Working with the Chamber of Commerce in Northern Rio Arriba County NM. Want to update OSM for the area.

Glad to have you helping out! I personally love working in empty areas; there’s a lot more freedom. Please feel free to send me if you have any questions!

OSM Relatify: OpenStreetMap public transport made easy

This looks fantastic, and might get me interested in adding bus routes finally. Awesome job!

Started my first edit within my local area

Welcome to OSM! Let us know if we can help!

Trying to finish up the Chugach mountain area

Looks phenomenal! I’ve done some work mapping Mount Rainier National Park, so I know the pain of assigning natural types in those hybrid areas.

Using Washington State DNR LiDAR imagery in the iD editor

Very cool! I didn’t know this was available to help map some of the more difficult areas to map in WA. Thanks for the link and information on the background layer!

The state of Anchorage, Alaska on OSM

Hi Hans, you’ve made incredible progress with Anchorage! It’s always great to check in and see all the new features you are adding. Amazing job; I think you might be approaching Newton’s achievements!

Mapping Ballot Drop Box Location

Added on in the tiny town of Wishram in the Gorge recently, but this reminds me I should add more tags to it.

My first (and maybe last) blog entry

As an editor based on the US, I’m alway looking forward to hearing more from other US-based editors, especially given how pervasive Google Maps is in the US.

New to Open Street Map

Yep, if it’s a business with a physical location, then sure. The number of businesses in the area really depends on how many local mappers the area has.

My edits in Bergen County, part 14

Nice job, it’s awesome to see the progress you’ve been making!

Fixing Ellis Island's borders in the face of incorrect government data

This is really an interesting read. Great work with a serious level of attention to detail.

Extracting building height from drone imagery

Wow, that is really impressive. Some seriously professional work there!

Updates to DigitalGlobe imagery layers

Thank you for all your contributions! DigitalGlobe access has been an incredible asset to the OSM community.

The Maps Team at Facebook is excited to announce RapiD Editor Partner Testing

What a great tool! Hope this is released for all, as this might even help mapping in the US (West Virginia is a great example).

Departing Turkmenistan in June

Thank you for everything you’ve done to improve the map in one of the least mapped countries in OSM. I’ll miss the interesting diaries about your adventures around Turkmenistan, especially as someone who travels regularly to less developed countries for work. You and Ann are superstar OSM contributors.

Best of luck on your next assignment or wherever your work takes you.

My First Edit!

Welcome to OSM!

Saint Lucia forest

Great work! The before and after comparison is really cool. Really obvious how much work went into it.

Spotting solar panels in London

I know Google has machine learning pulling locations of solar panels from satellite imagery for their Project Sunroof tool. Seems accurate, if outdated at this point.

Definitely good to see some work going on to make renewables in all forms.

My edits in Bergen County, part 10

Awesome, looks great!

Three Days on the Road = About 30K Images

I always appreciate your diary entries. Really cool to see how perhaps the most accurate and up to date map of Turkmenistan is being developed.
