Alright OSM fans, I have questions :blobhaj_plead:

• CoMaps vs Organic Maps and why?

• Is there anything that uses open street maps AND shows public transit directions?

#openstreetmap #openstreetmap_nl #openstreetmaps

Der heutige #Ausflug endete mit Waffel, einer Kugel Eis und einem Cappuccino.
Außerdem bin ich versorgt mit Gemüse und Obst für die Woche und im #Weltladen erstand ich Nudeln von befreitem Mafiagelände aus Italien.

Ein neuer #Friseur eröffnet bald in der #Innenstadt. Den konnte ich direkt in via #streetcomplete in #openstreetmaps eintragen.

Zwischendurch hat es angefangen zu nieseln. Kein Showstopper aber blöd.
War trotzdem schön an der Luft zu sein und das Ritual wurde gepflegt.

@daringfireball now is the time to get behind #OpenStreetMaps and Organic Maps.

My hiking mapping software GaiaGPS started to become enshitteified a few years ago and became unusable last year.

Apple started adding some of the hiking features to AppleMaps, but they have also already added some other features that are nearly as bad as GaiaGPS+Outside.

@organicmaps is a suitable replacement for GaiaGPS. They have a bit of work before they can replace AppleMaps, but the data is solid.

Van de week hadden we een discussie aan tafel, na het krijgen van de kandidatenlijsten, over het vermoeden dat de meeste SGP-kandidaten in de bible belt wonen. Het liet me niet echt los, dus gisteravond heb ik een paar uurtjes zitten klussen met data van de #Kiesraad en #OpenLayers / #OpenStreetMaps. Met dit tot nu toe als resultaat:

One of the things that I love about putting all my folk tale translations into a wiki is that I am also using this as an opportunity to remove another #Google service from my life.

My old interactive map was done with Google MyMaps:

https://sunkencastles.com/german-folklore-map/

My new interactive map (still a work in progress) is created dynamically by a combination of #MediaWiki with the #SemanticMediaWiki and Maps extensions, and displayed via the #Leaflet API (which uses #OpenStreetMaps ).

https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Main_Page

This gives me _far_ more flexibility in how to construct my interactive map - and it will give me the opportunity to dynamically create thematic maps, too!

Some progress processing the collected APs data from ESP32 as a companion for FlipperZero, right now able to draw some points, over a OpenStreetMaps, representing my route during the "WarWalking", to the grocery store.

Processed with the CSV stored at FlipperZero side and providing starting and ending latitude and longitude.

2. Streetcomplete and #Openstreetmaps

On the topic of #geolocation , there's another FOSS project that relies on community submissions to build a privacy preserving map

let's face it, Google Maps is the most solid, polished and convenient maps app out there, it offers detailed business listings, phone numbers, open hours, photos and reviews, Streetview (which OSM lacks), live traffic, routing algorithms with turn by turn navigation.. Etc.

But as it's the case with proprietary software, convenience comes at a cost, a cost that no one can afford, loss of privacy.

Most people fail to recognize how sensitive location data is, how it's used against them and how it can be abused in the future.

if I ask.. where were you on February 9, 2012, at 3 o'clock? you have no clue, you can't even remember what you had for dinner last night! me too :-) our brains can't recall events with time and location with such great precision, if you can.. you must be Charles Xavier from X-Men :-P

But you know who can remember? Google. the Ad company profiles individuals by tracking queries, routes, and interactions, it records your movements by a feature called location history which is turned on by default, even when you don't use the app, your movements are still logged, heck.. even if you turn off location history altogether, Google keeps on tracking you.. this should tell you how much valuable location data is for E-Corp, where you work or study, what you're planning to buy, where you go for entrainment.. etc. all used to create a profile so that the surveillance machine can target you with ads..

The brightside is that we don't have to use a surveillance tool like Google Maps, OrganicMaps is a free and open source software that respects your privacy, does not collect or transmit your location, search history, or usage data and it encourages you to use it offline by letting you know that you have to download maps for your area.

Organic Maps uses OpenStreeMaps which is also free software, but as I mentioned it's not as rich as Google Maps in terms of data. :-(

Which brings us to Streetcomplete, a FOSS android app designed to make contributing to OpenStreetMap easy. It's really like a real life game and I find it fun, It uses a simple question and answer interface to gather missing OpenStreeMaps details like: surface types of paths, opening hours of shops, speed limits.. etc

Submitted data will appear on OpenStreeMaps, so all users of apps like @organicmaps and @CoMaps can benefit from :-)

If you're interested in volunteering to help us make a #freedom map so we don't live our lives under the constant surveillance of #bigbrother Google, check out the following links:

#openstreetmaps + #fediverse for a Google Maps reviews alternative when?

