Enriching OpenStreetMap.org website with Tempermonkey

I would suggest sharing your code also with https://openuserjs.org/. This will ease the installing process for users and will make it extension independent meaning that users can choose between TamperMonkey and GreaseMonkey.

Sidewalk mapped separately

Sidewalk mapping is a skilled practice and should be critically thought through before separating it from the binding road. Lots of times sidewalk surfaces alter frequently not to include the alterations by crossings. This would then create unnecessary nodes along the adjacent road.

Additionally if there is a green space between the road and sidewalk this information is removed. If it is just grass one could question, if the separation is needed, but as soon as trees or shrubbery are in play that puts a whole different twist onto it. There are plenty other amenities and POIs that exist between a sidewalk and road.

The navigation problem for pedestrians is a tricky one. Is one mapping for the routing agent or is one mapping the correctness of the world !? There is no easy answer for this and every mapper should choose which one makes more sense in the situation. Though sidewalks usually are frequently connected to driveways, so the routing issue should be quite minute, as long as driveways are also mapped.

My main way of transport is by foot and for me it is much easier to visually see if there is a separate sidewalk on the map then trying to get the data from the adjacent road.

My favourite OSM tools v.1.5

@adrianojbr based off the wiki entry for Waze, the app does NOT contribute to the OSM database. It is only an alternative for car navigation instead of Google.

Sock puppet accounts on OSM

Although this sock puppet has become a nuisance, they are at least consistent with the username pattern choice. Does there exist a website which flags such accounts? Like in this example, have one that regex matches “AbbyHatcher”.

Field Data Collection & Data quality issues- Organic Maps, Every Door

Neat method, I use a similar method with OsmAnd and SCEE.

Does Organic Maps allow you to see fixme tags? Because an option one could consider doing before hand is run Osmose over the area and add the fixme tag to true positives, since Osmose is known to throw a lot of false-positives. Or one could go with the Vespucci route that integrates Osmose out of the box and has the option to work offline.

100 Day Mapping Challenge

Thanks for the update!!!

100 Day Mapping Challenge

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.
