15.09.2021 No i mam problem z nazwą multipoligonu…

Jako “name” całego multipoligonu w bazie jest wyraźnie wpisane (przeze mnie): “Dom Księży Emerytów Archidiecezji Łódzkiej”. Natomiast po wyjściu z trybu edycji na obrazku mapy jest stary wpis: “Dom Księźy Emerytów Archidiecezji Łodzkiej”.

Próbowałem różnych rzeczy: rozbijanie multipoligonu, przeglądanie poszczególnych wierzchołków budynku, patrzyłem czy nie ma gdzieś jakiegoś większego terenu, który akurat w tym miejscu wrzuca swój tekst.

Po wpisaniu do okienka “szukaja” błędnego tekstu odpowiedzi pokazują tylko nazwę wpisaną przeze mnie.

No i nie mam pomysłu na to, jak poprawić tekst wyświetlany na ekranie na budynku Domu Księży Emerytów. :-(

Co trzeba jeszcze poprawić, gdzie jest jeszcze zaszyta stara nazwa multipoligonu?

ROAD CLASSIFICATION DECISION MATRIX

Default Starting Ranks: [UK] [IRL] [DE] [FR] [IT]

INTERSTATE/MOTORWAY motorway [US:I] [UK:M] [IE:M] [DE:A] [FR:A] [IT:A]

NHS (DIV) trunk [UK:A(T)] [IE:N] [DE:B] [FR:N] [IT:SS]

US (ALL) / NHS (UNDIV) primary [UK:A] [IE:N] [DE:L] [FR:D] [IT:SS]

STATE PRIMARY secondary [UK:B] [IE:R] [DE:K] [IT:SP]

STATE SEC/COUNTY tertiary [UK:C]

TOWNSHIP residential

other things to think about for status changes: for Primary to Trunk: NHS mainline/some Strahnet (exc intermodal connnectors) +1 controlled access (limited intersections) +1 divided highway +1 interchanges at intervals +1 super-2 in places +1 or upgrade to motorway super-2 with widened centerline, rumble strips, mandatory headlight usage. Trunk means “watch out”; dangerous roads serving the role of a motorway one with design/safety compromises.

Secondary to Primary: high relative traffic +1 wide shoulders +1 Interstate Business Route +1 (not automatically in NHS!)

Tertiary to Secondary: 4 or 6-lane divided +1 through route +1 retail strip +1 interchanges with an Interstate (case-by-case)

Residential to Tertiary Divided, serving major retail centers and industrial parks +1 MD: Has yellow center line and is through/collector route VA: Numbered Secondary 600-999, selected routes above 1000 (VA numbers almost every road, but these lower numbers are usually important) PA: Numbered SR 1xxx-4xxx WV: County Routes (whole & fractionals)

for drops in status: numerous traffic signals in quick succession (drop from trunk) -1 retail strip (usually cause for above): drop from trunk to primary, but up from tertiary to secondary if divided. -1/+1 low speed limit -1 city environment -1 narrow shoulders -1 twists/turns/grades -1 (in relation to nearby straighter roads serving the same general direction)

Here we see that most of today’s cellphones’ GPS traces are “all over the parking lot,” thus will degrade the quality of OSM when making a map from them, https://medium.com/@importanttech/we-tested-mobile-gps-gnss-accuracy-and-found-some-surprising-results-b9ec35873e2e

But yes, you could say having a path on the map is better than no path.

See also https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263224121001858 .

The idea to map radars and mirrors of the Czech highways was raised in the mailing list of the Czech community. One of the comments is questioning about how to track the work done–and that’s exactly the problem to be solved by the damn project. (Note that the idea to map radars and mirrors of the Czech highways is still just an idea and there are no further steps done yet I’m aware of.)

I already wrote two Get inspired by … diaries. These were the potential HOT tasking manager improvements and the Tanga Building Footprints Import. This diary discuss the use of the damn project for tracking the work done on highways.

Create area

The damn project helps mappers by dividing some big area into smaller squares that a human can map. How this applies to highways?

It’s possible to upload two kinds of GeoJSON boundary files to the damn manager. If the FeatureCollection has member ‘name’ then divide to squares function is NOT used. Moreover, I’ve updated the damn project to understand what to do with a feature containing a LineString geometry: create a “square” with the border around the LineString. (“Square” here means a square of an area of the damn project.)

So… when you download some highway=motorways within some interesting bounding box (I mean from overpass API in JOSM,) save as GeoJSON, and add name member, you are able to upload that as GeoJSON boundary file to the damn manager.

Note that I experimented with joining ways to make larger squares of an area. The JOSM damn plugin then refused to automatically download the OSM data of a square because the square was too large, and the data had to be downloaded manually.

