Emacs and OSM (Open Street Maps) are a natural match, so it just makes sense they work very well together out of the box.
Built-in search function, zooming in and out, and org-mode links with a single keystroke to locations. Amazing. If you’re an Emacs user, grab it now!
GNU ELPA - osm:
TIL, you can use the - & + keys on OpenStreetMap.org to zoom the map in & out. (shift - & shift + to zoom in/out quicker) 😍 ⌨
(technically the = key on my keyboard works as + here, so use = to zoom in)
Hi, I'm making good on my #Day3 map challenge to update stables in my area on #OpenStreetMap. It is extremely undermapped. 🐎 Any recommendations for Android based editors? I'm thinking Vespucci.
TIA.

Le tag OSM du jour : public_transport=station 🗺️🏷️

okay ive been thinking about this for a long time for #OSM
the tag tactile_paving = incorrect
is an incredibly non descriptive tag
I've seen tactile paving that is non standard, that exists but is likely useless for what it's designed for because of a bad design, that lacks high constrast, that faces the wrong direction, that isn't consistent, etc.. And then combined with oftentimes the issue is different on each side of a crossing in the case of a crossing.
the tag "incorrect" is meant to denote these kind of situations, but it's frustratingly non descriptive
@Cameleopard @cmgrowell @glightly I started to play with @streetcomplete this past week and there are a bunch of details it'll suggest you add about sidewalks and crossings to make #OSM more detailed on accessibility
It also highlights some projects that use the data like https://wheelmap.org

@dw_innovation hi! Incidentally I gave two talks at CCC, one about advanced #OSM usage and one about #OSINT, which also features exactly what you're doing with this tool (using an example from one of Julia's quiztime posts ;) I regularly do this kind of research using overpass.
This tool sounds great! Are you aware there's a very similar tool from @Bellingcat? https://github.com/bellingcat/osm-search

Do you have concrete questions? The question is quite broad here.
#foss mostly relies on donations. Compared to what you have paid for software that you actually buy, how much money do you give in #donations? (Only software projects please, excluding charities and other projects such as #fsf #Wikipedia / #OSM etc.)
Please consider boosting, thank you.
@opencage Thx. Done. #OpenStreetMap is indeed a more popular tag than #OSM.
(3/3) So are there any #OSM experts out there, per chance?
We'd love to hear from you! ❤️
For more info, check out our #paper on this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.08093

Now in order to come up with better *Spot* results, we need people who know the #OSM tag #database really well – and can help us navigate it in an efficient way.

we need your expertise and support:
As you may have heard, we're working on several tools to counter #disinfo and facilitate #verification.
One of them is called *Spot*. It's basically an AI-driven natural language interface for geospatial searches in #OpenStreetMap (#OSM).

We mapped more than 11 thousand bulidings in Homa Bay county, Kenya, but more importantly, around 100 people learned about Humanitarian mapping.

@jpl @MadameAurelia @juergenHB Danke für den Hinweis! Ich hab heute keine Sirenen bewusst wahrgenommen; und ich wusste auch nicht, dass es jetzt jeden ersten Samstag im Monat einen Sirenentest in #Bremen geben soll.
Witzig: laut https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1EdH sind bei #OpenStreetMap überall rund um Bremen Sirenen eingetragen, aber ausgerechnet in Bremen selbst steht da keine einzige :-D Entweder sind diese #OSM-Daten für Bremen sehr unvollständig, oder Bremen ist echt schlecht sirenifiziert.

Prompted by a donation request in my email inbox from my local library -
I see the "Help support OSM" banner every time I go to add a business / address to #OSM, and at this point I'm tempted to use uBlock Origin to block it.
But I won't - not until I set a recurring donation. Because it's an annoying nag, but I also legitimately wish I could donate financially, and I'm worried I'll forget if I block the banner client-side :(

#OpenStreetMap question: Does anyone have any pointers where I could learn more about the tagging of rivers in #Japan? (Unfortunately, I don’t speak Japanese). Looks like there was an #OpenData import that tagged too many features as "rivers" that should probably be “streams”, causing Japan to have way too much waterway density.
Here are screenshots of #Tokyo, Seattle, and Zurich all at zoom 10, showing how Japan has way more rivers than you'd expect at this zoom level.



this is taking way too long
i should probably just bite the bullet and manually download #osm.pbf files from #bbbike, instead of getting the smallest extent matching a #gtfs feed from #geofabrik and then cropping it down with #osmosis
i was just trying to avoid having to manually match up osm files and gtfs feeds for each of my case studies. just wanted to be let the script figure it out based on the gtfs stop locations...

@krakenbuerger Interesting, I am not sure if I get your point. But at least in the Geospatial Open Source and Open Data space we have (from my perception) quite strong and professional networks/organizations like @FOSSGISeV which is the local chapter of @osgeo and of course the more grasroots #OSM movement. In Germany the local OSM chapter is also the FOSSGIS e.V., so there are strong ties between companies, researchers, public administration and civic scientists/volunteers and users.

Yes, the "Street" in OSM is historical and rather wrong now. We can't rename it to OpenMap?
There are a lot of trademarks, no-one knows the meaning: RTL BVB ...
So it's no problem to use "OSM" without referencing to the full name.
We should split our appearance. Two different Web portals with different functions:

#OSM.org - for the Map/Data users
