#OpenStreetMap

Just seen interesting hashtag #DumpGoogle and following it now!
So many interesting alternatives are available for Google "services" around!
I expect this tag will explode today with posts describing this fake "Ad Privacy" move from Google, but many posts describing the alternatives will have this tag.
Another alternative service to use instead of Google Maps is #OpenStreetMap .

@synlogic you should put effort into https://www.openstreetmap.org/ instead ! #openstreetmap

et là pour définir un sous ensemble on va mettre un signe ÉGAL je sais c'est dingue mais les gens vont comprendre que ça fait sens !

#OpenStreetMap has a few “This data was last checked on $DATE” tags (e.g. `check_date`).

Shouldn't there be a “I'm a mapper, and I think someone should check the on $FUTURE_DATE”? i.e. if you think a shop will open on a date, or a road will close, or open, on another date? 🤔

ich will ja nicht meckern, aber wäre es nicht besser für den Karteneinsatz #OpenStreetMap zu nehmen anstatt Bing?

@bart I thought #OpenStreetMap does a great job of handling #cycling infrastructure, or does it have some deficiencies?

J'imaginais une idée de site pour trouver des commerces :
- je clique sur le bouton de géolocalisation sur mon mobile
- je choisis parmi une sélection de commerces, services médicaux, services publics : boulangerie, café, biblio, commissariat
- via #openstreetmap il me propose la liste des commerces à proximité, avec leurs horaires quand ils existent et la localisation sur la carte

Interface minimaliste.

En écrivant tout ça je me suis rappelé que ça existe, c'est https://osmapp.org :)

#OpenStreetMap kenne ich auch seit langem, das hätte ich sofort wiedererkannt. War was anderes (Ach, Suche... :()

In StreetComplete werde ich sogar gefragt, ob man in den Altglascontainer in der Nachbarschaft nur Flaschen einwerfen kann oder jede Art von Glas.

Number of gyms in London per 1,000 people for #MapPromptMonday Sports. Didn’t feel too inspired by the theme but always a good reason to dig into some new #OpenStreetMap data.

Guess there are more gyms in the center as some people use them in their lunch breaks? Numbers are notably higher in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.

Map made in #python using #matplotlib.

Or in this other example it's telling me to do a very bizarre long loop for a very short and simple walk. As you can see #OpenStreetMap has no problems with this route.

Very proud of my somewhat shy mum for talking to some locals in Kienitz, Brandenburg which led to her finding this genuine milk churn stand (a lot of the ones in Germany are new and only serve as memorials) in front of an abandoned house. #MilkChurnStand It's now on #wikimedia and #OpenStreetMap. 🤩

Do you fly occasionally during dusk hours and have a window seat? Then you have the potential to gather street lamp information.

Take your phone out and record the world from above.

Of course good weather conditions need to exist and aligning the gathered data with the map might have an initial learning curve.

@Wuzzy

Here in Russia I default to #YandexMaps, but it's entirely for proprietary reasons. I mean, look at just how closed off a lot of information here is! Transportation schedules are not an easy thing to come by, for some reason. Yandex's maps help me make routes I never thought of with data in their possession and even estimate the travel time.

I could only wish there was a way to transfer all this experience to #OSM #OpenStreetMap, but I see how quickly it would inflate the scope of project...

#OpenStreetMap 以前より大分使いやすくなってるな！ :tony_happy:

https://www.openstreetmap.org

I can highly recommend #OpenStreetMap by the way, I've been a heavy contributor to the map in the past but stopped because my main interest has changed.
I've spent considerable time with #JOSM, a powerful tool to edit the map.

But I am still in full support of the community map project idea and I want OSM to be used and normalized.

I don't understand why so many people still default to Google Maps or even Apple Maps.

#Google is trying again to convince you, YES YOU, to contribute for free to Google Maps.
Please don't.
It is 100% #proprietary, Google has full control over the data you added and people can only access Google Maps over proprietary channels where Google dictates the rules. This gives them too much power.

Contribute to #OpenStreetMap instead, it's a project by the community, for the community.

There's a new map style on OpenStreetMap.org! The Tracestrack Topo map from @tracestrack.

It's a mix of osm-carto and OpenTopoMap. It has many improvements: more tag support (busway, embankment, cuisine, solar plants, aquaculture, pitch, sea, tree etc.), CJK fonts, etc. There is
also better internationalisation: country specific road shields, peaks
using imperial system in the US, hierarchical place rendering in China, etc.

Are there any #OpenStreetMap routing APIs that allow me to query and get the distance between two postcodes by roads suitable for Heavy Goods Vehicles and avoiding tolls? I'm aware Google has one, but I'd like to support an open project if possible, especially if it has a paid API.

Example why open source funding is fucked up: Apple, Microsoft and Facebook all use #OpenStreetmap Data for their stuff. But they don’t donate enough money to keep it working. They rely on donations by us. Why?

TIL: the #OSM `waterway=fairway` tag: “a navigable route in a body of water such as a lake or sea”.

It's not a “way along which water flows”, but how you can go along water. Add that to another one of the “confusingly named waterways”. I found it when looking for long unnamed `waterways` in #OpenStreetMap

OSM Tag: <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway=fairway>
Unnamed waterways in OSM: <https://amandasaurus.github.io/osm-river-basins/#map=5.14/55.233/12.262&tiles=planet-waterway-noname>

The new #OpenStreetMap server's name is Piasa, because the OSMF names its servers for dragons, because “there be dragons”. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piasa> Piasa cost the OSMF €3,846.

If you're using Geofabrik's Alps OpenStreetMap data, you'll notice a change on 25th Sept. We're improving the area that's included. 🙂

13/ The great thing about #OpenStreetMap: OSM is a database, not a map. If you disagree with the OSMF's view you are free to take a copy, and use it to make maps showing the world the way you think it should be - whatever your view.

Several local OSM communities do this.

some years ago I saw an achademic paper arguing that from a couple of simple indices you can draw a pretty effective estimation of energy costs of a piece of real estate property

and the simple data were

1) the position on the map (and exposition to the sun, ect)

2) the material the building is made of

3) the number of dwelling units the building contains

I'd love to find that paper again, as it may be useful/fun to map some of these data in the place where I live
