Hi! I need assistance training for anal. Please reach for the taint at your ealiest cumvenience


Pierpoint is a small town in South Dakota. It’s now mapped: buildings, sidewalks, footpaths, alleys, power poles. There is probably more micro mapping to do but it’s on the map now.


I’m part of a small volunteer team that runs birding.live, a free site that helps people find birds and green spaces near them. Thought it made sense to introduce how the site leans on OSM data, and to say thanks.

What we do with OSM: geocoding and place search come through Nominatim with an identifying user agent, throttled through our own proxy. Nearby parks, woods and reserves are place queries framed from OSM data, mostly via Geoapify’s OSM-derived layer, and walking trails come from Overpass as named route relations for hiking, foot and walking. Plain paths only ever show up if their OSM tags carry a real signal like difficulty grading or waymarking, so road connectors and farm tracks don’t pretend to be trails.

Who it’s for: the site is a five minute route into birding for beginners. You type a place, see which birds have been reported around it recently from the eBird community, and get a map of parks, reserves and named trails to walk, all credited as OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.

Two things we want to improve, honestly: watching how the trail queries behave in areas with patchy tagging, and starting to give corrections back once we’re confident enough to do it properly. If you’ve got pointers on Overpass named-route queries, or you spot one of our pins naming something wrongly, that kind of eye is very welcome.

If you’re curious the site is birding.live and the code is at github.com/chocobar/birding. Thanks for the years of contributor effort behind every pin on our maps.


It occurred to me that some users of OpenStreetMap data cannot read Cyrillic script, so maps lacking name:en variables (or others using Latin letters) may have difficulty reading place names, highway names, and so on.

Usually users add 1500–2000 map notes per day. Yesterday (2026-10-13) one user added 6175 map notes. Yesterday all users added 7717 map notes. So one user added 80% map notes (one user added four times as many notes as all the other users combined).


Over the past months Ive been building v2 of an idea Ive had for a while: a way to explore every OpenStreetMap changeset since 2005, see trends over time, and drill down to who did what. (v1 was a prototype built on Datadog; its code is here.

  • Added Brice Road Park, which opened in early 2026. (Park has a Reynoldsburg address, although it is located within Columbus boundaries. 10-year partnership between Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department and Columbus Recreation and Parks Department.)


I have uploaded updates to Github of my personal scripts and style sheets for making Garmin-compatible IMG files out of OSM-origin PBF files (thank you, Geofabrik!), both for Central Asia (all five countries) and for the Russian Federation.




I have been building an interactive 3D map of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi: uaemaps.com. It is a free, non-commercial side project.







I just updated, as at the beginning of every quarter the statistics on the wiki here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats#Contributor_statistics_reports





OpenStreetMap is a beautiful map, but its biggest problem is its user base. If we compare OpenStreetMap with Google Maps, we’ll notice a significant difference in the places, shops, and restaurants that appear on Google Maps but are missing from OpenStreetMap. This isn’t a flaw in OpenStreetMap, but rather a lack of users to add these places. Nevertheless, I try to contribute to the map as much as I can because it’s owned by a free community, not a monopolistic company—and that’s what these communities deserve.



I was looking at my Google Maps and the amount of view I have to date, 47 million! But there is no contact with people , so looked to the Ferdiverse and found this. No not if they have photo uploads, but I can put my Section Eight and Bisset Collection on a map now. Me and Google have issues.












All the buildings in Epworth are mapped and addressed. There are still farms within the bounds of Epworth that can use some attention.
