Because there do not exist tags for those lines.

Adding the #newbie tag when making changes on OpenStreetMap + Tips for New Mappers?

Women have always been welcome in Belgium, even too much. But it does not help. We cannot force anyone to be interested in mapping.

If snapchat uses osm, you might have to wait a bit.

Is my comment a reason for censorship ?

We are sorry we kept you from mapping.

New Local Chapters in the OSMF

The whole country was very unhappy with one mapper. I informed the DWG, I received no answer. I do not like to work many hours to document a complaint.

A local chapter could also delegate “powers”, such as the power to quickly delete notes.

New Local Chapters in the OSMF

Local chapters should quickly ban maverick mappers and noters, except for me of course.

Comparing GPS Traces of 3 Readilly Available Devices

Dual frequency may in the future, who knows become more than 2 frequencies, so call it multi band, that could be called multi GNSS, or multi GPS, for the common folk. :)

Garmin seems to have its own terminology.

Multi-GNSS smartphones are already very common. I don’t know multi-band, I only know what is called dual frequency. Garmin has only recently released a dual frequency thing.

My Experiance With Devices Used in OSM Surveys

Public announcement to all mappers = be sure that your next smartphone has dual frequency GNSS.

Accuracy and Precision in GPS Units

I also use the streetlights and manhole covers for precision. They are or were also in the Flanders official map.

I take perpendicular pictures with house corners, the latter objects, zebra crossings and my POI. I count the pavestones for example.

I know all “buts”, but I go for max.

The “feet” in ID were I handicap, but today I saw it has become meters.

Accuracy and Precision in GPS Units

The most important thing to consider at this moment is dual frequency GNSS.

Freedom of Information requests

Here I have even an example in where the province just guesses. Half of it is wrong. https://stefandewinter.be/provincieraad/drinkfonteinen-in-onze-provincie/

Freedom of Information requests

And you trust the government ? I even discovered a vicious circle of public data and osm data. They both picked from one another without verifying, just for the important good cause.

Busy with Board Business

I have no problem with the diversity statement, but it is colonial.

Mapillary and Facebook - Combining our open mapping efforts

Not all pictures are useful. It is hard for a picture to show detail and an overview of the place. And if one does not recognise the place, he can go back some pictures to a street he knows.

The first use of Mapillary in small objects is verification, and that is much easier with Mapillary sequences.

By the way, I work in the rescue business. In our region OSM is needed for mapping AEDs. The official system does not work. After mapping 650 of them, I know.

Mapillary and Facebook - Combining our open mapping efforts

As I wrote already on the Belgian forum : Some people prefer to let people die, instead of using Mapillary to show the way to a defibrillator. How true to principles can one be ?

A Mapillary layer in Overpass Turbo would help a lot.
