A small Belgian NGO has collected data about bicycle parkings, but they now want to import their bicycle parking data into #OpenStreetMap

Care to help a bit? It is a big game of geo-sleuthing ;)

It can be done by:

1. Open mapcomplete.org/velopark
2. Search a yellow icon - it is a bicycle parking to import
3. Figure out if it still exists and where exactly it is located
4. Link or create a new bicycle parking
5. Update attributes

Rinse and repeat! Happy mapping and thanks for helping!

is it intentional that the 'sidebar' is taking up most of the viewport instead of being a sidebar? part of me thinks if this could hinder with people looking around on the map to check other parkings nearby

I do sure miss OSM Conflator / CF Audit days where this was just one click per parking, with all the data presented on screen...
Conflation Audit screenshot. Title says, "Update tags on a point". By tags, it's a Shell fuel station, already mapped on OSM. It proposes to add three tags: brand=Shell, opening_hours=24/7, and a phone. There are three buttons: "Good", "Don't Change", and "Skip". To the right, there are two maps: one with an OSM background, and another with Bing imagery. On both there are two markers very close to each other: green and faint blue.

@zverik Looks interesting as well, but a stretch to let MapComplete handle this as well.

@CjMalone The mapcomplete-velopark theme uses MapRoulette as backend to keep track of the tasks

is this an official import/organized editing? Only asking because I saw recently some people groaning and moaning about MapRoulette to verify or add crosswalks being accused of breaking norms and rules of that, but seems it's the same workflow

@InsertUser In the best case, yes! However; that is very hard to do. In practice, I usually inspect current aerial imagery, check old imagery if the area has changed and have a look to mapillary. That is often enough to figure out what the current situation is.

And I sometimes had cases where someone actually added a picture with mapcomplete before :)
