Решил расширенно заняться корректировкой данных о моем СНТ в #OpenStreetMaps. А то там данные 5-6 летней давности. Многих домов нет вообще. Нумерации нет в принципе. Границы садоводства указаны неверно.
Проблема в том, что в #OSM для базовой отрисовки использовался спутниковый снимок... не знаю какого года, но на нем нет даже соседнего ДНП - вместо него лес. Стал думать, на основании чего рисовать. И тут дошло: у меня же есть дрон! Поднять его в воздух, сделать снимок куска СНТ метров с 60, подложить под карту, смасштабировать и всё! Потом так же со следующим куском.
Anyone know of good tools for annotating trails on top of OpenStreetMap data and then viewing the resulting trail + map data interactively, but OFFLINE, on an iPhone? Is there a video guide on how to do this?
You can create the trail you want to walk - despite having never been there before (in advance), then just download it as a .GPX file and open/use it on your mobile, completely offline in a suitable app e.g. OsmAnd
"Here’s where it gets interesting — GCJ-02 is based on WGS-84, but with a deliberate obfuscation algorithm applied to it. The effect of this is that there are random offsets added to both latitude and longitude, ranging from as little as 50m to as much as 500m
(...)
it’s against the law in China to convert GCJ-02 (obfuscated coordinates) into WGS-84"
@Saint_loup@MoritzBrouhaha This is very interesting. Wonder what the situation with #OpenStreetMaps is? Seems like it would depend – some coordinates that are accurate, because they are based on satellite images, but others that are offset, if the person placing an amenity happens to have obfuscated position information.
Ontem, estivemos no Campus da Universidade do Minho no Open Knowledge Braga 2024, organizado pela @wikimediapt , para aprender e contribuir para o #OpenStreetMaps#OMS.
Também usámos aplicações móveis como a #StreetComplete que permite responder a perguntas sobre o local onde nos encontramos (se as escadas têm corrimão ou se têm rampas, que tipo de piso tem o chão, etc.) ou como a @everydoor que permite mapear pontos de interesse no OSM (até árvores! 😊).
I've been playing with #OpenStreetMaps via #osmnx, which is awesome , but I struggle with simple stuff like adding a bunch of places as markers. Everything looks a bit like the owl drawing meme, either showing something too easy and useless, or something too advanced and also useless or beyond my comprehension. Maybe some other Python tools?
(I know about Marcelo's fabulous PrettyMaps but it is not exactly a viz tool)
I know #matplotlib can do cartography (maps), and #osmnx uses it to plot stuff, but I can't find documentation or a decent tutorial to plot a base map and a list of latlong places as different sized circles. I'm struggling with #cartopy, in theory a wrapper to make mapping easier :((
Is it that hard or I'm just too dumb and/or I'm making everything wrong? #Python
My favorite thing about #OpenStreetMaps#OSM is that when I add a trail, people start using it more. Many popular apps use data derived from OSM and suddenly these trails are on their maps!
Plot twist: o café fechou permanentemente mesmo!!!
As pessoas fazem coisas boas, as pessoas fazem coisas más... A gente se ajuda, a gente se prejudica.
Hoje na cota das coisas más:
Alguém marcou como permanentemente fechado no Google Maps, um café que eu vou de vez em quando no Paraíso, Duckbill da rua Cubatão. Não é nem o meu café preferido da região, que é o Fora da Lei, mas tem tomadas nas mesas, então para usar o computador é melhor.
Fui dar uma busca para mandar o endereço para uma pessoa e não tava achando, quando consegui achar, vi que estava marcado como fechado permanentemente... ai ai.
