Hallo zusammen,

wie Ihr sicherlich wisst, kann es bei einer Way-ID häufig vorkommen, dass mehrere parking:restrictions vorkommen. Bisher habe ich immer die Information erhalten, dass eine präzise Zuordnung nur möglich ist, indem die Way-ID in mehrere Segmente aufgeteilt wird.

Ich bin auf diesen Wiki-Beitrag zum Thema “mehrere Werte für einen Key” gestoßen und frage mich, ob dieser Ansatz noch aktuell ist und in der Praxis verwendet werden kann. osm.wiki/Multiple_values

In meinem ersten Versuch habe ich parking:restrictions mit mehreren Werten in einem Tag eingetragen. Dies wurde jedoch kommentiert, dass die meisten Anwendungen dies nicht unterstützen. Hier der entsprechende Kommentar: changeset/159989249#map=19/50.114737/8.679454

Seitdem habe ich diesen Ansatz nicht mehr verwendet. Gibt es alternative Möglichkeiten, um mehrere Einschränkungen an einer Way-ID korrekt und zugleich möglichst genau zu erfassen, ohne die ID zerschneiden zu müssen?

Ich freue mich über Eure Hinweise und Ideen!

Vielen Dank und viele Grüße Simon

Most people these days prefer flattery to doing good. Because flattery helps people to reach their goals very quickly. And this practice is increasing day by day in open communities. Due to which, day by day, open tools are closing down without being able to keep up with time.

How many other tools are open/free related to OpenStreetMap?

If it continues like this, it will just turn into garbage one day.

Everyone will chant until his own interests are saved, after which people will leave this too.

আজকাল বেশির ভাগ মানুষ ভালোকিছু করার চেয়ে চাটুকারিতা বেশি পছন্দ করে। কারণ চাটুকারিতা মানুষকে খুব তাড়াতাড়ি তার অভীষ্ট লক্ষে পৌছাতে সাহায্য করে। আর ওপেন কমিউনিটিতে এই প্রাকটিস দিন দিন বেড়েই চলছে। যার কারণে দিন দিন ওপেন টুল গুলো সময়ের সাথে পাল্লাদিয়ে টিকে থাকতে না পেরে বন্ধ হয়ে যাচ্ছে।

ওপেন স্ট্রীট ম্যাপের আর কয়টা টুল ওপেন আছে ?

এমন চলতে থাকলে এটা শুধুই গারবেজ এ পরিনত হবে একদিন।

সবাই তার নিজ নিজ সার্থ উদ্ধার হওয়া পর্যন্ত গুনোগান করবে এর পর এটাকেও মানুষ ছেড়ে দিবে ।

So, about 6 weeks ago, I met someone who teaches at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa at a conference here in Ireland. This made me curious about Indianola, and I went to check it out on OSM. Anything could trigger that in me.

I found the campus fairly well mapped with most of the buildings and most of the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=sidewalk and some trees mapped, but there was more to be done. So, I started off easy with some footpaths, trees and missing buildings, but then I got competitive and wanted to see how long it would take be to get into the list of mappers for the US of A in the OSM stats.

That took me much longer than expected, because I’m used to get onto those lists fairly easy having mapped in much smaller countries with far fewer active mappers. But after about two weeks (I don’t remember exactly), I was in the Top 500. Yee-haw!

As of this morning, I was #160 which is not so bad, considering I “had to” hold my #1 in Ireland and stay in the Top 20 in the UK.

Here I go again…. part 2.

I was pleased to see someone pick up on my first diary item. OSM weekly is hardly the New York Times, yet I know that the editors like posts which are constructively critical, and they did spot that I was hoping for something to happen which would let us all “do better”.

I decided to look in more detail at how the lack of detail was leaving validators with a lot of mapping to do. Evidence of this is seen here, where the mapper marking the tile as “completely mapped” is nowhere near being the main contributor of objects and the validator – DeBigC – has add or adjust 62% of the objects in the tile. This shows the last mapper to touch any object. Note: I do accept that this is one tile, but it’s not unusual to find this all over the Fingal task.

