"Latest Changes" is mobile friendly now
Publikigita de rene78 je 23 decembro 2021 en English. Antaŭe ĝisdatigita je 15 aprilo 2022.Recently I have worked a bit on the web app “Latest Changes” (https://rene78.github.io/latest-changes/) in order to make it more mobile-friendly. Hope someone finds it useful.
Quick reminder to the ones of you, who don’t know the app yet. The purpose is to check recent OSM changes within a certain cartographic boundary, for example your home town. It is very simple and powerful:
- Open the Latest-Changes web app.
- Zoom to the area of interest
- Check and validate the changesets of the last 7 days (1 day, 3 days, 1 month).
- Bookmark the URL to regularly come back and monitor your area of interest.

The power of OSM
Publikigita de rene78 je 24 majo 2018 en English. Antaŭe ĝisdatigita je 12 junio 2018.I would like to recount an interesting encounter I had during a bike trip in Myanmar. In December 2016 I cycled from Yangon/Myanmar to Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia. Beforehand I was armchair mapping some tracks east of Bago, Myanmar in order to avoid the stinky and noisy main road and slightly short-cut the trip. Later I used OsmAnd+ to navigate those tracks.
It was precisely on these roads in the middle of nowhere - Google Maps is literally blank there - where I met a female solo bike traveller. She used Maps.me to navigate and was using ‘my’ roads to go into the opposite direction.
Quite entertaining to see the real world impact of all our mapping efforts.
Here is a picture of one of those newly mapped roads at a slightly different location.