Mapping

The mappy client may help to visualize the area. An example is area 2352 and it looks way better with background image switched off. The JOSM damn plugin, light client, or panel using map random square/map nearest square are better options, though.

Today as of this week, I started editing the missing map details around the Gordons( esp the National Stadium), Rita Flynn Netbal Centre, Sir John Guise Stadium as well as commercial Buildings around Waigani area. It took me almost 3 days before the 3-D model of these Stadium(Sporting facilities) appeared in F4map.com. I hope to see these models also reflected in 3DBuildings.com.

Although these are LOD 2 models( in my context), I may hope to try pulling those models into Blender-OSM to further enhance these Buildings, in the future( to take 3D modeling a further step up). I hope to still edit areas that aren’t not mapped out around Port Moresby areas, such as Gerehu Suburbs which are still missing details. Alot still needs to be done around our National Capital city which is still lacking map elements in OSM.

I have done all my BEST and its almost a year that I have actively been editing maps around Port Moresby area esp. the Metropolitan area where high-rise Buildings and densely-packed detached buidings are.

One fundamental function that anyone can use is the Building tags; as I am using only the ID Editor as I don’t have access to use JOSM to verify if my tags are valid. Thanks goes to the OSM moderators who are providing me helpful tips&insights on how I can edit the maps with any error. I am still pressing and pulling myself up-to-date with OSM HELP menu and correcting myself to re-edit feature entries which are erroneous.

Thankyou all and once again happy mapping to all the Mappers around Papua New Guniea and to the Moderators who are taking their time to correct us.

BOLA! and happy Mapping.

Chères membres de la communauté Openstreetmap, j’ai l’honneur de déposer ma candidature en tant que membre du conseil d’administration du Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team ( HOT) pour les raisons suivantes:

Je suis devenu un contributeur actif de la communauté OpenStreetMap grâce à une mission de l’équipe Humaritarian Openstreetmap en 2013. Avec l’aide de cartographes bénévoles, nous avons pu mettre en place la communauté Openstreetmap Sénégal, puis l’association Openstreetmap Sénégal - dont j’ai été le secrétaire général depuis 2018.

Depuis 2015, avec le soutien de l’association française Projet Espace OSM Francophone (ProjetEOF) et Les Libres Géographes (LLG), j’ai pu participer à plusieurs missions de renforcement des capacités en Afrique francophone. J’ai développé un ensemble de compétences et d’expériences qui peuvent être utilisées au sein du conseil d’administration de HOT US Inc.

Afin de rendre HOT plus inclusif et diversifié, la participation de membres de la communauté africaine et francophone au niveau exécutif est importante. Cela permettra de prendre en compte les aspects uniques et spécifiques des réalités au sein de ces communautés. De plus, il y a encore beaucoup à faire en termes d’actions de cartographie car de nombreux espaces sont actuellement absents de la carte dans ces territoires, d’où la présence de personnes pouvant aider à comprendre les enjeux et la particularité de ces communautés au sein du conseil d’administration de HOT.

Avec la volonté de HOT de rendre l’organisation plus inclusive et centrée sur la communauté, je suis sûr que les connaissances humaines, techniques et organisationnelles que j’ai acquises au fil des ans dans la communauté francophone d’Afrique seront une contribution précieuse pour aider l’organisation à relever ce défi.

If you want to translate this post to be more comprehensible, I recommend to use deepL translator.

Disclaimer: All opinions are mine and do not necessarily represent opinions of HOT or other organizations/groups I am affiliated with.

The HOT Board and Chairperson Election period this year started this month of September. Both positions require that you are a voting member to be able to run, nominate and vote.

PS. Becoming a voting member is another cycle/election :)

I’d like to share five (5) challenges or “dare” to the HOT Voting members (which includes Board members and chairperson).

#1 Unengaged membership: How can we engage 1M contributors if we cannot engage our 217 (and growing) voting members?

HOT received funding from the Audacious Project last year - “Over the next five years, HOT will engage one million volunteers to map the places that are home to one billion people.”

When I applied for my staff position, this has been one of my strong drivers/motivations: to meaningfully engage contributors/communities (including the voting membership), and benefit from the work that HOT does. I believe the voting membership is one of the most important of these communities but hasn’t been prioritised in recent years.

I challenge the HOT membership, how can you help engage your fellow voting members, esp. those you nominated as a voting member and vice versa?

#2 Community Participation: How do we actively participate and support communities/groups locally (your local communities), regionally (eg Open Mapping Hubs), and globally (e.g. HOT / OSMF Working Groups)?

HOT shifted from global to regional structure to ensure that power, decision-making and resource allocation happen much closer to the communities we seek to support and in which we want our impact to be. How do you think the voting members can support the Regional Hubs and local communities?
