Quick update on Maxar imagery

Hi kevin, I understand the issue and that its being worked on. Given the time of year I don’t expect a quick resolution but would you have any idea of an ETA for a fix?

Too bad I don't have a camera rig

Change the gpx colour to black, turn off imagery, set background to white

Hey presto, a neat little piece of art that you made yourself through mile’s and miles of “painting” the lines

Notes in iD have arrived

This is great work

In terms of making them more useful, I know the Irish OSM community utilised the feed from Pascal’s site to have new notes pop up in the IRC chatroom so they uswed to be actioned fairly rapidly. Not so much these days as the IRC chat is not as busy as it once was

Holiday reflections on OpenStreetMap

Ah, forgot one, the weekly news one, I now use that for keeping up to date with OSM and ignore everything else

Holiday reflections on OpenStreetMap

“We don’t know if these people are enjoying or recoiling from these discussions, or totally ignoring them.”

recoiling/ignoring would be my guess

I gave up keeping up with the mailing lists a year ago but stayed subscribed. One day recently I went back and started reading. I got through 2 months worth before I gave up.

The high volume lists are, by and large, toxic

As a result, I’ve unsubscribed from every single one, bar my local one

A year of edits with OSM Streak

This is excellent!

Approaching 1 million opening hours

It would be interesting to line up the release date of streetcomplete & maps.me with this to see if there has been a spike due to either app

Updating Blarney...

Fair play (from Galway)

The OSM website now has a context menu (right-click menu)!

Nice work!

“Mum. There’s an Old Man at the Door”

Ha, gave me a chuckle.

Another great interview, thanks escada

Your OpenStreetMap Story

Ha! That is cool

Easily map individual parking spaces using the terracer plugin in JOSM

not dismissing your work, but I think my way is easier and a lot more in line with the norm

Map the whole parking area as amenity=parking

Thats it. 1 polygon/closed way

If I know the info, I will add capacity, operator etc

I’m not sure I see any benefit in mapping spaces to this level of detail (and I’m a lover of micromapping)

One major downside is the visual clutter it would create due to the amount of Parking icons appearing on the map

Is there possibility to retag addr:housenumbers without european scheme? (updated)

Is that not achieved by using the country boundaries (relations)?

JOSM and Me... (DeBigC)

About the only thing I use iD for is mapping turn restrictions. It makes it sooo easy.

For everything else I use josm but that’s the to say it couldn’t be improved or doesn’t have “quirks” of its own

The city of Chandigarh is taking a very good shape on OSM.

thats some nice mapping, nice work!

“Most difficult part of OSM is the “nobody needs that” approach on tagging and talk mailing lists. Guys, just think, If somebody uses a mailing list, which is pain by itself, to ask you what is the best approach to map a thing, there is a demand for that kind of things to be mapped.”

I like your logic

Well done, fantastic and hugely useful
