Hello,
I'm shure that Thilo from the mapsforge-team will solve most of our technical issues in the future.
Please dont put too much preasure on him
, as I experienced he is a one-man-show in wide areas of this project,
and I dont want that he leaves this project in frustration - the work he had done its way to precious for the community.
For me the tech-issues are solved far enough to make a version freeze this weekend, the quality of the cycle routes matches Andy Allens OpenCycleMap in wide areas - I developed the resolving scripts with an eye on his maps.
Most of the problems I experienced the last weeks had nothing to do with technics but with wrong tagged relations - I had to find a ballance between skipping them and setting rules (AND code them) that handle suspicious data with additional general rules.
So 50% of the work is done, now the anoying stuff starts, basicly setting up a website, finding sponsors for bandwidth, proteting against download-crawlers, writing the legal stuff, asking for permission to use the contour data of viewfinderpanoramas (its only free for personal use), _maybe_ providing themes for different apps (Locus is the only app I'v seen so far where the implementation of custom themes _PLUS_ symbols is rock-solid) aso......
OK, the sun is shining, my Kayak is waiting eagerly in the garage .... :mrgreen:
best regards
Christian aus der Wachau
