#Besançon "Bois de la Chaillé"
Mais où est-ce qu'ils sont allés chercher ça ? 🤔
Franchement, quand est-ce que #France3_BourgogneFrancheComté arrête d'utiliser #GoogleMaps pour ses localisations d'événements ? 😖
C'est souvent approximatif ou sans info pertinente, et c'est principalement une vitrine pour des annonceurs divers et chelous. 😩
Alors qu'on peut intégrer un lien #Géoportail ou #OSM pour avoir une info claire et pertinente. 🙄
An example of how #osm2gmaps will bridge the gap between #navigation applications in next release. This protects your #privacy if you use open-source applications and makes your life easier in all cases!
Here, by clicking on a #GoogleMaps link, osm2gmaps opens #OrganicMaps, the app I use every day for navigation.
Figurez vous que ce sont des joueurs de #PokémonGo qui modifient OpenStreetMaps (sur lequel le jeu est basé) pour créer des fausses plages pour faire apparaître des Pokémon rares. Parce qu'ils sont trop fatigués pour aller trouver une vraie plage. https://www.404media.co/pokemon-go-players-invent-fake-beaches-on-real-maps-to-catch-rare-wigletts/
La communauté a mis un filtre pour voir les changements faits par de "nouveaux utilisateurs" qui envoyaient clairement des dizaines de fausses cartes. Ils en sont réduit à expliquer aux utilisateurs que OpenStreetMap est une VRAIE carte et ne pas mettre de fausses plages.
Comme quoi l'invasion de faux contenus ce n'est pas que sur #Twitter ou #Facebook. 😅 #osm
My latest pet #project: Replace the "free" #location sharing services with simple solution where one has full control of (a) data collection (b) data storage (c) data sharing/visualisation.
If you want to give this #GoogleLatitude like alternative a go, I'd be happy for any and all comments:
The main idea here is that for years I hade 24/7 shared location with trusted circle of people, so that I have a chance of getting help in case something goes significantly sideways on my (mountain) adventures.
And as #GoogleMaps is getting less and less useful, I thought that finding an alternative for this one use-case should be easy.
It is not. All the solutions I've found have questionable ideas about data processing or steep pricing model or vendor lock-in or all of the above.
So I thought that for folks with similar needs I should build easy(tm) to start & operate alternative.
Ich habe vor 6 Jahren ein Restaurant in #Mannheim auf #GoogleMaps bewertet. 3/5 Sternen und 2-3 Sätze was mir gefallen hat und was nicht.
Heute habe ich 2 Entfernungsanträge zu dieser einen Bewertung bekommen.
Auszug aus der Beschwerde. Ein mit Paragraphen vollgeballerter Text, dass ich die Persönlichkeitsrechte des Inhabers verletzen würde. Und dieser Text wurde 40x kopiert. Also die Beschwerde beinhaltet den Text 40x...
Unterschrieben von einem Anwalt, der zu existieren scheint, wird Google eine 2 wöchige Frist eingeräumt, die Bewertung zu entfernen, bevor geklagt wird.
Nun hat Google mir 7 Tage eingeräumt, mich zu äußern und Belege vorzulegen, dass ich das Restaurant tatsächlich besucht habe.
Let us announce the March/April release with updated European elevation data, and welcome new contributors! Read the detailed announcement on our website:
My question is when you think it will be available the transports maps to use like on #googlemaps ? Since is the only why a lot of people, most of them, are not using #OrganicMaps 🙂
Prime example of engineers not actually living in the real world:
Whoever runs #googlemaps needs to get out and drive the countryside lanes in the UK. While they are 'national' speed limited at 60mph these are NOT 60mph roads. More like 20mph.
The Google maps routing algorithm doesn't take this into account at all so will happily route you down a single lane dirt track thinking it'll save you a few minutes and ends up costing you 20 instead.
Moral of the story: use your product at the edges.
Got invited to this Riverkeeper meeting in Ossining. Planning to take the Hudson line and then either walk or bike the Old Croton Aqueduct from a little out from the Ossining #MetroNorth station. #OpenStreetMap says the path surface is dirt. The meeting is April 25 so it could be muddy.. #GoogleMaps is totally useless. If a car can't drive it, they don't fucking care and the path may as well not exist. With OpenStreetMaps I can make a notation as to condition.
@oliver hier hatte @radioscout gerade ebenfalls berichtet: "Ich habe gerade mit großer Freude gesehen, daß die DHL-Paketverfolgung jetzt #Openstreetmap verwendet." \🤓/📦
Finally tried out Immersive View on Google Maps. Still kinda laggy with the touch interactions, on my iPhone 13 mini. The time travel thing is pretty cool.
"What Happens to Google Maps When Tectonic Plates Move?"
Great question (think huge earthquakes) and an incredibly interesting read (to me at least!)
As I made my way through this, I couldn't help but think about the precision of weapon systems aiming at a specific spot on the ground, based on potentially faulty map data. 😐
Brakuje mi ciagle na #GoogleMaps w Polsce dokladnych zdjec (czy bardziej "street view") wnetrz, zeby moc sie na spokojnie rozeznac czy miejsce, do ktorego chcialbym sie wybrac bedzie przystosowane czy mam sie liczyc z trudnosciami
I tak, wiem, ze sa otwartozrodlowe apki, takie jak #Wheelmap, ale umowmy sie - jesli w GM nie ma odpowiednich informacji to co dopiero w takich apkach, ktorych w calych Katowicach pewnie uzywa 5 osob na krzyz ;)
A poza tym brakuje mi osob chetnych do wyjscia na specyficzne imprezy ;) Jest na przyklad w Kato klub #Scena54, w ktorym - z tego co widze - czesto gra poznanska, house'owa smietanka DJow - #Neevald, #Matush, niedawno byla impreza z #Miqro
Natomiast sam klub moze sie okazac niewypalem, bo z tego co czytam w opiniach, selekcja i ochrona bywa "specyficzna" - wiec jeden problem to ewentualne bariery architektoniczne po drodze (ktorych nie ma jak sprawdzic - patrz p. 1), a drugi problem to wlasnie specyfika klubu - jakby bylo z kim isc to przynajmniej w przypadku niewypalu i odbicia sie od drzwi jest opcja porobic cos innego ;)
I'm pretty tired of having to use #GoogleMaps to share locations with people I'm making appointments with.
I've made a little application to convert the sharing links from #OrganicMaps to Google Maps which I open in this example, but there's no need in practice, I just have to share it with whoever I want!
I've also set up https://mapu.retiolus.net, which can be activated in the settings, if needed, to resolve certain short links from Google Maps without going through their servers.
😍 As a passionate Local Guide, I'm always looking for new ways to use #GoogleMaps, so imagine my excitement when I got access to their latest AI-powered discovery experiment!
