OpenStreetMap community

Blitzer.de Pro App is the bestseller App in German Play Store. The Update now features OpenStreetMap Slippy Map to show crowdsourced speed cameras, constructions, road closures and traffic jams. The App even has an OpenStreetMap based Navigation System.

1 Million people in Germany can now see and use OpenStreetMap Data in their App. This is a huge success and a breakthrough for OpenStreetMap adaption.

Unfortunately the app does not mention the Copyright yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Edit: Imagine Google streetview for OpenStreetMap, this is Panoramax. https://panoramax.fr/ https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Panoramax

The free alternative to photo-mapping territories Panoramax is a digital resource for sharing and exploiting field photos. Anyone can take photographs of places visible from the public highway and contribute them to the Panoramax database. This data is then freely accessible and reusable by all.

During State of Panoramax panel at State of the Map France 2024, they announced a alpha/beta version for Android Panoramax application. Apk for android is available with the link and will be published on PlayStore and F-Droid. iOS users don't worry a version will be available too.

Since my last anti-war post (in the broad, global, universal sense; and narrow sense of our project) had been included some comments about the dove, I've created an orthodox version a'la Pablo Picasso from 1949 😁 Whoever wants it, can use it! (I must say in general that the OSM logo is outstanding in its universality - and this magnifying glass as a symbol of search - sweetness 🍯💪 ). @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml @openstreetmap

I'm seeing fake roads everywhere, and the map looks like a spider's web.

It's like this on every website that displays the cycleOSM layer: the official cycleOSM site, Openstreetmap, brouter, etc.

I downloaded a map from geofabrik.de and got it as a pbf can I somehow convert it to a PDF. Or is there a website where you can download OpenStreetMap as a PDF.

I stumpled upon an unmaintained list of used shop=* tags for Germany. Link: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Germany/Shops

Since there is https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org there is no need to have this page anymore, which is not updated since several years.

Anybody knows how to delete a page?

It improved slightly with opengl but it's still very slow to render offline maps after years.

Just wanted to share this since I didn't find anything on lemmy about this. It's a pretty cool open-source project that I got introduced to while investigating a google maps / mapbox open-source alternatives for globe representation on the web.

Sorry if it doesn't fit into this community - didn't find a better community to post this and the sidebar says "OSM related software" posts are ok.

Here is a link to their website with examples: https://www.openglobus.org/

Presentation (in German) about OpenRailwayMap at GPN (Gulaschprogrammiernacht).

Answers accepted until June 6th. Gifts (a few months of osmand pro will be distributed by June 10th. Please, share among community!

I’m referring to the advertising/digital display. I thought of using man_made=advertising + advertising=* but not of the examples on the wiki seemed to match very well.

EDIT:

I feel like an idiot for missing this but I found advertising=screen (1) after posting this

EDIT 2: Fixed the examples link

Edit: the problem is gone, i assume it was a buggy track. The problem exists with the versio 4.7.10, from 24.04.24, which is the version that is recommended by fdroid. It is gone in the latest one from 14.05.24

I updated osmand to 4.7.10 yesterday and now it seems like the little info widget on the bottom screen shows elevation (i assume), relative to the whole track, not the 10km that are currently shown in the widget. Cannot find anything in the settings. In the what's new it said they did some changes to the graphs but i could not make sense of it.

Does anybody know how i can set it back to the way it used to be, as in relative to current section of the track?

We are bringing @openstreetmap to #Wikimedia East, Southeast Asia & Pacific (ESEAP) 2024! 🗺️✈️🌏🇲🇾

Join us on Sunday, 12 May, 11AM at Mahua 1 Room to learn how to map in #openstreetmap + link #wikidata!

Full program here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP\_Conference\_2024/Programme

Recently the city redesigned the street and prepared at least 4 bus stops. The stops all have the road markings and tactile paving, etc. but no bus stop signs yet and currently no line stops there. (There is an ongoing reorganization of bus lines in my area.)

The wiki page describes how to map a bus stop and I can follow along. Everything except the line(s) and the names is local knowledge.

How should those be mapped (if at all)? Map what’s known already and add construction:bus_stop?

StreetComplete is an easy to use editor of OpenStreetMap data available for Android. It can be used without any OpenStreetMap-specific knowledge. It asks simple questions, with answers directly used to edit and improve OpenStreetMap data. The app is aimed at users who do not know anything about OSM tagging schemes but still want to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

To connect simply run:

shell telnet mapscii.me

I wonder how many I have already mapped.

Pretty cool idea by using open street maps you can download the location you want and play the game there, defend your neighborhood or loot your house.

The reviews seem decent but mention it needs a lot of tweaking as it just released on early access, like water not affecting where zombies can walk or elevation not being a thing.

Maybe this can get some more people interested in mapping

Convert your OpenStreetMap-based application links into Google Maps, Apple Maps or other links (and vice versa) without having to use proprietary software!

osm2gmaps converts links from applications like Organic Maps or OSMand to proprietary maps links, like Google Maps or Apple Maps. Just copy the link and share it to osm2gmaps or copy and paste it inside the app, it will automatically convert the link to your chosen type and copy it to the clipboard.

I thought I’d share this Mastodon bot - @SmallTownUSA - here as I’ve found it great fun.

> Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org

I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

I would like to use openstreetmap as replacement for google maps (on web) However default nominatim doesn't generally give correct address (when searched for POI). Is there way to change nominatim provider?

Organic Maps is available on Linux! It's on flatpak and several package repos (but not apt). I don't know how long it's been there — I just discovered it.

The splash screen cautions that this Linux beta doesn't have parity with the mobile apps yet, but it's still a huge leap over Gnome Maps. Vector rendering, so you can zoom in as far as you want, and free / open source / not shitty (notwithstanding the big scary EULA, which just contains all the OSS licenses for all the pieces).

Where is it coming from? Are there other open sources of map data?

I've seen multiple mapping websites that provide business solutions that seemed to be sourcing their data from OSM. However, when I zoom in to known problem areas, I find a lot more detail. They're not getting it from Google, Bing, or Apple, and I find it implausible that these small specialized companies are sinking tens of thousands of hours into adding fine map detail. So where are they getting it? If it is open source is there a way to merge it back into OSM?

For example this website, maptiler, cites open street map as their source. Compare it with the official site. I have found multiple examples of the same thing. Can anyone explain to me what's going on here?

Crowdworked mapping: more fun in #OpenStreetMap! 🗺️ 🫶

Traveled back to my home court #UPLB to bring the great news of #opendata #foss4g to young leaders! Grateful for the opportunity 🙏🏼🙏🏼

thank you besh @dfeyeandal for coming with! New #youthmappers chapter, yeah? 😉✊🏼❤️‍🔥
