Hi there,

is there somehow a possibility to visualize all GPS-tracks that were gethered for the same area? For example I use JOSM, I define my area of interest and for that specific AoI I want to fetch all available GPS-tracks. Hope that was clear!

Thanks!

As a bloody OSM newbie I quickly realized, the strength of this crowdsourced project is not (only) freely available geometries, but the database in the background. As far as I’m aware, OSM is quite influencal in the mapping business and we may take our chances for pioneering tasks.

With the last OSM carto release (v2.30.0), bicycle_parking has been finally made available for display by default on the main map. Great! But why omitting charging stations? (such as this here) Those are not even available on the cycling layer, why? This is something I really, really would love to see added sooner than later! Cities want to get rid of cars, there are lots of efforts/incentives around the world to achieve this. E-bikes are quite a thing by now - but I can imagine people fear the lack of appropriate charging stations (same applies to car charging stations).

Here in Vienna alone are around 300 charging stations available - why not show people: hey, go ahead, get your E-bike…there are plenty of charging stations around you! This wouldn’t congest the map by no means, but would be really far-sighted in terms of social responsibility. At least, this should be added to the cycling layer. (I’m aware of things suchs as Overpass API for creating own specialized maps…but I think this might be of general interest)

However, as I’m new here, I have no idea how to address/forward such suggestions to persons in charge - but I hope this is also on the agenda for future updates!
