Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

Download is OK. Server continues to work.

Re: 0.7.1
 

Done for the French translation.
It is far from perfect, and I'm not happy with every translation, but it can be released as a first try.

If another French speaking fellow wants to take a look, this webpage can be really useful for the terms related to roads names : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/F..._roads_tagging
There are lots of details in roads characterizations terms that are not that easy to understand at first sight without this reference.

There is no hurry in this.

Re: 0.7.1
 

Thank you for the translation, its a big work!

Re: 0.7.2
 

I have just published a new point release: 0.7.2

In addition to fixing a nasty bug imposed by fast download and slow writing to the media reported by @ade, this release introduces 4 more languages added by translators. While French and Russian are completely translated, there is also a great progress with Polish and Norwegian. So, I would like to thank the translators that step up to support these new languages in our list:

- @Sagittarii (@Zeta at TMO): French
- Oleg Artobolevsky @XOleg: Russian
- A @atlochowski: Polish
- Peer-Atle Motland @Pam: Norwegian

If you see something strange going on with the downloads (or some other functionality), let me know. I hope most of the issues with the downloads are fixed now, but there could be still some corner case lurking around.

We are working with @MartinK behind the scenes to get the distribution moved over to his server. Also I have to rearrange the scripts that are generating the maps, so we could easily add new regions and make updates automatic.

@rinigus I agree with @Zeta: "There are lots of details in roads characterizations terms that are not that easy to understand" and
"It is far from perfect, and I'm not happy with every translation, but it can be released as a first try."

@Zeta, thank for link :-)

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

Yes, its not very simple, sure! The link is added to Translation README at https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-...ions/README.md and available via "Help pages" in Transifex project page

Re: data.modrana.org
 

To all users:

Together with @MartinK, we have just finished syncing the whole maps dataset into its new home - data.modrana.org. To use this new location, please open Map Manager and press

"Update lists"

button. This would load an updated list pointing to the new location.

In few days I am planning to stop the current distribution via CDN that I used for launching the service assuming that we don't run into any technical difficulties.

I think a former acknowledgment is appropriate, so you would all know who to thank for the service: Maps are hosted by Natural Language Processing Centre (https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/en/ , Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic) through modRana (http://modrana.org)

I'll work on automation of the updates and we can then later look into adding few other regions as well

Re: data.modrana.org
 

Seem to work perfect. I just downloaded two more countries.

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

@rinigus and @MartinK, many thanks for great job.

P.S. food for thought :-) maybe will be possible to use http://gis-lab.info/projects/osm_dump/ as source of maps for Russia? regions, not districts.

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

I am working on making it possible. Namely, chopping the regions by poly-files from planet.pbf. It would take some evenings to get the scripts done. After that, it would be possible for you to merge polygons with the names of the regions into the osmscout-server repository in github.
