[Openseamap-maps] Import hydrographic data for New Zealand & environs

[Kyle H. <K....@ou...>]

Hello,

In New Zealand we are planning to continue the import of data from Land Infomation New Zealand (LINZ).

The next stage of this import is hydrographic data, using the seamark tagging schema.
The source data uses the IHO S-57 format, and the tagging + data layers are documented here: https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ#Hydrographic

This data covers New Zealand, its outer islands, Sāmoa, Tonga, Niuē, Tokelau, the Cook Islands, and the Ross Sea of Antarctica (roughly equivalent to the area on this map: https://maritimenz.govt.nz/images/about/rccnz/SRR-map.jpg).

If anyone is interested in reviewing the plan, please see https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ#Hydrographic
Any feedback is welcome.

Best regards,
Kyle

[Bryon M. <mac...@gm...>]

I have a small black GPS rechargeable black box that can link to my Open
CPN 5.0 downloaded onto my laptop.

I am trying to link the Garman GPS box to this fantastic chart website
openseamap. It is not a chart plotter or MFD, just a little black box GPS
that works great.

Any guidance welcome.

Mooring berths without any "seamark:type=small_craft_facility" nearby. 
Such moorings are very common on European inland waterways, providing 
places to tie-up overnight but nothing else.

Coastal areas do not usually have such places.

Re: [Openseamap-maps] Marina with no facilities

[Edward B. <bai...@gm...>]

I can only speak from experience of using them, not from the point of view
of any formal definition.

By 'facilities' I would understand things like a power hookups; shower
block; a shop selling tins, toggles and toothpaste; bar/restaurant
slipway/lifting gear; posh yachtie clothes; etc. In order of importance.

The most basic I've used was in the Hebrides: some bollards to tie up, and
a single shower in a farmer's shed (spotlessly clean, leave 50p in the
matchbox). I'd hesitate to call even that 'no facilities', but I'm of the
hair-shirt sort: ymmv.

[Openseamap-maps] questions: missing symbols, rendering, depth information

[<al...@lo...>]

Hi there,

I recently started adding and fixing information on openseamap. There
are a few things that I did not find sufficient information about in the
wiki.

- There is no guide on how to chart signs. The plugins are incomplete
and it's pretty cumbersome to find out the rules and interdependencies
to the different tags/values.
- Where to place seamark:type=notice? - i.e. for an non-free ferry,
place on the ferry route or place one at each position where there is
such a sign installed?
- Tags/values for kiteboarding permitted areas/signs are missing.
- How to tag multiple signs on a single post/position?
- How do I manually enter depth information, like if I measured the
depth at several points by hand?
- Is it possible to enter depth contour lines (like areas where you say:
inside it is deeper than...)? Or do you collect pointlike depth
information from sonar logs and then compute the depth contours from that?

- Why is the sea map not available as a layer at https://openstreetmap.org?
- Why is the sea map not rendered like sea chart (like SeaChart
background in JOSM, yellow land with reduced information)?

What else came to my mind is:

- Why are you using sourceforge? - In my (and many other's) opinion,
github/gitlab are far better and SF is effectivly dead.
- Searching the mailing list archive is a PITA, you effetively do not
find the information you want. An issue tracker and some board software
with tagging and so on would make discussion and contribution easier.

Don't take this as a complaint or rant, I just didn't find satisfying
answers.

Greetz, Adam.

[Openseamap-maps] Anfrage wegen Echolot Geraet

[Alexander L. <le...@ed...>]

Hallo Liste,

ich hab wegen folgender Frage eure Liste abonniert:

Ich moechte einen Fischteich aus der Luft erkunden, und zwar mit 
georeferenzierten Bildern und Wassertiefen.
Das Gewaesser darf normalerweise nicht mit Booten befahren werden, deshalb 
moechte ich die Erfassung mit einer Drohne machen.

Zur Tiefenmessung hatte ich die Idee, ein autarkes Echolot an einer Schnur 
anzubinden und dann punktuell abzusetzen.
GPS Koordinaten und Zeitstempel bekomme ich von der Drohne, das Echolot 
braucht also wenigstens einen Zeitstempel oder vergleichbares, um die 
Werte zu synchronisieren.

