#MapComplete #OSM

Here is what is missing in the popular #OSM based #FOSS apps (#OsmAnd, @CoMaps & @organicmaps) from being a potential replacement for GMaps.

1. Photos & Reviews are two most important things that are missing right now. @mangroveReviews and @lib_reviews are here to fill the reviews gap. #WikimediaCommons, @panoramax are here to fill the photos gap.

2. Crowdsourced Real time Traffic data. I couldn't find any #opendata platform yet. Though I saw an empty repo created under the CoMaps project. 🤞

TIL that #Mapycom is more than just a renderer on top of #OpenStreetMap. They actually import buildings from #Overture, which #OSM doesn't consider reliable enough for automatic imports.

From what I've seen, the results are mixed in Greece, with many buildings that don't exist in reality.

Yeah I was saying with a bit of tongue in cheek - Though of course every person that learns about #froid is also one that probably gets more exposed to #osm. I don't like purity spirals so you know let a thousand flowers bloom and all that.

I was just perhaps suggesting that froid might be your preferred app store since it allows more direct connections between you and your users - I'm all about #ownedmedia

You guys are doing a great job though and getting onto #playstore is a great achievement. - Some people play #candycrush - For me its Mapcomplete

Even on the night before the party, we were agonizing over the perpetual question - what editor to teach to newcomers?

And after the workshop and the latest mapping party, I think I have a new and improved idea.

1. We always introduce #CoMaps (and earlier Organic Maps) to newcomers, focusing on it as a means of using OSM. But we avoid using its editor - offline data can be confusing and (in the presence of concurrent editors) can more easily lead to duplication.

But if we want people to recommend CoMaps to other, less technical people…they may want the latter to be able to add places without installing another app.

1. I have long admired StreetComplete’s gamified interface, but always figured that it would cause issues in a mapping party.

But perhaps we can incorporate it after all? The people it is most likely to cause issues for are the #Vespucci users, and they are experienced enough (and Vespucci’s tooling is good enough) to handle upload conflicts.

Another issue is that if a user adds some data using a #StreetComplete layer, it takes time for quests to appear for it.

1. #MapComplete is good because it puts together the things people coming from Google Maps often expect from OSM - map data, photos, and ratings+reviews. The questions and the photo-taking may also add some variety and fun, and the photos also help other mappers verify the data and add details.

So here’s the new idea -

1. We practice adding 1-3 POIs with CoMaps. There may be duplication, but that’s okay, we (the organizers) will clean it up later as we usually do.
2. Then, we add 5-10 POIs with MapComplete.
3. Finally, we try out StreetComplete to add more details to the streets and POIs. We will use SC’s team mode to divide quests between people on the same team.

I’ll test the viability of this process soon.

(Vespucci will go back to being an editor for regular participants.)

Some postmortem notes about our 19th mapping party…

en.osm.town/@OSMIndia/11493311…

On a positive note, I think this was a productive party. 8 out of 10 participants were experienced mappers, and I’m happy with the data we added to the market. 👍

On the other hand, there were hardly any people from Noida - clearly, the publicity needs more work 😐

One participant recommended posting on Luma, so I guess we’ll be trying that.

Also, if you like my work, please support me on Liberapay. I’m unemployed, and rely on the community’s support for my contributions.

Mal ab davon, dass ich bisher noch nie eine funktionierende #mapcomplete Karte erstellen konnte 🙈 ...

... träume ich noch von der Tourismus Karte. Die, bei der man einfach während dem Sightseeing allerlei Dinge mappen kann ohne die Karte wechseln zu müssen.

Dinge hinzufügen, Daten erweitern, Bilder und Bewertungen hinzufügen ist das Ziel.

is there an "easy" web based (usable with full sized computer) editor for #OSM ?

I'm looking for one I can use to correct/add things like info about local businesses (such as opening hours, whether a business exists at that location)

I do have an OSM account and have looked on the main site but I click on an element and get all sorts of stuff and am worried about putting in the wrong tag or knackering something on the map that someone else has made..

Уикипедия и информация за Габровския регион

След като миналата година овършяхме близките осем села, сега се вдигнахме да отидем и в малко по-далечните от нас. Целта беше да направим поне по една гео-тагната снимка и да я добавим в общомедия, за да се вижда за селото. Другата цел беше да видим дали има неща, които можеше да бъдат опреснени. Така се случи, че научихме за двама човека допринесли супер много за България, но са забравени.

TIL there’s a “native” #MapComplete in F-Droid! And it utterly blows away the web version and the “installed” PWA in terms of responsiveness… (I tested these with Fennec)

What magic is this, @MapComplete ? 😳

Mapcomplete.org ist getting better and better.

A few days ago I discovered that its possible to add manmade bird nests. I was standing near a stork's nest when I found the topic. And directly added a picture.

I also found by chance that beehives can be added. And that there are also viewpoints to add under the theme of nature.

It would be nice if there was some information and not find by chance.

something new thats still hidden under some Theme?

#MapComplete #openstreetmap #osm

#OpenStreetMap for #Portland is so extremely outdated that I discovered there used to be a restaurant called Daruma Sushi that closed in 2019 in the same space that is currently hosting Feral. Orange & Blossom was missing entirely. I tried to update both, but since #OrganicMaps didn’t let me log in, I’m not sure if my updates will sit in a queue somewhere…

In any case, #OSM is far from being a reliable #GoogleMaps replacement, unless you somehow already know exactly where you’re going 🙃

For sake of trying something new, we introduced #MapComplete ( @MapComplete ) as the first editor for our 6 new mappers. While there were some rough edges, it enabled them to contribute photos to #Panoramax.

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.

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?

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.

#OSM #OpenStreetMap #Osmand #MapComplete #streetcomplete #mapping #maps

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 🙂

It's crazy that #Garmin charges 1490 CZK (€60) for (#OSM-based) Topo Czech v5 Pro maps which are never updated while there are community projects that provide free maps for Garmin devices, updated weekly and for every country you can think of.

For Europe I can recommend: garmin.v0174.net/ or garmin.vasam.cz/

#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.
