| (literal) Crop Circles in Northern Ireland | One of the very few marathons available this year! I too will eventually get to some institutions I attended; though I understand two of the three have been demolished and rebuilt since my day. |

| (literal) Crop Circles in Northern Ireland | @alexkemp: Fair enough, re: moving to HU. But I suspect BT will take longer, so do feel free to chip in any time. You could possibly avoid collisions by starting at the other end of the table - with the BT94s, etc. And thanks for the website resources - I hadn’t found all of those! Regards, K |

| (literal) Crop Circles in Northern Ireland | I too am looking at adding some schools to NI. The charts and tables here https://osm.mathmos.net/schools/progress/BT/ are naturally very helpful. I recently (mostly) finished the E and EC postcodes, and NI has the lowest completion rate of what’s left. I sorted by Postcode and began working my way down it yesterday. I’ve only managed a handful so far; but I noticed that some of them are closed (according to aerial photography, one of those has been built over by housing). You’ll probably encounter some Irish language schools too (in the sense of schools where Irish is the everyday language used). I’ve added the tag language:ga=main to these, but perhaps there is something better. There were two of them in my first batch. |

| London Cycling map data | Lots of detailed discussion hete. Looks positive. This is the place to offer help or support- https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2019-August/023318.html |

| Externe GPS-Empfänger fürs Handy | Have you noticed whether an external device like this one saves battery use on the smartphone? Does bluetooth on the smartphone take less power than the built-in GPS receiver? Google Translate folgt: Ist Ihnen aufgefallen, ob ein solches externes GPS-Gerät den Akkuverbrauch des Smartphones spart? Verbraucht Bluetooth auf dem Smartphone weniger Strom als der eingebaute GPS-Empfänger? |

| Changeset upload is in production since May 2019, as part of CGImap 0.7.5 | Has this been implemented in Production? I find iD on osm.org is not allowing uploads, presenting an error message with raw HTML visible as follows: Sometimes like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”> <html> <body> and sometimes like this: <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> |

| Making lots of new data for the OSM.ie community: Mapillary | There’s also this source now available in some areas (haven’t tried Dublin): Bing “StreetSide”, which is like a blurier version of Google StreetView, but it is available for OSM. See here for details, some of which are in German. https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=698568#p698568 |

| North West London edits | Thank you! |

| Mapping North Andover, MA | If you do go for JOSM, the Terracer plugin is an absolute lifesaver for splitting rowhouses (A.K.A “terraces”) into the individual dwellings. |
|
| Mapping North Andover, MA | You could also get hold of the StreetComplete app for your smartphone. It shows a map with markers where there is some missing data - it displays markers for missing house/building numbers. You can add them on-screen when you’re out and about. |
|
| How to track and encourage contribution? | You can still mark tiles as dirty if you can discover their URL. The new right-mouse menu on osm.org doesn’t prevent this, but it just make it more difficult. In Firefox, you can find the URL for any displayed tile in the Page Info / Media panel. Then you can copy and paste it into a new tab with the “/dirty” appended. |

| SMART bus stops | Just wanted to say thanks! |
|
| Too many Idiot-Mappers in Ecuador | I have noticed doubled-up hotels in Maps.me too. They look like they have been imported directly into Maps.me from Bookings.com as some sort of money-getting scheme. They are not editable in Maps.me, but they do not appear in OSM’s original data. Think of them as unskippable adverts. |
|
| Maproulette | If you have an Android phone, you can install StreetComplete, which can prompt you to complete details from your immediate surroundings. It has a number of quests active at the moment - building levels, roof types, business opening hours, bus-stop types, road surface types, and street numbers. |
