I have the suspicion that my phone is tagging the GPS location for some photos rather wrongly (timed offset is my guess). Found this out when comparing the locations against those indicated on JOSM photo overlay.

This despite the phone getting both L1 and L5 signals, and running with no sim card which should reduce cpu load further since there’s not much background processes that need to be handled.

To say I’m pissed is rather an understatement. Moving on, I will try leaving the phone to only record gps track and then matching photos from my cameras to that. No electronic shutter so extra wear and tear on that mechanical one! Shoulda bought that oly em10 back then.

Day-27

  • I wish you all a fantastic new year, 2024 to you. I hope this year will bring new challenges, new things to learn, and new findings with atma samikhyan.
  • Pascal’s sites are up; I am in the top 4 now.

Bhubaneswar, Odisha

  • Almost all central Bhubaneswar building mapping I have completed.
  • The next task will be to complete the peripheral areas.
  • Next, I will start adding PoIs into the buildings. I am unsure if marking buildings and adding PoIs simultaneously is recommended or if I plan to return for the PoIs in the next phase.
  • I am going to Bhubaneswar next month to gain some on-the-ground knowledge on new developments around.

Rest of Odisha

  • Malkanagiri roads addition is almost complete.
  • Koraput roads addition just started near the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha border.

Looking ahead

  • The progress is pretty slow, and I do not know how many days or months I will need to map the entire Odisha. Can I do it?
  • To speed things up, should I start an OSM Odisha group? I’m not sure if any other person will be interested.

Heute, beim erstmaligen Versuch des Mappings mittels streetcomplete versuche ich vergeblich, die Funktion der Längenmessung auf einem Smartphone zu aktivieren. Ich nutze ein Fairphone4, das Google ARCore nicht unterstützt. Es funktioniert also nicht. Keine Augmented Reality, keine Entfernung. Ich benutze also eine einfache Variante, um die Breite von Fahrwegen zu bestimmen: die Schrittlänge. Die beträgt bei meiner Grösse durchschnittlich 75 cm. Also einfach die Fahrbahnbreite abgegangen (Achtung, Verkehr!) und dann auf die vollen Meter auf- oder abgerundet. Mehr verlangt die App auch gar nicht: runde Meter.

Man kann es sich auch schwermachen in der digitalen Welt, oder einfach, indem man sich ein wenig unabhängig macht und selber denkt!

OSM-MX

Si alguien necesita mostrar algo en un mapa puede usar OpenStreetMap para ello. Varias empresas, instituciones y aplicaciones lo usan ya sea para uso particular, institucional o gubernamental.

Existen listados donde se muestra que países y organizaciones lo usan.

En el caso de México se tiene un listado de ello aquí:

Si usas OpenStreetMap en:

  • tu empresa
  • tu escuela
  • tu proyecto

no dudes en agregarlo a esta lista.

Con toda confianza puedes enviarme ya sea por X/Twitter, mastodon o telegram el link del sitio donde se muestre que se está usando OpenStreetMap y con gusto lo subiré.

I completed my first 100+ physical addressing on Magnolia Ave., Birch Run Ave., Redwood Rd., Hickory Rd., Elder Pl., Hemlock Dr., and Beech Pl. The project took about 3+ hours to complete. I’m new but will soon get into other tasks. ChangesetID: osm.org/changeset/145716852

I got my husband to join me and help me with mapping today. We went from approx. State Line Road in KC on 43rd St (we think of it as 43rd though there is a stretch that’s Westport Rd) and down to the west end of it just beyond Mission.

We went to Sway Coffee Roasters and had a nice cup of coffee/tea, and got to say hello to some sweet dogs that another customer brought with them. The dogs visited everyone within leash distance and everyone seemed happy to see them. Little random encounters are what make me love the city so much.

My plan next is to visit the stretch of 43rd east of Gillham Park, and to touch some of the “nodes” I skipped over when going along the length of it, like St Luke’s and various parks etc.

Dernier update de l’année 2023, une année que je me réjouis de quitter pour diverses raisons.

Toujours un peu la même chose sur OSM avec pas mal de micromapping et quelques ajouts de bus dans l’ouest de la région liégeoise, et c’est ce que l’on retrouve cette semaine dans les vidéos :

Améliorons Seraing (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 23 (Le Proxibus de Seraing) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel j’ajoute une deuxième branche du Proxibus de Seraing (et me trompe lamentablement dans un détail que je corrige juste après)

Améliorons Flémalle (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 1 (Le terminus des Chaffours) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel je corrige le terminus des Chaffours à Flémalle. Ah oui, et c’est une nouvelle série parce que j’ai remarqué à quel point cette commune avait besoin d’un bon coup de peinture avec cette vidéo et la suivante qui est…

Améliorons Flémalle (sur OpenStreetMap, principalement en musique) - Épisode 2 (La ligne de bus 42) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel j’ajoute la ligne de bus 42, toujours dans Flémalle donc

Voilà donc pour cette semaine, et cette année 2023 je suppose. Pour le moment j’ai pu garder ce rythme, et on verra bien si on peut continuer ainsi.

A+

kříž Turkův v lese

LOKACE: Kříž se nachází ve východní části Mutěnického lesa (Dolní Kapánsko), při cestě.

DEDIKACE: “Ku cti a chvále Boží na památku svého tragicky zemřelého syna Michala věnovali manželé Michal a Marie Turkovi, v Dol. Bojanovicích L. P. 1941.”

NÁPISY: “Na tomto místě zemřel dne 20. 12. 1939 tragickou smrtí Michal Turek. V mladém věku 21 let. Zdráv jsem práci v lese nastoupil nic netušil, že víc se s tohoto místa domů nevrátím. Zde těžký strom mne k zemi porazil a již nikdo mne k životu nevzbudil. Viz jak smrt zrádně číhá ani se nenadáš. Ráno s úsměvem jsem rodný dům opouštěl, v poledne se sestrou zde poseděl a objedvál a ve čtyři hodiny náhle Pán na věčnost mne odvolal. Kdo půjdeš okolo a měls mne rád, zde zastav se a pomodli za mne Otčenáš. Dřímej sladce tichý svůj dočasný sen - my na Tebe v životě nikdy nezapomenem. Buď s bohem synu nám tak milý - naše srdce stále pro Tebe truchlí.”

Based on a coincidence, I used Overpass in my area to try to identify objects marked for removal that are older than period X. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage it so easily and at the same time had the idea whether it wouldn’t be better to check this on site via street complete. In the course of the GitHub issue, however, it turned out that it doesn’t really fit the core of Street Complete.

So back to Overpass and the good old query in advance to be able to check it later on site. With the help of other OSM users on Telegram, the following query was created, which can be easily customized:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Fml

To be on the safe side, the overpass query is shown here as code:

//Check for Stages of decay
//based on the idea of:
//https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5402

[out:json][bbox:{{bbox}}][timeout:800];
//gather informations about non-excisiting objects
//and store the data as "gone"
(
  nw[~"^demolished:.*$"~"."];
  nw[~"^razed:.*$"~"."];
  nw[~"^removed:.*$"~"."];
  nw[~"^destroyed:.*$"~"."];
)->.gone;

//substract any gone-object, that was last modified
//within the last X years
(.gone; - nwr.gone(newer:"{{date:1year}}"););

out geom;
