Was there any research so far on “This has led to assertions that various geospatial knowledge could be under represented or poorly recorded on the map’ ? Do we know what female mappers would add or what female users of a map would like to see on a map ?

Are any of those features mapped less by male mappers ? Are the specific regions where this make (or does not make) a difference ?

I honestly have no idea. So far I managed to interview 3 female mappers for my Mapper of the Month series and I see no difference in what they map and what I map.

I once read that there are a lot of pubs in OSM and that this is because there are a lot of male mappers. In Belgium we use “pub” as well for places where families go on an afternoon because there is a playground and one can drink coffee/tea as well as beer and eat pancakes/ice cream. In the evening those places are used for dinners. Not really family-unfriendly places. But we also use the same tag for what we call “Café” in Dutch and French, which are close to the stereotype pub of drinking and smoking.

So counting male vs. female contributors is one thing, and rather easy to accomplish. But is the mapping behaviour different ?

Maybe we have only people that love to bike and hike (where the needs of female/male contributors are more or less the I think).

Lot’s of questions, unfortunately I have no answers

Even if you are doing it perfectly in Canada, it would be nice to document how it is done. This would allow newcomers and data consumers understand how it is done.

What’s wrong with using OpenStreetCam on a footpath ?

Enrique1984 did 4 edits, all of them over a year ago. Perhaps he didn’t know his drawings were going live immediately after saving them ?

In general it’s best to reach out to those people in a friendly way, telling them how OSM works. However, when the user didn’t do anything for over a year, you just have to fix the problem.

There is nothing that can be done to overcome this problem. When there are enough mappers, each one monitoring an area, those problems will be picked up quickly. Unfortunately this will not work in a country with a small community.

Can you explain what you mean with “these codes doesn’t work” ? Is the map not show ? Is your program crashing ? There is so much that can you wrong that it is impossible to guess where you are stuck.

(Sorry for the English)

You could use http://extract.bbbike.org/ to download the map for Ireland. Pick of the Garmin formats. Just place the downloaded file in the GPX folder of your device.

This is the help page of the website: http://extract.bbbike.org/extract.html

Here are some instructions in German: osm.wiki/DE:OSM_Map_On_Garmin

And for this type of questions will get more answers when you use e.g. the German forum: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=14

@Paul Johnson, oh, I see it now, you model your u-turn via that way. It’s a bit unfortunate that it now seems like there are 2 places where one can make a u-turn coming from the east. But I see no better method to map the N-to-E way.

I would have mapped the traffic signals differently though (not that you did it). Not on the junction nodes, but on the ways approaching the junction in order to avoid that dumb data consumers would think I had to pass 3 traffic signals when travelling from E to W. (as explained in osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals - tag all incoming one-ways).

Is there a turn restriction on the 3100 South with the one way coming from the north ?

Do you know the draft proposal osm.wiki/Proposed_features/transit ?

@NunoCaldeira, sorry for the confusion, I’m talking about the small segment between the N-S ways of the E-W street. I now see that there are no lane markers, but isn’t it weird that the lanes do not continue there ? Sorry, I come from a European context, where the lanes really continue over the junction. So in this case one shouldn’t map the lanes there.

@NunoCaldeira I would add the turn lanes also to the way between the N and S ways. I do not understand your turn restrictions for the street from N. Only right & straight ? Your turn lanes tell me something else.

• dual carriage ways for N/S
• are the cycleways tracks ? (hard to see on the picture) Would make tagging easier

• W: lanes=8;lanes:forward=5;lanes:backward=3:turn:lanes:backward=none;none	merge_to_left
  then a shorter piece with 7 lanes, very similar but with turn:lanes:forward=left	left	through	through	right (if the arrows are indicated on the signs)

• E similar to west
• Since S/N are dual carriage ways, no need to split in forward/backward
• N, similar for the top part, then split at the right turn + propably no right turn restriction at the actual crossing
• O yes, and for the end of that right turn, a only_right restriction for going to W

I am not familiar with the signs on the 2nd lane from the right in S.

All towns in Belgium that are officially bilingual also show this on osm.org. Same is true for Switserland.

So I wonder why you think that their names only appear in 1 language. Which map did you use ?

Wambacher has a dedicated site with daily checks for the boundaries: http://osm.wno-edv-service.de/index.php/10-osm-reports/838-countries-compare-2017-03-21

The number of boundaries and their size is checked. Perhaps he could check for name changes as changes to the admin nodes as well ?

@PlaneMad: thanks

@dfjs good to see I’m not the only one combining sighthounds and OSM :)

@H@mlet: link added. sorry for the inconvenience

Just send an email to data@osmfoundation.org

In general, they prefer that you can show that you have tried to contact the other mapper, that there was some changeset discussion, discussion on a forum etc.

This might be hard for a small (I assume) community as yours and with (propably) one time mappers from the event. So just send them an email and ask what you can do.

You could contact the Data Working Group to ask them to assist you in reverting the situation back (i.e. to the situation before the PDCSurabaya event).

I know you can clone your own umaps. Don’t know about mapcontrib. I doubt you can clone someone elses map.