As a friend and I were adding the 57th tag to a climbing gym in Belgium, I wondered what the element with the highest tag count is. I couldn’t find such stats (which may be a good thing), so I downloaded belgium-latest.osm.pbf from Geofabrik and wrote a simple Python script that uses Pyosmium to do some counting for me.

Without further ado: the Belgian record for highest tag count is… the relation for Belgium itself actually, which currently has 491 tags. The non-relation with the highest tag count is, boringly, the node for Belgium, with 288 tags. Next up are Brussels (156 tags), the Council of the European Union (79 tags), one particular section of the River Meuse that somehow got its name mapped in 57 different languages (65 tags) and the Irish embassy (also 65 tags). Next up is the first element that has a lot of tags not because it’s just flooded with languages! This maritime beacon north of Antwerp in the River Scheldt has a respectable 63 tags to describe all its lights. Our climbing gym is not far off from this one, and has a lot more diverse information in its tags I’d say.

I noticed that the relation for Belgium also has a high version number, it’s at its 1043th revision. That prompted me to take a look at version numbers too. But 1043 isn’t even close to our record, which goes to the superroute relation for the E40 (version 3141). Granted, that’s international. The version record for a purely Belgian object is the hiking route GR 126 (version 1103) from Brussels to Membre-sur-Semois. Just like with tag counts, I find it more interesting to look at non-relations here, though. There the honour for highest version goes to one of the outer rings of a farmland multipolygon south of Mons, which is at version 277. Funnily enough, in contrast with its senior version number, it almost has no tags to speak of, only a source!

Lougouma round

I created this for my own use, but am sharing it here because it might be useful to other people too. This is the style and there’s a brief readme.

It uses different colours to highlight different map layers. It’s not supposed to look nice; just to show you what is there.

I believe that everything described in the schema is included. If a feature does not appear it might be because:

• it’s not in the Shortbread schema.
• it’s in the schema, but is for some reason missing from the OSMF vector tiles.
• it’s in the tiles, but there’s a bug in this style.

There are lots of features in the first category, and there seem to be a couple in the second. If anyone finds anything in the third category please let me know!

¡Ya la vereda Cascajo Abajo se encuentra totalmente mapeada!

He tardado un montón de días mapeando esta vereda, en parte porque hubo semanas en las que no cointribuí al mapa, y porque es una vereda considerablemente grande.

Consideraciones

He estado pensando en la posibilidad de usar DAMN para seguir con el proyecto de mapeo de Marinilla. Aunque la infraestructura del Tasking Manager de HOT es muy conveniente, y la Comunidad OSM Colombia ha sido lo suficientemente amable conmigo como para dejarme alojar este proyecto en el grupo de Colombia, considero que sería apropiado migrar a una alternativa “individual” de mapeo organizado. Aún no estoy muy familiarizado con la herramienta, y valdría la pena empezar a hacer pruebas. Por el momento, la próxima vereda (La Esmeralda) se va a montar en los próximos días en el Tasking Manager. Espero que para la vereda número 4 o 5 ya pueda migrar a DAMN, si lo considero viable.

Sostenibilidad

Creo que el proyecto, tal como se ha venido desarrollando, es un poco insostenible. Uno de los elementos principales de OSM es la posibilidad de trabajar en comunidad. Por ahora, esto ha sido un esfuerzo primordialmente individual, y no me gustaría que se mantenga así por mucho tiempo. Por varias razones: * No es humanamente posible (por lo menos en un tiempo razonable) mapear todo el municipio por mi cuenta. * Me gustaría poder convocar a la comunidad de Marinilla y de otras partes del país para que ayuden a tener mapas urbanos y rurales consolidados.

Una crónica inspirada en la hazaña del Dr. Diego Rosselli y la potencia de OpenStreetMap

En las entrañas de la geografía colombiana, donde los mapas a menudo se revelan como bosquejos incompletos, este médico neurólogo emprendió una odisea sin precedentes. El Dr. Diego Rosselli, armado con su espíritu aventurero y sus dos Land Rover (El tinieblo y el caricare), se propuso recorrer cada municipio de Colombia. Durante 20 años, este incansable explorador recorrió 1.105 municipios, trazando una ruta que lo convirtió en el primero colombiano en lograrlo y convertirlo en un referente del turismo y la geografía nacional.

