'''OpenStreetMap''' is a community-edited map of the world.

 +
== Editors ==
 +
A Flash-based editor named Potlatch is available. It is most useful for editing existing data or adding points of interest. A more complex Java-based editor editor called Josm is probably the most widely used OpenStreetMap editor. Merkaartor is a Qt editor. Current versions of Quantum GIS has have support for OSM data.
 +
 
 +
== Renderers ==
 +
The most popular rendering software is Mapnik. For desktop or personal purposes, Quantum GIS may be the easiest renderer to use. Glosm provides an interactive 3D rendering, while osm2pov renders an isometric, Sim City-looking map.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free, editable map of the world. It can be thought of as the Wikipedia of maps.

About OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap is a community-edited map of the world.

Editors

A Flash-based editor named Potlatch is available. It is most useful for editing existing data or adding points of interest. A more complex Java-based editor editor called Josm is probably the most widely used OpenStreetMap editor. Merkaartor is a Qt editor. Current versions of Quantum GIS has have support for OSM data.

Renderers

The most popular rendering software is Mapnik. For desktop or personal purposes, Quantum GIS may be the easiest renderer to use. Glosm provides an interactive 3D rendering, while osm2pov renders an isometric, Sim City-looking map.

LUUG Support

Below are listed the Linux and Unix Users Groups known to be involved with OpenStreetMap.

Tags in use around Blacksburg

Key Value Comment
access:permit F/S, F/S/V, C/G, R This is a custom tag used to mark permits that are required to park. Since it's not a default tag, both Mapnik and Osmarender do not render it.

Road Centerline Data

As of May 15, 2010, all road centerline data has been imported. If you notice any problems with the import (primarily missing streets or unconnected ways), please fix it.

Objectives

  • Campus
    • Complete footpath coverage (a few may be missing)
    • Steps and ramps (for ADA purposes)

    • Bus stops: see about getting data from Blacksburg Transit directly
    • Restaurants and shopping
    • Add apartment complexes (a few may be missing)
      • Foxridge parking
  • New River Valley Mall and surrounding shopping centers
    • Buildings (trace from NAIP or 2005 VGIN imagery)
    • Bus stops
    • Parking and parking aisles
    • Restaurants and shopping
  • Construction

Mapping Events
