Do the things that are important for you. If you have time, do more. I do the same, that’s how it works. I can’t keep up with all the changes in the whole city. If everybody corrects just the few streets around his home and work place, OSM would be perfect :-).
MikeB, as it’s an OSM “problem” it depends on the contributors (but you’re welcome to join ;-)).
GeoMagik, thanks for the quick work, PE is indeed faster and the routes (for cars at least ;-)) are spot on.I edited as a test the Nieuwendammerdijk, so there should be (after the next map update) the possibility to go both ways by bicycle. But it would be quite some work to change whole Amsterdam … It’s a problem of OSM, however. Usually you’re only allowed to go by bike in the same direction as cars, if not indicated otherwise, but as the Netherlands are much more into this sport, traffic laws may be different. Have you tried to set “pedestrian”? In your case it might give better results, if you’re allowed to go freely, just as pedestrians. This way, maybe even the ferry works (I’m at work, no iPad around to try).
MikeB, I just checked the OSM Editor, there’s no option for a different bicycle direction, so I guess it simply takes the over all one-way directions for everything except pedestrians. If you want it to work, you’d have to create a separate street, just for bicycles with no restrictions, over or aside the existing one. I made this here in my city for a bus corridor where only busses are allowed to go in the opposite direction of the other traffic. Just make sure to check that the new street is only for bicycles.
MikeB, you can export a gpx or pocket earth file from pocket earth and attach it. I’ll take a look.
MikeB, can you get a correct route at www.map.project-osrm.org? If it’s right there, OSM is OK, if not, it’s a problem of the street data, which you/we can adjust in OSM.
As I said, sometimes, everything seems right on the map, but the dots aren’t connected in the right way. Here OSM (and with this also Pocket Earth) sent me 10 km down the road because a return loop wasn’t connected the way it should be (and it took me about half an hour to figure it out, how to connect them so it would work). Same with ferries and terminal. But try it at the page cited above and post your results here.Aldwin, it’s the General Settings Application of the iPad/Pod/Phone, not the settings button in Pocket Earth.
MikeB, no, the error didn’t give any routes at all. I think your problem is a faulty map. I also corrected quite some errors in Open Street Maps, where ferry lines and the terminals weren’t properly connected (Dublin – Holyhead and Fishguard – Roslare between Wales and Ireland, for example – it always sent me north to cross to Scotland until I set it right in OSM). Also one-way streets are sometimes wrong in OSM.It took some time for me to understand to change the region format in the setting APP (as you wrote, but anyway, must be the age ;-)) and not in PE settings, but it’s working fine now and the routes are correct (had a lot of errors here in Brazil). Great app, great work! Wouldn’t go on vacations without it.
