Been adding restaurant ratings and reviews to Mangrove Reviews @mangroveReviews using MapComplete @MapComplete

I’ve written 6 so far, and there’s more to come! Plenty of WIP drafts to finish 🙂

This really plays to my strengths, combining my love for

  • writing,
  • improving OpenStreetMap, free data, and freedom-respecting software,
  • reviewing (as a child, I liked to review the theatre I watched with my parents…my parents and their theatre friends would often ask me for my review after the show, and would listen to me intently 🥺)
  • …and trying new things to eat and drink!

If you like my open data reviews and photos, please support me on Liberapay! I need to be able to afford eating out to continue reviewing 😅

PS MapComplete currently removes all line breaks from the reviews it displays (which breaks things like paragraphs and bullet lists), and Mangrove Reviews truncates the text of the reviews it displays. So there’s no perfect way to view the reviews right now…I’ve let the developers know about these issues and they will hopefully fix them soon.

Visiting Aarhus and up for an art walk?

Here is a uMap showing the murals from the 17 Walls project – plus many other mural locations in the city (that are mapped in OpenStreetMap). A great way to explore Denmark’s second-largest city through public art.

👉 umap.openstreetmap.fr/da/map/1…

High time to announce my newest project: #PublicArtExplorer
If you are into art and would like to know what outdoor art is available around you (or any other place you are interested in) this app may be for you.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Already available here: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/a… and there play.google.com/store/apps/det….
And soon on #fdroid too. #IzzyOnDroid, #art. #OpenStreetMap, #osm

Thank you to all 11 participants for braving the heat and attending the 17th #OSM #Delhi Mapping Party! 🙂

We hope you will join us again to help make #OpenStreetMap better. Each mapper counts!

If you ever want to go cycling in #Prague, I highly recommend the "Na kole Prahou" (Prague on Bike) app. It's very similar to my favorite #Cyclers, because they're both made by the same vendor. However, it has notes from the local cycling community and extra features that are useful in Prague. And just like Cyclers it's #OSM based.

While #cycling around Prague, I discovered that it's often the fastest means of transportation. For example, I was able to get from Anděl to Florenc (4 km) in 12 minutes with little effort. For me, it's also the cheapest since both #Rekola and #Nextbike give you 2 one-hour-long rides every day if you have the #Multisport card.

I discovered @streetcomplete some time ago and began answering quests, as a small and regular contribution to #OSM datas. It's fun, and this is a way to re-discover my daily neighbourhood in #montreal
Some questions for streetcomplete users :
- how to edit a quest when I accidentally validate a wrong data ?
- is there a way to add informations (objects) for public #art pieces, which are located in public space ? (such as sculptures, statues, murals...)

Thanks for your help 🙏

Today's fun with OpenStreetMap and route planners: A route planner for Denmark that refuses to drive on roads named after men.

About 40,000 Danish roads (= 35 % af all Danish roads) have been tagged with name:etymology:wikidata to tag into Wikidata's structured content.

Other ideas for funny restrictions? Roads named after politicians of specific political parties? Roads named after royals? (¡Viva la revolución!) Roads named after Swedes?

Puedes echar una ojeada a mis mapas de viajes en #umap como este para hacerte una idea
umap.openstreetmap.fr/es/map/t…

Una vez que los preparas un poco son muy sencillos de crear y ampliar.

Aparte de lo que te han comentado de la Wikipedia, algo parecido con #OpenStreetMap. Me refiero a que con Umap, por ejemplo, buscas sitios que ya existen y les pones un pin con su texto, etc.
Pero es probable que haya edificios o lugares que no figuren todavía en #OSM y sería bueno darlos de alta.

Para eso es muy sencillo @MapComplete donde vas creando los sitios, dando detalles y subiendo fotos a base de que te pregunte. Por lo que no necesitas saber de cómo se configuran los lugares para crearlos.
Tiene una categoría que es Monumentos conmemorativos que igual puede valer tal cual y te va a hacer preguntas relacionadas con monumentos.
mapcomplete.org/memorials.html…

Si hacen falta aclaraciones, pregunta. 😊


Old thread but still. I thought this was a common practice - I'm from Slovakia and I remember I added some shops in #OSM and then when I checked #MapyCom , at least one of them was already in it with a slightly different name - probably added by user of #MapyCom . But then after the synchronization with #OSM (which happens every few days), they took just the shop I added (maybe merged them?). I suppose someone is sitting there and solves such conflicts


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.

My city has a reduce waste initiative called Bring It! where various cafes will give you a discount between 30 cents to 1 dollar for bringing your own #reusable cup for coffee (or whatever drink you're buying). A few months ago I researched #OpenStreetMap tags and found `reusable_packaging:accept=yes`, and added several of the cafes. But I wanted to check that I had added them all, and some new ones, so I needed an easy way to check and edit all cafes in my region, with #MapComplete.

This is a nice point of view! ✌️

#streetcomplete is indeed a great way. // @streetcomplete
#MapComplete has no app but it also runs like a charm if you make a starter with your browser app // @MapComplete

Both have different approaches and are very active developed. So, start mapping for #osm 🙂



I was searching for alternative to @organicmaps
after reading some behind the scenes
mapstodon.space/@atvirasis/114…
and now I see #Mapycz #Mapycom got other problems 🙈
Anyone can recommend good #OSM based app with offline maps for #iOS?


#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.






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.

@sesivany @mirek
Konkurence je dobrá věc. Možná mají mapy.cz negativní vliv na #OSM, ale opravdu mám dojem, že OSM v Česku je jedna z nejlepších alespoň co jsem zkoušel v Evropě (a řekl bych, že mimo Evropu to lepší nebude).


#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.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

#Mapycz are now launching their premium version. I'm not sure if it is in response to that. But #LocusMap, a lovely #OpenStreetMap based app focused on outdoor activities built by a small company from #Prague, now has a 6 month trial of their premium plans. Check it out! 👇

#Seznam, the company behind Mapy.cz, has become a silver partner of the #OpenStreetMap Foundation.
It was about time. They've been benefiting from #OSM for years.
Now I have one last thing on my wishlist: Drop the proprietary maps for #Czechia and use OSM everywhere.

Angaben zur #Rollstuhltauglichkeit eines Ortes sind zwar in der @openstreetmap@en.osm.town eingetragen, werden aber auf der #wheelmap nicht angezeigt?

Dann könnte es sein, dass die Beschreibung nicht dem Basis-Attribut wheelchair_description sondern dem mit der Erweiterung der Sprache zugeordnet wurde, z.B. wheelchair_description:de
Wie mir der Support mitteilte, arbeitet man aber daran, auch die Sprachdefiition zu berücksichtigen.

I don't have any Kruidvat's near me, but I can probably find some other source for printing. There are a few areas on #OSM I've contributed to significantly, so I will definitely be looking into making one or two of these (and sending you tax 😋).

🗺️ One of the things I try to do when on the island (or anywhere remote) is update OSM with new amenities, or delete ones that have closed.

I’m using Every Door at the moment. It works, but pretty it is not. Alternatives? Anyone? every-door.app/
