@openstreetmap

@openstreetmap Is there any documentation on mapping individual small plants like flowers or cacti?
I'd like to start mapping botanical gardens but cannot find any information on this.

Hi is there some project, instructions or some github repo for converting 360° video and GPX file to something like street view?

I would like to map this way local cycling routes.

I have recently got into mapping traffic signs and speed limits where I can, but I realised I don't know what to do when mapping differing speed limit signs that are offset from each other. It's a transition from a 50km/h zone to a 60km/h zone but the signs are offset by 65m, making a sort of "no-mans land" in-between. I plan to map it with the in-between zone tagged with separate maxspeed:forward and maxspeed:backward tags. I assume it should be done this way because as a driver on the ground I would follow the speed limit signs on my side of the road as I passed them, having no knowledge of the reverse sign.

I guess I'm wondering if this is a logical way to map this?

was ist denn heute mit #Openstreetmap los? Läd das nur bei mir nicht bzw. nicht richtig?

What's going on with #Openstreetmap today? Is it just me that it's not loading or not loading properly?

I've tried Magic Earth a handful of times, but each time I dumped it because it marked a street as closed or wrong-way, creating a circuitous detour. There's no such issue in OSM; it simply hallucinated something.

I was testing it so I knew where I was going, but I'm reluctant to rely on it when I really need nav. Have I been supremely unlucky?

I just started "playing" Street Complete and noticed there was no way to add stuff like new bemches amd trash cans to the map. I found the "create note" feature and started using that for this purpose.

Before I continue like thisI just wamted to check with you guys and see; Am I doing this right?

I made some note about a new trash can, some new bench and some new stairs.

Do you only contribute what is useful for your own use cases, or whatever you can improve the map with?

I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

For some reason despite not owning one I have alot of interaction with Canal Boaters.

They are always interested in information about places and services along canals and I was trying to think of the best way of explaining how the contribute and use Openstreetmap

Of course contributing is easy - I just recommend mapcomplete.org, everydoor app, and street complete (less so as its road related)

And then I recommend an App like OSMAnd to use Openstreetmap - But for Canal Boaters specifically - Is there any way they could use layers or searches, any tips, tricks or Apps specifically get information that would be useful for them or be useful if in a canal boat?

Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.

In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?

The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.

How about this one?

The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?

Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.

My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?

This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?

Thanks very much for any help you have!

is there a routing app/ service for canoes?

Edit: I ended up using brouter or osmand depending on the task.

Edit: Viewing and editing functionality seem to be restored.

I need some help @openstreetmap.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the help!

What do I do, if a business has closed down, and then a new business has taken over the same place?

Do I mark the previous business as “does not exist” and add the new one, or do I edit the existing one?

it's a bit rough in the ui/ux department and requires a google account but i had fun testing it today. you walk around to "produce" badges, which you can then "drop" wherever you are to make claims on map quadrants

I'm adding a business that is primarily for surfing and also has some skateboard accessories. Can I use multiple tags to designate this?

"shop=surf;skate"

Would that work? On the OSM wiki it says under cuisine you can use multiple tags but I don't see anything saying if it's proper to do that with a key for shop.

Blitzer.de Pro App is the bestseller App in German Play Store. The Update now features OpenStreetMap Slippy Map to show crowdsourced speed cameras, constructions, road closures and traffic jams. The App even has an OpenStreetMap based Navigation System.

1 Million people in Germany can now see and use OpenStreetMap Data in their App. This is a huge success and a breakthrough for OpenStreetMap adaption.

Unfortunately the app does not mention the Copyright yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Edit: Imagine Google streetview for OpenStreetMap, this is Panoramax. https://panoramax.fr/ https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Panoramax

The free alternative to photo-mapping territories Panoramax is a digital resource for sharing and exploiting field photos. Anyone can take photographs of places visible from the public highway and contribute them to the Panoramax database. This data is then freely accessible and reusable by all.

During State of Panoramax panel at State of the Map France 2024, they announced a alpha/beta version for Android Panoramax application. Apk for android is available with the link and will be published on PlayStore and F-Droid. iOS users don't worry a version will be available too.
