Parking_space micromapping JOSM method overview

I assume it would be quite easy to simply move all the parking spaces elements.

Perhaps be prepared for disasters by testing what kind of elements would be easy to move en masse. (Any at all?)

Glad that you are using air photos and not GPS in parking lots. I’m just worried if one day you will find your air photos were a meter or two off…

OSM becoming a patchwork of different referencing systems

Today I illegally tried my country’s government map as a background, and found all my years of local mapping was skewed… proven by GPS traces (which match the government map) too. Well that’s what happens after a constant diet of your average satellite images, and a government that doesn’t allow one to use the local imagery or maps as reference.

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation

That is the whole point of blocking people. Yes. But please read further.

The pass history of OpenStreetMap Taiwan: the big blank area of Huko, Hsinhong, Kuanin

Alas the only layer with “perfect” WGS84 alignment is the government layer, and it is limited to zoom level 15. So the rest of the editing is done with a patchwork of different alignments: osm.org/user/jidanni/diary/392287 .

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation

Apparently I got over it within minutes https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1333#issuecomment-255526907 but nobody knew, as they already had blocked me.

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation

Ah, but at least FB and IG don’t let me keep on commenting on the blockee’s issues, with the blockee anesthetized so he is not aware of it too.

How to check for bbox USER map changes with overpass?

(I recall I removed a telephone very near osm.org/?mlat=24.17788&mlon=120.72338#map=19/24.17788/120.72338

I still can’t figure out how to “reveal” it, despite the above discussion. The best I could reveal is ways, not points.)

Bing Imagery Offset

date the image was taken

If you do F12 (Developer Tools) in your browser, and examine the headers, there is

How to check for bbox USER map changes with overpass?

Indeed, “I could have sworn I added that hardware store already last year, and now it is gone.” Or maybe I haven’t been taking my paranoia medicine lately… it would be great for a one-click way to find out the truth. OK, maybe two clicks.

Bing Imagery Offset

Yes, village 1 gets mapped with offset 1, village 2 with offset 2, etc. until one day when their edges finally meet and one has to deal with the problem. P.S., here in Taiwan Bing is 10 years old.

New feature: Easily add new maps to your menu!

Say, will sites I add propagate to all the computers I have chromium installed on?

承辦單位:民政局/臺中市北區戶政事務所/行政課

親愛的積先生您好:
經查北區北屯路28之1號並無門牌初編相關資料,應係屬建築法規實施前已存在之舊建物。次查該建物於70年5月8日起即有人設籍,設籍資料為北區錦洲里37鄰,早於內政部地政司辦理行政區界線之清查與更新。

行政區域界線認定屬區公所轄管業務,至本轄相關區界上之門牌目前尚無規劃辦理變更。
感謝您對市政之關心,敬祝平安順心。

How to highlight high-precision GPX traces?

@TheSwavu, Yes, and I admire your ability to handle switching from left to right, for me it messed me up for a whole month.

How to highlight high-precision GPX traces?

Alas, precise coordinate entry of points is not encouraged for regular users.

You thought OpenStreetMap data uses the WGS84 datum? No it doesn't!

Alas, even if I had the exact coordinates of those markers in the pictures… well…
