Hei, started bringing to life the villages around the Munti Macini area in Romania, between Tulcea and Braila towns; most of them are just lines of roads (sometimes badly placed out of where they really are) and very few, if any, detail of houses even less of POI or important ones.

As of today I completed the houses/buildings of Nifon, Hamcearca, Caprioara, Greci, Balabancea, Revarsarea, Floresti, Tichilesti but if someone wants to join me in this effort, there is plenty more to do, especially marking important things such as hospitals, pharmacies, gas stations, bus hubs, food stores, completing mapping of building in the remaining villages (Macini, Jijila, Vacareni, Luncavita, Rachelu, Isaccea, Niculitel, Mircea Voda, Cerna, Traian, Turcoaia, Carcaliu, Garvan)…

Munti Macini are small but pretty, rising from the planes around them offer easy but good hiking, biking and excellent views.

Thanks

UPDATES: 2 May: finished Luncavita / 3 May: finished Rachelu / 16 May: finished Carcaliu / 23 May finished Cerna / 28 May: finished Macin / 11 June: finished Jijila / 13 June finished Mircea Voda and General Praporgescu / 19 June finished Vacareni /

Grab is excited to share with the community, that our maps team in Thailand has been uploading street-level imagery in Mapillary for Chiang Mai City areas and we are now hitting ~82% which is approximately 1,667 kilometres of roads. We are expected to complete the 100% upload by the end of this month.💥 Update: We have completed 100% upload of the street-level-imagery in this region.

We also have uploaded imagery on OpenStreetCam for the Singapore area. ((edited-29th April 2019) This upload was done sometime last year)

Here’s how you can start mapping using Mapillary imagery, here are the detailed steps involved if you are using iD editor or JOSM for mapping. Want to start contributing imagery in your region, here’s how you can do it!

Happy Mapping!

Hey there everyone who happens upon this.

I’m a Pokemon Go player trying to fill in local regions to enhance the usability of the game for my friends and fellow players. I’m recently from Indianapolis and moved to Phoenix and so my mapping efforts have been moved here. I’ve been really shocked at the lack of detail in some of these maps, and I want to try to improve the neighborhoods, especially sidewalk maps.

I am Ezugwu, Victor Chukwuma. A Nigerian and graduate of the University of Nigeria where I read Geoinformatics and Surveying. The pioneer team leader Lionmappersteam Enugu Campus of the University of Nigeria. I became a member of the OSM community in 2016. I was introduced to HOT and it’s activities the same year.

HOT is an international non govermental and humanitarian organization dedicated to reaching and assisting everyone in the globe despite their location through mapping and humanitarian activities. HOT ensures openness, transparency and discipline in carrying out it’s activities

HOT is also committed to making impact locally through local mapping of various communities by it’s members and as well as reaching out to places with disasters such as floods by creating tasks which the members of the community can map and such mapping sessions are well validated.

I appreciate the HOT management for the opportunity to be nominated as a voting member. I hope to grow the activities of HOT/OSM in my country and beyond if elected a voting member and as well participate more effectively in HOT activities.

Thanks

A useful call-back for me today from Wendy Conibear at the GIS Team in Nottingham City Council (many thanks, Wendy).

Like most cities in the UK, the City of Nottingham is a Unitary Authority (a government measure enacted in 1992 which removed the former multi-tier arrangement of Parish/District/County Councils and which in OSM has led to multiple holes in the administrative map, since no-one can agree how to drag UK admin mapping into the 21st Century) (40% of all UK parishes are Unitary Authorities, which means that they do not appear on the map as there is no accepted mapping for them; that is a dumb position to allow to occur).

Now with the weather cooling off in Lesotho, and armchair mapping becoming more of a necessity than a choice I am thinking of hitting the #MapLesotho mapping with a large number of edits. My node contribution is approaching 5 million and this weather will grant me an opportunity to increase the edits and reach my goal. It is true I map everyday but I haven’t had an intense mapping in a while and I intend to crack my record.

There is a big need of improved mapping in Lesotho in areas such as Leribe and Maseru and using the data we realised that this districts have pockets of unmapped places. I therefore plan to hit the grid and tackle those because the idea is to have the whole country completely and perfectly mapped. Thus making open-source data readily available for use by different offices or individuals.
