Introducing MapRoulette Quick Fixes

I tried it and it worked great 😃

August 2019 disputed boundaries update

Hi nvk. Instead of downloading via the overpass turbo website I suggest you download directly from the (by default hidden) overpass turbo tab in JOSM.

See https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/Download for details (you have to enable “expert mode” to succeed.)

Behold Cassandra

Thanks for the clarification and for taking the time to review Tom!

A Local Mappers API

Thanks for sharing and working on this!

Mapping forced labor camps in China

Hi @woodpeck Thanks for the heads up. I removed that one. In a year or two when the satellites have passed again/we get new imagery we can revisit these. The best would of course be an on ground survey but that seems kinda unlikely/hard/dangerous for an outsider to perform. If anyone reading this is living in Xinjiang and is willing to take the risk, be my guest to verify these. I would really like to have an independent UN commission or something working with this to document the extent of the problem on ground and verify that it really is slave work camps.

Mapping forced labor camps in China

For those who want to help, in some of the camps there are buildings which is not drawn yet. Find the camps via the overpass query above.

Coordinates on openstreetmap.org

I think we should support as many ways of writing coordinates as possible. E.g. N:39°47’03″ E:78°33’41″ or 39°47’03″ 78°33’41″.

I have drawn a couple of the largest now on the map. See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/GmT

The architecture of them reminds me of Foucaults analysis of prisons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline_and_Punish

Working with Khartoum day 2

Hi MojtabaAbdelhalim I sent you a PM. :)

So how does the Facebook's AI Assisted Road Import Process work?

Thank you very much for the detailed explanations.

I wonder if there are any plans to share some of the improvements to iD back to the iD project? (this is not required by the license, but it would be nice to add a validator to iD and yours seems like a good start).

Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, adopts OpenStreetMap as its official tourist map

Hi. Thanks for the post. Congratulations to Pristina! I would like to succeed in making something similar in my local city. Would you please share how to you modify the PDF output and customize the map?

Parking lanes viewer

@acsd The javascript resets al input choosen on a side if both is checked AFTER I input something and realise that it applies to both.

I imagine that it is fine to reset it if both sides have changes, but in my usecase I edit one side and then suddenly remember that it applies to both and this results in inputting the whole thing again after checking “both”.

Missing direction of photos and layer with signs in OSC

Thanks for the response.

To Holmsund and back with my bike

Fick du nått svar från Älvdal?

Parking lanes viewer

2 questions: Is it possible to add a maxstay after selecting “disc”? Also the form resets the input if both is choosen.

I <3 it!

FEL!

Tack. Har aldrig hittat terrängkartan. Jag menade NVDB och har redigerad inlägget.

Searching relations

@ikonor thanks for the tip. I recently changed the route from =running to =hiking;running so now it shows up on waymarked trails as well. I contacted the author of waymarked trails to enquire about the possibility of adding a “running” subsite and she was positive about that. :)

Searching relations

@TomH thanks for the example. I was referring to relations of the type route. See https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/413

@mmd Thanks for the tip about case insensitive search. I did not look it up, but referred to the default when using the wizard on https://overpass-turbo.eu/ (the wizard could definitely be improved with a checkbox for case-insensitive search ticked by default)

Looking for the issue referenced above I found http://ra.osmsurround.org/searchRelation, but unfortunately it lacks information about how recent a snapshot its search is running on and fails to find the relation in question which I added a couple of weeks ago: http://ra.osmsurround.org/searchRelation?name=h%C3%A4rn%C3%B6&relationType=route&route=&ref=&network=&operator=

Helsingborgs kommun är klart

Fantastiskt! Vilken skillnad. Jag försökte för några år sedan drar i Härnösands Kommuns samhällsförvaltning för flygbilder och shapefiler. Med detta som förebild försöker jag gärna igen.

Kan jag få ta del av kommunikationen med anställda? Tex första brevet som skickades?
