Nice workaround indeed, but you may have problems in case of changes of the order of the entries in the feed… And you may risk having duplicate/lost entries if the script doesn’t run “at the right moment”.

Did you consider rss2email? (it’s more like a proper feed reader, with its own db, etc… but hey, no need to deal with xml with sed/grep) :)

Privyet! (the only word I know in Russian yet) :)

Nice idea! You may want to consider extending this:

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:hazard
• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenHazardMap

These pages should help you in making the tags official:

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like
• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal_process

Good luck!

It could also be a bug in OsmAnd, see e.g.: https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/3060 https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/5137

This is the format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_degrees

I assume you get two results because if you write “38.5807 77.2605” the search engine cannot know which number is the latitude and which is the longitude (the two results have the same coordinates but swapped).

If you add N/S E/W to the coordinates you will get an unique result: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=38.5807N%2077.2605E#map=17/38.58070/77.26050

Yup, thank you for your articles! :)

Great!

Great! :)

Impressionante, complimenti.

Grandi! :)

I mean, “via” is what you use in road names: “Via Roma” is like “Rome Road”. (sorry, I clicked save too fast)

Yes, “via” means “road” in italian.

nokia 1110 e holux m241... Si fa tranquillamente :)
(però traccio soltanto, senza mappare. Potresti altrimenti prenderti dietro un registratorino per segnarti le cose senza dover interrompere la corsa)

Un marsupio stretto? Oppure potresti legarlo con qualcosa alla cintura oppure al braccio. Il mio vecchio nokia 5210 aveva di corredo un cordino e un cinturino per legarlo al braccio mentre si corre.
Personalmente quando corro tengo comodamente tutto in mano: in una il cellulare e le chiavi, nell'altra il gps.

@nic:
to merge tracks with gpsbabel you could do
gpsbabel -i gpx -f file1.gpx -f file2.gpx -f etc... -o gpx -F merged.gpx

You could ask to have it added to the blog planet (http://blogs.openstreetmap.org/)!

Unfortunately I'm not able to find any instruction on how to do it, perhaps asking some mailing list...

if you use linux, try navit. It uses vectorial data, have a gl-based interface and a lot of other features:
