As a passenger in a moving car, I like to do OSM field mapping, constantly scanning the view outside and noting every detail I can spot. The catch is, I need to do it fast. Too fast to worry about proper tagging or structured data entry. What I really want is an app that shows my current location on a basemap, lets me tap anywhere on it to drop a point, and attach a rough plaintext note. Later, once I’m back home, I could export all those coordinates and notes as a GeoJSON file, import it into iD Editor or JOSM, and take the time to think about proper tags.

A few weeks ago, while traveling to Bandung, I tried doing “quick, live mapping on the road” with Vespucci. It turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. Each time I spotted something, I had to stop the GPS autofollow, download OSM data, add a node, pick a tagging preset, fill out the details, upload, and then repeat the whole cycle. By the time I was done with one object, I’d already missed several others. That constant stop-and-go completely killed the flow of observation.

What I wanted instead was a much simpler loop: keep the GPS autofollow running, spot something interesting, click on the map, type a quick note, and move on. No tagging, no data downloads, no breaking the momentum. Just rapid-fire, location-anchored note-taking while the car keeps moving.

At first, I tried building a dedicated Android app to do this. Unfortunately, my Gradle setup was corrupted, and fixing it meant re-downloading everything, which would have taken far too long. That’s when I remembered a small web app I had built three years ago for a similar purpose, although back then it didn’t have GPS tracking. So instead of starting from scratch, I decided to just add the GPS feature to that old app.

The result is now live at http://altilunium.github.io/sakumaps/v2.

Eastern Road Travels

I’ve been continuing an anti clock-wise journey around Grenada.

Other Projects

Yeah there have been a month or two when work here stops. Often its just other projects but sometimes it’s a but like my day job.

Progress

I think this period started with Egmont, where I have family, through Calivigny, Fort Jeudy then all the Westerhalls. A lot of coastal details too at times. I did go inland but do not recall how far. Had fun doing the river along La Sagesse Beach Road and all the associated buildings. Loved doing Felix Park Rd. I met Dr G and spent an afternoon with him there. Very nice to meet a local botanist that I could learn from.

So now in August I’m nearing the end of Hope. From then on it’s all North and into 2026.

Seit heute befindet sich eine GoPro max (2025) in meinem Besitz. Dazu kommt dann ein ca. 150cm “Selfiestick” mit zwei Klemmen, der diese Kamera dann hoffentlich an meinem Fahrrad befestigen wird. Möglicherweise gönne ich mir noch vor dem Herbstequinox 2025 einen Magnetfuß für die KFZ-Montage. Ich werde berichten.

Mein Plan ist, damit zunächst Korbach und anschließend auch die Umgebung, für panoramax in 360°-Bildern zu dokumentieren. Dies in der Hoffnung, dass panoramax als Idee und Plattform stabil bleibt und uns allen eine zumindest nicht direkt vollständig von Großkonzernen abhängige Möglichkeit zur Speicherung und Nutzung von Straßenniveaubildern (natürlich nicht nur von Straßen im klassischen Sinn) bietet.

User Negreheb hat schon schöne, ausführliche diary-Einträge geschrieben, in denen erläutert wird, wie die Bilder aufgenommen werden und anschließend zur Plattform kommen. Ich danke für deine Arbeit und werde sie natürlich schamlos als Inspiration nutzen.

Zum Abschluss dieses Beitrags mein Angebot an Interessierte: Unter bestimmten Umständen lasse ich euch dieses Equipment gerne leihweise zukommen, damit auch bei Euch die Abdeckung mit 360°-Bildern zunimmt. Dafür dann bitte eine DM mit einer aussagekräftigen Nachricht, damit ich entscheiden kann, ob die “bestimmten Umstände” zutreffen (ich habe ehrlich gesagt noch keine festen Kriterien. Es wird erstmal eine Einzelfallentscheidung geben, die von diversen Faktoren abhängen wird. Tut mir leid, wenn ich da aktuell noch sehr ungenau bin).

