Hello peuple d'#OSM, si y'a des gens partants pour faire un projet du mois sur les écoles on peut faire ça, on était deux ou trois motivés pour avancer sur ce sujet ici:
Where have you spotted, printed, #OpenStreetMap in the wild? Here is one of my favourites, #Föli bus stop information. They have been using it for years now. #turku #finland @openstreetmap

Menstrual products can now be tagged in #OpenStreetMap 🎉
The vote went through and the proposal was accepted! If you encounter a toilet that has menstrual products available (or if you want to document the lack thereof) you can now use
PS: In theory this was possible before but the approved proposal is a way of the community to find a consensus on how to tag. The new tag is now documented and can be included in survey tools like #StreetComplete
- #ski pistes - #aerialways - 3D-visualisation of the terrain - various useful POI, such as #guideposts, information boards, #restaurants mountain #rescue stations, ...
All data is of course based on #OpenStreetMap (with the addition of height data and aerial imagery of course)
This might or might not be created because @pietervdvn went #skiing last week ;)
Yesterday, I reached the point of 1,000,000 map changes and 20,000 changesets on #OpenStreetMap. It made me pause for a second and I wrote down a few thoughts in a diary entry entitled "What is OpenStreetMap, really?": openstreetmap.org/user/L'imagi…
Looking forward to hearing your comments on it! Keep on mapping!
I used to like the original FourSquare. The "mayor" stuff was a bit silly, and my friends never left that many reviews, but I loved being able to signal to my friends "I am at this cool museum" or "We're at this pub if you want to meet" or "Spending the day at the park".
So, is there a way to recreate that early Web 2.0 experience with open data and ActivityPub? Let's find out!
This quest is divided into two parts.
Get nearby "Points of Interest" (POI) from OpenStreetMap.
As you can see, it has highlighted some useful areas - a pharmacy and a pub. But it has ignored other useful locations - the train station and the park. It has also included some things that we may not want - bike parking and a taxi rank.
What API call is needed to get useful locations of of OverPass?
It's possible to specify the type of thing to find using nw["amenity"="restaurant"]; - but adding every single type of thing would quickly end up with a very large query containing hundreds of types.
It is also possible to exclude specific types of places. This retrieves all amenities except for fast food joints:
Perhaps one solution is just to return everything and let the user decide if they want to check in to a telephone kiosk or a fire hydrant? That's a bit user-hostile.
That gets everything which has a name, but isn't a highway or railway or waterway or powerline. It isn't perfect - but it will do!
This is the query which will retrieve the 25 nearest things within 100 metres of a specific latitude and longitude. It includes the name and any other tags, the location, and the OSM ID.
It is worth noting that Mastodon doesn't (natively) support location - if you view my repost of that PixelFed post you'll see there's no location metadata attached. That's OK! It just means that the status needs to include human-readable data.
Similarly, Mastodon doesn't support the arrive vocabulary. So this will be limited to a message with a location attached.
Building a web site which gets the user's location is easy.
Getting the data from OverPass should be straightforward.
Creating an ActivityPub server which can post geotagged notes into the Fediverse might be a little beyond my skillset! Some testing with Darius Kazemi's AP Glitch suggests this should work.
Does someone of the #cyclist community of #NYC know who maintains (orbmaintained) ghostbikes.org ? It seems somewhat unmaintained and I'd like to convergence them with #OpenStreetMap (esp with mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes ) #ghostbike
With the news that Google is going to "supercharge" Maps with "AI" (and the poor results I've had with Apple Maps), I finally checked out OpenStreetMap: openstreetmap.org/
OMG THIS IS AMAZING. So much more useful detail! Incredible! Going to dig up an app for my phone and use this for a while to see how it compares to the ad- and AI-ridden nonsense.
Do you use the OSM API directly? Make an OSM App? We're dropping support for certain insecure, legacy authentication methods. If you're using them in your app, it risks breaking! _(If this is gibberish to you, you're probably not affected)_
OSM API will remove support for HTTP Basic Auth, & OAuth 1.0a. You'll have to migrate to the modern OAuth 2.0 feature, which is very well supported.
The Operations Working Group is shutting down OAuth 1.0a and HTTP Basic Auth in 2024. They have been deprecated since 2023 and their role in authorization has replaced by OAuth 2.0 which the standard authorization method for most systems.
Day 18 and 19: Added a penny press and a large waste bin using @MapComplete . Creating the penny press theme was mostly incidental because I found some mapped in #OpenStreetMap while looking for vending machines. Completely revived my collecting hobby...
Day 13 and 14: Different place for this time, a small nearby village. Finally aligned most of the roads, some were off by about 5m, polished up the landuse and did some other minor touch-ups. Also spotted this interesting 'bridge'-like road near the start of a 30-zone, almost looks like traffic calming. #OpenStreetMap
Day 12 (sort of): Always fun trying to get detailed landuse for mixed-use buildings, also came across an interesting one for tagging: a shop selling (ethically sourced) animal hides (now tagged as shop=interior_decoration). Also one of the reasons why I love mapping, you see something new every time. #OpenStreetMap
Day 3: Sidewalks Instead of focusing on a small area I tried adding all sidewalks, as well as sidewalk information to roads. After doing that all roads have sidewalk information, instead of only 3, and as for the sidewalks themselves I made a small map. #OpenStreetMap #gis
Heb je interesse in #OpenStreetMap en woon je in #Gent of in de buurt?
Nu donderdag (18 januari) is er een OSM-community meetup met gratis #pizza in de kantoren van TomTom. Meer informatie hier: meetup.com/openstreetmap-belgi…
Op maandag 22 januari is er dan weer een introductie in 't Assez. Hier beginnen we vanaf nul, dus ideaal als je interesse hebt in Geo, FOSS of gewoon een goeie app zoekt maar nog nooit iets met OpenStreetMap hebt gedaan: mobilizon.openstreetmap.fr/eve…
TomTom's OSM team welcomes anyone interested in OpenStreetMap to the TomTom office in Gent for food, drinks and good company. We will kick the night off wi
"This editor does not make you think. Just go to a mall, and start Every Door. You'll see mapped #shops around you: tap on the checkmark for any that are still there, and add shops that are not on the map. That's the entire process: you can keep your entire town up-to-date thanks to this simple editor."
The #OpenStreetMap booth at #37c3 has a big printer. A good test for the #MapComplete PDF-export function! In this case, it shows #surveillance cameras in #hamburg . Want your own map? Come over to the Bits-and-Baume area
The first poster for my introduction to #OpenStreetMap at #37c3 has been put up. Come find us at 19:00 today at the Hardware Hacking Area (Hall 3, this is close to Chaos Post)
