Most of our mapping parties, if not all, start with a brief introduction. The newbies are informed about the various benefits of using and contributing to OpenStreetMap, such as massive improvements to the individual’s privacy and an easy mechanism to correct data.

However, I have been wondering if this approach is the optimal path. This doubt started nagging me after I picked up The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen. If class distinctions are really so pervasive as theorized in the book, shouldn’t we try to incorporate these findings in our promotion of OSM in mapping parties and everywhere else?

A clear description of the context would be in order. Though our existing method of extolling the benefits of OSM is good, I don’t think it is the best one for India. India has, unfortunately, one of the lowest proportion of people contributing to social activities. In conversation with my friends, I often find them considering the idea of “doing something for free” repugnant. Maybe its due to the oppressive nature of the Indian classes, where people’s aspirations are mostly reduced to the singular objective of rising above their current class. Whatever is the reason, we can at least conclude that the current system of promoting OSM is unsatisfactory in the context of India.

We can, for instance, try to frame OSM as a hobby and actively compare the intensity of mapping activity with other mappers (say, by focusing on the heat map that is displayed on the OSM profile page). Setting aside the moral considerations this entails, I believe this approach is likely to bring some interesting results. People may or may not be excited by the idea of increasing their reputation by performing conspicuous leisure in the form of contributions. However, it must be tested on field before we derive any conclusions.

Journal de contributeur – Relevés lampadaires à Jassans-Riottier (Avril – Août 2025)

Depuis avril 2025, j’ai entrepris un travail de terrain minutieux pour cartographier les lampadaires dans la commune de Jassans-Riottier (01). Mon objectif principal : relever les numéros de référence (ref) visibles sur place et les intégrer dans OpenStreetMap.

Chiffres clés

1 253 lampadaires présents dans OSM sur la zone

835 lampadaires référencés avec un ref visible

418 lampadaires sans ref dans OSM (lampadaires non numérotés ou refs absentes)

Numérotation maximale terrain connue : 1 357 lampadaires

Environ 100 lampadaires à cartographier encore pour atteindre la numérotation maximale

Méthode

Relevés terrain par secteur, avec photos et vérification

Comparaison des données OSM, Overpass, et numérisations communales

Gestion des cas particuliers (lampadaires remplacés, refs effacées, numérotation partielle)

Mises à jour régulières sur OSM

Résultats

Ce travail améliore significativement la qualité des données d’éclairage public sur OSM dans la région, facilitant la maintenance et le suivi des infrastructures. Cela contribue aussi à la précision des cartes et des services dépendants de ces données.

À venir

Finalisation des relevés à Jassans-Riottier prévue pour fin octobre 2025

Compléter la numérotation sur les lampadaires sans ref

Who am I ?

I have been retired since 2020 after a long career in networking and IT security.

Since then, I’ve spent my time walking (nothing too ambitious: no mountains, but still around 2,000 km per year) and doing math (a lifelong hobby, mainly algebra focused on functional equations).

I discovered OSM very recently (spring 2025) when switching from Windows to Linux MINT and trying out my first smartphone with LineageOS (a de-Googled Android).

what follows is of course only my personal opinion

At first, I thought it was just a freely editable map application, before realizing that it is in fact:

  • a global geospatial database with open contributions, listing and exposing only data that is free of rights, under the most permissive licenses possible.
  • a vast open-source application ecosystem leveraging this geospatial database for a wide variety of uses:

    • to contribute or make smart, efficient, even fun use of it.

      • Tools I’ve looked at and used: Id, JOSM, OsmTracker, Osmose, StreetComplete, taginfo, overpass, panoramax, NSI
      • Tools I’ve only skimmed so far: MapRoulette, Mon Commerce OSM, Libre Charge Map, H.O.T.
    • to use the database for various purposes aimed at diverse audiences:

      • The one that led me to OSM: OsmAnd, then leaflet and uMap
      • Also cartes.app, and a bunch of hiking and cycling apps that I’ve only briefly glimpsed.
  • and of course, a set of proprietary applications built on the OSM database (not always with proper attribution, by the way)

So I created an account, joined OpenStreetMapFrance (not mandatory), and tried to understand enough of the principles, limitations, and recommendations to contribute effectively.

I’m now a regular reader of the WIKI and the forum (even though I sometimes struggle to follow whole conversations – such as those about hiking route relations, linear or networked…).

Kex Gill, west of Harrogate

Kex Gill (humorously named the “Côte de Blubberhouses” for a stage of the 2014 Tour de France) is a road in Yorkshire between Harrogate and Skipton. Part of it is gradually sliding down the valley that it is built half-way up the side of and is being rebuilt; it was the access tags on bridleways there that caught my eye in the first place.

The twenty-fourth development diary marks the most significant milestone in OpenStreetMap-NG’s journey to date: the launch of our public test instance. After months of intensive development, we’re finally excited to show it all off! This isn’t just a technical achievement—it’s a pivotal moment in our mission to revolutionize open-source mapping.

🛈 This initiative is not affiliated with the OpenStreetMap Foundation.


Public Test Instance Launch 🚀

OpenStreetMap-NG is now live for public testing at osm.ng. This milestone represents months of intensive development, optimization, and preparation to create a stable testing environment for the community. Every mapper, developer, and OpenStreetMap enthusiast can now experience what we’ve been envisioning as the next generation of mapping platforms.

The test environment runs completely independently from the main OpenStreetMap infrastructure. It features the complete OpenStreetMap dataset while providing a safe playground for experimentation and feedback. You can explore all the functionality without worrying about affecting live data—perfect for giving the platform a thorough evaluation.

Liftoff! We have a liftoff, 32 minutes past the hour. Liftoff on Apollo 11.

OpenStreetMap went viral! Well, sort of.

Screenshot of video described below

A recent Instagram video highlighted an area where Pokémon Go had better trail coverage than Google Maps. You can see for yourself:

Original Instagram Post

OSM Town Mastodon Mirror

Currently, the video has over 12.6 million views and 733 thousand likes!

As you probably know, Pokémon Go uses OSM for its map data. So it’s cool seeing it acknowledged that OSM data performed better, even if it was misguided as a compliment towards Pokémon Go/Niantic.

With a little bit of searching, I found the path that they were on: Way #518694188. Added 8 years ago by BikeRoad.

Hallo,

ich konnte nichts finden und habe auch noch keine gute Idee wie man das hier mappt:

https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=53.099685400002016&lng=11.111625099998037&z=17&mapStyle=Mapillary+light&pKey=430649206064710&focus=photo

Wer kann helfen?
