So, during my career, I discovered OpenStreetMap. While editing, I used Google Maps and Street View, and I shouldn’t have read the guide, which is not allowed on this site, especially when adding missing barangays.

Whoops. :/

Created account, Labor Day Weekend

good things compared to yesterday: no rain!!

bad things: nearly 30°C outside and So. Many. Bees. okay it wasn’t as many as i make it sound like but i am admittedly afraid of bees. not a great time

ANYWAY. i went and finished the side of thames street that i started yesterday, then did the other half on the way home. so im pretty sure ive accounted for almost everything on that street now! so i guess next on the list is the side streets. hopefully we get some days that are nice and cool so i dont suffer doing this haha

El Grupo de Usuarios de GNU/Linux de La Laguna celebrará un aniversario más y estaré participando con una conferencia y un taller de OpenStreetMap.

Se efectuará en la Universidad Tecnológica de Torreón el 25 de septiembre desde las 9:00 horas con conferencias y talleres.

La Conferencia

En la conferencia OpenStreetMap: Datos abiertos y más se enseñará al público asistente qué es OpenStreetMap (OSM), qué son los datos abiertos y cómo y por qué usar ambos ya sea en nuestros trabajos, en nuestra comunidad y, principalmente, en nuestra vida diaria.

El Taller de mapeo

En el taller Mapeando mi entorno se enseñará al público asistente a usar OpenStreetMap (OSM) para que puedan agregar a un mapa libre elementos que pueden enriquecer el mapa para todos quienes lo usamos.

Espero que todas las personas que conozcan y les interese el Software Libre nos puedan acompañar el 25 de septiembre desde las 9:00 horas.

Recuerden: 😃🐧 ¡La entrada es Libre, solo tienen que registarse aquí! 😃🐧

最近大阪市鶴見区内をマッピングしていますが、大体の建物の造形が実際と違ったり更地になってたり。近々修正などを始めるかな〜とか思ってのんびりしていますが、先に登録できそうな表示版だったり店舗などが全く進んでいなかったりと時間とやる気不足気味のためある程度の網羅はまだまだ先になりそうかもしれません。

そして関係ないですが最近鼻水が止まりません。ティッシュが足りない…。 もう一つどうでもいいことですが どうやってもこれ開くとGPUプロセスが飛ぶのですが…開ける方いませんか?

Hi everyone! I have been trying to edit some locations but the changeset size is exceeded (cause i forgot to upload after moving to the other country). I have no idea which nodes are from Portugal and which from Italy. Can someone help?

Thank you so much in advance

بيت

got out of the house for a bit today and got started adding/removing some businesses on thames street south, and adding info like hours and contacts to ones that were already there. headed home when it started raining but i feel like i got a pretty good amount done for one walk.

i only really focused on one side of the street to start, i was gonna do the other side on the way home but due to the rain ive just left it for another time. here’s to better weather this week 💜💜

Обеспечение загородного участка автономным водоснабжением — первоочередная задача для любого землевладельца. Традиционно для решения этой проблемы применяется крупногабаритная буровая техника на базе грузовых автомобилей (ЗиЛ, УРАЛ, КамАЗ). Однако на практике буровые бригады часто сталкиваются с объективными препятствиями: плотная застройка, наличие ухоженных газонов, проложенные подземные коммуникации, узкие ворота или линии электропередач, исключающие возможность подъезда и разворота тяжелых машин.

Soy nuevo espero pueda mejorar para seguir utilizando de manera adecuada esta app

When assigning Dakota and Lakota names to map elements, I am mainly drawing on the (often lifelong) work of others; very few of my changes are based on personal local knowledge. I have focused on sources who are either directly part of, or at least worked closely with, authentic Oc̣eti Ṡakowiƞ communities. This is the language of nations that are alive today, and they have things to say! My major sources include:

FAWKES FUCKS WITH FLOCK. Student in Chicago, Il, USA have developed a program that makes micro changes to your image that perverts the data FLOCK is collecting. Can’t trace what they can’t see again… worth the visit if you’re serious about privacy.

hey! wouldn’t be shocked if im only one of a handful of new canadian users trying to take a step away from google maps. i downloaded comaps earlier today (which uses openstreetmap) and noticed a handful of stuff in my little town is missing or out of date. so why not be the one to contribute?

im short on time this week (and there’s some awful rain right now) but i think sooner or later im going to take a stroll through town and update everything i can. it’ll be a lot more fun than just cross-referencing another map.

This weekend, I was at State of the Map 2026, the international OpenStreetMap conference, which took place in Paris this year. Here’s a brief, personal feedback and a round-up of a few presentations that stood out for me. You can also find all the videos at https://peertube.openstreetmap.fr.

NB: there is a French version here. This one was translated with the help of DeepL translate.

The most inspiring: cartes.app

Inspiring: cartes.app is a slightly mad project aimed at creating a new Google Maps, but without its car-centric bias. It started with a single contributor, but he’s managed to build a strong team around him: he has the insight to use the best open-source software components for his project – MapLibre for map navigation, vector tiles for map rendering, Photon for geocoding, and Transitious for public transport. Today, the developer is no longer working alone: he is securing funding and attracting contributors from around the world to improve his app and translate it so it can reach a global audience. It’s a wonderful project worth supporting, and you can do so by subscribing to cartes.app premium for just €1 a month.

The clearest: Use of OSM data by emergency services in Germany

A clear, practical and positive presentation by a contributor who is himself a member of a volunteer fire brigade. There is no longer any need to demonstrate the value of OSM to the emergency services: according to him, the use of OSM is widespread and extensive amongst German emergency services – as a base map, for specialised route planning, and for cartographic products in situation rooms, etc. A motivating call to contribute local knowledge to OSM: an unofficial address number displayed on a house number plate, the former name of a café still used by the local population, local place names, and of course all the information useful for lorry navigation: maximum width, bollards, etc.

The most surprising: How OSM inspire European standards for cycling infrastructure

todo bonito

Está actividad me permitió conocer más mi barrio y dar a una ubicación exacta la cual es muy factible porque así llegó a una ubicación exacta y me evita confundir la ubicación

so we have gotten a few questions about the project, mostly present in the first diary post we have made, but here we wanted to state a few basic things as a foundational- idk, statement so to say.

---

firstly, what are we actually doing and why?

so one night, at a random hackspace on the 25th of august, we were bored. and so with that boredom, we decided to fix something that had been annoying us for a long time; nearly every train station in germany that is not a transfer station, and honestly a lot that are!, are missing basic information about their track numbering, as well as generally just having a low quality of track and platform geometry (likely because most of that was put in automatically and no one bothered fixing it)

very quickly we realized, putting the exact sources (which, to be fair were more for reference than actual sourcing) into every single commit, of which there is at least one changeset per train station, was extremely tedious

so we made a post “hey we’re doing this thing”, to then go and have a way to simply refer to that project in the changeset commits, instead of the exact sources every single time.

this, has already gotten the attention of a few others on here, which honestly is both surprising, and humbling, as well as very motivating.

we are doing this, we will not stop doing this until we are done :3

---

secondly, how actually is information being sourced?

so this is fairly simple, but also very important to mention; while we have listed Bahnhof.de as a source, which at the time we did not realize could even theoretically be an issue, we technically did not even use it as a source- it simply is a good way to double check our work and to shove a url into the source field of our commits

in reality, here’s our source (in a sense); https://umap.openstreetmap.de/en/map/arson-railing_57214#7/51.075920/11.107178
