Special:Mapsources

Swept in from the pub

Is anyone else seeing problems with special:mapsources (bugzilla:44047)? This used to work but I now just get "Map sources mechanism not working yet". K7L (talk) 05:32, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

From where are you calling it? Appears to be working from the globe icon at top of location pages. Have made some changes to geo templates recently maybe we broke something else.--Traveler100 (talk) 05:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm calling it from {{listing}}. There is an example in the template's documentation. The globe icon at the top of pages uses geohack, not Special:Mapsources, so is unaffected. K7L (talk) 13:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks like Project:Map Sources needed to be moved to Project:Map sources. Now it works again. K7L (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

biking maps

Swept in from the pub

I'm working on adding biking maps in rural areas of Kitsap County but I'm having a hard time finding sources for non-copyrighted materials. There are lots of great maps out there but they are all on commercial sites. Any ideas? --Lumpytrout (talk) 16:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Try wikipedia:OpenStreetMap. And also see Wikivoyage:Mapmaking Expedition and Wikivoyage:How to draw a map. —Ruud 16:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Actually I'm making one myself right now. If you go to openstreetmap, click the 'layer icon' (3 gray squares drawn in perspective) in the upper right corner, you can select a 'cycling map' as number two option.

Unfortunantly on street level in cities it sucks, so I'm making one from scrath for central copenhagen, any ideas on how to best map streets with cycle tracks in a way that best fits our template? Sertmann (talk) 17:09, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
