I live on one of the rivers in the list and it would be a great help to know when flooding is on the way.

I haven’t worked with Python on Windows, so I don’t have any installation recommendations. I’ve generated KML output for Poland though and have placed them here: http://www2.adamfranco.com/curvature/kml/europe/

Enjoy!

That is something I’ve been thinking of for the last year, but don’t have enough programming knowledge to do it. This looks perfect. Unfortunatelly I cannot use your solution as the imposm parser is not avaliable for Windows. Any suggestions on what to do in this case. Alternatively, maybe you could simply parse the Poland OSM, so that before the next motorcycle season I have a nice database of places to visit :) ?Link to OSM is here: http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/eastern_europe/poland#downloads_breadcrumbs.

Cheers

]]> Comment on Vermont to Michigan on a motorcycle by Roland Pfitzenmaier http://www.adamfranco.com/2012/07/13/vermont-to-michigan-on-a-motorcycle/#comment-1804 Roland Pfitzenmaier Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:43:08 +0000 http://www.adamfranco.com/?p=669#comment-1804 Hi Adam,
with great pleasure i read your adventures on this 1000 mile motorcycle trip. By the way, using a BMW always is adventurous :-) (Sorry for that, Ed). In Germany it is a runnig gag amongst motorcyclists to tease BMW-riders for the “non-reliability” of their bikes. Thats mainly because BMWs are extremely expensive, compared with the others like the Japanese brands or even Triumph. So every little thing that happens on a BMW is a reason for a joke, although it could happen and happens on every other motorcycle, too.
The landscape you are travelling looks a lot like the south of Sweden, the similarity is astounding. It was a good idea to avoid the main routes, it is simply more fun and you see and feel much more.
Originally i wanted to visit my uncle in Philadelphia this year, but the health of my mom decreases, she has Alzheimer, and it is difficult for me to plan further ahead. I have applied for support of our “Pflegekasse” (there is no english word for that), which is a part of our health care system. My mom will be examined by a doctor, and dependig on that examination you get up to 1600 Dollars a month support for medication, food and nursing at home. Thats a great help, but its also a long lasting procedure until you get it (up to 3 months), so at the earliest in November i will know how to go on. But one day surely i will make it to visit you, there are only 7 years since we met the last time :-)
Have a good time in your holidays, very best wishes to you and the rest of your family
Sincerely yours
Roland

I love this! Just wondering if there is a way to have it convert flickr Galleries into kml? I have a great gallery of photos in my town taken by different people I would love to show on a map. Thanks!
