We don't need users attached to OSM services: the more profit they bring 3-party service providers, the better. The data itself is free, and is guaranteed to be free forever. Services for processing the data are paid-for, and that's a job for 3-party services. We offer data and we offer a choice. OSM owes you the data, but doesn't owe anything on top of that. OSM is not a business, it can't lose any competition because of that.

Please do not mix data and tiles/services.

Doesn't matter. Had profit = commercial. Registered as a company = commercial.

$4..5 per month is not "noncommercial", it's just cheap. There were two providers, one failed to build a sustainable business model. That's all.

There are many services providing data extracts, tiles, iframes, routing, geocoding. Just for tiles, there are 20+ competing commercial providers. OSMF doesn't want to become 21st and enter the competition, because that will lower resources to do our job: providing the data.

Please mention that the layer pictured cannot be used for tracing into OSM, since it is protected by the copyright. We all understand it, but more recent contributors might get a wrong idea.

I'd recommend installing maps.me and adding POIs to the map the entire time :) That's how I spent my last trip.

And thanks for your work!

So basically anyone in the OSM community who wants to have the latest imagery from Sentinel 2 has to go through you? And if they are too shy to ask, they will be met with "you failed my social experiment" blame?

How much of this Landsat 8 tutorial can be used for processing Sentinel 2 images?

Tomas, there was 460 changesets made with maps.me in Lithuania. So you claim that nearly half of edits in your country are bad. The change stream looks okay, besides maybe some edits by ЮрийИ. If your problem with that particular user, or with all edits made with maps.me?

GOwin, every user editing with maps.me is registered using their validated e-mail address. So they are definitely getting all messages. But as it is often the case with newbies, they may be a bit scared to answer, especially if they are met with a rude welcome.

There is for me. Could your ad-blocker block the captcha?

В OpenStreetMap нередко есть входы в здание. Просто на стиле osm.org они не отображаются — но видны, например, в maps.me или на стиле MapSurfer, используемом на сайте openstreetmap.ru.

И двачую, 2GIS, как и другие источники, типа яндекса и гугля, нельзя использовать для уточнения OSM.

So true.

(you should translate this into English :)

You want to revert the work of 27 thousand users each registered with their own name and e-mail just because most of them haven't read the Map Features wiki page? Yay, way to go!

And yes, I indeed read this and the previous entries as bullying. Mostly because of the hatred and lack of concrete arguments.

Actually, addr:city tag can be found on address points: nodes without any tags besides addr:*. These are pretty common in Europe and a lot of other countries where detailed imagery for tracing building is not available.

thermo_nuclear, хорошая попытка троллинга, но нет.

1) Новичку в JOSM накосячить значительно сложнее, так как в нём есть отличный валидатор, и редактор не пытается скрыть модель данных.

2) В этой теме обсуждаем редактор maps.me для мобильных устройств.

We have a release cycle of one month. Therefore we can't fix out mistaked quickly, except for the big ones.

Alan, "partial upload" means exactly that: maps.me doesn't know in advance which changes are being uploaded, so it updates the changeset comment after it has done. And sometimes user's internet connection get broken, resulting in such partial uploads with non-descriptive names.

Thanks saintam1! Also, you can now monitor edits in Bulgaria: http://py.osmz.ru/mmwatch/?country=Bulgaria

Did you consider raising village/hamlet lables some zoom levels higher? So that Russia (and other scarsely-populated areas) doesn't look that empty.

Что-то залип и случайно сделал https://github.com/mapsme/omim/pull/3505

These people register in OSM using their verified e-mail addreses. Some use facebook/google account for that, hence the real names. So if you answer to any of the notes, or comment a changeset, they will definitely get your reply.

Вот тебе ещё отличная цитата Ричарда Фэйрхёрста десятиминутной давности: «bridleways in the UK aren't specifically "horse tracks", they're just paths with a legal right of passage for horses, walkers and cyclists. very often there will be plenty of walkers and very few horses using it. Here's a nice bridleway near us - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1014299». Короче, мы для этого path используем, а на самом деле... :)
