I think it was every 10 seconds, because the barge was slow, about 4 to 5 knots, if I remember correctly. Btw, interesting to see that OSMAnd changed the speed unit to knots automatically.

Maybe they can be put in a master relation, because that route in Cornwall looks similar to the one on the official website.

@myozone: The GoPro Max does that automatically, even though it’s a few meters off.

Thanks very much! I hope I won’t ever need to follow these instructions, but it’s good to have them.

@Peter Bremer: Thanks for you comment. I deleted that sequence already, thankfully I’ll have another chance going that direction. Are there any how-tos or videos out there you would recommend to explain how to fix the centre of the 360 imagery? (I know there’s a word for it; I just can’t remember it.)

Thank you for your comment, Taya_S! We’re enjoying ourselves a lot, thanks!

I wouldn’t know enough about mapping in the States to do anything about that. I added addr:street to some of the houses, though. It’s up to the locals to do their share now.

Obviously, addresses are more important than defibrillators, but I thought that was a given.

@sykul: I think I’m quite competitive (mostly with myself), when it comes to mapping which keeps me going. Setting myself certain goals and then going beyond. And visualization helps, so checking the progress and seeing the buildings appear on the actual map or checking the differences on f4map, for example.

@Awoobis: Thanks. I just used good old fashioned manual mapping in JOSM and Bing imagery. I probably missed a couple of buildings hiding under trees, but over 6,000 buildings still make a difference.

Very interesting project, well done.

Have you considered that the imagery has been updated since the mapping stage was finished, even for some tasks mapped in 2020? This task has been open for four years and has possibly seen three Bing imagery updates in that time. The perks of being close to the capital; very few other regions in Ireland and with that the tasks have had that privilege.

I’m fairly sure Fingal has had two Bing updates, when Kilkenny has had none, for example.

Ich kann nicht helfen, aber als Exil-Thüringerin finde ich die Initiative großartig. Davon kann ich hier in Irland nur träumen.

Thanks, I’ve added that information to the image description.

Hi Milhouse, thanks for taking the time to comment. House numbers are not really legible on the imagery, but luckily, I had mapped them all already. In one estate where I hadn’t, I had the camera in one hand and used StreetComplete with the other which wasn’t ideal, but I didn’t walk through the estate twice.

The quality from walking with a selfie stick is still better than on the helmet, but maybe my helmet is also not stable enough in my head.

Et voila: panoramax

Oh, good question, I completely forgot to write about that aspect! Will add it to the text.

@ivanbranco: Very interesting about the Serbian ones, so many! You could add the new tag as well, if you like. From the two that have wikimedia links, they don’t seem to be decorated (apart from the crosses cut into them which I didn’t spot in the photos), could you elaborate a little on what their meaning is, because that isn’t covered on the wiki page, and the Google translation is somewhat difficult to understand.

I wouldn’t mind a https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sacred_tree=zapis, even if it is not English, but if these things don’t exist in the English speaking word, I think it’s okay to use the local language.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a very interesting project, well done!

@simonschaufi: How do you know nobody in the future will come along and look for exactly that information? I’d rather map the obscure stuff and nobody will come looking for that data than someone coming along not finding any information. And it isn’t like we’re leaving out the “more important” stuff in favour of obscure things. You don’t get to 8 million map changes by only mapping pavement lights.

And the government authorities are looking for that information coming to us now, because they can’t get the information anywhere else.

And if GovernorKeagon only takes an interest in historic stuff, so be it. At least it got them into mapping. And they have mapped other things as well.

And I’m sure, like so many of us, they see more things and other things than before they were mapping, pavement lights just being one example.

Happy mapping with the buildings!

Welcome to this noble cause!

It’s very much a learning by doing and learning by asking around, in my experience.

You have your work cut out for yourself in Northampton anyways.
