First OpenStreetMap Postings at SFSU

Each OSM editor has the possibility to upload GPS traces. They are not automatically converted to ways, paths, etc. You have to draw over the lines to add them to OSM. With the JOSM editor you can also visualize waypoints that you record with your GPS-device. I don’t know for the other editors. Both iD and JOSM have the possibility to view all uploaded GPS traces as a background of the editor. Not only your GPS traces, all traces that people were willing to share. There are also editors for smartphone that let you immediately add POIs via the app. Check out the links on osm.wiki/Software/Mobile for your device.

happy mapping

An abandoned outdoor movie theater in Desert of Sinai, Egypt

I would use disused:amenity=cinema. This makes it clear that the cinema part is disused, not the tourist attraction

community building

A good idea, I’m willing to help, but won’t be able before next month. For the moment, I’m too busy with some non-OSM related stuff.

See you in Antwerp

Morro da Formiga

You could use loc_name which is meant for this (osm.wiki/Key:name)

sorry for the English answer, I read your blog entry through a translation service

Trilhas de GPS coloridas de acordo com a direção do movimento

You can also use the standard “OpenStreetMap GPS Traces” layer in JOSM, this contains all GPS traces that were uploaded to OSM.

Salvador Mapping Party Report - January 2014

Thanks for sharing. It’s always interesting to learn about OSM contributors at the other end of the world

Universal language

Many browsers have (or you can install) a plugin that does translations. I use it all the time for Russian, Spanish, etc blogs. I’ll try to read (and practice) my English, French & German by reading those blogs without translating.

I’m glad it worked. And yes, the plugin does all the hard work, although you could do it by hand as well :-)

Hallo, I hope you accept a reply in English

1) Remove the tag multipolygon = inner on the inner “rectangle” 2) remove the tags multipolygon and type from the outer “rectangle” 3) select both “rectangles” (use the shift key) 4) tools -> Create Multipolygon this creates the multipolygon relation with 2 members. They have the roles ‘inner’ and ‘outer’

that’s all. I hope this helps

Womit kann man leicht ein kleines Preset programmieren?

Hope this helps you a bit

p.s. I can read German more or less, but will not attempt to write it.

Suche Karte in der Überwachungskameras gerendert sind

Did you press “Run” ? I used “man_made=surveillence” in the query, maybe you tag the camera’s in an other way ?

Suche Karte in der Überwachungskameras gerendert sind

You could use overpass turbo for this, e.g. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1MH

School Districts Boundaries in California

Did you try JOSM + OpenData plugin ? The OpenData plugin can read ESRI shapefiles. See osm.wiki/JOSM/Plugins/OpenData

Fietspaden

Hallo,

Je kan je inschrijven via https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be

We hebben het recentelijk ook nog over de dubbele straatnamen gehad. Je kan de link bovenaan die pagina gebruiken om in het archief te duiken.

Het komt erop neer dat de straat name = naamA - naamB krijgt en ook name:left en name:right krijgt. Niet alle tools kunnen daar mee over weg, maar daar leven we dan maar mee.

nog veel plezier met het mappen.

Fietspaden

Hallo Meannder,

ik zou ook de afzonderlijke highway=cycleway verwijderen. Maar misschien eerst even de auteur van die extra paden contacteren?

Dit is ook weer zo’n vraag waar je sneller reactie gaat op krijgen als je ze op de mailing list gooit. Ik weet niet hoeveel Belgen (of Vlamingen) de blogs hier volgen.

met vriendelijke groeten

von Spitzbergen und Luftbildern

Interesting project, thanks for sharing

Stolpersteine

Do you know http://geschichtskarten.openstreetmap.de/historische_objekte/ It should show Stolpersteine as well as many other historic items

Adding Mobile Money Agents to OSM

But please at least document the tag on the wiki, if you do not want to go through the formal procedure of proposal and voting. You could also discuss this on the tagging mailing list, this is the preferred place to talk about new tagging keys.

BAG

Ik denk dat je best eens in contact treedt met de Nederlandse community. Zij zijn bezig om die BAG informatie beschikbaar te maken voor eenvoudig gebruik in bv. JOSM.

Je kan hen contacteren via het forum of de mailing list.

een Zuiderbuur.

Google Hangout as communication between mappers

That seems to offer the same capabilities, thanks a lot for the link.