happy mapping

Saya memulai sebagai mapper sejak tahun 2012 dan mengenal OSM di medio 2015. Memperoleh data spasial dalam tugas kuliah di tahun 2015 masih sulit dan terbatas. Saat itu untuk mendapatkan data vektor spasial, harus digitasi peta raster Rupa Bumi Indonesia atau digitasi dari google earth. Setelah mengulik di peramban web, saya menemukan bahwa tersedia data spasial indonesia secara free melalui geofabrik. Ini adalah anugrah Tuhan yang luar biasa. Setelah saya telusuri, ternyata sumber data ini dari komunitas openstreetmap. saya mempelajari bagaimana data itu tersedia secara free, dan ternyata berasal dari sumber terbuka. Dan saya tertarik bagaimana menjadi kontributor. Tahun 2018 saya mengikuti lomba pemetaan bencana yang diadakan oleh BNPB menggunakan JOSM/ device input data openstreetmap, yang datanya dapat dimanfaatkan untuk penanggulangan bencana. Ini hal yang luar biasa untuk pemanfaatan data spasial dari sumber terbuka.

2016年時曾有過討論與實踐，但因細故而無法繼續向前。以當時條件也不會獨自成立法人組織，而是依靠有法人組織身份的團體，行使相關簽約與帳目管理業務，另外還有收指定的專案捐款。

2025年在時機成熟後，並且在2025年8月14日發信遞件給基金分會與社群工作小組，事前已經取得台灣維基媒體協會的支持，將循義大利分會模式，以台灣維基媒體協會行使OpenStreetMap台灣身份加入成為分會。也有與網路上的 OpenStreetMap 台灣社群成員討論。

從2016年到2025年，OpenStreetMap在台灣，成為越來越多人使用的底圖，而且也有人看到上面傳統商業地圖欠缺的圖徵。社群成員在COSCUP等國內場合，以及國外的State of the Map、State of the Map Asia，Wikimania 的時候分享相關專案成果，例如村里。姐妹計畫的維基，維基年會於2023重回亞洲舉行，依據分區自治精神的ESEAP會議，串連，也交流不只維基媒體運動還有開放街圖。

未來期待比較有組織化，有計畫事項的方式，來進行相關的國內推廣，與國外合作事項。重新舉行 State of the Map Taiwan，以及籌辦 State of the Map Asia 都是可以討論的事項。

Good afternoon from sunny, hot, and muggy northeast Florida!

I am still learning OSM, who is not, and having a blast doing it. It is increadibly fun and incredibly fascinating. Always see and find something new every single day! Love it!

Right now I decided to make the jump to JOSM. I know it is a little or a lot complicated. Best way to learn is jump and start going. When I downloaded it the current version, 19423, was not active I down loaded a earlier version and needed to update. I was literally looking at help files, Googling it, asking questions, a lot. But, and don’t ask me how, I eventually landed the current version, 19423, on my computer. It was one of those moments that you have no clue how you did something but who cares its finally done.

To get started I did the LearnOSM again. I sometimes have to do it over and over to get the idea. Its a good refresher as well. For someone like me who has multiple challenges the fact OSM allows for going back and being able to go over is really good. I saw some updates that and changes that need to be done based on the new JOSM version. I need to figure out who to send those to. Now I am on working on the LearnOSM JOSM - Detailed Editing. Thank you also for OSM having the ability to work on a mock community. That is tremendous and helps so so much.

I do wish that some of the tutorials were more accessible for people with challenges. I think that will allow for a entirely new population of folks to get mapping. We that are disabled and something like OSM for a lot of us is a pair made for each other. Its quiet and you can do it any place and in any environment. It really is a awesome combination. I have a lot of suggestions to make this happen. Need to find out whom to talk to about this as well.

Here are a few….

I noticed that on OpenStreetMap we were missing types of surfaces for many important roads in Kosovo.

Car navigators use surfaces when routing and calculating travel times.

So entering this information became a goal, a time bound mission I could do on my own within a short period of time and see the results, which is just what I like.

The roads in OpenStreetMap are largely classified as primary (highways), secondary (regional roads), tertiary (local roads) and residential.

I decided to work on the first three and smaller sections connecting these classified as primary_link, secondary_link and tertiary_link. The first three for the most part are asphalt in Kosovo, and it’s easy to guess when this may not be the case. Being larger, it’s also easier to confirm on aerial photography that they are indeed paved in asphalt.

First, getting a view of the situation. Here, Overpass turbo is great.

This code will highlight all the primary road surfaces that haven’t been specified.

[out:json][timeout:25];
way["highway"~"primary"]["surface"!~"."]({{bbox}});
out geom;

Change primary with secondary, tertiary, primary_link and so forth.

