Thanks for the analysis Jennings, I think it would be useful to also see how many kilometers of road have paid mappers added, how many buildings were added, etc

It would provide another dimension to compare.

When I was working at Telenav and we were improving parts of the world, we did this and found that in that year we provided 17.7% of all road geometry edits, around 94% of road restrictions, etc. https://twitter.com/apphil/status/898414703344402439

We could work together to create for next year also some stats regarding length and/or count for different mapped features.

My son was just born and I am currently rearranging the house a little, but in one month I will be done and will setup my Postgres DB server so I can load the OSM Planet file (if I will be able to, could not managed to do this in the past), or create a pipeline to load and import parts of the world, and run analysis on each country or continent)

Or even try to see if I can only parse the OSM changesets and extract the data from there.

Could you upload the svg template to the wiki? Also, not sure what fonts did I use, and if the SVG is rendered properly

Hi GeoMechain, here is the SVG https://www.dropbox.com/s/t53185ehsmzgdtb/JOSM%20Kayboard%20Layourt%20final%20cu%20tot%20cu%20text.svg?dl=0

WIth Osmium i did not tried, i tried with osm-history-renderer so that i can load the data in postgres, but it failed every single time

Hi, thanks for the hint, i did not used this command :)

Nice work, and i love the technical part. More tech explanations :D But the same, first the everyday explanation, and then the tech part

Hi, i am casting the geometry as geography for accurate results. So this is why i don`t specify the CRS

You can read a better explanation then mine here http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/6683/12422

@jochen nice tool, so low level. I will try to test it on a virtual machine, i also like the other tools from your repo

There is also a internal tool that is designed for making x*x kilometres grid of a area and running the Cygnus tool on each area, and then outputting just the diff that can be sync in a way with tasking manager (did not tried it yet still)

Hi Joost, also Cygnus, the tool that we developed at Telenav can be useful

If you will be interested in doing some statistics, i made this repo that can help people use PostGIS and OSM to analyze the data

https://github.com/baditaflorin/osm-postgis-scripts

wow, this would have been perfect yesterday on our OSMTime presentation. http://www.meetup.com/Cluj-Napoca-OpenStreetMap-Meetup/events/230543502/

Wow, nice. We will use it for out mapping party that we will have on the 17th of April in Cluj :)

I was calculating wrong. The lenght is 2.919.220

Good luck. Keep the posts going about how it`s going. I would really like to read more about what do you do.

Also, if you want to have access to osm data in PostGIS, i did this repository that can help people by simplifying the process of loading a file, adn creating a repository where we can share scripts.

sorry for the last post, wrong account

I would want to host a presentation about the Osm Postgis Script Repo, do you think it would be suited ? http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/baditaflorin/diary/37758

@ViriatoLusitano did you try with the script ?

I also did a scope.bat file for windows users, check it out. https://github.com/baditaflorin/osm-postgis-scripts

In PostGIS it should not be a problem

Yeah, this would require a powerful server.

For Germany i think it execute the script in 6-8 hours.

Europe maybe 2-3 days

The World it will be done in 5-6 days

@iyan If you fork it and modify the code, i think you should be albe to do this.

scope.sh it`s creating the database and then loading the file via osmosis.

You should be abla to make scope.sh output a file with the database that you had created and the filename of the osm.opbf file that you used and then use osmosis code

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Replication

I also think that you will need to change the scope.sh script to allow replication, i did not test it yet, it would be a great addition

Its still a linux only thing, but at least you dont have to know the osmosis commands, etc

I am guessing that you don`t have linux installed or put in a virtual machine ?
