hot_tech we have a problem (or six).

I have not read the texts. What I know is that some people invent problems for a living.

MapComplete theme for campers

@joost Just believe me. I must have mapped with more than 1200 pictures by now. Maybe someone has a solution.

Is there already a datestamp on the pictures ?

Two Weeks into the OSMF Community Survey

I answered before the banner went up on osm.org. I would not have answered if I had seen the banner.

Update on How the 2021 Survey is Going

How do I get rid of the ad in the OSM Explorer ?

Update on How the 2021 Survey is Going

It did not work because links in the Junk folder do not work.

Update on How the 2021 Survey is Going

I have little propensity to start a survey when I don’t know what it is about. Nevertheless, because it is you who asked I started it. The link that I received in an email does not work.

Valley of the Elongated Heads.

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.

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.
