Alegiako etxeen izenen zerrenda gaurkotua izan da hainbat herritarrek egindako ekarpenak direla eta. Hemen duzue etxeen izenekin egindako azken aurkezpen dokumentua. Openstrretmap-en ere gaurkotuak izan dira. Beraz, edonork ikus dezake zerrenda gaurkotua ondoko dokumentuan eta baita ere openstreetmap-en.

I took a bicycle ride through a suburban area at the edge of town where #OpenStreetMap has very poor metadata coverage. It got me lots of Internet Points™, but I can never shake the feeling of looking extremely suspicious when rolling slowly down a residential street, children playing in every garden, peering into each driveway and poking at #StreetComplete on my handlebar-mounted phone after every house.

13/ One final bonus toot - we would be remiss not to mention the absolutely thriving Indonesian #OpenStreetMap community (their local organisation is known in Indonesian as "Perkumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia" which yields the delightful abbreviation "POI").

Sadly they don't seem to be active on the fediverse 😞

Check them out, get involved:

Went for a long run today through the center and then along the Bristol to Bath cycle path. Did loads of mapping with #streetcomplete for #openstreetmap and added just under 500 thing to the map.

Ich weiss ja vom @schenklklopfer dass man bei #Openstreetmap Datenpflege/Korrektur betreiben kann, dass es aber mit den Apps every door und streetcomplete lächerlich einfach ist, wusste ich nicht 🙈

If you want to help contribute to @openstreetmap then streetcomplete.app/ is the perfect companion on #Android to do this!

The app finds missing map data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as quests. Solve each quest by visiting the location on-site and answering a simple question to update the map.

Whilst my son was in his 40 minute swimming lesson I went and done some nearby #OpenStreetMap mapping (primarily house numbers) and got back just before he came out with near perfect timing.

Ja, es war ein besonderer Tag. Überraschend für mich war das viele Schaukeln, vom Boden aus sehen die Zeppeline immer so erhaben ruhig aus. Durch das viele Knipsen wurde es mir sogar zeitweise übel.

Unmengen Luftaufnahmen, viele mit großem Häusermeer. Da möchte man natürlich mit #OpenStreetMap vergleichen.

This is my 3rd or 4th "serious" incident since I started contributing to #OpenStreetMap in 2016.

The others were -

1. A lawyer-type in the posh neighborhood of Ādarsh Nagar. All he did after loudly arguing with me was to call the frail and aged colony guard to remove me...the latter wasn't about to pick a fight with me, so I was still able to complete my survey in that street. 😅

And remember to regularly contribute to #OpenStreetMap / #OSM throughout the year to optimise the probability of your fellow citizens locating a sausage on democracy day thanks to democracysausage.org

This is no laughing matter and we should not leave any of it to chance.

Thank you for your service.

A solid 24-hour sprint later -- I had to wrangle data from tables in PDFs to get a solid baseline to work with (#csv here: pastebin.com/JGLxQMbT) -- and I've got all of the polling stations for tomorrow's #election in Tarrant county mapped out in #osm #OpenStreetMap :D

overpass-turbo.eu/s/23ok

I experimented a bit within the polling_station:* namespace. Thinking I might be settling into a pattern, at least for #Texas. I dunno if I want to build up explicit relations between polling places and their (typical) associated buildings/areas or not. So for now, I chucked the relation data in a tag instead.

Ideally, future elections won't be such a pain to get bootstrapped; most polling stations tend to stay the same across elections.

#Tarrant #TarrantCo #dfw #FortWorth #gis #OverpassTurbo

A map showing 160 different polling places spread out across Tarrant county, Texas (includes Fort Worth). The map is rendered with Leaflet, and at this zoom level, is definitely overcrowded.

Показали в одном чате как умельцы с помощью cheerpj.com затащили Minecraft и IntelliJ IDEA в браузер. Указываешь .jar, подключаешь либу и готово. Конечно же работает через #WASM.

И конечно же я попробовал затащить редактор #OpenStreetMap написанный на Java (JOSM). TLDR; Оно работает! [1] Но есть нюансы:

- Заявляется поддержка Java 8 и 11. На практике JOSM, собранный под Java 11 через него не запустить. То из недр Files.сreateTempFile вылетает что-то, то из библиотек. Удалось допатчить до отсутствия исключений, однако интерфейс так и не появился.

- Пришлось брать последнюю версию JOSM для Java 8 и черри-пикать критичные коммиты (слава Open Source за эту возможность).

- CORS. Если это важно, то либо отключать расширениями [2], либо настраивать их проксю. Прокся также нужна будет, если приложение ходит по UDP.

- Cheerpj — продукт коммерческий, но бесплатен для личного использования. Однако у них есть открытые проекты для запуска бинарей [3]

Если у вас завалялись Java-апплеты, то можете их воскресить :)

@ticho That's kind of why I was afraid of sharing this story - the last thing I want is for people to be turned away from contributing to #OpenStreetMap.

I'm absolutely not stopping surveying. Not ever. Not even in poor areas, which are often unplanned and thus need good maps the most. I'm also looking into bringing some friends along to have a dialogue with That Man, to get him to understand my work and clear my name with the locals.

Kreuzpeilung mit dem Smartphone-Kompass in OSMTracker war erstaunlich genau; bei einem Mast hatte ich eine dritte Peilung und die lag nur etwa 2 Meter neben dem Schnittpunkt der anderen beiden.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to share this story with the world, but here we go.

On the 1st of May, I was beaten up by a crowd while I was out on an #OpenStreetMap survey in Mandāwali, #Delhi, #India.

last week #zbush — this week the same technique as a cloud-native spatial index 🔥

github.com/daniel-j-h/zindex

hey #Mapstodon #OpenStreetMap #Geo what if we could use a single remote file as a cloud-native spatial index: With a Z-Curve and the BIGMIN optimization i haz it 😍

more context here: openstreetmap.org/user/daniel-

help me test and refine it? 🌍
