Аральское море – последнее большое черное пятно на нашей карте.

Еще раз подчеркну, что несомненное достоинства генерализованной карты в том, что на ней видно все объекты, выражающиеся в масштабе карты, а не только некоторые, как в osm-carto ).

Сейчас Аральское Море обозначено как natural=dry_lake.

Вопрос, чтобы нам с ним сделать (снова наполнить водой не предлагать) ?

Just stopping by on my way home this rainy morning and noting to myself to come back and set aside an afternoon to update “H-Town.”

• H-Town Market
• Walnut & Twine (Google Maps)

I have noticed that ÖPNVKarte is not being updated since August 22 2023. Does anybody have any info about why it is not being updated

I recently had the privilege of attending the State of the Map Africa 2023 conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The event, focused on “Open Mapping as a Support Tool for Local Development in Africa,” provided a platform for diverse perspectives and insightful discussions over three engaging days. Representing YouthMappers from Tanzania and GeoTE-Tanzania, I actively participated in various sessions, sharing experiences and insights on harnessing open mapping for community betterment.

Mapping Trees for Climate Change Resilience. In my first session, I delved into the critical role of open mapping tools like OpenDataKit in mapping trees for climate change resilience. The discussion highlighted practical approaches to leverage these tools, emphasizing the importance of mapping initiatives in building climate-resilient communities. The power of collaborative mapping became evident as we explored strategies to enhance environmental sustainability through open mapping.

Gender Inclusion in OSM Africa. The second session focused on gender inclusion within the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community in Africa. In a lively panel discussion, we explored avenues to improve gender representation and participation. It was inspiring to share ideas with fellow panelists and conference participants, brainstorming on practical steps to foster a more inclusive OSM environment for everyone.

Building Sustainable Open Mapping Communities Across Africa. The final panel discussion, led by Mr. Innocent Maholi from OpenMap Development Tanzania, delved into the theme of building sustainable open mapping communities across Africa. Joined by panelists Ezekiel Kiariro, Nathalie Sidibe, and Severin Menard, we exchanged insights on strategies to create enduring mapping communities. Our discourse covered topics ranging from community engagement to resource mobilization, leaving us with a roadmap for nurturing vibrant and sustainable mapping ecosystems.

I hope poking fun a little is acceptable. :) Happy mapping, all!

Wikipedia voor de persoon. De locatie.

Запилил всё-таки отдельную статистику по тегам для OpenLandcoverMap

http://osm2.zkir.ru/landcovers/renderedtags.html

Так она выглядит понятнее чем на TagInfo. Видно, что рендерится, что не рендерится и что с чем складывается.

А еще видно, что процесс объявления тега устаревшим (“deprecation”) на самом деле (до конца) не работает.

Старые сельскохозяйственные теги: landuse=farm, landuse=field, landuse=agriculture, landuse=pasture по прежнему достаточно сильные, чтобы засветиться на генерализированной карте. Area Score – это количество 6-ти километровых гексов, которые этот тег занимает, и является на нем главным!

И это не смотря на то, что их выпиливали сотнями(!) тысяч!

A simple diary entry to share a date that means a lot to me: last Sunday (07/01/24) marked ten years since my first contribution to the project. 🙂

landuse=forestry – какой-то новомодный и очень странный тег. Видимо natural=wood и landuse=forest скучно вдвоем, и решили добавить третий.

Из описания не совсем понятно, обозначает он деревья, или нет, и деревья должны быть нарисованы отдельно, традиционным способом

(типичное Forestry согласно осм-вики)

You may also tag the the wooded area with natural=wood and/or landcover=trees. this is orthogonal with the forestry area.

Вы можете [если хотите] обозначить деревья как natural=wood и/или landcover=trees. Это ортогонально зоне forestry.

Вот так и написано, ортогонально!

А еще Мерриам-Вебстер считает, что forestry это не сколько “лесничество”, сколько “лесоведение”.

Так и живем.

In the past, as I’ve traveled, I’ve found it pretty easy to find a library when I need one. I have offline maps from OpenAndroMaps that I use with OruxMaps. I open it to my search area and ask it where the libraries are and it gives me a few. Suddenly this is failing. Perhaps it was already failing and I wasn’t finding as many as are there.

The first failure was in Etna, California. OSM directed me to a parking lot with no library around it. Luckily, I had signal that worked and could find an address 1.5 blocks away. This mark got moved when I got home.

The second failure was in Ely, Nevada. This is the county seat. There is no way they don’t have a library. My map said no. Again, I had some signal and was able to find an address. It’s a big building next to the courthouse, well lit and full of books and has excellent internet. Now that I’ve located it on OSM, I found it was marked as a post office. There’s one post office in Ely and it’s off on the east edge of town. USPS doesn’t know about this one. It’s all better now. The White Pine County Library lives!

The third failure was in Hawthorne, Nevada. This was a lesser failure. When I was lazy and just searched for something with the word “library”, I got nothing. But when wandered through the menus to search the type, I got it. It just needed to be named. Now it is the Mineral County Library.

