Nice work ! Looking forward to have it implemented on Nominatim endpoints !

Great writeup and good looking results, thank you for your work !

Great release, thank you for the writeup !

Thank you for this useful experiment !

Thank you for your analysis ! (I am not related to any party you mention)

Thank you for sharing this project

Thank you for the blog post ! Love to see more vector tile uses !

Bonjour et bienvenue sur OpenStreetMap,

Vous avez deux chemins possibles :

• Créer une note avec toutes les informations de votre galerie (sa position, nom, numéro de téléphone, site web…) sur la carte afin que des contributeurs habitués à OpenStreetMap l’ajoutent

• Modifier vous-même la carte avec l’éditeur.

Les deux approches sont décrites ici; la première est peut-être plus adaptée si vous ne souhaitez qu’ajouter votre galerie.

N’hésitez pas à répondre ici ou poser des questions sur le forum OpenStreetMap France

Maybe (idk) the trademark policy is unenforcable in regard to the law for some cases, but all users are explicitely required to follow it :

1. How to use the OSM marks Whenever you use the OSM marks, regardless of why you are allowed to use the marks, you must comply >with the requirements in this section.

2.1. Proper form You may: use the wordmarks as a proper name (e.g. “OpenStreetMap is great”) or as an adjective (e.g. “the >OpenStreetMap projects are awesome”).

@SimonPoole : It’s spliting hairs a bit, but I think the trademark policy is fair game, as the subset of OSM users/contributors that have used somewhere the “OpenStreetMap” brand is around 100%.

For example posting on a social network “I just made my first Open Street Maps contribution” (typos intended) would be covered by this policy, even if nobody cares about enforcing it.

I think GDPR and other “underlying legislation” are besides SunCobalt’s point as the “OSM project” did not write those or did not actively choose them (e.g. Creative Commons/ODbL).

Pretty neat !

Maybe you could mention that you are using Overpass API and the overpass-api.de server ? Their server is used by a lot of projects and having a mention is the least consumers can do :)

Hello,

I’m not sure who you are trying to reach with your blog message, but this is a blog platform related to OpenStreetMap, a map database.

Thank you for the heads up !

Note that the same goes for country, postcode, city etc. Most of those are already mapped as boundaries, so mappers only need to add “addresses” that cannot be determined automatically.

There is no need to add this tag on every entity inside the county, it only bloats the database.

The county administrative boundaries seem well-mapped, and a random search with Nominatim confirms that entities inside the boundary can correctly be geocoded as part of the Somerset county.

I want to know who is responsible and for them to be held accountable, preferrably removed from project.

That is not remaining civil. Your comment under the post is.

I don’t think OSM has any stake in this dispute, as they state in Informationfor officials and diplomats ofcountries and entities with disputed territories :

“The existence of a name, boundary location or description in the OpenStreetMapdatabase does NOT imply that that it is legally correct in any jurisdiction.”

They only made a decision to conform to a rule that was approved before this dispute.

This was not a light decision, and one that they would have preferred not to take. Please remain civil, that will help your voice to be heard.

On the top-right side of the map on the main website, there is a button (the third one) that let’s you display your location. This data comes from your browser, so the precision can vary.

If you have a smartphone, you can use an application such as OsmAnd that can use GPS to give you a more exact location, on the go.

As always, thank you for this nice release !
