Version 0.121 and 0.124 were published!

The schedule was moved to a new tab. For festivals with multiple days and stages it is now displayed more clearly. Each day now has its own tab.

Home location can now be set using text search provided by #Nominatim

Overall performance improovements for adding and updating events. This will save your time and takes some load from the #MusicBrainz servers.

Some bugs regarding planned and seen markers were fixed.

Gestern herausgefunden das #nominatim gar nicht das ist, was ich brauche, sondern #overpass-api na dann bauen wir das doch mal auf. Mal sehen wie lange es dauert.

In case you missed it last week, here’s the first of a series of in-depth interviews from the first cohort of the Sovereign Tech Fellowship. Open source maintainer Sarah Hoffmann loves to discover beautiful places in real life – and in code. Discover Sarah's journey in open source, learn about #Nominatim & other technologies she works on, the challenges she faces, & her experiences working with an international volunteer community.

@amapanda This is something I would also like to have in #Nominatim
Searching for stuff with a small Levenshtein distance in addition to exact matches.

We used #Photon and #Nominatim #geocoding services to convert the textual place names into geographical locations and aggregated them on the #NUTS and #LAU levels to support usability of our data.

Geocoding the data was not simple. Many place names were entered into the Erasmus+ database manually resulting in diverse place names containing national spellings, typographical mistakes, character encoding errors, and national scripts, which required manual corrections.

Неблокирующий вызов внешнего сервиса в процессе

Довольно часто из процесса приходится обращаться по API к различным внешним сервисам. По сути, это стандартный сценарий оркестрации систем или даже микросервисов (пардон за модное слово). На BPMN диаграмме это выглядит просто и логично – постучались куда-то по API, получили ответ и перешли к следующей задаче. Для моделей аналитического уровня это нормально. Однако, переходя к исполняемой модели, надо учитывать, что внешний сервис может быть недоступен или просто отвечает очень небыстро. Что происходит с процессом в это время?

deploy #nominatim takes a lot of time

I'm so proud of this search.

The server is running django, maps and geocoding are selfhosted based on OSM data (#Versatiles and #Nominatim). BTW: These are real animals searching for a loving home

#AnyMapPuzzle is inspired by @seav's OSM 15 Puzzle, which uses @openstreetmap tiles to create puzzles. But
#AnyMapPuzzle goes further by using the #Nominatim API to locate any named place in the world, and also adds other map styles and grid sizes https://en.osm.town/@seav/113284049247157870

For example, when looking for the repair of my mum’s cooker, my first step was to look for it on mapy.cz, where I got the answer immediately. I wouldn’t dare to look on osm.org (actually, it wouldn’t work, because #Nominatim doesn’t look through descriptions).

Индекс твоего города — обновление

Накопилось немного обновлений для city-indexes.online , которые уже давно доступны (тем кто возможно пользуется сайтом), но время рассказать появилось только сейчас.

Handy tip for #Nominatim: not only you can instruct to search preferably in one country but typing the 2-letter top-level-domain is allowed. A time-saver.

@marews Just search in openstreetmap for "bookcases in ..." and you will find them in your city. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Bookcases%20in%20seattle#map=19/47.611076/-122.328450

Friendica: Verlinkte Umgebung

Ich habe ja bei mir als Standort die Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar stehen. Eben ist mir aufgefallen das daraus ein Link geworden ist, keine Ahnung seit wann Friendica das hat. Und ja die verlinkte Webseite zeigt das schon recht passend:

#Friendica #Fediverse #Standort #Metropolregion-Rhein-Neckar #Nominatim #OSM #2024-10-27 @heidelberg @metropolregionrheinneckar

@mxfraud OK, this might take a few iterations.

One thing I sometimes do is to take this kind of posts and wonder: "Is it on #OpenStreetMap?" Most of the time the answer is yes.

But not this time. So I took the second picture and searched for the address. But #nominatim does not handle typos very well. The street is called "Rue de Montreuil", with a single "L". https://monsieurdameparis.fr/fr/contact says it's actually on the 76, and the pin in their map is on the pair side, so the site must be right.

Not one but TWO new blog posts hot off the press: #Geocoding with #Django and Area Search
Part 1: Setting up #Nominatim for Geocoding: https://hyteck.de/post/geocoding-with-nominatim/
Part 2: Using a geocoding service to do area search in Django: https://hyteck.de/post/django-geocoding/

In the end you get something like

location = Location.get_location_from_string("Berlin")
print(location)
# Berlin, Deutschland (52.51, 13.38)

and you can do

calculate_distance_between_coordinates((49.974, 9.149), (52.517, 13.388))
# 408.57 km

Hopefully it'll help someone wanting to do the same stuff - at least future me 😅

@laund @foxy that's exactly what #nominatim is: a georeferencer, meaning it converts coords to addresses and vice versa. What people expect is something like what you can find in #OsmAnd or #OrganicMaps o gmaps, which is understandable, but it's not that.

And that is the main theme of @OSM's site. It provides a maps that is not 100% for users, not a 100% for mappers. 'Search' is really georeferencing, and in that case it works as perfectly as the data is.

@foxy I always hear arguing how #Nominatim #OpenStreetMap is poor/lacking of features. Have you checked who are the main contributors https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/graphs/contributors?from=2020-07-02&to=2022-04-01&type=c ? Mainly by Sarah #lonvia I wonder if any developer would join the project

GitHub - osm-search/Nominatim-Data-Analyser: QA Tool for Nominatim. Helps to improve the OpenStreetMap data quality and therefore the Nominatim search results. https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim-Data-Analyser #OpenStreetMap #Nominatim #analyzer #search #data #qa

@simon @guerda vielen dank auch für den tip. habs jetzt erstmal doch mit #nominatim gemacht weil mich interessiert derzeit nur api...
