Hintergrund

Ich bin sehr viel mit StreetComplete unterwegs. Mir ist dabei immer wieder aufgefallen, dass es einen bestimmten Typ Straße gibt, für den es überdurchschnittlich wahrscheinlich ist, dass man angesprochen - oder wenn man Pech hat: angepöbelt wird.

Ich nenne diesen Typ Straße “Sackgassenwohngebiet”. Also Straßen, an denen (meistens Einfamilien-) Häuser stehen, die aber nirgendwo sonst hinführen. Bedeutet: Wer dort nicht wohnt, hat dort auch eigentlich nichts zu schaffen. Zur besseren Visualisierung, so etwas meine ich: Eine Karte von einer Sackgassenwohnstraße

Due to ill-considered from the Wikidata community using old and outdate 2017 dataset from Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), Executive Yuan, Taiwan, the newly found villages in 2018, like the villages mass modification in Taiwan in 2018, or split villages due to increase population, these new villages was not included and imported into Wikidata. So there are some OpenStreetMap village relations could not link to Wikidata.

For the OpenStreetMap part, typebook using relative new and up-to-date shape files from National Land Survaying and Mapping Center, Ministry of Interior Affairs, to add the Code of Household Registration and Conscription Information System (HRCIS Code) and the followup Wikidata item. There are only mssing Zhengxin Village, Dauliu City, Yulin County on OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap Taiwan community could just add relation to fix the problem on OpenStreetMap.

For the Wikidata part, there are several users start to import villages data to Wikidata, which started from 2019. If you look closer to some of the Wikidata items, the reference they used link to files from the DGBAS, which is out-of-data and the last update time is 2017-01/31. DGBAS decide to switch to use the HRCIS Code. It indicated that Wikidata users using old dataset to import villages, so the 75 new villages was not included, is missing on Wikidata database.

When Wikidata Taiwan community start to deal with the villages data in 2020, there are many villages already combined in disappear. But due to the fact they used DGBAS out-of-date dataset, they could not found out their are missing mass amount of villages. The DGBAS also missing the villages English name, so we see the imported item missing English label.

OpenStreetMap не исключение.

МВД РФ не может работать 24/7 для целой планеты.

Нужны нормальные юр. лица. Нужны нормальные графики работы.

Законы в США или Ирландии это шутка. Где сейчас сервера OpenStreetMap стоят?

Я за тегирование по законодательству каждой из стран.

Законодательство РФ использует русский язык как один из государственных языков в РФ.

В английском языке и англоязычных странах не было столько троллейбусов.

Про международные стандарты это более тонкая тема для отдельного разговора.

Ключа “это” не было в OpenStreetMap. Был пяток-десяток других, у которых мало смысла.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys

Тегов OpenStreetMap никогда не было достаточно для описания даже троллейбусной сети в РФ.

Лично я слежу за OpenStreetMap около 15 лет.

Вывод только один.

OpenStreetMap это преимущественно любительский проект. Не нужно его оценивать слишком высоко.

Не нужно слишком долго искать смысл в тегах OpenStreetMap. Не нужно слишком долго искать смысл в процедурах OpenStreetMap.

Я чудовищно заблуждался в этих “чудо” проектах от Bomis (Wikimedia Foundation). Я чудовищно заблуждался в умалишённом фанатике Jimmy Wales из США-Великобритании.

Я чудовищно заблуждался в способностях МВД РФ. Я чудовищно заблуждался в способностях ФСБ РФ. Я чудовищно заблуждался в способностях Генеральной прокуратуры РФ.

In the year of twenty-twenty one, I still map using an external Bluetooth GPS receiver unit (yes, and yes, GPS explicitly refers to the American constellation only).

The device in question is Qstarz BT-Q818XT. It was updated with a firmware that kinda fixes the Y2K problem of GNSS.

Of course things can work with Android devices

Purchased in 2014, I used to hook it up with the BlueGps app with a tablet running Android Jelly Bean.

Latest Android versions shipped with devices come with time. The BlueGps app stopped working in Android KitKat. Luckily, there’s another app in the Google Play Store that still could do exactly that: it’s simply called as Bluetooth GPS. The APK copy of it is still able to function independently in devices without Google Play Services.

With latest dessert release, things start breaking up

Fast forward to the dessert release of Pie. Significant changes in more recent releases of Android means apps that no longer patched, with several legacy API calls begin to cease functioning properly. At least the app would just still work on Android 8.1.0 Oreo.

What other alternative is available?

Browsing through the Google Play Store appeared to be hopeless at first. Similar apps like Bluetooth GPS are common - they stopped received any updates for quite a long time. I don’t want to take the risk to give those shady apps a go, until I stumbled upon Bluetooth GNSS - GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou. What a long, descriptive name for an app.

No adverts? Cool? More like cooler! I took a dive.

