Hi OSM Community,
Today I added the location of our custom packaging workspace to the map to help local businesses and delivery services find us more easily. We specialize in producing eco-friendly and custom packaging solutions for food, retail, and cosmetic industries in the UK.
OpenStreetMap has been a great tool for navigating and contributing to local visibility. Mapping our business here also helps others discover nearby services and suppliers more efficiently.
If you’re ever searching for sustainable sandwich boxes, earring packaging, or cardboard containers, we’re here to help — and now easier to find on the map!
Looking forward to making more contributions to the platform soon.
Thanks, Custom Boxes UK

분리수거함 위에 지붕이 있는 경우는 어떻게 편집해야 하나요? https://ifh.cc/v-bFfdNa 여러 재질에 따른 분리수거함들과 그 위에 지붕이 있습니다. 일단은 저는 분리수거함 유형의 점을 만들고 지붕 크기만큼 지붕을 그렸습니다. (다음 지도는 본인이 직접 찍은 사진안 분리수거함의 위치입니다. 분리수거함과 지붕 옆에도 초록색 대형 일반쓰레기 수거함이 있습니다)
F4 map에서는 지붕 모양 hipped-and-gabled가 mansard로 표현됩니다. 왜 그런 건가요? F4 map에서 경복궁 대다수의 지붕 모양이 실제로 OSM에서 태그된 hipped-and-gabled가 아닙니다. 때문에 중국 자금성의 지붕 모양은 hipped-and-gabled가 아니라 지붕의 모양의 조각들을 따로따로 생성한 것 같습니다.
There has been a recent surge of interest in mapping walking infrastructure in Melbourne. This is very exciting because many parts have been lacking for a long time.
I have been adding some things piecemeal over the years. Recently I have made a more concerted effort to get footpath and crossing data into the Map. Several other users have been doing a huge amount to make this happen.
Here I wanted to briefly share a summary of my approach to mapping these footpaths and crossings. As is custom for OSM, this is not prescriptive at all; just a description of how I am approaching this task. It is based on consistency of edits and consistency with existing and new data.
Footpaths
highway=footway
footway=sidewalk
I am also including the surface where known. Most footpaths are built of concrete, especially in older suburbs. The next most common would be asphalt, but there are still some unpaved footpaths - even in built-up areas. I think this is important to include for accessibility and route planning.
surface=concrete
One important aspect here is that I am mapping footpath ways separately to the crossing ways. Which brings us to…
Crossings
highway=crossing
crossing=*
crossing:island=*
crossing:markings=*
Here is an example of a simple T-intersection that shows my general approach to mapping ways for footpaths and crossings separately.

タスポが使えるたばこ自販機はauthentication:taspo=yes
とタグ付けしてみることにしました。運転免許証、マイナンバーカード、パスポートで年齢確認をする自販機はそれぞれauthentication:JP:driving_licence=yes
, authentication:JP:individual_number_card=yes
, authentication:passport=yes
としてみます。
日本人への通じやすさの点でauthentication:JP:my_number_card=yes
とも迷いましたが、どうも次期デザインのカードでは「マイナンバーカード」の愛称を使うのを止めるかもという話もでていますので。
In Japan, when you buy tobaccos from a vending machine, you first have to prove that you are 20+ years old. Since 2008, The Japan Tobacconist Federation has been issuing “taspo” smart cards to adult smokers. You can apply these cards to cigarettes vending machines to activate them. Back in 2008, 97% of the vending machines supported taspo for age verification.
Due to technical limitations, taspo system was announced to be shut down in March, 2026, and some vending machines are now retrofitted with new age verification modules that accept a driver’s license card, “My Number Card” (which is officially called Individual Number Card in English), and/or passports (ref: list of government-recognized age verification modules for cigarettes vending machines).
I started to tag taspo-compatible vending machines with authentication:taspo=yes
, and those with the other verification methods with authentication:JP:driving_licence=yes
, authentication:JP:individual_number_card=yes
, or authentication:passport=yes
, respectively.
I added another set of buildings on Hamel Street and Garland Street. Had to also fix some naming issues on Hamel Street
A collection/showcase of the different buildings and areas that I have mapped in 3D (through much trial and error). Each location has a link to view on OSM where you can see what building parts and tagging I’ve used to represent these buildings. The heights I have tagged on building parts are mainly calculated by working out the ratio of a building’s height and width in a photo (I used paint.net to measure these dimensions in pixels) and applying this to the width that can be measured from aerial imagery.

