A few weeks ago, I wrote a plugin for PMTiles for JOSM. PMTiles is a web-first tile storage format which allows the provider to have a single file with all the tiles they want to share. Users can then make direct requests using HTTP Range Requests to get just the data they want. With this, other OSM users have discovered that they can run a tile server for <2 USD/month.

As of Aug 28, 2023, the JOSM MapWithAI plugin now supports PMTiles and Mapbox Vector Tiles as data sources. Please note that no tag transforms are occurring, so if you do use the data, please use the replacement tags feature of the plugin. With that said, it is theoretically possible for a pmtiles file to give us the mappings; the specification has a JSON metadata field which can have arbitrary key value mappings.

Anyway, here are some known datasets to test out this functionality (I only tested the overture-pois.pmtiles file):

• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/buildings_z13.pmtiles
• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/land.pmtiles
• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/placenames.pmtiles
• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/places.pmtiles
• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/roads_z11.pmtiles
• https://labs.overturemaps.org/overture-with-daylight/tiles/water.pmtiles
• https://r2-public.protomaps.com/protomaps-sample-datasets/overture-pois.pmtiles
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msbarry/planetiler-overture-demo/main/boston.pmtiles

As a reminder, there is a reason why the overture data has not been imported into OSM, mainly quality concerns. So if you do use it, ensure that whatever it is you are adding actually exists (for POIs) or is geometrically correct (for buildings/roads).

hi everyone I just signed in to the open street map community and I would love to be an active volunteer

Думаю полезно будет описывать впечатления от посещенных локаций.

The activation of Flood Mapping in the City of Muçum, RS has begun!

As a result of the rains that affected the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, UMBRAOSM, the Brazilian Chapters of YOUTHMAPPERS created an Activation project for mapping in the city of Muçum in the state of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil for mapping the City! !

This project aims to map buildings, so if you want to use the MapWithAI tool (Rapid or JOSM), it is recommended to use this tool mainly in rural regions with low building density. This allows you to quickly add AI-predicted buildings and roads. However, human verification is necessary. Don’t just accept auto-detected buildings - ensure correct building alignment, geometry and road classification before saving your work.

If you want to use JOSM, you must download the [MapWithAI] plugin (https://github.com/KaartGroup/JOSM_MapWIthAI_plugin#readme). The plugin wiki page contains detailed usage instructions. You can also use the [building_tools] plugin (osm.wiki/JOSM/Plugins/BuildingsTools), which will make the geometry creation process easier. Once the building has been digitized, use the “q” key to adjust the geometry. For road mapping, remember that they must be connected to each other. Additionally, generate enough nodes to avoid sharp angles when changing road directions. In the case of intersecting roads, an intermediate node must be placed at the point where they intersect, unless there is a structure separating them, such as [bridges] (osm.wiki/Key :bridge) or [tunnels] (tunnel=*).

I honestly don’t have the words to describe the overwhelming flow of emotions that I am experiencing regarding this project.

*This a whole new experience for me and I feel so blessed to be apart of this program and would honestly recommend anyone in joining and learning about the values and endless opportunities that exist with using (OPEN STREET MAP). From the first hand experiences in my community to mapping specified areas in my country it is such a remarkable experience for the young and young at heart to widen their horizons and try new things.

Atualização - Dados do Censo Demográfico 2022

---

Dados de população

Os dados de população dos municípios brasileiros foram atualizados pelo mapeador Fidelis Assis, membro do OpenStreetMap Brasil.

Os dados são oriundos do Censo Demográfico 2022, realizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e foram publicados no D.O.U. de 31/08/2023.

O total populacional é atribuído com a etiqueta population=N ( sendo N, o total), no ponto que representa o município (etiqueta place=city). E também nas relações.

Como exemplo, a consulta da cidade de Maricá no OSM - Figura.

Dados de geocódigo IBGE

Além desta atualização da população, Fidelis Assis e outros membros do OpenStreetMap Brasil também estão realizando a verificação dos dados de geocódigo IBGE, comparando os dados na base do OpenStreetMap com os que estão na base do IBGE - Figura.

Segundo a wiki Pt:Key:IBGE:GEOCODIGO, a chave IBGE:GEOCODIGO é utilizada exclusivamente no Brasil para possibilitar interações do OSM com o IBGE e outras instituições, sendo atribuída nas relações.

Ela tem como valor um código que identifica unicamente uma região administrativa brasileira no IBGE, podendo ser um município (admin_level=8), estado (admin_level=4), mesorregião, microrregião ou distrito.

Fidelis Assis verificou que, em alguns estados, os nós de municípios estão com IBGE:GEOCODIGO, que corresponde ao mesmo do primeiro distrito, o que necessita ser corrigido. A proporção dos nós problemáticos foi calculada por ele:

Rio de Janeiro: 4 (4%) Espírito Santo: 22 (28% ) Minas gerais: 60 (7%) São Paulo: 533 (84%) Paraná: 377 (96%) Rio Grande do Sul: 451 (91%)

Segundo Fidelis Assis, essas etiquetas precisariam ser removidas dos nós (edição simples) e as relações administrativas dos diversos níveis atualizadas com seu respectivo código IBGE (o que levaria mais tempo).

On September 9, 2023 Let’s Talk Spatial and OSM Bengaluru organized a mapping party in Chamrajpet, Bengaluru, India. We had 367 contributions to OpenStreetMap with 6 first-time contributors. After we finished mapping, we were #1 in the world in terms of number of edits!

