A new version is released: v0.54.0

Some new features are:

- Some types of objects have gotten a *copy* button. If a similar object is nearby, you can add it easily to #OpenStreetMap with a few taps
- Reviews (powered by @mangroveReviews are now parsed with markdown (spoilers: the develop version has some more improvements wrt reviews)
- There is now a user preference that forces mapcomplete to remember the layer state

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.

Just so you know, #OsmAnd is celebrating its 15th anniversary with 50% off its plans, which you can now pay for directly without paying the 'app tax' to Google or Apple.

I highly recommend OsmAnd — it's a Swiss army knife for maps! Open source. Based on #OpenStreetMap.

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

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

Looking for places in my town, I'm noticing a lot of the points on #openstreetmap are out of date.

So far, I've been taking notes and making changes at home on my computer, which doesn't feel ideal. What tools/techniques do people like for making changes when out and about?

(As I'm a new contributor I find links to the wiki for correct usage of tags really helpful)

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?

I encountered a really nice and relaxing to see (and hear) #windpump today...

As a result, mapcomplete.org/openwindpowerm… on #MapComplete will have "windpumps" as a category soon too!

#OpenStreetMap

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.

Si hacen falta aclaraciones, pregunta. 😊

Memorials

Memorials are physical objects permantently placed in the public space to remember a person or event

#openstreetmap valdría para esto?

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?

#openstreetmap #aviation

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

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

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.

#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.
