Wow that’s ridiculous

Last Weekend I installed GNU Octave in Desktop Mode to plot a mathematical curve

Picture please!

The map tiles are greyed out and have less contrast then before. Unfortunately there is also no switch setting for normal mode.

Now I use the Mozilla Dark Reader Addon to increase contrast again. Makes the experience of osm.org in dark mode much better.

It’s a good idea to create a more decentralized solution to share your parkour spots.

Unfortunately osm.org does not support custom POI lists.

The german OSM community is hosting a Umap service, where you could create a custom POI map. (https://umap.openstreetmap.de/en/)

The map can then be shared and the POIs can be downloaded as gpx, kml or similar file. This file can then be imported into any Map Apps.

For the photos… If you get the permission to put these under a Creative Commons License, then you can upload them to Wikimedia. Then put the link into the description of the POIs in the Umap

Unfortunately most of the species tagged trees are mass imported and not mapped by a real mapper.

I try often to map species or genus but there is no good mobile app for this task yet.

And here is the chart to follow the progress:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree#chronology

We should see a saturation arround 3 trillion trees. (1)

You can easily help achivieving this goal by reworking natural=tree_row and adding single natural=tree into natural=wood areas :) I know, some say this is discouraged, but we really need to map EVERY TREE!

The person to the right?

Sometimes I even think about adding a Google Maps Link to POIs, because of Reviews. The reviews helping a lot to know what to expect from a POI before visiting them.

Thankfully there is no established tag yet.

The most annoying thing when adding POIs with Osmand for me is, that the POIs are disappearing when uploaded.

The POIs are only coming back after map update which takes couple of days or weeks.

That means its impossible fix an error on the new POI. Another editor needs to be used then. I use Vespucci in these cases.

How is the connection between OpenStreetMap POIs and Mangrove Reviews? How does a map user find the reviews for a specific POI?

I was checking out https://mangrove.reviews and it seems that it is using Name+GeoCoordinates to identify an POI.

@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?

While StreetComplete is very careful with the quests, my experience with SCEE was much worse. As an example, with current SCEE 58.2 the building color quest is still buggy. The brown, black and white choices are showing wrong colored illustrations.

Therefore SCEE is not a recommendation for me.

True! And the “Chronic” feature on www.openstreetmap.org is not really helpful for searching deleted nodes.

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

I recommend to use the changeset comment to be be used for this kind of plaintext information.

Unfortunately my experience with Organic Maps was, that the changeset comment cannot be changed. And for text put in the comment text field a new map note is created.

I hope that Organic Maps developer team will improve on this and will allow changeset comments.

Exactly, but please use the sport values like skateboard (not skate, not skateboarding) as they are already established for sport=*. (See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sport#values)

Maybe its even worth to use

sports:surfing=yes

sports:skateboard=yes

So then its more likely that we establish commonly used Tags in the sport shops and amenities.

I already contacted them, asked them to have a look on www.osm.org/copyright

Gerade gesehen, dass caramba bereits https://feddit.org/c/finanzen erstellt hat

Da die Mods von feddit.de/c/Finanzen kaum aktiv sind und reagieren befürworte ich die Gründung eines feddit.org/c/Finanzen

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, ist dafür ein neuer Account auf feddit.org notwendig? Oder kann man mit einem Account einer anderen Instanz ein /c/ auf feddit.org erstellen?