Before, I had suspected that someone had gone through and systematically added libraries. Maybe they have and just haven’t gotten to Nevada and northern California. In Utah, I was even able to find out about the tiny library in Bluff, housed in the old jail! It’s so small it was only open 2 days a week for a few hours. At that time, it was one of the only libraries that left the internet on while closed. (I’m glad a lot more do this now. Is there a tag for that?)

Anyway, libraries, very important mapping and there’s some still in need!

Большие правки бесят. Но больше bbox-ов меня бесит реакция вахтёров на них. За три года я увидел лишь одну адекватную попытку бороться с проблемой… Но давайте по порядку.

---

Я бы разбил большие правки на:

Правки больших отношений/линий

Они неизбежны. Хорошая новость: таких объектов мало, а значит таких правок будет мало.

Правки пересекающие 180-ый меридиан

… возникают при откате этимологии массовых правках на территориях разделённых им. Или при редактировании объектов около него.

В осмовском bbox правая граница больше левой. А что если мы вспомним, что живём на шаре? Какую рамку мы бы хотели увидеть? Подсказка:

Heute Maproulette entdeckt und mich in der Schweiz, vor allem in der Gegend rund um Winterthur betätigt. Die viele èbung lässt einen dabei an Sicherheit gewinnen, sehr gut für “fortgeschrittene Anfänger”.

Inflated Tea

So I am just learning Open Street Maps, but after the Massive Inflation that has come along, leaving coffee and tea prices at a gobsmacking 35-40 krona (3-4 Euro), I have set about trying to map cheaper spots in my home city of Stockholm. Here is a list, where Coffee and/or Tea is 15:- - 20:-. My first attempt did not turn up in searches - I guess the “Description” field doesn’t work for that.

Since toilets often cost 5:- 10:- kronor in Stockholm – a truly foul practice! – I have included information in this list as to which offer them for Free. There are several Panini Internazionales that do not have seating. I have only listed places where you can Sit here …

You should also know that public libraries also charge money for the priveledge of going to the bathroom in Stockholm, so they are not a good bet for Free places to sit - disgusting and fascist!

I have not included McDonalds, Max, Burger King or other fast food places here because I have trouble with the way the smell (or lets be honest- stink) of the disgusting food they sell. What is more, they are all on the HIGH side of cheap, charging at least 24:- or 25:- to sit in their nasty establishments with a small coffee or tea. Panini and the Grocery store cafes are chains, but innocuous ones as chains go, and I have done my best to locate locally owned cafes that don’t bar anyone who isn’t rich from sitting in their establishments by not having a single thing a normal person can afford.

Cheap Cafes to Catalog So Far

PANINI INTERNAZIONALE HAS 15:- small Coffee and Tea Panini Internazionale near Östermalmstorg (has toilet!)

Panini Internazionale Gallerian Mall (mall toilet is 15:- - ouch!)

Panini Internazionale in Västermalms mall (mall toilet is 10:-)

Panini Internazionale in Östermalmstorg subway exit plaza (no toilet)

Panini INternazionale Mall of Scandanavia (mall toilet is mercifully still free of charge)

Ich habe ein Problem Schäferhund Verein in Not. Ganz ehrlich… OG Rosstal Adresse Fernabrünster Strasse (?), 90574 Rosstal wird von Navi nicht erkannt. (Tesla) , weil die Strasse, nachdem sie in einen Feldweg asphaltiert dann in befestigten Sandwanderweg mündet, keinen Strassennamen mehr hat und auch nichts mehr im Auto anzeigt. Der Schäferhund Verein liegt linker Hand im Wald und man muss an der 2. T Kreuzung nach links abbiegen, aber bis dahin ist man meistens schon iranvorbeigefahren. Da sieht alles gleich aus. Ein großes Problem. Ich wollte einen richtungsweisenden Pfeil einfügen, aber ich scheiterte bereits auf dem Zielpunkt SV - Ortsgruppe Rosstal e.V. , das soll so quer über den Rasenplatz stehen, da wollte ich den Parkplatz und den Übungsplatz kennzeichnen. Kann mir jemand helfen? Wir haben im Mai eine Bundesdeutsche Sportveranstaltung. Wir müssen den Verein so Kennzeichen, das ca. 300 Menschen dort ohne Probleme hinfinden können und wissen, das sie direkt vor dem Vereinsheim parken können.

Ich habs versucht, ich Checks heute gar nicht. Bitte um Hilfe! Gute Nacht, ich packs nicht mehr. Lg, Hey Miss Daisy

Mit heute bereits 6 Tage aktiv und 1432 Einträge. Zentrum der Einträge ist Sirnach (CH, Turgau).

Bin mit der Software sehr zufrieden. Sie ist klar, übersichtlich und macht Spass. Ein wenig Nachkorrigieren auf der OSM Website ist aber meist erforderlich.