Next, map editing.

Going through roads one by one and looking at status is tedious. Here comes JOSM and the amazing filtering function I hadn’t used before.

Open Windows > Filter and enter:

highway=primary

Check E (enable) and I (inverse).

For the downloaded area of the map, this will highlight surfaces that need to be specified. Referring to all the aerial imagery available, change them to surface=asphalt and upload.

And voila, almost all primary, secondary and tertiary road surfaces in Kosovo have been completed. In some rear cases I couldn’t tell from aerial imagery available what the status was. I also didn’t work on residential roads which are much more in number but less critical for navigation and where local knowledge would be quite helpful.

Happy mapping!

Hey gang!

I went on a roughly 2-week hiatus because I was visiting my uncle down south. However, I am back and hopefully able to work on OSM more

The first thing I did when I came back was deal with some very old vandalism that was somehow undetected? So I managed to clear all that up and am now remapping it correctly

Anyways, thats enough from me! Goodbye!

NK-Mapper

If I get into a project it’ll be mapping more houses (and pools and other things visible on aerial imagery) around me, likely towards penn valley.

Trying to detox from blacket these days, I’ll hopefully be mapping a ton more soon… and I’m probably through with obsessive note resolving for now.

Another year has passed since my last entry, and it’s about two years ago that I resided in Bonaire for half a year. I want to visit again, but there’s that man on the side of my shoulder whispering things about a sustainable world :) (Meaning I can’t simply visit for a couple of weeks, but should stay for a longer period of time.)

Last year (2024), the Dutch government made high resolution aerial photos of Bonaire. I’ve already updated and mapped several areas based on this. As this information is both high resolution and recent it is very useful for mapping. You can find more information about this on https://www.beeldmateriaal.nl/dataroom-caribisch-nederland

In 2023 I stayed at the Hausmann Follies apartment complex. To compare the image quality, look at these photos:

Hi there, and thanks a lot for your contribution! 🌟 Just a little tip for future edits: keeping changesets small and local can make things smoother for everyone. It helps prevent conflicts, makes it easier for fellow mappers to review, and keeps the map even more accurate.

A few friendly suggestions: • Focus edits within a small geographical area (like a single city, district, or province) • Try not to mix far-apart locations in one changeset • Save/upload before starting work in a totally different area

If you’re curious, the wiki explains more here: osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Thanks again for your mapping energy, and happy mapping! 🗺️

Why is it important to remind both new and experienced users to keep changesets limited to a specific area? First of all, not all editors can handle loading large amounts of data, as happens with iD (link). More importantly, a large bounding box (covering, for example, half the world or all of Northern Italy) makes it harder for other mappers—both local and remote—to review the changes, even when using modern tools like Better OSM or OsmCha.

IT

Ciao, e grazie mille per il tuo contributo! 🌟 Un piccolo suggerimento per i prossimi cambiamenti: mantenere i changeset piccoli e localizzati può rendere il lavoro più semplice per tutti. Aiuta a evitare conflitti, facilita la revisione da parte degli altri mappatori e mantiene la mappa ancora più accurata.

Alcuni suggerimenti amichevoli: • Concentrati su un’area geografica ristretta (come una singola città, un quartiere o una provincia) • Evita di mescolare località lontane nello stesso changeset • Salva/carica prima di iniziare a lavorare in un’area completamente diversa

Se sei curioso, la wiki spiega di più qui: osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Grazie ancora per la tua energia nel mappare e… buona mappatura! 🗺️

Introduction

Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team (HOT) is an international team dedicated to humanitarian action and community development through open mapping.

Accurate and up-to-date data is essential for effective humanitarian response. Validators use tools such as JOSM and the HOT Tasking Manager to identify and flag errors and mistakes. From experience, i know that this is a complex and time-consuming endeavor.

One tool to save time and enhance the validation process is OSMCha.

The funding for OSMCha is currently at risk, which could lead to the degradation of this invaluable tool. In this diary, i want to highlight the essential role OSMCha plays in my own (and other’s) validation and quality maintenance workflow.

What is OSMCha

OpenStreetMap Changeset Analyzer (OSMCha) is a tool designed to monitor and analyze changes made to OpenStreetMap data. It enables data validators to quickly identify potential issues, track changes, and ensure data quality.