@CoMaps I've been using this feature and I've edited and added many places here in my neighborhood and town.
Awesome work peeps, really good!!
Thank you and congratulations!!

Vous souhaitez rejoindre une vélorution ou un autre groupe de cycliste mais vous ne savez pas où est le peloton ?

Il existe une application open source et cross-platform nommée CriticalMaps pour ça : https://www.criticalmaps.net/

Cela peut-être utile pour ce dimanche 🚲🚲🚲

Have there been new maps based on #OpenStreetMaps appearing in #wikipedia articles lately or have I just been missing those up till now?

I now understand why I have struggled so much with any ap that uses Open Street Map. I just tried yet another ap, that makes it very easy to submit additions. So I tried to!

And....OSM literally *does not have categories* for the places I frequent, which is why I can never fuckin' find them on the damn aps. Know how frustrating it is to have to manually input every place you frequent? And know when you travel, you won't be able to find something?

Try searching "Cider Mill". Get absolutely fuck all except some street suggestions.

Try searching "Dog Training" and get sent to random countries that have enough letters matching for some street name somewhere.

Try looking up "Indian Food" and it recommends "Sunny Food Convince Store" and "Circle K" (a *gas station*) as the top two picks, despite knowing where three locations are within the map zoom I have set.

I know it's data as contributed, but talk about serious holes, because *if the category does not exist, then the location can't be added.* There is not even a catch-all, that then developers could create categories for as they see the ones that are missing. Hell, have a write-in option so developers don't have to guess at what something is.

People won't move off Google Maps or such, until there are actual working options that return actual locations that are being looked for, just sayin'.

I also find a severe lack of satellite layer on these aps, yet the base maps don't offer parking lots and entry/exits whatsoever. How am I supposed to see the parking situation? MANY people like knowing what they are getting into, or being able to see where in a strip mall their shop is, etc. So this is another huge gaping hole.

(Not to mention many don't work right in CarPlay, and I have yet to find *any* with #accessibility - specifically, unique vibration alerts for different turns and maneuvers)

Jotenkin kamalan sekava tuo OpenStreetMap-ohjeistus rakennustyömaiden merkitsemiseen. Yleensä OSM:iin ei merkitä työmaita, mutta ne voi laittaa sinne, mikäli ne kestävät vähintään yhdeksän kuukautta.

Huomasin, että CoMaps opastaa pyöräilemään edelleen Strömberginpuiston läpi, vaikka se on suljettu kaikelta liikenteeltä elokuuhun 2026 asti. Lisäsin sinne nyt portit oikeille paikoille ja muutin samalla kulkuväylien tageja. Toivon mukaan se riittää siihen, etteivät reitityssoftat opasta ihmisiä työmaalle.

Pues jugando un poco con las opciones de @streetcomplete , veo que parece que le estoy dando caña estos días.

Miro y me he puesto 1º en la clasificación de España 🏆 en los últimos 7 días y eso que aún tengo varias dudas de algunas cosas que no se como mapear*

Por ahora lo tengo configurado para priorizar las tareas de:

- Accesibilidad (pasos de peatones, bordillos, acceso a locales)
- Restaurantes con opciones veganas o vegetarianas

Aunque me estoy inflando a poner las calles de que están hechas y si están iluminadas y cuando voy con tiempo, papeleras, puntos de reciclajes, fuentes, arboles...

Os animo a mejorar vuestra ciudad que con esta aplicación es muy sencillo.

* Como una calle del mismo sentido con dos carriles con diferentes velocidades cada uno porque uno comparte con bicis y patines y es 30 y el normal 50.

Dejarse el #PokemonGO y jugar a esto :P :gaming_pokemon:

You don't need to be a developer to contribute to #opensource projects.

As an example, #OpenStreetMaps allows everyone to create an account add places and landmarks.

I couldn't find my favorite coffee shop, or the hairdresser I usually go to, so I added them myself so that they become available to anyone using the platform.

A maps app is only as good as the available stuff on it. It is in our hands to make these services better than the #bigtech alternatives
