外國媒體彭博社報導一項毋是新消息的代誌,彼咧是佇中國內蒙古的朱日和基地內底有親像台灣總統府衙的建築。毋過幾若冬進前已經予軍武迷注意點,甚至媒體已經報導過。

中國長期對台灣有領土野心,因為台灣島控制中國進出西太平洋的重要孔道。另外中國對台灣自我治理的政府嘛一直看無順眼,一直想方設法愛消滅台灣以國家的型式存在的事實,聲稱愛「統一」台灣變成中國一個省予中國管理。中國仿做台灣tiōng-iàu軍事基地,供解放軍訓練模擬進攻臺灣軍政地點,並毋是新消息。

你會當佇開放街圖頂懸共台北的總統府衙和朱日和基地內底仿製的建築互相比較,看有啥物無仝佮相仝的所在。已經有圖客畫仿製的模擬訓練的建築啦。

Today I got lazy. I’ve got a city commission meeting on Wednesday and my hair is getting a bit long, so I thought I’d spend my lunch getting a hair cut. The bad news is that they were backed up, so I made an appointment for tomorrow. The good news is that they weren’t on the map, so I added them.

It was raining, and I was lazy, so I didn’t do my normal two mile walk finding new stuff to add to the map. But I did get something for the day, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.

Nachtrag: Nachdem ich gestern Abend die Ankündigung des Vermessungsamtes zwecks Einmessung meines Haues gelesen und über meine Aufregung geschlafen habe (bin gerade beruflich im Stress und daher selbst mit Nichtigkeiten reizbar wie ein Pawlow’scher Hund, das muss dann raus), habe ich meine Entscheidung wieder überdacht.

Was für ein Wucherladen, was die Gebühren angeht. Die Leute, die dort arbeiten, können zwar nichts dafür, aber der Staat muss sich nicht wundern, wenn Unternehmen versuchen, ihn abzuzocken: wie es herausschallt, schallt es hinein.

Ich bin zwar immer noch der Meinung, dass man Landkarten wie auch Browser keinesfalls Google überlassen sollte (und nicht nur ich, wie man gestern auch erfahren durfte), aber noch weniger sollte man Geodaten dem Gebührenwucher staatlicher Vermessungsämter überlassen.

Die amtliche deutsche Kartographie musste ja von der EU förmlich gezwungen werden, überhaupt ihre Daten zu öffnen. Und während andere Staaten gleich ODBL-kompatbile Lizenzen verwendeten, musste Deutschland es wieder einmal besonders kompliziert machen.

Und auch OSM hat dazu beigetragen, dass auch beim Staat wenigestens einige Akteure den Wert offener Daten zu schätzen lernten, wenn auch viele nicht wirklich. OpenData hat seinen Wert nicht darin, dass es die Daten für lau gibt.

Insofern, man darf das da unten als überholt betrachten. Ich werde allerdings die nächsten paar Wochen nicht sonderlich aktiv sein können. Das ÖPNV-Netz im Raum Freiburg ist allerdings gerade “im Fluss”. Es wird ab 12.12. dann einiges zu tun geben,

Und ja: immer erst mal drüber schlafen…. ;-)

Nun also mein Aufreger von gestern:

gerade auf talk-de gelesen:

“Als Browser empfehlen Chrome/Chromium. Unsere Jtisi-Instanz verfolgt euch nicht.”

Das Verfolgen erledigt die Spyware von Google aka Chrome/Chromium nämlich von alleine.

So long OSM and thanks for all the fish.

Talk-de-Abo hab ich heute gekündigt.

The Local Chapters and Communities Working Group (LCCWG) is the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s newest working group and it was established in September 2019 following the annual Local Chapters Congress at State of the Map 2019. Since its establishment, the working group has now grown to 10 members spread over 4 continents as can be seen on the map below.

I thought I’d take a look this morning at my normal morning walk. (I walk to the local 7-Eleven to buy a V-8. That way I’m getting some vegetables in my diet. It’s probably not enough, but it’s better than nothing.) I discovered that there were several commercial establishments that just weren’t on the map.

So I added them.

Back to just identifying a few commercial establishments. Today while walking I was on Plymouth Avenue between Woodland Boulevard and Alabama Avenue in DeLand. I took the opportunity to mark two commercial enterprises on the south side of the street.

I’ll have to do the north side next. There’s a union office to mark, but mostly part of a shopping center. That just means adding tags to an existing building.


