10000

Mein Sohn Linus ist inzwischen sieben und ich schaue mal wieder hier rein…

Ich bin inzwischen ständig mit OSM unterwegs. OSMAnd hat alle früheren Navis abgelöst, auch für die Fahrt in den Urlaub.

Okay, keine Verkehrsinfos und Langzeitbaustellen stehen auch oft nicht in der Karte. Aber seit ich die Funktion zum temporären Sperren einer Straße in OSMAnd gefunden habe, macht mir das auch keine Kopfschmerzen mehr.

Nun muss ihc nicht mehr “gegen” OSMAnd fahren, wenn ich einer Baustelle ausweiche.

Streetcomplete ist ebenfalls sehr oft an. Ich liefere im Moment Tageszeitungen in Beckum aus, und wo es die Zeit zulässt, aktualisiere ich auf dem Weg Kartendaten. Straßenoberflächen, Geschosszahlen von Gebäuden, Hilfen für Blinde an Übergängen, etc. etc.

Es gibt noch so viel zu tun … Geil!

Het zonnepark onder het locatie baken is zonnepark ‘De Watering’ Dus niet het zonnepark wat daaronder ligt.

Preciso da sua ajuda: Como você pode ajudar a apoiar meu trabalho Criada por PlayzinhoAgro a 10 setembro 2022 em Portuguese (Português) English Version

Nesses últimos 2 anos como voluntário em tempo integral desenvolvi vários projetos de mapeamento pelo Brasil, por acreditar ser meu dever contribuir por conta do deficit que o mapa tinha na minha região. Minha meta como mapeador é tentar diminuir os espaços em branco no OpenStreetMap para que mais pessoas possam usá-los e assim mais mapeadores surgirem.

Entendo que nem todo mundo tem tempo ou interesse em mapear, no máximo fica no básico e muitas vezes acaba esquecendo do OSM por não consegui usar no seu dia a dia, ainda mais em um país como o Brasil onde dificilmente um trabalhador teria tempo para ficar atualizando mapas.

Tenho me dedicado diariamente ao OSM, mas infelizmente isso tem um custo e já que não sou nenhum herdeiro, tem sido bem difícil conciliar meu trabalho como voluntário e minha vida pessoal, já passei por fases muito complicadas desde que eu decidi me dedicar em tempo integral, mas também tive muitas ajudas.

Trabalhar no OSM não é uma tarefa fácil, pois seu trabalho nunca está concluído, sempre há novas mudanças que precisam ser mapeadas, erros a serem corrigidos, é um trabalho contínuo que exige certo nível de conhecimento e experiencia adquirida com o tempo.

Um dos primeiros projetos que eu fiz foi usando o DAMN e depois o Taskmanger para poder gerenciar e mapear cidades inteiras, com esse projeto foram quase 20 cidades que foram totalmente mapeadas desde as estradas aos edifícios.

I guess I didn’t keep up with this diary. I’ve been busy since that first entry.

I’ve gone through both Cleveland National Forest and San Bernardino National Forest to fill in and tag forest roads and trails. At this point, both forests should have all of the official routes of travel with their official names and refs. There will be some differences between OSM and the FS Topo data source where conditions on the ground are different from what USFS has in their data set.

I also worked with a team of mappers to update all the Sq___ names that were changed by BGN/USGS in both OSM and Wikidata. (See https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-department-completes-removal-sq-federal-use and https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/all-official-sq-names.) That made me really happy because the unfortunately named local “Squaw Tit” that I used in my backcountry navigation course is now appropriately named “Mat Kwa’Kurr.”

I have two things going on now. I’m filling in the roads that CBP has made in the Jacumba Wilderness Area. There’s been a lot of activity out there recently and some construction work on two new border wall segments. This activity is controversial for a number of reasons, so I think it’s important to document the impact CBP has had in the area.

I’ve also started working with the BLM Ground Transportation Linear Features data set to fill in backcountry routes in SoCal.

I’m starting with the area around Superstition Mountain in Imperial County because it’s a popular area for off-road activities. The terrain there makes navigation challenging, so good maps can make a huge difference.

Unfortunately, the shifting sand dunes in the area also make mapping difficult. And the BLM data is not very good. The BLM tracks wander off into places where there are no tracks on the ground. And the BLM tracks take some improbably dangerous routes over surface features, like crossing the sharp crest of a soft sand dune.

Reimaginando o perfil de usuário do OSM

Reimagining the OSM User Profile

I would like to start by explaining that this is an exercise in imagination on how we could improve the UX/UI in the OSM profile, this means that some changes were based on my experience and there are still some things missing that I have not explored, like the Diaries, settings and Messages, I would love to get feedbacks from you!!!

커뮤니티도 새로 둥지를 틀었고 그 안에 ‘한국/조선’ 카테고리도 만든 김에 ‘한국/조선’ 카테고리의 로고를 만들어 보려 했습니다.
원래는 삼태극 무늬를 이용한 Korea 로고가 있었으나 삼태극이 어느 한쪽에 좀 치우친 느낌을 주는 듯하여 제안을 했으나……

• In 1992 Philippe Starck designed [oar-shaped plaques] for Paris(https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_Histoire_de_Paris). They highlight historical buildings and looked very nice!

• In 20o1 Porto was crowned European Capital of Culture, congrats! It involved a lot of development, like a reconstruction of Jardim da Cordoaria. But also installation of the Stark Plaques.

