100 Day Mapping Challenge

Publicate per barefootstache le 25 November 2022 in English.

For those who have been following my daily progress on Mastodon, here is the summary.

Data Collection

  • StreetComplete: each quest
  • OsmAnd: each POI
  • Notes: each note
  • SOTM22: each talk
  • droneImages: each image
  • OSMTrace: each trace
  • WikiData: each image for WikiData
  • vespucci: each changeset
  • idEditor: each changeset
  • JOSM: each changeset

First 50 days

During the first 50 days I was mainly doing the challenge remotely, which can seen quite well that a lot of mobile apps are present.

Second 50 days

During the second 50 days I was doing the challenge from home, which can see quite well that JOSM is the main app used.

Total 100 days

On days that I mapped with StreetComplete, I usually also used OsmAnd, and sometimes also vespucci if OsmAnd couldn’t solve the issue.

Most the time I was either mapping with OsmAnd or JOSM. Lots of times, I had a backlog of OsmAnd POIs, which I would deal with on days that I couldn’t actively map.

Towards the last 10 days of the challenge, I became quite lazy, where on one day I just mapped on building on JOSM. Usually I would let the OpenAI run and add a cluster of buildings.

Conclusion

The first 10 days I started off strong and it mellowed out from there. It definitely has become second nature to map daily even if it is adding just one new POI or building.

Lots of times it was last minute mapping like in the last 10min of the day, just making any changes. Just so that the streak doesn’t break.

Future

The challenge will continue for at least another 100 days. Luckily with the game Munich S-Bahn Roulette I am introduced to a new area that is sparsely mapped with StreetComplete. So plenty more areas to go!

Have you tried Every Door? In my experience, it does a much better work than OsmAnd with adding POIs and small objects 😉 https://github.com/Zverik/every_door

I have heard of Every Door, though still waiting for it to be available on Fdroid. Plus what I heard it’s an online editor, so it won’t be able to replace Osmand, maybe some tasks in Vespucci.

yes… it’s not in f-droid yet. For quite a long time they merge :( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/11955

And so, Every Door can be used offline. Presets are built into the app, and data can be downloaded in advance (even satellite images) But we’ll have to wait for it to appear in f-droid.


Happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for the sharing. I’m currently in a month mapping challenge and I totally recognize me in some points you noted 😄
