Mapeamento de árvores no OpenStreetMap e palestras especiais


O evento será realizado em 31 de março de 2025, com atividades presenciais e remotas, pensadas para despertar para a importância dos dados abertos na dimensão ecológica, para fins de colaboração para a conservação ambiental e a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos habitantes, frente às consequências evidentes da crise climática, que têm piorado as condições ambientais nas cidades e levado ao aumento da pressão por recursos, especialmente, os energéticos.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Serão concedidos dois certificados independentes (manhã/noite) Inscreva-se até 30 de março de 2025, 23h59 (UTC-3). Vagas limitadas (20) para a atividade presencial (manhã). Para a atividade da noite, sem limite de vagas. LINK DE INSCRIÇÃOPágina do evento

Since the end of 2019, the OpenArdenneMap map style has been updated on ~~a six-monthly cycle~~ from time to time. OpenArdenneMap is an open-source cartographic style for topographic maps based on OpenStreetMap data. The ‘winter 2024-25’ release has just been published.

That’s mainly small improvements in the QGIS-style that have been made. OpenArdenneMap is available for Mapnik (a software used mainly to create map tile servers) and QGIS (a more general GIS software).

In particular, there has been the addition of the ‘marked trails’ layer, which was still missing in the QGIS style. To add the marker to the map (the equivalent of the shield in Mapnik), we use a combination of 2 ‘Marker Lines’, with the superimposition of an SVG marker for the marker and a character (Font Marker) for the number often inscribed in the marker.

I have also added a map layout to the QGIS project file, which allowed to update an existing map on hiking.osm.be, for the map of Herbeumont.

Fieldwork for mapping trees with OpenStreetMap and special lectures


The event will be held on March 31, 2025, in Portuguese, with fieldwork and remote activities designed to raise awareness of the importance of open data in the ecological dimension, in order to collaborate in environmental conservation and improve the quality of life of inhabitants, in the face of the obvious consequences of the climate crisis, which have worsened environmental conditions in cities and led to increased pressure on resources, especially energy.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Two independent certificates will be awarded (morning/evening) Register by March 30, 2025, 23:59 (UTC-3). Limited places (20) for the fieldwork activity (morning). Unlimited places for the evening activity. REGISTRATION LINKEvent page

I’ve just rolled out some updates for waymarkedtrails, the website for browsing route relations. The most notable improvement is that waymarkedtrails is finally able to understand member roles in route relations. This post gives a quick overview of what works and what doesn’t and what has changed with in the route views.

Forward/backward roles

The first group of roles handled specially are forward and backward roles which indicate that the route follows the given way only in the direction of the way or in counterflow. These oneway sections are now shown when details of a route are displayed:

Route with forward and backward sections

Waymarkedtrails will internally merge forward and backward sections into split sections and count them only once when computing the length of the route. However, this only works, when all ways of such a spilt section appear together in the relation and follow the order of the route. (See also the notes on ordering below.)

Roundabouts

OSM History Viewer and OSM Route Manager are two ancient tools that help visualising and analysing changesets and route relations. In particular, they provide the following features: * Show the geographic and tag changes that a specific changeset has caused * Render a route relation (with support for nested relations), detect gaps and inconsistencies, and export the route as GPX * Analyze the history of relation members and show who last edited (and is thus to blame for) which section of the relation.

I have not maintained these services in many years and they frequently crashed or got overloaded. The user experience was also far from great.

I have decided to rewrite the logic of these tools and integrate it into FacilMap. While the don’t particularly fit the use case of FacilMap, the infrastructure (in particularly the UI elements) is there, making it convenient to integrate it there.

So far I have implemented the first functionality, changeset analysis. You can analyze a changeset by typing changeset <id> (for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/6798641) into the search field, or by calling the URL https://facilmap.org/#q=changeset%20<id> (for example https://facilmap.org/#q=changeset%206798641) directly. As opposed to the legacy OSM History Viewer, the analysis and API requests are now entirely performed on the client side.

I will implement the other two features soon. Once done, the old services will be shut down and a redirect will be put in place.

Feel free to report any problems that you come across by writing to me or by creating an issue.

Latest Update from Henderson.

All roads, sidewalks and parking lots were traced out. Traced out some of the park details as well. Unfortunately not too many commercial details or bing street side photos are available of this small town, so cant add too much more information such as stop signs, or storefronts.

Openstreetmap of Henderson Nebrasksa

For the next town, ill probably do something in the north north east.

Also, anyone have any updates as to when bing will work in JOSM again?

Introduction

This diary entry describes my view on how best to map and tag pedestrian crossings and bicycle crossings. Best, considering detail, correctness, time consumption, clarity and usability. The many words in this diary may make it seem complicated, but the actual tagging is easy and direct node tagging of what you see on the road, with as little redundancy and required expertise as possible. As follows:

A simple unmarked, uncontrolled crossing, without special characteristics such as tactile paving, lowered kerbs or traffic island, is just an intersection node without any tags.

A simple zebra can be tagged with highway=crossing + crossing:markings=zebra. The usage of highway=crossing + crossing=zebra is seen as entry level duck tagging.

A simple crossing with other markings can be tagged with highway=crossing + crossing:markings=dots/dashes/lines/surface

If traffic lights control the crossing, add crossing:signals=yes

If there are special kerbs, add kerb=lowered/flush/…

If there is tactile paving, add tactile_paving=yes

If there is a crossing island within the crossing, add crossing:island=yes

If the crossing path goes uninterrupted over the road it crosses, so that the road is interrupted rather than the crossing path, add crossing:continous=yes

Scope:

  • Footway crossing any higher order way, including cycleway and busway, excluding rail.
  • Cycleway crossing any higher order way, including busway, excluding rail.
  • Mentioned, but not detailed: paths, including combined footway/cycleway paths as mapped regulary in Germany.
  • Mentioned, but excluded: designated horse crossings.
  • Mentioned, but excluded for now: how to map a crossing as a way.
  • Mentioned, but excluded for now: detailed mapping of the operation of traffic signals.
  • Mentioned: level crossing over tram railways

2025年2月22日,羅東街景踏查團台灣維基媒體協會支援下,由 OpenStreetMap 台灣以及 Wikidata 台灣一同進行,收集街景影像以及廟宇的圖像記錄。這次特別邀請在林業管理單位工作的陳建忠,寫了兩篇 Facbook 貼文(12)談到他因工作關係常會獨自踏查,這次羅東廟宇工作坊則是能夠以團體方式進行,能夠彼此交流方法。而宗教專家提到宜蘭的靈場,他也列出宜蘭這一帶的分佈,發現隨著時代演進地貌已經改變,有些廟宇位置已經不在原先的位置了。

我這邊因為決定參與 g0v 大松,就沒過去羅東,遇到 ProtoMaps 開發者 Brandon Liu。我事先已經先鍵盤繪製羅東週邊了,還有當天依照臺灣宗教與民俗文化平台加台北艋舺,尤其偏大加魶一帶廟宇。Brandon 有協助 Meta 地圖團隊做事,前陣子把 Overture Maps 資料集套疊到 RapiD 編輯當中,但不知道誰用。看到我弄就趕緊拍一張照片。而我也真的編輯加了一間廟。