Frage an euch:
Gibt es solche Geraete (wahrscheinlich schon), v.a. aber zu welchem Preis?
Nachdem ich noch nie mit einem Echolot gearbeitet habe: ist diese 
Umsetzung ueberhaupt machbar, stoert evtl. das Vibrieren der Rotoren die 
Echolotmessung? Wie genau misst so ein Echolot?

Es handelt sich eher um ein Spass-Projekt, der Tuempel ist grade mal 
100x300 Meter gross und ca 3m tief.
Interessant waere, tiefere Stellen genauer zu vermessen (wo viel 
Gruenzeug Schutz fuer Fische bietet). 'Tiefer' heisst hier +1m ;)


Danke schonmal fuer Vorschlaege!

Alex.

We use the OSM Mapnik map as our base layer. I do not know what OsmAnd 
uses, but if their base map does not render breakwaters, then you should 
submit a request to them to render all relevant manmade=* objects.

Re: [Openseamap-maps] Breakwaters

[Fabrizio C. <fab...@gm...>]

Hi Malcom,
Mapnik renders the breakwaters. I found these definitions in [1], and you
can see the correct display in the links of my messages.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12504221
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12504222

Anyhow, you are right: if I go to www.openseamap.org you can see what the
openseamap layer is rendering through the overlay switch.

I'm supposing that OpenSeaMap/OsmAnd is using a different base rendering
(and it looks so).

Thanks

Re: [Openseamap-maps] Worldwide shallow depth shapefiles?

[John D. <jo...@bl...>]

I don't think that you'll find global bathymetry available anywhere.

In the EU, the INSPIRE project has resulted in the release of some bathymetry data in the public domain: un-gridded coastal bathymetry from the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, which is not suitable for navigation, is available at http://aws2.caris.com/ukho/mapViewer/map.action - select Bathymetry from the drop-down. I presume other European Hydrographic Offices contribute similar data. 

You could also have a look at MEDIN: http://www.oceannet.org/finding_data/ , though I'm not sure that either of these will give you exactly what you're asking for.

Unfortunately, there is no free data for depths between 0 and 200 m. That's one of the most important problems of sea map projects.
Probably, at some day the data will be opened.

Breakwaters are not rendered in the seamark layer. They ought to be 
rendered in the OSM Mapnik map, but it seems there is still no rules in 
the stylesheet.

You should open an issue in the Carto repository: 
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues to request 
that be done.

[Fabrizio C. <fab...@gm...>]

Hello to the list!
Although I'm an OSMer since few years this is my first message here, so I
apologize if I'would be off-topic.
I used the OpenSeaMap plugin for OSMAnd and I immediately realized that the
breakwaters in front of the Livorno's harbour are not shown:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12504221
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12504222

Can anybody say me if this is a mapping error or an application bug ? If
so, where can I ask support ?

[Openseamap-maps] Magellan Strait

[Lists <li...@gi...>]

Good afternoon

I urgently need maps of the Magellan Strait, principally eastern part. I need them in BSB or ENC format that can be opened with OpenCPN, or as a Garmin MAPI format to open with Garmin HomePort for Mac. The details I need are navigational marks and offshore installations.

I have official Argentinian maps downloaded from http://www.hidro.gob.ar/cartas/cartasnauticas.asp <http://www.hidro.gob.ar/cartas/cartasnauticas.asp> but they cover only this part with a general map, not any details. Another concern with Argentinian official maps for download is that they have not been updated or corrected since early 2012, this is an area with offshore installations.

The Chilean map agency, http://www.shoa.cl/pagnueva/comelec.html <http://www.shoa.cl/pagnueva/comelec.html> , probably have better maps of the area I am interested in, but I am not able to extract these maps. If anybody have success with that please let me know.

If the sources I get are of compatible license with OSM/OSeaM I am willing to prepare the maps for tracing or similar.

MPAs should be mapped in the main OSM database. This type of object is a 
recent addition to the IHO registry. It does not appear in the S-57 
catalogue, therefore will not be found in ENC charts. There will likely 
be some objects in the database that meet the definition of MPA, but 
have been mapped as Restricted Areas with categories such as Nature 
Reserve, Ecological Reserve, etc.

As yet there have been no Marine Protected Areas mapped. As a result, no 
rendering for these areas has been included in the renderer.