Yes, it works on Android 9.0 Pie. As the time of writing (the app received an update on 26 May 2021), the app simply works on Nokia 2.2 running Android 11 (warning: a 6MB GIF!). I suspect it would run OK on devices with near vanilla Android (Pixel, Android One, etc).

Some disclaimer: I don’t receive anything to share this.

Some words that I left at the MapComplete Telegram Group:

Several years ago, there are some mappers start a drinking water map in Taiwan. These mappers are planing to change the map subject, using the code of the drinking water map to deploy more theme map to promote OpenStreetMap. But unfortunately we couldn’t get the resource to make it possible to get plenty of theme maps to get Taiwanese people interested.

Glad to see you guys got supported from OpenStreetMap Foundation, Open Knowledge Belgium, Trage Wegen, OSGeo Belgium, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, Missing Maps.

Some background information about the Drinking Water Map: 1, 2.

最近不知道怎麼了,近期 zh-CN 日記出現很多篇指控 OpenStreetMap 沒有遵守中國法律,標示台灣為獨立國家。

對於台灣人來說,看到這些指控很不舒服,不過還是打起精神來回應指出 OpenStreetMap 的政策、運作方式與精神,特別是爭議領土的處理方式。

台灣村里資料由於Wikidata社群處理上傳匯入時,由於拿主計處2017年資料來匯入,導致2018年新調整的村里,像是台南市里行政區大整併,還有一些因為人口多而分拆的里,並沒有新增到Wikidata。這導致在OpenStreetMap這邊有村里關係對應不到Wikidata。

至於在OpenStreetMap這邊,由於當初晉帆是用內政部國土測繪中心釋出的shape檔案,來處理對應戶役政系統代碼,還有後續對應Wikidata,採用比較新而且更新快的資料,因此在OpenStreetMap只差了一個2021 02/01成立的里,為雲林縣斗六市正心里,問題因此不大,新增關係就可以。

回到Wikidata這邊,2019年開始有Wikidata參與者匯入村里,細看一些村里項目用的參考文章,是用主計處的村里對應戶役政系統代碼的檔案。主計處檔案只更新到2017-01/31,之後就沒在更新,直接用內政部的戶役政系統代表。許多做村里匯入的人用到舊資料,導致後來新增的村里並不會匯入到Wikidata上面,總計有75個之後新增的村里,並沒有收錄到Wikidata。

Wikidata這邊做匯入的人,2020年弄村里,卻有不少村里那時候早已經整併消失了,卻因為採用主計處檔案而沒有察覺到問題。由於主計處檔案沒有附上英文名稱,我們也能在這些匯入的村里項目看到缺少英文標籤的狀況。

因此有兩件事情需要做,第一件事情是將Wikidata上缺漏的另一個是將整併的村里,在Wikidata標示整併的日期。在第一件事情完成後,OpenStreetMap社群才能為這些沒有Wikidata連結的村里關係加Wikidata連結。

未來還有屏東市與東港鎮的新增里,看起來會用新的戶役政系統代碼,OpenStreetMap由於是反映即時狀況,需要等到成立的那天才能編輯更新,不過Wikidata卻不是,可以預先編輯預定新增的里。目前先用hackmd撰寫台灣村里整理 (2021),協同OpenStreetMap與Wikidata台灣社群可以做的事情。

Slow going on the mapping project. Hoped to complete the Otago Dam Track today, but the stream had clearly flooded parts of the track recently which made it muddier than usual. Since this track has multiple stream crossings and a risk of flash floods it seemed unwise to carry on.

Track has been mapped up to the first major stream crossing, where the first flash flood area ends.

I ran into other walkers who had turned back and was able to direct them to Munro’s Gully walk which is of similar difficulty and length without the wet feet.


I opted to explore the part of the Gabriel’s Gully Interpretive Track that goes to Pollards Dam. Someone previously traced the trail into Open Street Map, but I had noticed the Pollards Dam section on OSM seemed much longer than the actual track.

It turns out there is a track that goes behind Pollards Dam. This track is not visible on any map I have of Gabriel’s Gully. It starts out along a ridge which overlooks Greys Dam to the right. At first I wasn’t sure it was really a trail, but there was a stile where a fence clearly used to be and a bench a short while later. Once past the overlook you enter into pine forest with a clearly marked trail that runs alongside Glendhu Forest Road. Unlike the Interpretive Track, this mystery trail uses plastic arrows. Unsure of how long the trail was and where it was going I did not complete it, but wondered if it linked up to the Munro’s Gully Track.

Interestingly, as I was leaving I ran into walkers I previously directed to Munro’s Gully. They did the Munro’s Gully trail, but also ended up on the mystery track, confirming my suspicions that it leads there.

This seems preferable to the official Munro’s Gully walk which has adventurers return via Glendhu Forest Rd, which is used for forestry operations and has no sidewalk.
