There used to be some states where having anything attached to your windshield that would obstruct a clear view for the driver was prohibited, which could include dashcams. I don’t know if that’s still the case. Regardless, I prefer to have it recording in case I need it to prove that I am not at fault if some idiot gets me into a situation. The Mapillary / Kartaview uploads are a bonus.

Concat’ing the video files and then extracting the GPX may indeed make more sense. as long as the concat doesn’t mangle the location data stream, but no reason to assume that would be the case. Thanks for the comments!

@traveleditor I’m thinking about having an integrated iD editor like Tasking Manager has, but I don’t know if iD supports adding features like that.

I’m open to other UX to accomplish this. If you want a quicker workflow specifically for buildings, Rapid is worth a look!

Not currently, no. If interest in this challenge type picks up, it’d be something to consider.

@SLMapper it is certainly possible to create a Challenge from an Overpass query. That does not work for the “Tag Fix” style challenges, because MapRoulette needs to know what tags to add / change / remove as part of the task information. That is why these special preparation steps are needed.

Airfall: Try out geom instead of ; (._;>;); out;.

See ‘Beware of recursions’ on this page in the docs.

Hope this helps!

Matheus – unfortunately I don’t know anything about the fate of Cygnus. You could try contacting someone at Grab, there’s probably some contact info on their OSM wiki page.

There seem to be project governance related issues with PSA.

How about Requests-OAuthlib?

There’s OAuth 2.0 now but 1.0a is still supported, and I guess will be for a while?

Is there a sample client app? I can probably help out a bit to dust it off if needed.

Christian - thanks for sharing links to your work as well! The OAuth module is something I may use soon in fact.

For __geo_interface__, I think it would be great to have a canonical representation of OSM nodes, ways, relations in Python that support __geo_interface__ interoperability. I think I am probably 60% of the way there with the implementation in osmdiff. I would be happy to extract it to a separate module if that makes sense for visibility and clarity. The __geo_interface__ implementation for Relation is almost certainly too simplistic, it just iterates over the members to create a FeatureCollection right now.

There’s also OSMNx, which is widely used in the academic community but I don’t know how useful it is as a general purpose module for OSM data processing and representation. I think it’s specifically targeted at network analysis use cases, but I haven’t used it myself.

I’d love to collaborate on this.

Sorry to hear you contracted Covid, Amanda. I did as well and I know of at least one other person.

Thanks for the summary, that reminds me to watch the Board AMA that I missed while I was there!

Perhaps if we do some mall mapping (see my diary post from yesterday) in Davis (Station Park, Layton Hills) or Weber county (Newmark), that may be enough of an encouragement? :)

I added some comments to the import wiki.

I love the theme park @Aury88!

The indoor mapping is pretty impressive too. I never figured out how to do it. Are there tools that make it easier?

Thanks for posting this! I would be happy to help out. I don’t think there have been other imports from this particular dataset, although other UGRC sources have been used for import, mainly building footprints.

If this import works well, we may use it as a template for other counties / cities.

It’s probably a bit far for you if you’re in the Logan area, but we have monthly OSM meetups in SLC.

I am the OSM user who had the waiver letter signed by UGRC by the way! I’m happy to connect you with folks at UGRC if any questions arise.

Thanks for the history lesson, both!

@SimonPoole What were “uploads” called before they were called changesets? I don’t remember.

@Zverik this is now on the Hacker News front page, you may see some heavy load on your 2012 tile server…

@GinaroZ there may just not be any map data to look at yet in 2008! If you look at areas where mapping activity was already underway in 2008, you will see a more interesting map, like here.

Learning something new again, I didn’t know the Overpass API could output images!

You don’t have to download an entire full history planet to make this work, any region from Geofabrik will work just fine. You can have it up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Thanks for sharing your personal observations and highlights Feye! Great to meet you in person (although it was very short) Glad you enjoyed the MapRoulette talk :)
