What does this have to do with osm? 🤨

Mall Mapping with Every Door

Another way to approach group POI mapping is to add those poi with only basic info, like name and nothing else and then use StreetComplete’s ā€œteam modeā€ to evenly split ā€œdata enrichmentā€ tasks of those POIs.

EveryDoor is a great tool to have, but yes, some of its design decisions are a bit strange šŸ™‚like poi are sorted vertically and scroll to the right šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«or opening hours editor like you already mentioned šŸ™‚

Russian Annex Ukraine

People like you are so anti-Russian that you can’t fathom this whole thing might be more nuanced then everyone in the contested areas being forced at gun to have a pro-Russian opinion or whatever. Your essentially doing the same paternalistic nonsense that Russia is, but from the opposite side.

I highly recommend you stop putting words in my mouth since you have NO IDEA who I am, my background, my history or my viewpoints.

Russian Annex Ukraine

At the end of the day the important thing should be what the people in the disputed territories prefer. If they want their territories to be mapped as part of Ukraine, then map it that way.

Because people in those occupied territories have nothing better to do than to voice their opinion on how OSM should map borders DURING A FREAKING WAR!šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

If certain territories want to leave a country, then there’s a proper peaceful process for that to happen. Not for an occupier to send out its army, murder and displace existing population, bus in their own stooges and have a sham ā€œreferendumā€ under a threat of a gun with shells flying overhead with 99.8% of votes towards one option!

Nobody recognizes those territories as Russia’s other than Russia itself and a few spineless leaders who want to suck up to Putin!

I don’t think Ukraine mappers should be able to dictate how things are mapped in the disputed areas

They absolutely can! It is Ukrainian territory and if the community decided that’s how it’s mapped, then that’s how it is mapped! Russian mappers have 0 say about Ukraine’s territorial integrity!

Neither side (Russia or Ukraine) are neutral here though and both have propagandistic reasons to have their version of the borders implemented in OSM.

What are you talking about?! What neutrality?! Russia INVADED Ukraine, a sovereign and independent country! Russia tried(and pathetically failed) to take over a capital of another country! What neutrality do you want here?! Russia is an unjust and murderous aggressor! There’s no neutrality about that!

Dude, I highly recommend you step away from this topic.

OSMCha alternatives (sort of)

You can achieve somewhat similar results to osmcha with https://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/ It’s not as convenient, but it allows you to get RSS feed of changesets to the desired area, and from there shortcuts to other useful apps.

Russian Annex Ukraine

It is NOT INTERNATIONAL BORDER CHANGE. It is illegal occupation of a sovereign country. Nobody recognizes that ā€œborder changeā€. So why are you so eager to promote Putin’s propaganda when the request by the Ukrainian community is to hold off on any map updates there?!

Very Fast Money Withdrawl. Distance to the nearest bank for every weapon shop.

If the implication is you buy weapons to rob a bank/atm, then your methodology is incorrect 🤪 To rob an ATM you don’t need weapons, you need hardware store. 🤯 If one is planning to rob a bank because they don’t have money, then they don’t have money to buy weapons. 🤯

The best Guide To Understanding Cryptocurrencies

Before you read that wall of crypto-bro’s trash, just look at https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ and ask yourself if you want to be involved in that.

Edit tags directly from openstreetmap.org

Have you considered to (re-)release this as a userscript for greasemonkey/tampermonkey/violentmonkey/similar? Less maintenance work for you to figure out and update extensions for each browser. Just commit to GitHub and out it goes. Also easier and more transparent for the end user to see what it is doing vs searching through the forest of files and directories modern browsers keep in user profiles with regular extensions.

Newbie mapper's whining, joy and fear

Many mobile apps have an ability to record GPS tracks. You could use those to record even your walks on the sidewalk and align to that. Depending on the quality of the available satellite imagery, 1-2meter precision could be as good as it gets.

Also consider contacting your local/regional government to find out if they have a GIS office who might share some address or buildings or other useful dataset with you.

Recruit your friends/classmates/coworkers to also start mapping with you šŸ™‚ have them show pride of their city.

Regarding not being able to find an address on Google maps or other food delivery apps, consider trying Plus Codes. It’s a free positioning system that’s easier to remember than raw GPS coordinates. Google Maps and many OSM-based apps support it. For example try 8HG5QRPR+3J That might work instead of address.

Getting to know you

Regardless of the outcome, credit and recognition to @Lectrician1 for bringing this issue to the forefront and offering a possible solution to it.

Mapping with a game controller

I was going to mention that you could try to use Valve’s Steam Controllers since they are extremely customizable. A while ago they were selling them off for $5 each, but now I see they go for $150-200 so nevermind.😵

Do not map like this (a collection of incorrect mapping practices)

What is wrong with #7? To quote your own words: If you cannot find the obvious mistake here, delete your account immediately.

Do not map like this (a collection of incorrect mapping practices)

What is there to debate if you straight up say that you will not accept any challenges where you edit? You edits must be perfect and immaculate. There’s 0 possibility of any errors or mistakes in them. šŸ‘¼

Yes, your example #7 is purely on turn restrictions, yet turn restrictions on that intersection are wrong…oops.. But you will not accept any challenges on the fact that they are wrong, so šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø.

I didn’t forbid nor ask you to leave comments in NYC. What does that have to do with anything?

Do not map like this (a collection of incorrect mapping practices)

Somebody who has > If your changeset gets a comment from me, you did something either wrong or incorrect. and > I do not accept any challenges in these regions regarding my edit’s verifiability.

in their OSM profile better have their edits absolutely perfect and immaculate. Otherwise, they should delete their account immediately.

Ah, see, local particularities matter and one answer doesn’t fit all possible situations, considering calls to delete ones’ account if it doesn’t match how THIS mapper sees things.

And yet, turn restrictions look like this.. Incorrect turn restritions Looks pretty wrong to me. Most of those segments not supposed to have U-turns, nor left across solid yellow.

Do not map like this (a collection of incorrect mapping practices)

You ā€œ7 correctā€ is looks incorrect. Right turning turning slip lane starts way earlier. If you didn’t notice that, delete your account immediately.
