Is https://mapcomplete.org (esp https://mapcomplete.org/waste) something that would fit your workflow? That uploads to our panormax-instance without a hassle

I’ve also did quite some research and tagging work on accessible wheelchair toilets: osm.wiki/Wheelchair_accessible_toilets

@Malle_Yeno,

Actually, I see accessibility as a routing problem. If one maps all the indoor corridors, the elevators, the stairs, the doors, … with their respective properties, a user can ask a (still to be created) routeplanner to give them an accessible route. This way, they can get a route (or “no route possible”) for their specific usecase; could also be reused for moms with strollers, people with bicycles in e.g. train stations, …

In my opinion, adding wheelchair=yes/no/limited is not very useful. It gives some indication, but actually measuring is more valuable - especially cause there is a huge difference in the range of abilities of wheelchair users (e.g. a young, strong person in a wheelchair who has the arm power to get over e.g. 10cm high kerbs vs an old person in an electric scooter, for which even 5cm is an insurmountable problem).

With https://mapcomplete.org/onwheels, I’ve tackled this problem by adding the individual (indoor) doors; it is up to the data consumer to figure out afterwards what doors are suitable to them and which are not.

@Strubble: correct, it lives on a dynamic IP but I forgot to config the dynDNS. Oopsie…

It should be back online

Very interesting!

A few remarks and questions:

• First of all, how do you fend of the criticism that “this data shouldn’t be publicly available, as Russia/terrorists/people with bad intentions might attack the power infrastructure”? In my opinion, those bad actors will do their own research anyway
• You’re also welcome to test https://MapComplete.org - one can make a custom layer showing OSM data and asking questions. It is partly inspired on StreetComplete, but focuses on one topic at a time. You can build such a layer yourself on https://mapcomplete.org/studio
• There is a typo (“OpenStretMap”)

1. Federation takes some time. Ask in the panoramax char how long. Same for updating the map tiles.
2. It depends on a few factors which geolocation is assigned, this is still something that is in development. See the issue tracker for more info.
3. There are about 40K images now. The hetzner instance has 160GB capacity IIRC. I think 150K images is doavle, but Thibault does the hosting.

Hey @Binnette,

That is a supercute and superfun theme. I’ve had some inquiries about this before and why this will never be an official theme: https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/issues/1499

Jup, I see the checkmark on your profile too now!

Yeah, I read the Weekly too and saw that they mentioned this.

Your profile on OSM has a correct link. Your mastodon profile is linked correctly to. To force Mastodon to validate again, change something about your fields in Mastodon and you’ll get your green checkmark too.

It started as OpenSTREETMap, but IMHO it is time to rename it to OpenWORLDMap or something ;)

And the rules to add something are simple: it has to be verifiable and somewhat permanent. If wetlands and landuse are important to you, by all means, add it to the map!

Yup, it worked. I can see your green checkmark, you are verified on Mastodon.

If you make an edit with https://mapcomplete.org, then https://en.osm.town/@mapcomplete_edits will tag you ;)

@Doofus Magoo: I was a bit distracted while writing this; I’ve updated the second sentence and it should be clear now.

Hi!

MapComplete has a map specifically for memorials and graves: https://mapcomplete.org/memorials?z=20.5&lat=36.73385535560722&lon=-4.418261565135936

You can take it out in the field to add graves directly

They can be seen on https://mapcomplete.org/clock?z=13.5&lat=36.721846219139195&lon=-4.422204455433302#

I might make some changes to this map to better support sundials

Tbf, for some usecases (e.g. the *Complete-editors) it allows to avoid many changesets

A changeset is opened by sending some metadata to the server (e.g. contributor ID, editor, comment, …).

Then, one or more ‘changeset XML’-files can be uploaded.

Then, the changeset is closed if:

• the editing program sends a ‘close changeset’-signal
• one hour after the last upload of a changeset XML OR
• 24 hours after the changeset is opened (but I wouldn’t be surprised if one changeset pops up that seems to be longer then 24hours, either by a bug or by some timezone shenanigans)

https://mapcomplete.org (which I develop) exploits this behaviour by not closing a changeset and by trying to reuse a changeset as much as possible.

JOSM is not a beginners tool - far from it.

There are other tools out there, try e.g. https://mapcomplete.org
