Another year has passed since my last entry, and it’s about two years ago that I resided in Bonaire for half a year. I want to visit again, but there’s that man on the side of my shoulder whispering things about a sustainable world :) (Meaning I can’t simply visit for a couple of weeks, but should stay for a longer period of time.)

Last year (2024), the Dutch government made high resolution aerial photos of Bonaire. I’ve already updated and mapped several areas based on this. As this information is both high resolution and recent it is very useful for mapping. You can find more information about this on https://www.beeldmateriaal.nl/dataroom-caribisch-nederland

In 2023 I stayed at the Hausmann Follies apartment complex. To compare the image quality, look at these photos:

Hi there, and thanks a lot for your contribution! 🌟 Just a little tip for future edits: keeping changesets small and local can make things smoother for everyone. It helps prevent conflicts, makes it easier for fellow mappers to review, and keeps the map even more accurate.

A few friendly suggestions: • Focus edits within a small geographical area (like a single city, district, or province) • Try not to mix far-apart locations in one changeset • Save/upload before starting work in a totally different area

If you’re curious, the wiki explains more here: osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Thanks again for your mapping energy, and happy mapping! 🗺️

Why is it important to remind both new and experienced users to keep changesets limited to a specific area? First of all, not all editors can handle loading large amounts of data, as happens with iD (link). More importantly, a large bounding box (covering, for example, half the world or all of Northern Italy) makes it harder for other mappers—both local and remote—to review the changes, even when using modern tools like Better OSM or OsmCha.

Ciao, e grazie mille per il tuo contributo! 🌟 Un piccolo suggerimento per i prossimi cambiamenti: mantenere i changeset piccoli e localizzati può rendere il lavoro più semplice per tutti. Aiuta a evitare conflitti, facilita la revisione da parte degli altri mappatori e mantiene la mappa ancora più accurata.

Alcuni suggerimenti amichevoli: • Concentrati su un’area geografica ristretta (come una singola città, un quartiere o una provincia) • Evita di mescolare località lontane nello stesso changeset • Salva/carica prima di iniziare a lavorare in un’area completamente diversa

Se sei curioso, la wiki spiega di più qui: osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Grazie ancora per la tua energia nel mappare e… buona mappatura! 🗺️

Introduction

Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team (HOT) is an international team dedicated to humanitarian action and community development through open mapping.

Accurate and up-to-date data is essential for effective humanitarian response. Validators use tools such as JOSM and the HOT Tasking Manager to identify and flag errors and mistakes. From experience, i know that this is a complex and time-consuming endeavor.

One tool to save time and enhance the validation process is OSMCha.

The funding for OSMCha is currently at risk, which could lead to the degradation of this invaluable tool. In this diary, i want to highlight the essential role OSMCha plays in my own (and other’s) validation and quality maintenance workflow.

What is OSMCha

OpenStreetMap Changeset Analyzer (OSMCha) is a tool designed to monitor and analyze changes made to OpenStreetMap data. It enables data validators to quickly identify potential issues, track changes, and ensure data quality.

In collaboration with a local team in Grünstadt, Mannheimer Mapathons e.V. completed the mapping of the historic Jewish cemetery in early 2024 after five months of data collection. The cemetery was used by the important Jewish community from around 1700 to around 1937 and comprises 464 gravestones that are still visible. A high-precision Sparkfun RTK Facet GPS receiver was used for the survey. A map has been available online since May 2024. In recent weeks, with the support of the Heidelberg University of Jewish Studies, the names and dates of many of the oldest purely Hebrew gravestones have been catalogued and integrated into the map data. The translation work will continue with the aim of supporting both descendants and historical research.

