Please, stop to devastate Mogadishu

So after the OEGs and according to recent activities, the base map is now in an acceptable state?

AI-assisted workflows - could you please provide a working link

Lot of frustration due to bad H.O.T. tasks

Your custom imagery is of good quality but maxar premium beta is more recent. When looking into the data I wonder why most of the tiles are still green and why there is almost no activity at the moment. Although the road network needs an update, it shouldn’t be messed up by a building only task.
Please fix at least all the building/road intersections.

Experiment: AI-ASSISTED OPEN MAPPING

where can one review the map data that has been created?

Potential HOT tasking manager improvements to help new and existing contributors collaborate more effectively

TM projects don’t always get closed out - this is highly problematic! Especially when a single mapper takes over an entire project that is no longer monitored. See #hotosm-project-5842 (who is responsible when the project manager cannot be reached) or #hotosm-project-1497. #hotosm-project-1045-loreto is also a project that has produced very interesting results over the years

Viel Spaß noch

Deine Mitarbeit wird uns fehlen. Speziell auch in der Region zwischen Lahn und Sieg

拜拜

edwin-ldbg das warst du oder? Und jetzt schon wieder weg wegen diesen CS-Kommentar Nörgelleien. Finde ich jetzt echt schade,ehrlich.

What Imagery to Use for Validation?

Always the latest layer! Determine it by comparing all available layers. The older layers may offer different lighting, resolution and viewing angle to make things more clear.

Cloudy satellite image

Hi, esri seems to be more recent, and it is cloudless.

OSMF elects all Male, Northern Board

and how many of this local chapters will be controlled by HOT? With all the western male big money influence from organizations like red cross, msf, facebook,apple,uber.. in behind.

Soweit wie möglich rein zoomen. Dann Rechtsclick auf den Bildlayer und Autozoom auschalten.

Does anyone even check what HOTOSM contributors leave behind?

It is not only a problem of new mappers. This Problem is in deed very HOT specific. HOT is encouraging new mappers, to map places, where nothing is to find comparable to their normal environment. And in some boring tiles, where nothing is to map, even experienced mappers start to map animal traces as highway=unclassified. Project managers and requesting organisations are most of the time neither involved in mapping nor in validating. No critical feedback, only success stories all the time.

The OSM street network is more than 80% complete

Your figures may be right, where a strong local community is present. But in Africa, where most of the content was added during missing map campaigns we have large areas with absolut unusable data. osm.org/#map=17/-1.83031/34.11777 osm.org/#map=17/-15.95590/35.08909 osm.org/#map=16/-18.3283/21.8104

Review of Africa Highway Tags

Hi, we can discribe any possible road condition with existing tags. When a road is not suitable for normal traffic, it should be tagged as track. You may want to invent a additional tag, like we do with service roads (osm.wiki/Key:service), but certainly no new road type

Mapping turn lanes in OpensStreetMap

Complex junctions - With a lot of guesswork. If some one has local knowledge, we could adapt this to the reality. But it is generally not too complicated to map such complex junctions with the *.lanes scheme OSM-file

Mapping turn lanes in OpensStreetMap

In some rare cases you might need to use relations. Please check this proposal, where some strange cases were highlighted. osm.wiki/Proposed_features/lanes_General_Extension/ProposalPreVoting#Lane_connectivity Here is an example of a simple crossing which incorporates 15 turnlanes:turn relations: osm.org/node/199483223 The problem with that is not the tagging but the maintenance.

Mapping turn lanes in OpensStreetMap

When looking at this segment, one will understand that there are reasons for the wider usage of the *:lanes scheme. First: It is human readable. Second: It is simply extendable with common tags and therefore it it much more versatile as this aged zombie proposal. And by the way, simply counting relations and ways is like trying to compare of apples with oranges osm.org/way/361770445

Mapping turn lanes in OpensStreetMap

As mentioned before, there is already an approved way to map turnlanes in osm. osm.wiki/Key:turn:lanes This scheme is also supported by osmand and mapfactor since some time.

Verschlimmbesserungen

Hallo 4gruwe,
wäre echt schade einen so aktiven Mapper in direkter Nachbarschaft zu verlieren.
Falls du dich an meinen Edits gestört haben solltest könnten wir das auch vor Ort klären.