Depuis 2019 que je suis sur OSM, mais depuis 2023 que je contribue activement ici.
Je suis actuellement diplôme de Licence Pro Eco-Tourisme & d’un BTSa DATR (Développement & Animation des Territoires Ruraux). A la fois passionné d’Histoire et particulièrement sensible aux questions environnementales, je suis toujours à l’affut des nouvelles solutions open source, comme Panoramax.
Aime le théâtre & les Jeux de Rôles (dont je n’en fais pas assez) et philosopher.

I added several more houses sheds and garages to the Happy Valley Goose Bay area. I think that i will try to add more to other areas shortly, and speed up my time to a street a day so that I can start on other communities sooner.
Recently Malaga’s bus route number 37 was extended to Residencia Santa Clara in the hills outside the city. This part of the route had been suspended for a few years, and I knew that some stops had been relocated in the meantime. So I took the bus to the last stop to update the mapping in OpenStreetMap.
As I walked back towards the city down a steeply sloping road (pausing to tag it as sidewalk=no
), I wondered if I had just visited the city’s highest bus stop. I could probably have confirmed this fairly quickly with the help of a relief map - there were only a few realistic candidates.
But I happened to be looking at the OSMnx Python package for unrelated reasons. And I had already downloaded Digital Terrain Model files covering the city of Malaga. Obviously destiny wanted me to take a library intended for analysing important questions about urban road networks, and use it to devise an over-engineered answer to my trivial question about bus stops.

Mapování není jen technická činnost, nebo odreagování pro ajťáky. V čím dál složitějším světě, kde informace často přicházejí odněkud a rychle mizí, je mapování tichým, ale vytrvalým způsobem, jak udržet racionální vztah ke krajině, ve které žijeme. Jak podpořit občanskou společnost konkrétním a užitečným příspěvkem.
Za poslední roky si potvrzuji, že mapy nejsou jen statickým záznamem reality, ale živou součástí mojí a společné přítomnosti. Jsou nástrojem paměti, sdílení i plánování rozvoje. Komerční mapové aplikace sice umožní najít nejbližší kavárnu, nebo trasu na výlet, ale zůstávají méně pozorné k jiným pozoruhodným místům: třeba alejím původních ovocných stromů, zamokřeným loukám plným života, opuštěným stavbám s potenciálem obnovy, skládkám odpadu, nebo lesním cestám, které vznikly po kalamitě. A právě tady vstupuje do hry open-source mapování – veřejně dostupné, komunitně vytvářené mapy, jako je OpenStreetMap, které odhalují, co zaostření na byznys spíše nevidí.
Jednou ze základních vlastností mapování je, že nikdy nekončí. Krajina se mění – vlivem nových staveb, rekonstrukcí, ale také postupným zarůstáním, erozí půdy, nebo prostě tím, že lidé začnou chodit jinudy. Dokumentovat tyto proměny znamená dokumentovat náš společný život. Pro mne důležité je to u veřejných projektů, které často vznikají s vizí dlouhodobého účinku. Zatímco stavby ve městech bývají v pozornosti tím více, čím je patrnější jejich ekonomický účel, tak krajinné prvky – jako geoparky, památné stromy, říční nivy nebo zaniklé povrchové doly – nesou jinou kvalitu kulturní paměťi místa. Mapováním jim dáváme šanci být viděny a sdíleny.