In Zusammenarbeit mit einem lokalen Team in Grünstadt hat Mannheimer Mapathons e.V. nach fünf Monaten Datenerhebung Anfang 2024 die Kartierung des historischen jüdischen Friedhofs abgeschlossen, berichtet RCD49. Der Friedhof wurde von der bedeutenden jüdischen Gemeinde etwa von 1700 bis ca. 1937 genutzt und umfasst 464 noch sichtbare Grabsteine. Für die Erfassung kam ein hochpräziser Sparkfun RTK Facet GPS-Empfänger zum Einsatz. Seit Mai 2024 ist eine Karte online verfügbar. In den letzten Wochen wurde mit Unterstützung von der Hochschule für Jüdische Studien in Heidelberg begonnen, Namen und Daten von vielen der ältesten rein hebräischen Grabsteine zu erschließen und in die Kartendaten zu integrieren. Die Übersetzungsarbeit wird fortgesetzt, mit dem Ziel, sowohl Nachkommen als auch historische Forschungen zu unterstützen.

Transjakarta, jaringan rute Bus Raya Terpadu (BRT) terpanjang di dunia ini menjadi tulang punggung transportasi umum di dalam Kota Jakarta. Dengan ratusan rute dan ribuan kendaraannya, Transjakarta menjadi bagian penting dalam identitas Kota Jakarta. Namun sayangnya, data rute dan infrastruktur pendukung Transjakarta kurang diminati untuk dipetakan. Hal ini mendorong saya untuk memetakan Transjakarta, setidaknya jaringan koridor utamanya terlebih dahulu.

Mengenal sistem Transjakarta

Transjakarta merupakan sistem jaringan bus kota di Jakarta. Ditinjau dari rutenya, rute Transjakarta terbagi menjadi dua, yakni rute BRT dan non-BRT. Rute BRT merupakan rute yang berjalan sepenuhnya di jalur khusus dan hanya berhenti di halte BRT. Sementara itu, rute non-BRT merupakan rute bus kota yang melayani halte di pinggir jalan dan biasanya tidak melewati jalur khusus. Sebagian kalangan membagi lagi rute non-BRT menjadi rute non-BRT yang juga melayani halte BRT dan rute yang sama sekali tidak melayani halte BRT (sepenuhnya melayani halte biasa di pinggir jalan).

Jalur khusus yang dimaksud pada kenyataannya tidak benar-benar “khusus”. Sebagian jalur khusus memang memiliki pembatas atau separator untuk memisahkan jalur untuk bus dan kendaraan lain. Namun, sebagian lainnya hanya berupa jalan yang diberi marka, sehingga pada kenyataannya juga dipakai oleh kendaraan lain. Sebagian lainnya bahkan tidak memiliki penanda apapun, sehingga bus “BRT” berjalan di jalan yang tidak memiliki perlakuan khusus apapun terhadap bus Transjakarta.

This is a compilations of what I sent to other people.

I have taken it from the cadastre at (https://seduvi.cdmx.gob.mx/programas-delegacionales-de-desarrollo-urbano), I was extremely surprised that CDMX’s cadastre has not being used because it is in the public domain (“Este programa es de carácter público, no es patrocinado ni promovido por partido político alguno y sus recursos provienen de los impuestos que pagan todos los contribuyentes.”) You only need to credit the source: “Agencia Digital de Innovación Pública “Sistema Abierto de Información Geográfica (SIGCDMX)” Disponible en: https://sig.cdmx.gob.mx/”.

After reading osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines, I will make a import page for CDMX data to serve as a documentation for where the data comes from.

Step 1

I download the data from (https://sig.cdmx.gob.mx/datos/descarga). There are two types of data there, the actual cadastry data “Descarga de datos del catastro” and landuse data “Descarga de datos SEDUVI”. The cadastry data is basically a bunch of points and I find that the only useful data there is the address data, which is fairly inaccurate.

It is better to download the landuse data since it has the polygons to work with. I download the shapefile from the “Descarga de datos SEDUVI” section. I’m working at Cuauhtémoc alcadia because it is the central alcadia of CDMX

Generally, since houses in Mexico are connected to each other, often the landuse is the building footprint itself. But, for more complex places like schools, churches, hospital, government areas, etc. it only covers the surrounding of the complex.