After dinner while on my computer, I also added a few fast food restaurants on north International Speedway Boulevard. I’m not promoting fast food, but that’s what people are looking for when they’re driving.

Gehsteig oder Begleitweg?

Die Unterscheidung fällt nicht immer leicht, da die Gehsteige (Bürgersteige, Trottoirs) selbst schon sehr unterschiedlich gestaltet sein können. Einige Beispiele zu Gehsteigformen wurden im AT-Forum kürzlich diskutiert.

Die Unterscheidung Gehsteig oder Begleitweg ist insbesondere für Radler und Mapper von Bedeutung, da Radeln:

  • am Gehsteig prinzipiell verboten ist
  • am Begleitweg prinzipiell erlaubt ist

Verkehrsschilder wie “Radweg”, “Gehweg” oder “Geh- und Radweg”, sofern sie vorhanden sind, klären natürlich die Sachlage. Um die anderen Fälle geht es hier.


Begriffe

Relevante Begriffe laut Straßenverkehrsordnung:

Gehsteig: ein für den Fußgängerverkehr bestimmter, von der Fahrbahn durch Randsteine, Bodenmarkierungen oder dgl. abgegrenzter Teil der Straße; [1] Abs. 1 Z 10

Straße: eine für den Fußgänger- oder Fahrzeugverkehr bestimmte Landfläche samt den in ihrem Zuge befindlichen und diesem Verkehr dienenden baulichen Anlagen; [1] Abs. 1 Z 1

This post will cover how to enter housenumbers quickly, and how to tag them in such a way that any mapper using streetcomplete will get tasks to tag the buildings as housenumbers.

This post assumes that you use JOSM. This is also focusing mainly on drawing suburban housing in the UK, as this post draws from my current experiences. A lot of this post may not be applicable everywhere else, but some of it could be useful to you.

What I will cover:

  • Streetcomplete housenumber quest preparation
  • BuildingTools (tips and tricks)
  • Lasso/free Select & Utilsplugin2
  • Terracer
  • Extrude Tool
  • JOSM Copy & Paste (+ adjustment, such as rotate/resize)

Streetcomplete tagging

Streetcomplete is an easy to use app for android (and maybe for IOS soon) that allows users who have no understanding of openstreetmap to contribute to the map. However, due to this nature of data input (tasks), it can only improve on already existing data.

One of the critical missing pieces of data in the UK is housenumbers. This has to be entered manually. Currently, it isn’t really something a beginner can do, due to the methods of surveying housenumbers requiring intermediate knowledge of openstreetmap. There are not that many intermediate mappers, and since housenumbers/housenames are present on every single house, geography limits how many housenumbers a intermediate mapper can map.

However, on the other hand, anyone can make 1000s of buildings quickly using JOSM. Once this is done correctly, housenumber quests will show up when someone installs StreetComplete. What is effectively means is anyone, even people without any understanding of OSM, can map housenumbers, which is critical data.

In order to make buildings show up as housenumber quests in Streetcomplete, they CANNOT be tagged “building=yes”

Rather, this is the tagging I use & recommend:

  1. building=house
  2. addr:street=xyz

It is essential to tag the “building=house” tag. Otherwise the streetcomplete quest will not show up.

Today I was able to go back to the original reason I started editing OpenStreetMap. No, it’s not so that local businesses are easier to find. No, it’s not so I can make my mark on the world. It’s because when I was running I kept finding that roads I was going to run on were either non-existent or that they were private.

Today while knocking off a small sub development on the north west corner of DeLand, I found myself following a path that ended in a fence. The route continued on, but it was obviously a private residence.

And so I ended up editing that road, splitting it into a public and private section. I also found a few typos in the street names of the sub development. And I added a sidewalk next to a highway. That way a runner will be able to find a safer way to run the road. (Unless they like running down the side of the road, trying to figure out if the driver coming their way was high or not.)

So today had a nice little set of edits.

I update the OSM Rank Table for the first time in over two years: http://jiografik.com/osmrank/table_planet.html

My own blended rank has slipped from #9 to #10, with import accounts “osmviborg”, “Reitstoen_import” and “JandaM” leaping up into the top 10.

I also updated the TIGER node/way burndown chart, and it shows the cleanup continues in an incredibly stable rate, exactly matching the trend line from previous years: TIGER burndown At this rate, we still have over 29 years before every imported TIGER node is touched, and over 9 years before every way is touched - hopefully, aligned and cleaned up.
