We would like to thank Toerisme Vlaanderen for their continued support of OSM.be as a Corporate Member. They decided to join as a member during their @MapComplete based Pin Je Punt project https://toerismevlaanderen.be/nl/thema/fietsen/pinjepunt

We moved our historical maps to https://historical.osm.be (you never could have guessed it!). The map has a bunch of Belgian maps dating from 1729 to present day. Current OSM roads can be overlayed to easily compare the historical situation to present day. It also offers Belgian OSM tiles from 2019 to 2022, so that you can see how OSM evolved. On top of that, there are overlays including detailed hillshade and the NGI Mapindex, a map to easily share locations over the phone.

Did you know we provide free basemaps for Belgium in default, Dutch and French language version? Thanks to @ChampsLibres we now have a plan to update them at least yearly!
More details here:

You can play with current & historical versions (2019, 2020, 2022) of the tiles here: https://play.osm.be/historischekaart.html#17/50.73016/4.23513/OSMBelgiumArchiveMarch2019-OSMroads

Ever wondered what goes into creating the aerial imagery we have available in Belgium as open data?
There is a great video on how they do it in the Netherlands (it's a similar process to how it's done in BE): https://youtu.be/cb3iT4rELjY
(video is in Dutch)

Our own Stéphane De Greef has fully covered the entire Belgian capital #Brussels by bike to create street-level imagery in 360° using one of our GoPro Hero Max's.

All footage is available on Mapillary under the CC-BY-SA license.

Massive applause 👏👏👏

@openstreetmap: is the next release of iD already scheduled? The default imagery for Flanders has been moved. We updated in ELI some time back https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/pull/1871
