A little how-to on mapping playgrounds in #OpenStreetMap, courtesy of Klenje: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Klenje/diary/402616.

Which street-level image service do you commit to and why?

It seems pretty clear that street-level imaging on OSM is pretty lacking, unless you only want to see highways....

Is it me, or is !openstreetmap getting more and more lively? In the past few days, there was at least one post per day, which is comparable to the osm-subreddit...

If you think you've seen complicated and disputed borders between countries, I raise you the Baarle-Nassau - Baarle-Hertog community in the Netherlands 😮

Plan a running route with these 5 free run planner websites

https://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/06/featured/plan-a-running-route-free-run-planner-websites.html.

Unsurprisingly, 3 are using OpenStreetMap data.

This also means you can correct and add paths yourself if you ever notice some are wrong or missing.

City Guessr is a fun map based geography game.

But which one of the four games called 'City Guessr' am I talking about?

Why not play all four and decide for yourself?

#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.

Read the interview at https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/08/01/joost-schouppe.html.

Interesting paper from #MDPI about “Mapping with #ChatGPT” concludes it delivers unique advantages, such as:

• lowering the barrier to producing maps
• boosting the efficiency of massive map production
• and understanding geographical space with its spatial thinking capability.

Limitations cited are:

• its unequal benefits for different users (need to have some expertise already)
• and necessary user intervention for quality control.

Search engine that defaults to open street map?

I tend to use maps from a search browser and it suddenly occurred to me that if the search engine I used defaulted to open street maps I would use it. Do any search engines default map searches to open street maps?

For this #OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM entry, the spotlight is on Michel Hebert from #Grenoble, France: https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/07/01/michel-hebert.html. He will probably be known by the people following @OsmGrenoble.

OSM Relatify is a new web tool designed to simplify the process of editing public transport relations in #OpenStreetMap. A key feature is the smart routing logic to automatically construct bus routes from given bus stops and ways, taking into account factors like one-way streets and roundabouts.

I have noticed that my Windows machines are trying to update Edge over HTTP to the link below. I have would have thought it should be using HTTPS

http://msedge.b.tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/

I found this Microsoft article which says HTTP is a legitimate source, but I can't find why it would use HTTP in the first place. Any thoughts?
