Merci beaucoup pour cette documentation de ton process et des difficultés rencontrées, et très bonne idée d’avoir mis les photos pertinentes sur Commons !

Great story, thanks for sharing your experience! OSM is the power of being able to solve problems yourself, and that’s priceless (and map territories where the big companies have no commercial interest, but that’s another story 😉)!

So great to see new instances of Panoramax opening up, it’s also super to make photos more easily accessible. Great job!

This project is really amazing! I love the approach and the UI and UX questions you’re asking. I think your questions are very good and you’ve answered them in a great way.

Can’t wait to see the next improvements!

@MxxCon @Frans_S So I updated the gifs to correctly align them at the end.

@MxxCon you’ve right ! But it’s not the intention of this guide to deal with the correct positioning of buildings, imagery offsets (or not) or tags!

C’est super de voir des contributeurs français cartographier à l’international !

Bravo 👏 !

Thanks a lot for this guide Deane Kensok!

By the way, I tried to add imagery from Esri World Imagery Wayback on JOSM.
At first it didn’t work by adding on JOSM a WMTS feed. Finally, by clicking on add a TMS feed (with the same url) everything works fine.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for this instructive diary ! Good luck in Laos

Very cool to see all thoses stats, it helps to see which editor is popular which is creating more objects. I really appreciated to see corporate hashtags stats with heat map.

The same kind of stats (or more!) by country would be fantastic ;)

Thank you !

Thanks for this diary ! Very good to see people from Bhutan contributing to OSM !

Osm is a continent and a large community 😉

Okay but… what’s the license for this diary ? 😏

Very cool ideas ! There are really good vibes from https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3785 ! 😄

Great to see your motivation! Are you planning to include a map of the mapped area in future diaries (and why not a osm URL to the area)? (By pressing Ctrl+F5 you can see the map with the new buildings and changes you’ve made!)

Very good to see motivated mappers for under-mapped areas ! Good luck in your project in Albania :)

By the way, JOSM is a powerful tool, so perhaps you should see some videos on how it works ! (Spoiler: you need to be motivated to get the hang of it, but the payoff for a project of more than two weeks is truly positive ! )

I can explain it to you with my small level of English how to use JOSM, let me know if you’re interested !

I’m french, and for me amenity=bar is good !

Thanks for this image !

It’s so cool to see a beautiful story like yours! And you’re really right, in detail it’s much better than Pyongyang! It’s a beautiful piece of work, I’m blown away!

I’ve never really had the chance to work on addresses, and only very occasionally on POI shops. The result you’re showing is excellent in every way!

I’m glad to see that the zone method works for you too, although I have to admit that I’m surprised by your successive layer method, I have to say that I didn’t have the same problems as you! Even though, looking back, I realise that I do things a bit like you do, in two layers: I’ve done all the buildings and roads, now I’m going to add the street lamps, trees, grass areas and sidewalk footways. But I still use (more or less) my zone method.

In any case, I think I’d still use it for Ashgabat :D. Guess where I’ve mapped where I haven’t yet :D osm.org/#map=16/37.9514/58.3588 I didn’t start Ashgabat long ago but I’m planning to get serious about it soon!

Hi, it’s great to have this kind of testimonial :) I don’t contribute where I live (or just a little), but I have to admit that I pay a lot more attention to the details of the street furniture in my town. It’s funny to see that it’s a bit the same for you too!

For photos, there’s Wikimedia Commons, but it’s not really a place to put photos of every single electrical cabinet in a town, although you could put famous buildings in your town there!

In my opinion, the most important thing is to enjoy mapping, and I think you’ve got that feeling, which is great :D It’s perfectly possible to do without high-level strategy vision on an individual scale, and fortunately so !
