RETEX : Fin de mon trekking urbain recyclage

à suivre peut-être :

• entrée de journal (à venir) : Rencontres au fil des randonnées cartograpuiques
• entrée de journal (à venir) : Questions existentielles sur ma rencontre avec panoramax
• entrée de journal (à venir) : Questions existentielles sur OSM et le monde Wikimédia

Mon trekking urbain recyclage est maintenant fini (en ce qui concerne la tentative de cartographie de tous les points d’apport volontaire de l’intercommunalité GPS&O.

Bilan quantitatif.

J’avais estimé au départ 240 noeuds à créer et la pratique m’a clairement détrompé. j’en suis à :

• 1659 noeuds PAV et 8 déchèteries créés (ou complétés s’ils existaient déjà)
• 320 km parcourus à pied pour passer devant chacun de ces points, les géolocaliser et les photographier (sans compter bien sûr les plus de 500 km en voiture électrique pour aller et revenir aux départs des 32 boucles pédestres)
• 6000 photos prises (une par une, pas de séquence GoPro), dont 2000 versées à Panoramax

The goal of this project is to improve address coverage in the City of Brampton on OpenStreetMap by verifying and adding missing address information using open data provided through the Brampton GeoHub. The DATASET includes authoritative municipal address points, which serve as a reliable source for accurate street names, house numbers, and related attributes.

Data Source: - Dataset: Municipal Address Points - License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) - Attribution: “Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Brampton.”

Scope: - City of Brampton only - Single-family dwellings and clearly matched building polygons

26 Nov 2025, Edit: Project paused until a suitable dataset with a compatible usage license can be obtained. Thank you to users pointing out the Brampton license may not cover OSM usage.

Okay, warum nicht mal filmen, was man so bei OpenStreetMap für Änderungen vornimmt?

Geht zum Glück schneller als gedacht, auch wenn das erste Video nur ein One-Shot ist, ohne weitere Bearbeitungen und ohne Ton. Naja, die bewegten Bilder sprechen für sich.

About eight months ago I started mapping my hometown, and earlier today I reached a major milestone of having gone over everywhere boxed in by the Sabine River Diversion Canal and the CPKC railroad. I’ve gotten a lot more detailed and generally more accurate with mapping, so rather than moving on I’m going to do a (hopefully much quicker) second pass, particularly for where I did not yet start using street-level imagery to verify road names, building/business names, and other micromapping targets I like to do (an embarrassing number of power poles and street lamps). I expect to have every road de-tigered and every visibly signed POI named sometime next year. From that point on I think I’ll focus on de-tigering the rest of the road network in the parish, then maybe start mapping other nearby towns.

As part of the Ireland chapter of OpenStreetMap a few years ago I set up a tileserver and a map frontend that defaulted to showing placenames in the Irish language (Gaeilge). Recently I spent some time improving both these services.

Vector Tileserver

Previously the default style was named ‘ga’ and available at: https://tileserver.openstreetmap.ie/styles/ga However, last weekend I added a new ‘style’ named ‘sraid-v1’. You can take a look at it here: https://tileserver.openstreetmap.ie/styles/sraid-v1/ The screenshots below show a comparison. The new style is much brighter and has icons generated from Maki icons into a sprite sheet (see generate_sprites.py in the github repo). I also fixed a few things I didn’t like about the old ‘ga’ style.

If you are currently using tiles from tileserver.openstreetmap.ie and want to use the new ones, you will need to change the code where it currently points to: https://tileserver.openstreetmap.ie/styles/ga/ You can now use: https://tileserver.openstreetmap.ie/styles/sraid-v1/ So to use this vector tileset you might use something like the code below with MapLibreGL var map = new maplibregl.Map({ container: 'map', style: 'https://tileserver.openstreetmap.ie/styles/sraid-v1/style.json' + keyParam, hash: true, maxPitch: 85 }); The previous style ‘ga’ is still present so there should be no breaks in functionality if you choose to continue using the old style. The code is available here: https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/irish-language-osm-tiles

Dear OSM users,

I need to inform you that, unfortunately, the Toledo Province area is quite neglected and lacks detail. This isn’t anyone’s fault, obviously; it’s something that needs improvement, and together we can fix it. Furthermore, one of the most populated areas of Toledo, the La Sagra region and its surroundings, lacks updates and good features. We also cover the southern Madrid area, which also lacks updates.

WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THIS AREA.

LET’S DO SOMETHING BIG.

Thanks for reading.

Queridos usuarios de OSM

Necesito comunicaros que por desgracia la zona de la Provincia de toledo esta bastante abandonada y con pocos detalles esto no es culpa de nadie obviamente es una cosa a mejorar y que todos unidos podemos arreglar ademas una de las zonas mas pobladas de toledo la provincia de la sagra y alrededores carecen de modificaciones y buenos detalles tambien abarcamos la zona del sur de madrid que tambien carece de actualizaciones

NECESITAMOS GENTE QUE LE PREOCUPE LA ZONA MENCIONADA

HAGAMOS ALGO GRANDE

Gracias por Leer

Nuestro estimado Sanchi, Borra cosas que ni sabe si estan bien sin control. Porfavor si os judga,elimina u os hace algo parecido porfavor contactar conmigo. Muchas grracias por su colaboracion

He tenido que añadir muchas cosas a este lugar durante mi jornada laboral. Necesito a alguien que, conmigo, añada a Getafe lugares que aún no están en el mapa. Por favor, escríbanme en privado para decirme quién quiere colaborar en este proyecto llamado: ¡Ayudemos a Getafe! Avísenme si les interesa. Leeré sus mensajes. Adiós, Kitsunderoku

Por favor escribidme si estáis convencidos de que Getafe necesita editores y uniros a mi para mejorar OpenStreetMap en Madrid.

I was checking the map in all of the world and i see things that broke my eyes. I never been there but the things i found are don’t common.

I had to add so many things to this place during my courent day in the job. I need someone that with me add to Getafe some things that there aren’t on the map. Please, write me in private to let me now who want to colaborate in this proyect that is name: Lets help Getafe!!!! Let me now who is interesed writting me. I will read your menseges. Bye Kitsunderoku

More recently I find myself addicted to OSM once more after a long hiatus. I guess working in the civil road design space has me interested in capturing features around the streets such as crossings, sidewalks, street furniture and recreation spaces.

I’m shocked by the number of sidewalks I have found that cross a street not as a crossing. I’m fixing these as I find them.

My end goal is to try and resolve as many items from StreetComplete as I can around where I live and work, adding to the accuracy of the overall map model locally.

Neue Edits

Da ich Organic Maps am Handy nutze und entdeckt habe, dass manche Informationen oft jahrealt und überholt sind, bearbeite ich nun wieder OSM.

Sammlung - öffentlich zugängliche Klavier

Eine Idee, die ich umsetzen will, ist eine Art Übersichtskarte von öffentlich zugänglichen Pianos und Flügeln. Ich finde es selbst oft sehr reizvoll beim Reisen, wenn man als Musiker ein freistehendes, öffentlich zugängliches Instrument wie ein Klavier entdeckt und darauf spielen darf.

Collaborating to add verified information to OpenStreetMap can significantly improve global navigation and community planning. I am a firm believer that each contribution helps create a more accurate, accessible, and connected world. Together, we can truly make a difference!

LostAlone

Having grown up in the Current River Area there are many same details I was able to add to the map such as small back roads that are mainly used my locals. Additionally one thing I noticed with is that many features where outdates. There where restaurants and stores that closed down years ago and new ones have since opened up in their place. So I updated the map to have the newest data. From using openstreetmap I learned a lot about citizen mapping and the people who live in an area know it the best to map it. But also using a mapping website open to the public comes with risks of inaccuracies. What I found to be challenging was that some houses weren’t properly lined up so it impacted when I tried to add a new house.

… and following on from the previous entry, Maps for Garmin devices at map.atownsend.org.uk now show crossing details too:

The following tags from the top-level feature are shown:

• traffic_signals or crossing
• The value of crossing if it adds extra information
• The value of crossing:island, crossing:marked, crossing_ref etc. if they add extra information.
• Information from tactile_paving and kerb.

All of this might be truncated for length (it is here), but the most important information does appear.
