<br>
OpenStreetMap has this nice [1]feed of its users' [2]diaries, so<br>
that you can get all excited about the progress that fellow mappers<br>
have done near you. Now if you actually try to follow that feed, you<br>
may notice, as did I, that the problem is in the word _near_, which is<br>
the missing piece. It does not help to learn about new developments on<br>
[3]another continent.<br>
<br>
Fortunately (and unsurprisingly) the feed is [4]GeoRSS so we can<br>
filter its contents based on the coordinates supplied with most diary<br>
entries. I did not find such service on the Web so I wrote it myself: a<br>
[5]GeoRSS Box Filter. You say<br>
geofilter.php?url=...&minlat=...&maxlat=...&minlong=...&maxlong=... and<br>
it filters the given feed according to the given bounding box. If you<br>
omit the url, it defaults to the above mentioned OSM diary feed, and<br>
the bounding box defaults to Czechoslovakia.<br>
<br>
More examples? How about the [6]United Kingdom? or [7]Georgia? (The<br>
[8]Export tab is handy to get the numbers, BTW) To watch for uploaded<br>
GPS traces, use<br>
[9]geofilter.php?url=<a href="http://openstreetmap.org/traces/rss" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.org/traces/rss</a>. I wonder<br>
what other interesting feeds you can find to experiment with (but I did<br>
not try anything else than RSS 2.0).<br>
<br>
Oh, and I worked on this all on the [10]company time because it's<br>
[11]Hack Week3 now, yay!<br>
