| OpenStreetMap + Public Transportation Route | Well done. I agree that the route finder should include public transport. |
|
| Capturing and uploading 360° imagery with Mapillary: 3. Front vs Side | The first sign says something like “Holy Trinity”. :P Thousands of hours looking and grainy aerial imagery paying off. But seriously, thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. Great to see there are other non-driving mapillarists out there, too. |

| When is a path not a path? | Very interesting read, perfectly illustrated. Thank you! |
|
| it's ❄️🥶 | Yup, best time for mapping indoors. Fancy mapping a little in Ireland? County Roscommon needs some buildings and possible minor roads added. Bing imagery is the best there. |
|
| fieldpapers non-functional | Thanks for the feedback. I’ll give Sketch Map a try. |
|
| OpenStreetMap Carto release v5.7.0 | Thanks for your hard work! |
|
| b-unicycling has a youtube channel | This is not an obituary. I’m okay. Just in case people were wondering. And thanks! |

| Namensherkunft der Straßen in Moers (de) | Super Projekt!!! Ich habe davon im weeklyOSM gelesen, einen Tag nachdem mein Video ueber mein kleines Projekt bei YouTube online gegangen ist, so ein Zufall. Video ist auf Englisch mit automatisch generierten deutschen Untertiteln (fuer Korrekturlesen war ich dieses Mal zu faul). Wie oft werden die Daten geupdated? |

| First day of being an OpenStreetMap volunteer contributor! | Welcome and enjoy mapping! |
|
| How to build a mapping community: Ten tips | Thanks for sharing! |
|
| AED Survey | Before I used the Quick Action on OSMAnd, I had usually just used |
|
| Newspaper article about crannog discoveries | @Fizzie41: Yeah, but I guess it looks more impressive on satellite than on a map. The provider was their choice, I only gave them the coordinates, because I didn’t want to breach copyright. And thanks, all! |

| history is a hot mess | Usually the name contains something like “burial ground” or “palace” or “castle”, so I could be more precise than “historic=yes”. |
|
| history is a hot mess | I would make an exception in cases like “Roman villa”, because villas are still being built, but the meaning has changed. Nobody is still building oppida/ oppidums. |
|
| history is a hot mess | I think that is because people still think with paper maps in mind, where all the information had to be in the label. This is after I’ve seen people take over a label from a paper map reading “Giant’s Grave” as the “historic” value. Obviously, there were no giants in history, so this is a local name for some megalithic tomb. (I’ve seen the same in Italian.) |

| Transformation of Iłowa [1] - Suburb on Borowska | Looks really nice and more inviting to live there with the green. Well done. |
|
| Mapping schools in Chandigarh | A very good project to work on. Well done. |
|
| In a year... | Well done on mapping so much within your first year! Keep it up! |

| mapping thatched buildings | Very cute umbrellas. About the material, I have talked to a friend who works in the Heritage Council, and she said that the thatch (probably reeds) growing along the River Shannon is useless now. I have contacted a thatched in the area and will hopefully learn more about materials etc. Re Devon: I remember reading and translating a book about rural architecture in England “Traditional Houses of Rural Britain”. I really liked it, it’s all about how their styles differ because of the different local materials at disposal to the builders.
Re mapping roof shapes: I think we’re supposed to map footprint. It’s a different story for 3D mapping, of course. |

| Archaeological Discovery | @Mateusz Konieczny: Could be anything from Bronze Age to early Middle Ages, but without an archaeological excavation, there’s no telling. I doubt it will ever get excavated, though, because there are too many of these structures around. Unless the farmer wants to build a house on it, then he should call in an archaeologist, but builders are usually not that eager to involve archaeologists, because it slows down the building project and makes it more expensive, too. |
