Local Knowledge in Maps

That aspect is partially covered by Strava Heatmaps, a tool that is useful to catch many of the minor roads. Problem is that it only shows places were runners or cyclists go, not all places. Another tool that can be used by pedestrians is Mapillary on smartphone.

Camera tripod prototype to capture Mapillary images by bike

Impressive job, But what about safety? I would be worried about possibly injuring people in case of an accident. I am sure your bicycle liability insurance would not pay. I am not a legal expert, but I would be worried. I had looked in the past into a solution for a high-mount (360°) camera for Mapillary and had come to the conclusion that it needs to be at least a tripod both for security and stability reasons,

Why I won't contribute to Mapillary anymore

Montrouge à 360° avec Mapillary

Compliments, really nice job.

I would like to copy your approach, using a bicycle or a tricycle.

Some questions:

  • Did you fix the selfie stick to your body ?
  • It looks as you used sometimes a scooter or bicycle? Did you fix the selfie stick to the scooter/bicycle?
  • How sensitive is the result to keeping the camera/stick always vertical?
  • Do you have documentation for the modification of JOSM and of the photoadjust plugin?

Best regards

Water in OpenStreetMap

What about two-directional waterways? Two categories spring to mind: a) Irrigation systems where the flow direction is controlled by sluice gates b) waterways that connect lagoons and the sea, where the water flow direction is tide-dependent

In these case the arrow direction is arbitrary. Or is there a tag for this specific situation
