OpenStreetMap 19th Birthday Party The Event will be promoted by UMBRAOSM - Union of Brazilian Openstreetmap Mappers



I asked my first question on the Support Forum. Member Minh Nguyễn was kind to answer it quickly and accurately. I wanted to add a speed limit to a Way but the Way was under a “Boundary” data label.. The solution: Select Edit.. Then on the RIGHT side of map area are icons. By selecting the one called “Map Data” and then clicking on heading called “MAP FEATURES” and then un-checking the box for “Boundaries” then the Map doesn’t display “Boundary Data” With that layer now hidden the WAY was easy to select and add Speed Limit Tags. The OSM ID Editor has many cool features once someone shows me.. :)


Tonight I learned how to designate different Speed Limits on the same road going in different directions. The Forward direction of a “Way” has little guide triangle icons when a Way is selected that act like arrows. These triangle icons point in the Forward Direction. The reverse of Forward is Backward. After selecting a Way, there is a menu on left called TAG’s. I simply press add (+) to create a TAG called maxspeed:forward and maxspeed:backward and assign a speed limit appropriate for that section of Way. It doesn’t populate “mph” so I needed to remember to include that after the speed. I figured that out later and went back and double checked all my Forward and Backward speeds. I like best when a street has the same speed limit in both directions. However many primary streets have sections with different speed limit overlap. ID editor really has some cool features. :)



Before I started mapping I didn’t think much about walkability. There are parts of the city that are hard to get to without a car.

Some streets don’t even have a sidewalk. Theres a chance that curbs have no ramp for wheelchair users. I will say though that the city is making things better.

A couple new walking paths were built along the two main roads. Near my house there was also work done to the roads and sidewalks. We now have ramps on the curbs!




Lots of criminal going on here

Yesterday which was the 5th of August, 2023 we ha our weekly mapathon. This holds every Saturday of every week. I trained our newbie from last week on how to use Maproulette and how to map road. Then I also opened a new account and trained a newbie yesterday on how to map. We had two newbies yesterday but I could only open an account for the other because our time was up. We all also had refreshments and had fun mapping. We were a total of 6.


I attended the monthly coordination meeting that took place on the 5th August from 9:45am-11am. The Agenda for the meeting 1. Map Nigeria Mapathon Project -progress and concerns 2. Other community Activities- 3. Reports from Mapathon centers/State Chapters/Campus Team 4. SotM Nigeria 2023-updates and Actions required

I also invited 2 persons to attend the meeting. It was quite nice.



Added lots of building in SA between anderson loop-huebner and I10-NW Military HWY. Will continue adding in sections until SA buildings are filled in completely.


I participated in the coordination of the conference state of The Map Nigeria in preparation for the Conference


Magic Earth is an Android App that used OpenStreetmap as it’s mapping source. Unfortunately many streets i travel either had no speed limit or a value that was in ERROR. So tonight I joined OSM and learned how to edit Speed Limits on streets. To my surprise I racked up 27 changes to post.


Editied OSM again this week.

I’ve spent time at Sargent Park (Winnipeg, Canada), and noticed a lot of missing pathways, which I can use on a bike or walking. I’ve made several updates to paths, roads, parking, fences, building names, facility names, etc.

I’m quite happy with the changes.

I haven’t found a good android app for OSM, either. Someone must know something decent– a kind of google maps competitor.










wow!


i’m loving open street maps! never gave it the time of day before ;)

Do we (OSM) have a league table for all countries/ entities (non-countries?), which is based on the quality of OSM mapping in that country?

I ask this question, because I was undertaking a MapRoulette challenge, to help with mapping in Algiers, and although some pockets of excellent mapping existed, it seemed clear that this was very much the exception.

  • How do we gather metrics, to assess the quality of mapping in a given country, so that quality can be improved?

  • How do we engage with the ‘local’ OSM community, to perhaps help them to improve mapping?

  • Can we define a regular (and repeatable) set of MapRoulette challenges, that would enable remote mapping to be carried out, in support of ‘hands-on’ mapping/ surveying carried out by ‘locals on the ground’?

  • How do we publicise tools such as StreetComplete, to help populate the data/ metadata of a country, in order to build upon the ‘big picture’ data that is gathered?

  • What are we missing, above?
Please add to this, and edit, as appropriate.

Many thanks,

Chris
