I definitely seem to love this website. Afterall, it allows me to add some facilities thanks to data provided by french government services : electricity substations, monuments, post boxes, various problems, …

For today, the main municipalities I worked on with OsmOse are Paluel, Néville, Cailleville, Angiens, Cany-Barville, etc… . I also fixed merged adresses and shops so that data is associated accordingly. I started to fix issues in the Rouen metropolis as well, however it will take a few days to finish the whole city considering its size.

Little announcement : I plan to set sort of a weekly schedule to the tasks I want to do. This way, each day of the week will be dedicated to one task in particular, and will have a special name ; for example, SamedInspector (for non-french speakers, it means that saturday would be dedicated to OSM Inspector). Also, even though I will have a weekly schedule, I will switch from 1 entry/day to 1 entry/week that will contain everything I’ve done within the last 7 days.

This is the first time I try micromapping in OSM. It took quite a while to learn the appropriate tags for some amenities, but I got there in the end. For a first, I decided to focus on an open area I know very well, which is a square in my hometown. I didn’t do much in terms of area coverage, but it is still pretty noticeable. By the way, if you want to check if I’ve done my job correctly, please note that less than one year ago, all hedges and trees that surrounded the square were torn down ; no idea why considering it looked awesome, now it is pretty dull and flat.

Here’s what it looks like, and considering how it is rendered, I can’t resist feeling proud :

It seems that I tend to forget to publish my daily diary entry on time ; I’ll do my best to do so, even for light workloads

Yesterday, I rode my bicycle to check on-site issues that I noticed with addresses in Saint-Valery-en-Caux. I managed to fix them all, and to map a few fire hydrants as well.

I wish to thank the OsmAnd team for their app : this diary entry was possible thanks to them and their app. Features such as audio/video notes and offline OSM notes were very helpful during this bicycle ride.

Yesterday, I worked on two municipalities : Jumièges and Saint-Valery-en-Caux, the latter being the one in which I live. I used once again the Pifomètre tool to add adresses. However, I don’t think I’ve finished everything in Jumièges, so I’ll have to work on this municipality again today.

I finished solving my personal OSMose issues (mainly level 3) and other ones in municipalities around Saint-Valery-en-Caux.

To correctly tag some services, I needed to use Pifomètre for two municipalities.

I also fixed a few issues in OSM Inspector around Saint-Valery-en-Caux and Rouen, although it is pretty difficult to understand what’s wrong sometimes.

Another OSM user rightfully told me that one edit I did on bus lanes in Rouen was wrong in terms of tags, so I managed to correct it.

I decided to fix, once again, all of the issues attributed to me by OSMose. I managed to fix almost all of them for levels 1 and 2. I’ll probably fix the level 3 ones tomorrow.

Today, I also discovered the OSMose map. I already knew about the website itself, but only on its personal list form. Therefore, I decided to fix almost all the issues in my hometown, Saint-Valery-en-Caux. I briefly also fixed issues in Rouen and Barentin.

I won’t add the links of my changesets anymore, as I’m too lazy to do so (lol).

Hello everyone, I have come to the conclusion that the daily mapping challenge I started was probably too ambitious considering my daily life (mainly univ), so I have no choice but to downgrade my ambitions unfortunately. I still will make my best to contribute everyday to OSM and to make daily diary entries, however they won’t be all about mapping a random municipality.

Today (or rather, yesterday), I worked on Illois. Near this little village, there is the A29 highway and the D 929 road. There aren’t too many single-family homes, mainly because quite a few buildings are for agricultural purposes.

Well it has been a while. As the result, I’m 3 cities late. Fortunately, one week of holidays is coming, so I will have quite a lot of time to catch up.

Today, I worked on Harcanville. It is a small village near Doudeville, a bigger city. It is mainly made of single-family homes, but there are quite a few agricultural buildings also.

I’m still late : I was supposed to do a municipality with the letter H today. I probably won’t do the letter I tomorrow either, nor Wednesday, however I’m pretty sure I will be able to on thursday.

Today, I worked on Gaillefontaine. For a rural city it is actually pretty diverse in terms of construction : the center has historic buildings, but it is mainly surrounded by single-family homes. The northwest has an industrial area though, and it looks like there are monuments on the southeast.

Today, I worked on Fallencourt. This village is smaller than the previous ones I worked on for my challenge, however something big is nearby, the A28 highway (I’d guess it creates quite a lot of noise). There is a bus stop in the center, however it isn’t used as far as I know, apart maybe by school buses.

Yes I know, I already missed a day for my challenge. Apologies, I will do 2 cities tomorrow.

Today, I worked on Écalles-Alix. For once, it’s not only sngle-family detached houses, as there are a few semi-detached houses (yeah not much better but still)

Here is my first diary entry. A few days ago, I gave myself the following challenge : every day, I will map one city in my department (Seine-Maritime, 76, France), going to the next letter in the alphabet for the next day, and so on. I will mainly map adresses (thanks to the Pifomap tool) ; precise roads’ paths and buildings’ positions ; and create driveways. There are 709 cities in total to map, but some will be easier to map than others for sure. The previous cities were Allouville-Bellefosse, Bacqueville-en-Caux and Cailleville.

Today, I worked on Dampierre-en-Bray. This rural municipality apparently is a relay for cyclists. There is the regional n°527 bus line operated by NOMAD Cars that passes nearby. Lots of single-family homes, as usual in my countryside.
