@kilian Ja, echt krass was die Kombination aus OSM und Wikidata kann! Es gibt auch noch ein Thema auf #MapComplete dazu:
https://mapcomplete.org/etymology.html?z=12.1&lat=51.0454373720884&lon=13.751371595597448#

If you're on an osm-map (like ours) you can improve shop-information on https://streetcomplete.app , or https://www.mapcomplete.org or -if you have an account- on https://OSM.org

OSM maps are up to date because of nearly 1.6 million active people doing exactly these things.

Hey #Fulda,

am 21.12.25 findet das Jahresabschlussmapping statt 💪

Geplant ist wieder eine Stadttour mit #StreetComplete, #MapComplete , #Everydoor oder der App deiner Wahl, um fehlende Informationen in #OpenStreetMap einzutragen.

Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig!

Treffpunkt: Cinestar Fulda, 14:00 Uhr.

Stay mapped!

Coming to #MapComplete soon: fancy, animated traffic signals

Wink wink nudge nudge @openstreetmap @vespucci_editor @everydoor @osmapp …

Time to #GiveUpGitHub like #CoMaps, #MapComplete, and now #Dillo ! Libre software projects should be leading everyone to a freer world - not using proprietary platforms themselves!

When I started mapping ten years ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would still be doing it today and have made over a million changes.

Nowadays, I take the app with me everywhere I go, and there's always something to map. It's also surprising how many edits you can make on a kilometre of Panoramax or Mapillary. And Wikimedia also offers plenty of images that you can link.

Just get started

One category that is missing from #Mapcomplete is ‘repairs and construction’, since it is not unusual to find old houses being demolished, streets under repair or even cycle paths closed due to temporary changes... and it cannot be said that this is not essential.

@MapComplete

Una categoria que todavia no encuentro en MapComplete es la de "reparaciones y construccion", pues ya no es tan inusual encontrar viejas casas en demolicion, calles cerradas por renovacion o ciclovias cambiantes... y no son cuestiones que podamos decir que no sean relevantes

Gracias a mi trabajo, me toca recorrer muchas calles y barrios; y cada minuto libre que me deja en ese deambular lo uso para completar #OpenStreetMap

En muchos casos uso herramientas como #StreetComplete y #MapComplete, pero en la tarea de añadir direcciones me basta con #CoMaps

Lo curioso es que en #AndOSM pareciera como que las capacidades de edicion las hubieran quitado

@samwilson
Maybe a #MapComplete theme would help keep the focus while mapping in the field?

Por fin me decidi a probar #MapComplete

Y descubri que es un complemento indispensable para #StreetComplete

Mientras el primero ayuda a añadir lugares (como tiendas, espacios educativos, salidas de agua, alumbrado, etc), con el segundo podemos mejorar las caracteristicas del mismo como horarios, ancho de las vias, material, direcciones, etc

Con ambos se hace mucho mas facil mejorar, completar y perfeccionar los mapas de #openstreetmap

#OSM #Android

Acabo de instalarme #MapComplete y ya active mi cuenta de #OSM... haber si hoy la puedo usar para comenzar a añadir especialmente las camaras de videovigilancia que me encuentre por mis paseos

#android #openstreetmap #vigilancia #vigilandoALvigilante #NoMasNSA

Is there a #Mapcomplete profile that would easily allow me to add number of levels/floors to buildings? I tried creating a custom profile, but I couldn't even add buildings to it.

#OSM #Openstreetmap

Me peta la cabeza que todavía haya grandes zonas de Vigo sin edificios mapeados en #openstreetmap, sobre todo en el entorno de la estación de tren. Esos que veis los estoy añadiendo yo poco a poco #MapComplete

@ramuncho alors dans le même genre tu as aussi #mapcomplete https://mapcomplete.org/ qui permet de voir, modifier ou ajouter facilement un type de données en particulier.

Ils ont aussi une app mobile : https://app.mapcomplete.org/

Et aussi un compte ici : @MapComplete

Some ways you can protect your #privacy when contributing to #OpenStreetMap, starting with trivial steps and ending with extreme measures. (What’s your threat model?)

