It’s relatively common for various national and regional GNSS correction networks to be referenced in a CRS other than WGS84 used in OpenStreetMap. The reason for this practice is that countries and regions use their own coordinate systems, most suitable for the territory they cover.

For example, the Oregon Real-Time GNSS Network (USA) uses NAD83 (2011) epoch 2010.00, according to their website.

It means that any RTK measurement taken while receiving NTRIP correction data from such a network will be referenced to the same CRS. That applies directly to the NMEA data output of the receiver, despite it normally being implied to be in WGS84. The majority of receivers available to amateurs are incapable of being configured to be aware of that. (The only sub-$1k receiver core I’m aware of that can “understand” the NTRIP CRS defined manually is Septentrio Mosaic.)

So, unless you perform a transformation from said CRS to WGS84, your tracks are going to be completely unsuitable for submission into the OSM public tracks database.

However, there’s a pretty straightforward way to perform the required transformation. Unfortunately, it’s “a little” longer than ideal for the exact same reason that NMEA data is implied to be in WGS84, so feeding a NMEA log directly may result in the reader ignoring the input CRS override.

The key tool for this is, coincidentally, JOSM. Here’s the workflow that functions just fine in my experience:

I look after a map style that’s designed to show rural pedestrian-focused information (hiking routes etc.). It natively supports zoom levels up to raster 24 and vector 26 (which is equivalent to raster 27), which means that small things like fire hydrants and manholes can be shown at high zooms without getting in the way of everything else. The raster and vector versions differ slightly, partly for technological restrictions (finding out “which routes this guidepost is part of” is easier on vector than raster).

A big question, though, is how do I find out what is missing? The styles evolved from an overlay for the the OSM Carto raster style in 2014 and have been added to ever since. However, the things that people map in OSM has increased a lot in that time. Sometimes I spot something obvious that’s missing, but how do I make sure that I haven’t ignored some relatively high-usage and important tag?

As usual, I don’t remember what site got me interested in the topic, but here we are anyways.

What are mounting blocks?

They are raised platforms or sometimes even flights of several steps used to mount and dismount horses, carriages, and I believe maybe also to load luggage onto the roof of a carriage. This helps short people or people with other physical restrictions (back in the day women trying to ride their horses side saddle in dresses) to enjoy horse riding. In the UK, for example, they are protected structures. In Ireland, they are not, and I have not searched further than that.

Привет!

Меня зовут Александр. На ОСМ я совсем недавно в качестве картографа, но пользуюсь картами уже более десяти лет.

Что заставило стать картографом?

Дело в том, что многие навигаторы для незрячих основываются на данных ОСМ. Получается, что иногда мы ходим по местам, которых давно нет, а новых не появляется. Просто решил по мере своих скромных сил вносить правки для тех мест, где часто бываю и про которые мне известно.

Техническая сторона вопроса

Для снятия координат использую навигационное приложение Seeing Assistent Go. В среднем, точки фиксируются с точностью 5 метров. В виду того, что у меня есть ограничения зрения, точную позицию на карте я установить не могу.
Пакеты правок формирую при помощи навигатора “Osmand”. Там это делать легко. Стоит лишь знать координаты места, которые хочешь добавить и данные о нём. Всё в достаточной мере доступно для программ экранного доступа.

К сожалению, попытка вносить правки через сайт ОСМ увенчалась неудачей. Не смог разобраться в интерфейсе и добавить место, потому в дальнейшем буду пользоваться исключительно Османдом.

Что сделано?

Немногое.

• Отредактированы названия для нескольких остановок. В нашем городе недавно случилось их масштабное переименование, и карты ОСМ за ним не поспели.
• Обновлена информация о тех местах, где я работаю и о нескольких недавно посещённых.

Что в планах?

Планомерно добавлять информацию об известных мне объектов. Добиться права на получение оперативных данных карт.

Заключение

Собственно, всё! Буду рад, если мои правки проверят опытные члены сообщества и, при необходимости, их скорректируют. Вдруг маркер точки подвинулся не туда или случилась другая беда! Всем желаю успехов и мирного неба над головой!

Did my first edits

Sou formado em Engenharia Florestal desde o ano de 2022, nas especialidades de Maneio de Recursos Naturais e em GIS. Como profissional, tenho actuado em Sistemas de Análise e Monitoramento espacial de Área verdes, recolha de dados topográficos e de biodiversidade em campo.

