Fwd: [OSM-talk] uMap 0.3.0 released

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

This might interest some people on these lists (that are not subscribed to talk@ or dev@).

I think umap is a much needed missing piece for making it easy to create customized OSM-based "my maps".

The instances at openstreetmap.fr and fluv.io are great for those of us (Iike me) who are not able to install umap for themselves.

Big thanks for Yohan for developing this!

Cheers,

-Jaakko

Hi open world family,

I've frozen a 0.3.0 version of uMap [1] (including new versions of the Leaflet plugin [2] and the Django app [3]).


Here are the main entries of the changelog:

* possibility to create map without being authenticated

This option has to be activated per uMap instance (at the moment, it's active on http://umap.fluv.io but not on http://umap.openstreetmap.fr for example).
Once the map created "anonymously", a cookie allow the owner to edit it later, and a "secret edit URL" is provided, that allow to enter the edit mode again, from another computer or if the cookie is lost

* first version of an export data possibility ; for now, only GeoJSON is available.

* first version of import from CSV

* autocompletion for managing map editors
* possibility to display map caption on load
* possibility to import from a copy/paste in a textarea
* Update to Leaflet 0.6 and Leaflet.draw 0.2
* Update to Django 1.5
* Portuguese translation (thanks to @FranciscoDS)
* new custom icons
* localization of URLs
* partial Spanish and Dutch translations
* bug fixes as usual (title too longs creating a buggy slug; category colors not displayed in caption/credit box; managing color buggy in Chrome on windows...)


Current known public instances:
- http://umap.fluv.io (demo site, not backuped, use it for testing)
- http://umap.openstreetmap.fr (backuped, feel free to use it for production needs)
- http://umap.openstreetmap.org.ar (still in 0.2.0 at the moment)

If you plan to set up an instance, feel free to ask for help, I will provide it with pleasure :)


As always:
- feedback welcome
- feature requests welcome
- pull requests welcome
- translations welcome
- new instances welcome (the more instances, the less centralization, the better)


Thanks for your feedback,


Yohan

I second the export/print importance and would love to see a PDF export possibility. .. But I also know that it's a one-man effort (at least until now). So, big thanks to ybon for having pulled all this together already!

I assume that as always with FOSS projects: bug reports, suggestions and requests -- and especially patches -- are welcomed?

Hey Jaakko,

 

Thanks for passing this along. I couldn’t agree more that Umap starts to fill an urgently needed “missing piece” : custom OSM-based cartography for non-GISers.

 

The current incarnation is looking stronger than 0.2. Still some buttons and interfaces clearly built by nerds, for nerds, but overall I like where this is going.

 

One big missing element I see is the export to PNG / JPEG. Web maps are all nice and fine, but print is still hugely important, particularly in low-bandwidth enviroments.