The idea of organizing an outdoor mapping activity originated on the day when OSM celebrated its 19th Birthday. My social media was flooded with mappers celebrating in various different ways to show their love towards OSM.

On the last day of FOSS4G I saw mappers mapping the streets of Prizren - noting down the opening hours, contact details and much more information onto OSM. Though I missed the opportunity to map with them, I saw this could be done in my city, with the help of expert mappers.

Teaching comes via OSMs online training session.

Adrian Glover initiates on 9/9/23 based on introduction from Red Cross.🎉 Mapping done on T430.

Following the earthquake in Morocco last night (08-09 Sept 2023), staff from HOT’s West and Northern Africa Open Mapping Hub and OSM Morocco agreed to launch an activation to support response efforts.

If you would like to support by mapping, please do. The first project is now on the HOT Tasking Manager and more will follow.

You can also keep track via the activation wiki page : 2023 Morocco Earthquake.

If you have questions or would like to engage, you can do so via the HOT slack or the OSM community forum.

Thanks in advance for your time and skills in support!

The USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is awesome. When mapping roads, creeks and trails that are covered by trees, it’s nearly impossible to use any satellite imagery in any meaningful way. Even if someone spends the time to use GPS to track a road or hiking trail, it is even harder to find someone to walk down the middle of a lot of creeks to track the path of the water flow. It’s also not uncommon for the GPS trace to be off by several feet or even have gaps in the data near tall dense trees, which reduces the accuracy of the path being traced on a map. 3DEP can help in such situations.

I believe that this data is only available for most of the US territories. So if you are mapping outside outside of the US, this may not be beneficial to use.

Herausforderung: Kartografiere dein Wohnklo!

Dies ist eine Aufforderung an euch alle das Gebäude in dem ihr wohnt in OpenStreetMap ausführlich zu kartografieren, also tragt einfach alle Informationen ein, die ihr über das Gebäude wisst.

Zwei Überlegungen vorab, bevor ich erkläre, wie das am Besten geht:

1. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass ihr nicht wollt, dass andere wissen wo ihr wohnt, aber Änderungen in #OpenStreetMap werden natürlich mit dem Account, mit dem sie erstellt werden verknüpft und das ist öffentlich einsehbar. Wenn ihr also nicht wollt, dass jeder herausfinden kann wo ihr wohnt, dann empfehle ich, dass ihr einen OSM-Account anlegt, der nicht euer Standard-Nickname ist. Wenn ihr also normalerweise https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/flottebiene23 heißt, dann nennt euch einfach Brummer42 oder sogar KcA4TbGsu ist ja auch ein schöner Benutzername. Nur könnt ihr dann halt mit eurer Leistung auch nicht angeben.
2. Zweck der Aktion ist unter anderem ein paar Leute mit dem OSM-Fieber zu “infizieren”. Also dazu zu bringen, dass sie auch künftig das ein oder andere zur Datenbank beitragen. Schon klar, dass da nur 1% hängen bleiben oder so, aber hey, 1%. Aber es ist natürlich auch schön, wenn einfach ein paar Leute ihr Wohn-Gebäude in OSM mit Daten anreichern, das ist ja auch ein Wert an sich.

Die Idee dazu kam mir unter anderem als ich vergangenes Jahr auf dem #34C3 mit https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SWW13 zusammensaß und es mir sagte sein Wohngebäude sei nur so marginal in OSM drin. Daraufhin haben wir den Eintrag ausführlich gepimpt und auch die kleine Sitzbank vorm Haus und den Parkplatz gegenüber und den Glascontainer in Sichtweite noch eingetragen.

Dieser Artikel entstand ursprünglich auf diaspora*, aber ich habe ihn noch auf GitHub kopiert, auf OSM.org und auf mein Wordpress Blog

Also, Bock drauf? Dann los!

Натрапив на дефект у побудові шосейних вело маршрутів в Komoot (на Graphhopper), але це може повторюватись і на інших навігаторах (OSMAnd ітд)

При побудові шосейних треків (коли треба виключно асфальтні дороги), він відмовляється в деяких місцях вести по шосе, а обходить цю ділянку по будь-яких дорогах поруч, включаючи грунтовки і тропи. А якщо примусово прокласти там трек - пише "вам треба буде спішуватись з вело" і збільшує загальний час маршруту.

Проблема виявилась у неповному заповненні тегів якості доріг з порушенням порядку заповнення.

Зазвичай, якщо теги дороги не заповнені, але вказаний її ранг ('trunk', 'primary', 'secondary'), то маршрутизатори вважають її асфальтом.

І ось тут хтось ставить тег якості поверхні smoothness, забуваючи про surface. Коли дорога гарна, хоча б intermediate, проблем ніяких. Але якщо 'smoothness = bad', то маршрутизатор вирішить, що там грунтовка. І навіть ранг дороги 'primary' вже не допоможе, і відправить нашого шосера блукати по реальним грунтовкам

І звісно, це наче проблема розробників, але пошук через Overpass показав, що в Европі дуже мало ділянок з подібною проблемою, лічені випадки.

Можна просто виправити поточні проблемні ділянки в Україні, але постане інша задача. У нас дуже багато шосе не мають тегів типу поверхні (хоча навіть зі супутника видно, що то asphalt). І лише питання часу, коли хтось з маперів поставить знову тег якості поверхні, забувши вказати її тип, чим зробить цю дорогу "непроїздною" для шосейного велосипеда.

І доводиться просто час від часу робити пошук через Overpass
