Having both GoPro Hero11 and Max360, I was curious whether there would be any use from running both cameras at the same time. While Max 360 captures all around, would Hero 11 possibly have better resolution, which could be useful for streetview platforms like Mapillary and Panoramax, thus also providing additional detail for OSM mapping?

Here’s the same object - a surveillance camera - from both action cameras. Hero11 is even a little bit further away.

My first diary entry in thirteen years, and so much has changed on OSM. The editing tools have come on so much, and there is now an incredible level of detail, even in the rural town I’m living in now. I think I need to go back to the documentation to refresh my memory and look at adding all the things missing in my neighbourhood.

Why is there no Arabic language on maps?لماذا لاتوجد اللغة العربية في الخرائط

It is for doing mapping so I can get better, so thank you guys! Google Maps is my main option but I am in Rank 149 of OpenStreetMap! Thank you for @DavidDean as he said he was in the top 50 in 2008! I specifically like you guys! Kind Regards, Brilloant

On April 3, 2024, an earthquake happened outside the coast of Hualien, which caused serious roadblocks and human casualties. OpenStreetMap Taiwan has opened 3 projects for mapping affected areas, requesting worldwide mappers to map buildings, landuses, missing roads or waterways in Hualien.

• Central Cross-island Highway eastern section: https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16508
• Suhua Highway: https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16507/
• Hua-Dong Valley northern part, Sincheng, Siulin, Hualien, Ji’an, Shoufong: https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16505

We are talking if there is a possibility to donate the newest satellite image after the earthquake to map the after-earthquake situations. And the possibility of hosting mapping events on-site after the affected area returns to normal, helping locals by mapping the newest map data.

2024年4月3日花蓮外海發生規範7.2強烈地震，造成嚴重的道路中斷與人命傷亡。OpenStreetMap Taiwan 社群開設以下三個專案，企盼各地鍵盤圖客支援繪製花蓮的建築、土地利用與遺漏的道路與溪流：

• 中橫公路東段：https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16508
• 蘇花公路：https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16507/
• 花東縱谷北段新城、秀林、花蓮、吉安、壽豐：https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16505

目前在洽談震災後的衛星影像捐贈用來繪製新的地貌，並且在主要災後之後，期待直接在當地的實體活動，幫助在地民眾。

That’s the name of the workshops I facilitated last week, with the goal of introducing/promoting OpenStreetMap, along with introducing tools like FieldPaper, OpenAerialMap, Sketch-Map Tool and Umap, to meet the objectives of local DRR practitioners’ upcoming mapping initiative.

Last Friday I had conducted two workshop in Iloilo, one (unplanned) for Iloilo’s Provincial DRRMO (disaster agency), and another for Iloilo City own DRRMO. In the Philippines, city charters may provide them autonomy from the geographic province they’re part of. These Disaster Risk Reduction Management Offices (a tongue-full, I know) are the government agencies responsible for mitigating localized disaster risks, and planning for disaster prevention for their respective territories.

While commercial map providers like Google, provide map data in local Indian languages, the local language labels are usually transliterated from English, resulting in errors. OSM, Wikidata and Wikipedia platforms provide a way to improve the local language maps leveraging multilingual labels through Wikidata identifiers on OSM, through semi automated updates. For good quality maps on Wikipedia and OSM, the Wikidata location needs to be accurate and Wikidata identifier should be uniquely mapped to the actual OSM geometry. I worked on removing the mismatches for villages of a district in Andhra Pradesh. I have documented my experience as clearly as possible, so that even users with less programming and tools skills can contribute to the work. As an example, identifying and fixing errors in Wikidata location is given below.

So I thought surveys meant that I go out and ask people… conduct a survey, but apparently it means that you have been there personally to check it… so… that means I didn’t tag any of my entries where it would apply with this… lol

Welcome to my fourth OpenStreetMap NextGen development diary.
Sorry for being a day late! I wanted to finish up one of the new features which caused this small delay. ✨

🔖 You can read my other development diaries here:

🐙 My work is available publicly on this GitHub repository:

Let’s summarize the last week’s work:

Client-side Trace Images

While migrating the traces functionality, I came up with an amazing and seemingly obvious idea. Why not make trace images SVGs and render them client-sided? This feature has few significant advantages: even faster trace uploading, no additional disk usage, unlimited customization, infinite resolution, faster page loading. And so here it is:

Not A Goodbye!

This is the Closing Chapter! However, the story continues😀

My friend (and colleague) Ola messaged me and asked, “Eden, how do you feel, that your internship at HOTOSM is ending soon?” I took a long pause to answer that 🥹.

As the curtains draw close on this chapter of my professional journey, I find myself reflecting on colourful experiences, lessons, and memories that have defined my time as an intern at HOTOSM.

It’s been 3 months already!?🥹 Like someone rightly said “time goes by quickly, when you are having fun”. I’m usually the type of person that looks forward to the end of a thing because I learnt to always finish what I started. But this time, it felt weird! A mix of nostalgia and anticipation.
