| Valley of the Elongated Heads. | Because there do not exist tags for those lines. |

| Valley of the Elongated Heads. | To judge for yourself in ID = Map Data Map Features Disable All |
|
| 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. |

| Adding business to map |
If snapchat uses osm, you might have to wait a bit. |

| A Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behaviour in the OSM Community. (Updated) | Is my comment a reason for censorship ? |
|
| A Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behaviour in the OSM Community. (Updated) | 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. :) |
|
| Comparing GPS Traces of 3 Readilly Available Devices | Garmin seems to have its own terminology. |
|
| Comparing GPS Traces of 3 Readilly Available Devices | 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 ? |

| Cleaning Up Hospitals and Hotels in Turkmenistan | A Mapillary layer in Overpass Turbo would help a lot. |
