I find contributing to #OSM very good for my #mentalhealth. I pick an unmapped area, close to the beach or in the mountain and enjoy adding pools or rural areas.
📬 You've got mail! Germany's national postal service (Deutsche Post/DHL) has switched to OpenStreetMap for their public facing websites, https://deutschepost.de, https://dhl.de. 🎉🥳🎊🎁
Okay, if you have 250 GB of disk space available, and a few gigs of RAM, #KomootPhoton is impressive. A query like localhost:2322/api?q=rathausstr+17, with no further qualifiers, bounding box, or whatever, returned after 1048 ms.
That's on my laptop. Searching over all of the addresses on the globe.
Quando apro #OSM nel browser, come faccio a visualizzare i dettagli di un POI? Mettiamo caso che la mappa sia sul centro di Milano ed ho il POI "Duomo di Milano" a portata di click. So per certo che ci sono informazioni aggiuntive e so di poterle raggiungere cliccando col tasto dx del mouse, selezionando ricerca elementi e poi andando a pescare nell'elenco a sinistra la struttura.Non c'è un modo per cliccare direttamente sul nome della struttura sulla mappa ed avere i dettagli, tipo Google Maps?
Only 1 week left to apply to present at #StateOfTheMap (@sotm), the annual #OpenStreetMap global conference, in Nairobi, Kenya.The Call for Participation is open until 2024-04-23
This is a BFD, folks. Open Social Media (#OSM)* is here, and it can be made almost dictator-proof (but nothing can be asshole proof).
I just can’t call it a “fediverse” anymore. It’s too casual for such a big concept that must accommodate all sorts of protocols, apps, and methods. I like writing “OSM, Open web and Open social.” They all convey the same idea, relatively unambiguously, no matter which variant is used in a given context.
So eine Lastenrad / Fahrradanhänger Einstellung für #organicMaps wär schon nice, oder?
Stand heute wieder mit dem Lastenrad vor einer Treppe mit schmaler Fahrrad-schiebe-Rampe an der Seite. Treppe ist in #osm richtig eingetragen, die Einstellungen müsste man in der App machen.
Zusätzlich könnte man da Fahrradschikanen und co. ignorieren lassen...
Post und DHL verwenden neuerdings OpenStreetMap als Grundlage für ihre Karten 👍
Wenn sie jetzt noch OSM für die Standorte ihrer Briefkästen und Packstationen benutzen würden, könnte man sich viel Sucherei sparen. OSM ist oft viel genauer, als die Standorte der Post.
Has anyone seen @openstreetmap#OSM#OpenStreetMap get vandalised like this and do you know what I can do about it? I mean, how & where can I report it? Random streets added at certain zoom levels, some with obscene names:
There are 12,000 people following this account 🥳 , but only ~2,000 people are members of the OpenStreetMap Foundation 😔 . Take your #OSM support to the next level by becoming a member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation today! 🚀 <https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/#Membership-Categories>
It's even available for free 😍 if you've “consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap” (explain in the application, or edit OSM for 42+ days in the last yr.)