1. Don’t use your real name (or a pseudonym associated with you) as your display name.

   If you’re finding that out too late, make a new account instead of changing the display name. Optionally, delete the old account.

   Why not change the display name instead? Services like Who’s that? built on the OSM changeset metadata dump allow anyone to search for your account by name (including past names), and look through the history of display names associated with an account.

2. Avoid mapping near your home. I don’t really like this one, because an active mapper has the potential to utterly transform their neighborhood on OSM like nobody else can.

   Don’t treat your home preferentially - don’t make the mistake of mapping it first (like I did), and don’t map everything around your home except your home. Ideally, obscure your home by mapping your whole neighborhood (including your home) in a certain sequence (e.g. ordered by house numbers).

3. Avoid mobile mapping - map remotely instead. (Not good for restless #ADHD people like me. Why do you think I do 75% of my editing from Vespucci? 😅)

   This can be through aerial imagery, drone imagery, or geotagged photographs, so it doesn’t have to be less detailed than mobile mapping.

4. If mobile mapping, delay your uploads (so you aren’t broadcasting your current location) and, if your editor supports it, scramble your location history by uploading in a different order.

   1. #StreetComplete has an option to turn off automatic upload, allowing you to upload manually.

   2. #MapComplete has some privacy settings you should look at, but I couldn’t find any way to turn off automatic upload. pokes @MapComplete

   3. #CoMaps and #OrganicMaps kinda-sorta do this out of the box - your edits are uploaded when the app enters the background.

      In practice, this makes for a very unpredictable upload behavior and poor user experience. Users think their edits were uploaded, but when someone checks on osm.org, they find that nothing was uploaded. @CoMaps and @organicmaps - please implement manual upload instead 🙏

   4. In #OsmAnd, enable “Offline editing” in the OSM Editing plugin. You can batch your uploads by going to My Places - OSM Edits - tapping the upload button in the bottom-left corner - selecting some edits - tapping the upload icon in the top-right corner. (Thanks to @sahil for suggesting this.)

   5. In #Vespucci, you can selectively upload individual elements (select/multiselect, then overflow menu - “Upload elements”).

      You can also combine that with the “Search for objects” operation to upload all objects in a certain view. Unlock - overflow menu - “Search for objects” - type (new or modified or deleted) inview - overflow menu - “Upload elements”.

      I use this functionality all the time. (Thanks to @vespucci_editor for telling me about it.) The “Search for objects” field suggests past queries to you, so in practice this is faster than it sounds.

5. Obfuscate your identity via account shenanigans.

   • Share an account with a friend or two. (Thanks to @JauneBaguette for reminding me). Works better if you’re not editing together (in the same area) too often.

   • Use multiple OSM accounts, with random names. You could have an account per app, or an account per area you edit. You could also create throwaway accounts, deleting old accounts every so often.

     Each account needs a unique email address, so use an email provider that allows easy generation of throwaway email accounts.

   Oh, and OSM works just fine over #Tor, just so you know 🙂

@pvagner @openalt Awesome to have a talk about #MapComplete on #OpenAlt

#openalt @aikencz is talking about @MapComplete. let me see if I will learn something new. #osm #MapComplete

@aikencz @openalt This is AFAIk the first time a talk is done about #MapComplete that is not by @pietervdvn ...

Tak už je to tady - moje přednáška o @MapComplete je součástí programu #konference @openalt 🤩

@bestsoln We should move off #GoogleMaps…but not to #MapMyIndia.

The best map is made by the community and owned by the community - like #OpenStreetMap. The best software is transparent, monopoly-free, and respects the users’ software freedom - i.e. #FreedomRespecting / #libre / #opensource software, such as #CoMaps, #OsmAnd, #OsmAPP, #MapComplete, etc.

Instead of investing in yet another privately-owned platform, we should invest in the aforementioned.

MapMyIndia could have joined the hundreds of other companies who have built their maps atop #OSM data, allowing them to benefit from the collective investment and helping improve OSM for the rest of the world.
