I worked a little more on Crowder. It may be a small town compared to my home town but it takes a lot more concentration. I don’t know the area and there isn’t as much on line information meaning I have to be slow and deliberate with how I map. I want to do right by Crowder.

I worked on two city blocks.

The #30DayMapChallenge is a social media event where map enthusiasts create daily maps based on a set theme throughout November. You can find more details on the website 30daymapchallenge.com.

After observing the challenge for many years, I participated for the first time in 2025.

I wanted to use the challenge to better understand fundamental mapping concepts. It wasn’t primarily about creating especially beautiful or eye-catching maps. Rather, I am working on a small project where I create vector tiles for small areas—mostly using free software and open formats like Shortbread and Versatiles. At the same time, I am increasingly experimenting with self-created vector tiles and custom styles. So far, I have used Tilekiln or Tilemaker for the tiles, and for styling, I used Glug for the first time. Since I also enjoy Leaflet, I include a Leaflet map wherever it fits better.

In this article, I want to experiment with my designs and work on questions that are still open in my to-do list, or simply try out something new.

It’s relatively common for various national and regional GNSS correction networks to be referenced in a CRS other than WGS84 used in OpenStreetMap. The reason for this practice is that countries and regions use their own coordinate systems, most suitable for the territory they cover.

For example, the Oregon Real-Time GNSS Network (USA) uses NAD83 (2011) epoch 2010.00, according to their website.

It means that any RTK measurement taken while receiving NTRIP correction data from such a network will be referenced to the same CRS. That applies directly to the NMEA data output of the receiver, despite it normally being implied to be in WGS84. The majority of receivers available to amateurs are incapable of being configured to be aware of that. (The only sub-$1k receiver core I’m aware of that can “understand” the NTRIP CRS defined manually is Septentrio Mosaic.)

So, unless you perform a transformation from said CRS to WGS84, your tracks are going to be completely unsuitable for submission into the OSM public tracks database.

However, there’s a pretty straightforward way to perform the required transformation. Unfortunately, it’s “a little” longer than ideal for the exact same reason that NMEA data is implied to be in WGS84, so feeding a NMEA log directly may result in the reader ignoring the input CRS override.

The key tool for this is, coincidentally, JOSM. Here’s the workflow that functions just fine in my experience:

New values in map legend

I look after a map style that’s designed to show rural pedestrian-focused information (hiking routes etc.). It natively supports zoom levels up to raster 24 and vector 26 (which is equivalent to raster 27), which means that small things like fire hydrants and manholes can be shown at high zooms without getting in the way of everything else. The raster and vector versions differ slightly, partly for technological restrictions (finding out “which routes this guidepost is part of” is easier on vector than raster).

A big question, though, is how do I find out what is missing? The styles evolved from an overlay for the the OSM Carto raster style in 2014 and have been added to ever since. However, the things that people map in OSM has increased a lot in that time. Sometimes I spot something obvious that’s missing, but how do I make sure that I haven’t ignored some relatively high-usage and important tag?

As usual, I don’t remember what site got me interested in the topic, but here we are anyways.

What are mounting blocks?

They are raised platforms or sometimes even flights of several steps used to mount and dismount horses, carriages, and I believe maybe also to load luggage onto the roof of a carriage. This helps short people or people with other physical restrictions (back in the day women trying to ride their horses side saddle in dresses) to enjoy horse riding. In the UK, for example, they are protected structures. In Ireland, they are not, and I have not searched further than that.

Where can I find mounting blocks?

Привет!

Меня зовут Александр. На ОСМ я совсем недавно в качестве картографа, но пользуюсь картами уже более десяти лет.

Что заставило стать картографом?

Дело в том, что многие навигаторы для незрячих основываются на данных ОСМ. Получается, что иногда мы ходим по местам, которых давно нет, а новых не появляется. Просто решил по мере своих скромных сил вносить правки для тех мест, где часто бываю и про которые мне известно.

Техническая сторона вопроса

Для снятия координат использую навигационное приложение Seeing Assistent Go. В среднем, точки фиксируются с точностью 5 метров. В виду того, что у меня есть ограничения зрения, точную позицию на карте я установить не могу.
Пакеты правок формирую при помощи навигатора “Osmand”. Там это делать легко. Стоит лишь знать координаты места, которые хочешь добавить и данные о нём. Всё в достаточной мере доступно для программ экранного доступа.

К сожалению, попытка вносить правки через сайт ОСМ увенчалась неудачей. Не смог разобраться в интерфейсе и добавить место, потому в дальнейшем буду пользоваться исключительно Османдом.

Что сделано?

Немногое.

  • Отредактированы названия для нескольких остановок. В нашем городе недавно случилось их масштабное переименование, и карты ОСМ за ним не поспели.
  • Обновлена информация о тех местах, где я работаю и о нескольких недавно посещённых.

Что в планах?

Планомерно добавлять информацию об известных мне объектов. Добиться права на получение оперативных данных карт.

Заключение

Собственно, всё! Буду рад, если мои правки проверят опытные члены сообщества и, при необходимости, их скорректируют. Вдруг маркер точки подвинулся не туда или случилась другая беда! Всем желаю успехов и мирного неба над головой!

Sou formado em Engenharia Florestal desde o ano de 2022, nas especialidades de Maneio de Recursos Naturais e em GIS. Como profissional, tenho actuado em Sistemas de Análise e Monitoramento espacial de Área verdes, recolha de dados topográficos e de biodiversidade em campo.

Ultimamente venho apresentando fortes hbilidade no uso dos SIG’s voltados para Mapeamentos de terras, Ordenamento territorial, Avaliação de Riscos e Impactos Ambientais e Cartografia aplicada. Possuo experiências de trabalhos (em campo e escritório) com aparelhos GPS, Rovers GNSS-RTX, Total Station, e tenho apresentado proeficiência no uso de diversos Softwares de Informação geográfica (UTM GeoMap, ArcMap, QGIS e QField, Google Earth Pro e Mozland Survey).

Sou usuário de dados do OSM a bastante tempo usando plugns no QGIS e ArcMap, porém começei a contribuir com o mapeamento para o OSM recentimente. Estou sempre a procura de oportunidades de aprendizagem, carreira e trabalho ligados aos Sistémas de Informação Geográficas, mapeamentos remoos e presenciais, e análises de dados geoespaciais. Meus melhores cumprimentos a todos proficionais ligados ao GIS.
