I was searching for an #googlemaps alternative for rating places but based #openstreetmap data
For example the Eifel Tower:
maps.app.goo.gl/9fxtCpPF8WB71Z…
A friend told me about #mapy that does pretty the same with OSM data.
Ofc it is not used that much in comparison to gmaps:
mapy.com/s/kelazoboma
Even if this is a company driven service, I will give it a try.
Do you know about other tools to cover this part of #googlemaps ?
A bit of #unplugtrump might also be a valid reason here.
Hi @MapComplete !
I'm little confused with this... maybe you can help!
I've created a node for Madrid Rural Lab SIERRA NORTE using the Hackerspaces and makerspaces layer two months ago.
mapcomplete.org/hackerspaces.h…
I see in my changeset in #openstreetmap
openstreetmap.org/changeset/16…
but just in that map or any #OSM web map with any tile it's not shown.
In @organicmaps it's shown while I can't see the photo.
Looking for other makerspace, not edited by me, seems to be same problem
openstreetmap.org/node/1230122…
Maybe OSM does not show #makerspaces? Or maybe we are making some mistake editing?

It took almost 9.5 years to make 20,000 edits with OsmAnd for OpenStreetMap. Thanks to Quick Action it has recently become easier and faster. But since the introduction of Streetcomplete and especially Mapcomplete, I've been mapping a little less with OsmAnd lately. Let's see how long I need for the next 10,000.

@pietervdvn thanks for broadcasting this, just the right activity for a lazy afternoon. I came across a problem immediately though, be glad if a more experienced mapper could help - if I know the aircraft to be a replica, do I tag it as the original type, even though technically it's not?
Allright, I'm taking the bait...
Any #aviation and enthusiasts around here? For all the _red_ circles, we don't know (yet) what the #aircraft type is. You can easily link the correct wikidata entry (but you need an #OpenStreetMap account)
Or if you live closeby, you can actually add a picture #aviationPhotography
mapcomplete.org/theme.html?z=1…
Maybe @Aviation_Librarian or @cvvhrn or their followers can help out?

As a demonstration of the power of OpenStreetMap and links into things like Wikidata, I present my DecomissionedAircraftMap. It pulls geodata for displayed aircraft from OpenStreetMap and generates thumbnails from linked Wikidata entries.
Feel free to link some more, the bot pulls new thumbnails once a day.

@MapComplete permet de relier @osm_fr et @panoramax très facilement.
On sélectionne un objet présent dans #OpenStreetMap qu'on peut compléter entre autre en lui ajoutant une photo.
Cette photo est partagée directement sur #Panoramax et un tag panoramax=* est ajouté sur l'objet OSM pour faire le lien.
La carte ci-dessous est faite sur @umap et utilise #Overpass pour afficher les objets OSM avec leur photo associée. #NoCode
umap.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/p…
This is a proof of concept of integration between OpenStreetMap and Panoramax. panoramax tag is used to get the corresponding picture on OSM-FR server.uMap
I knew @MapComplete could add ratings to Mangrove Reviews...but YIL it can add reviews too! (The OSM POI search on Mangrove Reviews' own site is mysteriously broken.)
In future mapping parties we're _so_ going to be using this to add reviews of the places we eat at! Heck, I've already asked participants of the last two parties to add them 🙂

Struggling to make the world a better place? Then how about improving the map of the world by participating in #openstreetmap ?
It's like #wikipedia just for maps. It provides a free and open-source alternative to Google Maps. I use it with #osmandapp for car navigation.
The easiest way to participate is probably with streetcomplete.app
No prior knowledge necessary.
The app guides you to complete missing map data by little quests. Careful though: it's very addictive.
So for some reason I'd like to know how long it takes to drive from Bayreuth to Cologne and I want to use alternatives to #GoogleMaps in #Germany.
#osmapp doesn't find Bayreuth even.
#MapCarta does better, but doesn't know Köln, the German name of Cologne. Think normal users, not nerds – they won't know the English names of these German cities that have English names, at least not of smaller ones.
#OpenStreetMap.de can do it.
However, openstreetmap.de does not have any sweet scraped meta data such as opening hours of places, or photos.
It's going to be a long way to a good Google Maps replacement.
When you upload a picture, this picture is blurred by the blurring service by the French #OpenStreetMap-community.
There was a small #outage today, causing uploaded images to stay in "the server is processing your images". This has now been resolved; images you've uploaded earlier today should now appear as normal.
Thank you for your patience!

#Mapycz (now #Mapycom) from #Seznam use #OpenStreetMap everywhere except their home country - Czech Republic, where they have their own proprietary maps.
There have been rumours in the #OSM community that they actually copy from OSM. Today I found proof that they really do.
I mapped a new park in #Brno just by surveying and taking notes last year. Later the park showed up on Mapy.com with exactly the same path layout. The new orthophoto is out and it revealed that I didn't get everything right and Seznam got it wrong too. Exactly the same mistakes.
Not cool, Seznam.