• Location and a full list of this plaques is a mystery and is not on the internet! Ironically, the land of explorers is an unexplored unmapped land.

• Current list is tracked on OSM wiki.

• Fun fact, renowned/infamous explorer Artemy Lebedev took a picture of a plaque that no longer exists.

• I need your help with finding precise location with photographing these plaques:

• Please dm me if you have any updates about these Porto Plaques.

• Thank you!

I am terrible at keeping journals, and this will probably be no exception, but I have been enjoying some folks’ regular updates about what they have been up to in the OpenStreetMap world. So let’s give this a try! Two weeks late already for October; life got in the way..

Mapping

I’ve had a pretty active mapping month, but also all over the place, more so than usual.

• I participated in a virtual mapping party at work. We worked on a HOT Tasking Manager project. This is the first time in a while that I had really worked with Tasking Manager. It’s generally easy to use but sometimes the instructions can be clearer. It was good to get out of my mapping ‘comfort zone’.
• I did my usual surveying while out and about using GoMap!! while the weather is still nice.
• I read somewhere that Geofabrik’s OSM Inspector had gotten an update with some new categories, so I gave that a new try. I ended up spending quite a bit of time untangling some invalid polygons.
• Used RapiD to add some government-provided GIS data. I also wrote about this, see below.

Meeting

• We had our monthly OpenStreetMap Utah meetup and it was a special and fun one! I decided I wanted to try out Every Door, the mobile POI and micromapping app. We went to a local mall and I wrote about it. We will do this again!

Сегодня в первой половине дня тайлы дефолтного для iD и JOSM слоя со спутниковыми снимками Maxar перестали открываться в России. Другие источники снимков доступны. Через VPN снимки Maxar так же становятся доступны.

Пока нет вразумительного объяснения, является ли это заслугой РКН, культурой отмены в Maxar, или эти два одиночества встретились.

Прорабатываем вариант, как лучше сделать выборочное заворачивание трафика Maxar в VPN/VPS/Tor, но пока простейшим решением является запустить Tor Browser, подключиться к сети Tor, и прописать в настройках JOSM socks-proxy localhost:9150. Правда, при этом будет заворачиваться в Tor вообще весь трафик JOSM, поэтому решение далеко от идеала.

Today was my second mapathon and i really enjoyed it cause was fun mapping. i thank all the people who help me learn this new skill

This is my first attempt on the subject of the title divided in 6 topics. Sorry for the long text (but could be far longer).

Disclaimer: low experience as OSM mapper!

While I do have prior advanced experience in other areas, as you can see from my account, I’m so new to the project that as a newbie user of iD left after the tutorial in India I got scared that if someone touches something, after that validators will assume that person is responsible for errors in that something. In my case it was “Mapbox: Fictional mapping” from OSMCha.

So assume that this text is written by someone who one day ignored iD warnings for something I touched, still not sure how to fix the changeset 127073124 😐

Some parts of this post, such as reference to notability (from this discussion here osm.wiki/Talk:Wiki#Use_Wikibase_to_document_OSM_software) and gives some hints of unexplored potential which not even current OpenStreetMap Data items are doing (from this discussion here Remove Wikibase extension from all OSM wikis #764) are the reason for the dismistifing part of the title.

1. Differences in notability of Wikidata, Wikipedia, and Commons make what is acceptable different in each project

I tried to find how OpenStreetMap defines notability, but the closest I found was this:

• osm.wiki/Welcome_to_Wikipedia_users#We_don’t_have_a_notability_rule

For sake of this post:

• Commons Notability: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Notability
• Wikipedia (EN) Notability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
• Wikidata Notability: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability

What I discovered is that Commons already is used as a suggested place to host for example images, in particular what would go on the OpenStreetMap Wiki.

Wikipedia is likely to be far more well known than Wikidata and (I suppose) people know that Wikipedias tend to be quite strict on what goes there.

I recently found a video on youtube decribing the current tools. Instantly I tried “Street Complete” and started tapping on my smartphone on my walk around after a hard day with brainwork.

It makes me feel good to share parts of the world, I discover.

Again, though there are still potentials: Thank’s for the great improvment of tools over the last decade… Great Job!

I recently discovered that the county assessor has put a version of the parcel database online, searchable by a web map interface. Most of the parcel entries in the database have address information that can be entered into OSM.

My workflow is to use a split screen. On one side I have a browser window open to the assessor’s web map interface. On the other I have JOSM running. I use the address tool to manually fill in the information.

While Whitman County is a little larger than the state of Delaware in area, it only has a population of around 50,000. I plan to start with the small communities and rural areas of the county then progress to the city of Pullman.

前几天记录了442路的轨迹，已经发现在玉带河大街桥那个地方轨迹和已有的图对不上了，我的轨迹里面东六环西侧路玉带河大街桥附近那段是绕弯的，而且穿越了已有的图的东六环。

刚才画图的时候用卫星影像对了一下那个位置，发现现有的数据图层是和影像匹配的。接着我找了个近期发布的442路，发现不是我的GPS出了问题，而是实际的路就是这样的。

接着我用高德地图看了一下，发现它的东六环和西侧的通运西路已经改成弯的了，但是高德的卫星影像里面都还是直的，也就是说高德的卫星影像也是有延迟的。

所以卫星影像的延迟到底有多大？
