Change USFS Roads background imagery

[Glassman]

The current background imagery provided by RichardF has an opaque background. New imagery is available with a transparent background making tracing more accurate. I did discuss this with Richard. He is okay with making the change. I was going to edit the wiki to change the entry but I don't have permissions.

I will attached a file with the new entries. This is the first time I tried to create a data url for a icon. I used site ​http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data to create the base64 data.

wiki text for new background

[stoecker]

You have rights to change that. What message do you get so that you assumed you have no rights?

[Glassman]

I don't see an edit option on the page. Reading the wiki, it said that not all pages are editable by everyone. I assumed that the map page was one of those.

[stoecker]

No. Even an anonymous user can edit these pages. Did you scroll down to the bottom? Which page are we talking about?

[Don-vip]

Maps/USA#U.S.ForestServiceroads I guess?

[stoecker]

Replying to Don-vip:

Maps/USA#U.S.ForestServiceroads I guess?

I fear it is maps, that's why I asked :-)

Please minify the png file before you convert it to base64, see wiki:Help/Base64

[Glassman]

I found the edit button - I can't believe I missed that. After minifying the png file, the wiki page has be updated.

[Klumbumbus]

The both sources are very different. We should better add both instead to "misuse" one entry.

We have now 3 URLs under (nearly) the same name, but which show quite different data, i.e. (partly) other roads are displayed:

overwritten in josm and still in ELI

https://osm.cycle.travel/forest/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

now in josm

https://{switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles.mapbox.com/styles/v1/glassman/cjfflyvqf16hu2rnq6bk3yi4t/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}@2x?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZ2xhc3NtYW4iLCJhIjoiRjk3dWdwYyJ9.Tg_fMJWxygeKBgVTrZHmGA

added in ELI

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/glassman/cjf4qjmps0tgv2qpahj977mvz/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZ2xhc3NtYW4iLCJhIjoiRjk3dWdwYyJ9.Tg_fMJWxygeKBgVTrZHmGA

Glassman, could you please clarify this?

[stoecker]

@Glassman

Can you please comment?

[Glassman]

@Klumbumbus - thanks for pointing pointing out the difference. You are correct - the url I provided was for USFS Trails. I wasn't planning on publishing that one quite yet. I've updated the Wiki.

@stoecker - thanks for the reminder.

[Klumbumbus]

Ok, now we have a fourth URL:
https://{switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles.mapbox.com/styles/v1/glassman/cjf4qjmps0tgv2qpahj977mvz/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZ2xhc3NtYW4iLCJhIjoiRjk3dWdwYyJ9.Tg_fMJWxygeKBgVTrZHmGA

But I suppose that could be merged with

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/glassman/cjf4qjmps0tgv2qpahj977mvz/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZ2xhc3NtYW4iLCJhIjoiRjk3dWdwYyJ9.Tg_fMJWxygeKBgVTrZHmGA

(only {switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles. vs. api.)

The problem right now is that I get only grey tiles from both URLs. arrrhhh... can't updating imagery entries be quick and simple only once? 😫

Finally this is fixed after a few last adjustments:

• wiki:Maps/USA?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&action=diff&version=97&old_version=95&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=
• wiki:ImageryCompareIgnores?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&action=diff&version=428&old_version=426&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=
