plepe / OpenStreetBrowser

An application to ‘browse’ the information in the displayed part of the map. Similar to common Wikis and also the main page of http://www.openstreetmap.org the website shows a narrow menu on the left side, most of the page is used for the display of the map. In contrast to most Wikis the menu is not static, but rather the content of the map can be browsed in categories. For the map a special style has been developed (sorry guys, I neither like the default Mapnik nor Osmarender styles), and special overlays are displayed to support the current browsed categories. When you click on an object (either from the list or directly on the map) informations on this object are displayed.

Navigation test case #7

Closed serpico closed 12 years ago

serpico commented 12 years ago

Hi

I tryed to test the navigation feature, specially with foot option

home : -7.77117, 110.39387 destination : -7.78082, 110.37754

Practically and on the map it's impossible to reach Jl nologaten fron the "home" coordinates, moreover there are a lot of small roads which are not used, making the trip longer and forcing pedestrian to walk along big streets/roads full of cars instead of small ones.

home : -7.77144, 110.39315 destination : -7.78083, 110.37753

For this one, can you give me some hints why the route seem so strange

Both cases are probably due to wrong informations that I have provided while mapping, so If you can help to improve them it would be great.

Additionaly regarding OSB GUI, it would be great also to allow user to "feed" directly "home" and "destination" in the frame Navigation with coordinates, allowing them copy/paste, not using the map to enter the coordinates.

Thanks

Hi!

For the navigation I can't really tell you, as I'm using the public API of the company "Cloudmade" (which is OpenStreetMap-based) for calculating the route. That's not perfect and there are more advanced routers, but currently I don't have the resources to change to/add another service. -> http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/routing-http-api

I can only guess, that they try not to use roads with "highway=unclassified" and favour "highway=residential" instead.

For the idea with the GUI: Good idea, I will consider it for the future. I will open a separate issue for that, which you can follow.
