Integrate Important Overlays into Web #247

Closed karussell closed 1 year ago

karussell commented 10 years ago

Some interesting options:

POI layer
There is a nice weather overlay showing the current weather in the cities. CC0 licensed
Also the turn restriction overlay would be interesting to add. CC0 licensed
Mapillary. I've also heard about that yandex allows panorama images to be used in OSM (maybe that means we can integrate them in leaflet too)?
Traffic layer from ESRI
Wikipedia articles via wikipedia api - here is a google maps example using it

Mapillary would be nice to have too, content is CC BY-SA (http://www.mapillary.com/legal.html)

There is a small example on the integrations page but I guess using the API could result in something more useful, eg an optional photo near a turn instruction using the search call of the API

Another layer could be traffic e.g from ESRI

Hi- even more interesting would be to include this information into the actual routing. For example ESRI ArcGIS routing is capable of doing so. And more and more routing information is becoming visible and open data, see for example through the European DATEX2 standard.

karussell commented 10 years ago

Of course it would be, never found a useful set of open data! Do you have any pointers to those open data? Are these for real time traffic too?

peterneubauer commented 10 years ago

You could use Peilas for routing with OSMR, https://mapzen.com/projects

karussell commented 10 years ago

@peterneubauer could it be that you posted this in the wrong issue ;) ?

peterneubauer commented 10 years ago

Well, I was referring to @loffenauer 's routing on open data idea.

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hi Peter, I attached a sample Leaflet map with the overlay of measurement points for which you can get current traffic speed and other things for Düsseldorf. It is a transformation of the DATEX2 message that is published at http://www.mdm-portal.de/ by various cities, including Düsseldorf and Berlin at the time being. It is a European standard and there is a new European directive to be implemented by all member states that mandates the adoption of a real-time traffic information system with some early adopters listed at http://www.datex2.eu/datex-node.

For now no additional layers are planned.