Severe floods and landslides devastated Sukabumi Regency, West Java, after two days of intense rainfall, with over 100 mm of rain falling in a short period, according to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). On Wednesday, December 4, the overflow of the Cikaso and Cibening Rivers inundated numerous areas, displacing residents and severing access roads. The hardest-hit areas included Palabuhanratu, Sagaranten, and Pabuaran. Floodwaters reached heights of 80–90 cm, submerging homes and halting transportation.

In Sagaranten, neighborhoods like Kampung Rangcabungur faced dramatic rescue operations as narrow alleys flooded waist-deep. Rescue teams, battling strong currents, evacuated several infants and their mothers. “We successfully rescued two to three babies. It was a tense process, but thankfully, everyone was saved,” said the Head of the Sukabumi Police’s Samapta Unit.

El Ayuntamiento de Málaga está actualizando su página web con las actividades que se vienen desarrollando en el municipio con ocasión de las fiestas navideñas de 2024. También ha publicado ya la programación oficial de eventos (PDF 3.71 MB) y la guía de belenes (PDF 7.25 MB).

No tenía pensamiento este año de actualizar el mapa navideño de Málaga en OpenStreetMap, al menos no de la forma sistemática como lo hice el año pasado. No obstante, sí me gustaría animar a otros a colaborar en su actualización.

MapSwipe on the Web Experience

Recently, I had the privilege of leading a MapSwipe training session for a corporate group, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. While I’ve conducted online trainings before, this one felt particularly special. Despite my initial nerves, I was able to deliver a smooth and engaging training session.

Initially, I felt a bit nervous about taking on the role, especially since I was filling in for a colleague. “Corporate” to me also sounded really scary and extremely formal. However, with a bit of preparation and the support of a wonderful colleague, Nicole, I gained the confidence to deliver a successful training session. I focused on guiding participants through the web version of MapSwipe, a tool close to my heart.

Backround

About 6 years ago now, the Ireland OSM community had a bunch of online and face-to-face discussions. There was a desire to have a common campaign, rather than everyone just paddling their own canoe, mapping old boundaries, addding 110KV monster pylons, plotting the holy stones of Clonrickert, or whatever you are having yourself.

Why Buildings?

And so #osmIRL_buildings was born. It took lots of months to pull together. There was a discussion document put out, and lots of decisions and guidance via videos, long conversations on Telegram, and frequent issues discussed on the mailing lists. The task was designed with a few things in mind. Firstly, the community recognized that compared to other territories, we had relatively small levels of completion of buildings. Secondly, a prominent academic had stated that the Irish Government knew more about the number and condition of cattle than it did about buildings. Thirdly, a lot of citizen science projects were trying to collate and capture where derelict and disused buildings were located in cities, with the hope that they might be repurposed for housing. Fourthly, there was a National Planning Framework launched in 2018 that concluded that the spaces for the next 1 million people to live in could not be sprawl outside of Ireland’s cities and towns. There were other reasons too, but those are the ones I recall, so apologies to all those other reasons and their proponents. Nevertheless, all of the ones I mention here could have been addressed by the creation of a fully open spatial dataset of the buildings on the island, and not what passes for open data by data.gov.ie.

Reservations

Of course there were detractors; some mappers worried about the threat of being inundated by the glibness of millions of “building”=”yes” objects. One man in Kilkenny was worried that the climate would have changed by the time the task would finish. He might yet be right.

Had to write something about this. Well, the USA Geofabrik (Continental + HI and AK) extract is now well over 10GiB. And my poor Garmins still only can handle 4GiB gmapsupp.img files. Yeah, I have to lose over 6GiB of stuff now to get it to fit. I’m not sure how long this is tenable, but yes it’s a continuing struggle to get it to still work…