Ultimamente venho apresentando fortes hbilidade no uso dos SIG’s voltados para Mapeamentos de terras, Ordenamento territorial, Avaliação de Riscos e Impactos Ambientais e Cartografia aplicada. Possuo experiências de trabalhos (em campo e escritório) com aparelhos GPS, Rovers GNSS-RTX, Total Station, e tenho apresentado proeficiência no uso de diversos Softwares de Informação geográfica (UTM GeoMap, ArcMap, QGIS e QField, Google Earth Pro e Mozland Survey).

Sou usuário de dados do OSM a bastante tempo usando plugns no QGIS e ArcMap, porém começei a contribuir com o mapeamento para o OSM recentimente. Estou sempre a procura de oportunidades de aprendizagem, carreira e trabalho ligados aos Sistémas de Informação Geográficas, mapeamentos remoos e presenciais, e análises de dados geoespaciais. Meus melhores cumprimentos a todos proficionais ligados ao GIS.

Log in again to this web interface because i cant find an easy way to open GPX using Vespucci in Android.

Anyone editing OSM using Android? Please suggest better alternative than Vespucci.

Thank you.

Hello. I created this account for one reason: to plead with the creators to delete this software’s source code entirely. Its existence is an affront to humanity. If we erase every trace of it. pretend it was never even conceived. we might still spare countless people by guiding them toward software that actually includes speed limits, speed cameras, and school-zone warnings. That future would be far brighter than the one built on a map this catastrophically useless.

Example of uselessness:

That’s just a left turn, btw.

Fairview is comprised of smaller former real estate ventures. When a new area was built it was given a name by its developers. I am slowly researching those development names and adding them to OSM as I go. My neighborhood, for example, was called Hill-N-Dale. Tonight I’m working on Hayward Heights, which still displays its sign where it branches off from East Avenue.

Not a lot to say, other than “I’m glad to be starting!” I set up the following in my profile, which seemed as good a place to start as any:

GIS amateur in rural Maine, United States

Introduction

Hi there! I’m Geo, and I’m thrilled to contribute to public GIS data & resources! I’ve been editing Wikipedia since 2005, but despite registering in 2008, I’ve only started editing OSM in late 2025!

I can bring local knowledge from my area of Maine - Waldo County - and possibly more.

Recently I’ve made some logos for the Italian community (osm.wiki/Logos#in_Italy) and today I want to tell you how to I make this logos.

The first step is always to analyze what data do I need to represent and research how to get it, the https://osm-boundaries.com/ has been helpful to get this data and to get a first imprint of how the border is.

I usually download the data in an OSM format and then I use the ogr2ogr tool to convert the data in a format compatible with QGIS like GPKGs, this will be important later in the creation of the logo since I need the representation to be an SVG file to put together with all the other elements of the logo, like the map and the magnifying glass.

After downloading boundaries I start searching all the elements and how I need to represent them in the map, like for the Italian railway logo I proceeded to make different GPKGs file with all the necessary railway data divided into the various types, this can be achieved with a regional osm file, osmium and ogs2ogr.

After this we have to put together the data, and believe it or not this is going to be the hard part.

After making the GPKGs we open QGIS and open the files with it, by doing this we can put them together and customize the representation of the data for the logo, after this we can make a layout and render an SVG file from all the data we’ve imported.

Once we have the SVG export we are able to use a program like Inkscape to put together the SVG file with the default Logo file, usually what I do is deleting unnecessary detail from the original logo, changing the background color and making changes to other details in SVG to mek the logo look better or more personalized.

Once done this the only thing left to do is giving the logo to the community and “fine-tune” it based on opinions.

足球场

各种足球场的标线异曲同工，生活中也很常见。

就尺寸上来看——

• 11人制足球场（也是最常见的标准足球场）：长度一般在105米左右，上下误差不超15米；宽度跨度较大，从45米到90米不等，70米左右比较常见。
• 由于空间限制或实际需求，5人制足球场也不算少见。5人制足球场长度最长42米，最短25米；宽度最长25米，最短15米。一般5人制足球场长宽均不足11人制足球场的一半，因此其面积一般不足11人制足球场的四分之一。
• 有时还会看到7人制足球场，长65~68米，宽45~48米。

注意：无论何时，正规足球场必须是长方形，边线的长度必须长于球门线的长度。

篮球场

这个就更常见了，同样是长方形，而且样式尺寸也更单一、更具标识性，故直接上图：