#OpenStreetMap hat ein ähnliches Problem wie #Mastodon / #Fediverse aus Sicht des naiven Users: Die Pluralität der Server.
Zwar gibt es OpenStreetMap.org als Anlaufstelle, aber dann gibt's zig Websites und Apps, die sogar besser sind, aber wie finde ich die jetzt?
Man weiß nicht, wohin.
Ich habe vergessen, eine Buchmarke zu setzen. Da gab's doch mal so eine Variante mit Metadaten-Ansicht links in so einer Sidebar, die war so mehr wie Google Maps.
Tag 22 im Fediverse - Schau was flattert da in mein E-Mail-Postfach.
Ich oute mich jetzt hier: Ich habe bislang ziemlich viel zu Google Maps beigetragen, weil ich ein großer Fan davon bin, meine Erkenntnisse, Fotos und Informationen mit anderen zu teilen. 🙈
Künftig möchte ich auch hier etwas neues ausprobieren. Gerade habe ich die App "StreetComplete" entdeckt, mit der ich wohl ziemlich einfach zu OpenStreetmap beitragen kann. Gibts im Playstore und auch bei F-Droid.
Ich schaue mal noch, wo ich Renzensionen, Fotos etc. jetzt hinpacke, bin noch am Einarbeiten in OpenStreetmap und freue mich auch auf vielleicht ganz andere Dienste, die da noch auf Ihre Entdeckung warten.
Habt Ihr spannende Tipps, wo ihr etwas beitragt?

🌏 This Wednesday almost 40 mappers joined a mapathon in Prague. They added more than 2300 buildings into #OpenStreetMap in Bamyan province, Afghanistan, where #msf teams are supporting local communities. Big thank you to all the mappers and organizers for their contributions! 👏
👉 Take a look at some pictures from the event
@april Under 'menu' -> 'download' there are various download options to further process the data; you can embed mapcomplete in an iFrame or create another mapcomplete theme which shows this layer together with other layers.
As usual, all the data is from/goes to #OpenStreetMap, so you are free to reuse the data.
Summer 24 somewhere in Sweden.
After a delicious dinner, we went for a digestive walk with the midnightsun and making some survey. Of course I used the Osmand app with Quick Action function, Streetcomplete and took pictures with Mapcomplete.

Hi dear #OpenStreetMap -community! I made a #tagging #proposal to tag grab rails (aka grab bars, handrails, support brackets) in #wheelchair #accessible toilets and I'm searching feedback.
I'd appreciate your feedback: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pr…
@alan
This screenshot it's in other browser in Android. Instead at Firefox in laptop. So does not seem a cache problem.
Did noticed that it shows Sal Y Canela restaurant with their correct name I've fixed some minutes ago. It was Canela y Sal and I've edited at #openstreetmap website.
So maybe it's only a problem with removed places.
Hi, @MapComplete !
I'm checking the Restaurants and fast food in my area and noted that it's very outdated vs #OpenStreetMap data.
mapcomplete.org/food.html?z=17…
openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.7…
There shows two restaurants that I removed some months ago and lacks another added about one month ago.
Could be something at my side or map items are updated from time to time?
When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1
I can only recommend just getting started.

This first try at getting a "Wayside Shrines" layer onto @MapComplete seems not bad!
(So far the denominations-setting is absolutely incomplete, as not even a fraction of the Christian denominations are there, but oh well, good enough as a proof of concept)
mapcomplete.org/theme.html?z=1…
MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.mapcomplete.org
So, I started making my first little @MapComplete layer to be able to add wayside shrines & images of them to OSM.
The "MapComplete Studio" worked well enough to create the necessary JSON for the layer, but is the process to get it onto MapComplete generally just to make a PR? Or is there a way to get it into the system without that step?
Máte pár minut volného času, který byste chtěli věnovat na věc sloužící všem? Upravujte #OpenStreetMap ve svém okolí, je to snadnější než tušíte.
Velké firmy jako #SeznamCZ vzali kdysi z OSM vše dostupné (#mapy_cz) a do OSM přestali přispívat.
Je spousta příležitostí, co v OSM aktualizovat: přidat nový obchod, upravit otevírací dobu, přidat odkaz na homepage úřadu, atd. To vše jsou velmi jednoduché kroky v pohodlném online editoru.

I made a crowdsourced map for climbing stuff once. If there is a shoe shop, you can mark if they do repair climbing shoes as well: mapcomplete.org/climbing?z=13.…
Feel free to add your favourite repair shops too; it is all based (and saved into) #OpenStreetMap
On this map you will find various climbing opportunities such as climbing gyms, bouldering halls and rocks in naturemapcomplete.org

#Panoramax - das neue #StreetView!
Vor einigen Jahren wurde #Mapillary an #Meta verkauft. Und auch #Google StreetView möchte vielleicht nicht jeder nutzen.
Mit Panoramax gibt es nun eine #FOSS Alternative. Sie soll dezentral organisiert werden. Dies ist meines Wissens die erste Instanz:
panoramax.openstreetmap.fr
Kleiner Tipp:
Falls man das AdOn #ClearURLs verwendet, kommt man eventuell über die Animation wegen Blockierung von ETags nicht hinaus. Deshalb nutze ich Panoramax als #Firefox-PWA am Desktop.
L'instance Panoramax d'OpenStreetMap France, permet la publication de photos de terrain pour cartographie les territoires.panoramax.openstreetmap.fr
@pa27
First of all, @panoramax is a very young project, so coverage is quite small. Only in #France - where the project started - there is significant coverage.
Because it is federated and self-hostable, it was a fitting solution to host the images that people take when contributing to #OpenStreetMap with #MapComplete
About the 'WebGL': MapLibre depends on it to render the maps. Some browsers do block #webGL to resist fingerprinting. You might be able to enable it per website.
