473&layers=B00T&ch=0&show_ign=0&show_tmpign=0" target="_blank">http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?db=osm_XD&zoom=16&lat=11.31964&lon=75.93473&layers=B00T&ch=0&show_ign=0&show_tmpign=0</a><br>
(the Permalink allows you to bookmark a specific location in updating the URL)<br></div></div></blockquote><div>Thank you for this tip. The KeepRight tool is going to be of great help.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="gmail_quote"><div><br>You can also use JOSM and the validator plugin to check the basic errors before uploading.<br>Some mistakes are very basic and cannot make use of the map for routing purpose for example: crossing roads with ways not connected. Or they are unappropriate like building=yes on a single node (use a closed-way for this tag) or replace it with landuse=residential for example.<br>
Refer often to the <u>Map Features</u> page to know the most common tags and attributes: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features</a>, and also how to combine them.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div>We'll try them.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>
<br>I personally don't try to map everything and everyday, but what I find useful for me and others.<br><br>Greetings,<br>Guillaume<br><br></div></div>