Well I've been hard at work improving the map of the Zambales region in the Philippines. Still working on it but users of map services that are based on OSM expect BIG improvements. Personally I can't wait to see the next organicmaps.app update. #Philippines#openstreetmaps#organicmaps#opensource
A lot of people over here in fedi use open street maps. Could both fedi software and open street maps work on being more inter-connected? Could than fedi posters help with adding reviews and descriptions to establishments and places? Could open street maps contribute map integrations and recreation discovery to the fediverse? #OpenStreetmaps#OpenStreetMap#OpenSource#Foss#Geography#Leisure#Meta
Frage zu #osmand und #openstreetmaps. Kann mir jemand erklären, warum OsmAnd diesen Feldweg hier in die normale Routenplanung auf dem Fahrrad einbezieht? Hab ich da in der App was falsch eingestellt? https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/70081265
Weil, im Sommer ist das alles zugewachsen und man sieht noch zwei Meter festgetretenen Schlamm, der sich zwischen Büschen verliert. Da fährt kein normaler Mensch mit dem Rad einfach so rein.
Ich habe seit gestern die #Android App #StreetComplete und kann damit sehr einfach Karten bearbeiten mittels simplen Fragen.
(iOS-Alternative wäre Go Map!! und dort die Quests aktivieren)
Alles was man dazu braucht ist ein Account auf openstreetmap.org
Bei Google Maps braucht man schließlich auch einen Google Account.
Der Unterschied besteht darin, das hier alle Apps davon profitieren, die auf #OpenStreetMaps zurückgreifen, dazu gehören unter anderem:
I'm no longer sure who it was on here, but some one recommended organic maps app as a privacy friendly alternative to Google maps, built on #openstreetmaps I've been trying it out the last 3 days and it is really brilliant. So 🙏 to whoever it was.
Just donated $100 to the amazing Organic Maps project: Trackerless, fully offline, OSM based, open source mapping for Android/iOS. Great UX & routing, super fast & good coverage even of hiking paths, elevation lines & public transport layers...
From their website: "Organic Maps is one of a few applications nowadays that supports 100% of features without an active Internet connection. Install Organic Maps, download maps, throw away your SIM card (by the way, your operator constantly tracks you), and go for a weeklong trip on a single battery charge without any byte sent to the network."
Update: Some progress — I converted the network to a geodataframe and filtered it by the "name" column, it feels very awkward yet and I'm not sure what I'm doing.
I had the perfect example of the way our devices are listening to us.
Yesterday I said to hubby that I was going to clean the dishwasher because I hadn't done it for ages, and he said, have you got any tablets to do it with?
Today out of the blue, I get an email advertising dishwasher tablets!!
His phone was switched on, and on the kitchen table. There was no other way this conversation could have been transmitted.
@oldrawgabbit people are responding that the only way to prevent this is to never use technological devices
no, an option for privacy is to just turn things off when not in use
other options are to use more private devices
"When beginning the journey of restoring digital privacy, some people get overwhelmed with all the work involved, and perhaps give up. Don’t let that be you. Understand that you don’t need to do everything right away. Instead, start small and go step by step at your own pace. With each step in the process, you get more security and control over your personal data, which is a small victory." https://restoreprivacy.com/google-alternatives/

Went to add #Montenegro bus routes on #GoogleMaps and promptly found out they don't allow regular users to add such info.
Sent an email to the Mayor offering help. But being the stubborn engineer that I am, I couldn't sit around and wait.
Remembered #OpenStreetMaps exists! And a lot of work had already been done! Furthermore, I found that the official website for the capital, in its "Map" section, uses the OSM API, not GMaps!
Every giant temple to consumption (read: store) I went to today had a bike rack. All hangers, no wheel benders in sight. These were all places I had never cycled to before, so finding those bike racks was a little tricky - none of them were in #OpenStreetMaps. Now they are.
Ok, so my #LetsDeGoogle journey on a stock Samsung Galaxy S21 FE came to the point of ditching Google Maps. Well, I'm doing a bit of a tricks here. I have Gmaps WV by @divested installed, but once I find what I need, I share it to #osm2gmaps by @retiolus, which passes it to #MagicEarth - it has the least complicated #openstreetmaps GUI with the best public transport details.
