What appears are two separate man-made geoglyphs, 300m x 500m (human) and 200m x 200m (bull), of what appears to be etched on a gently graded terrain is a human and a bull oriented north to south. The two figures is targeted with several concentrically oriented Nazca lines.

14°47′38″S, 75°4′15″W -14.7940031, -75.0709680 Nazca, Province of Nasca, Ica, 11401, Peru

The figures suggest a man-made geoglyph of a human being chased by a bull which appears to be in pursuit of him It is very unclear why the bear is chasing him. The man appears to be carrying a blanket, wearing lose fitting outfit and wearing shoes. The bull behind him has long pointy horns and appears to be drawn as if he is chasing him.

Awaiting better mapping to confirm additional linework.

Along with the inhabitants, bulls have been recorded in these local areas.





Yesterday I mapped two parks along 43rd which I decided would be the final portion - 43rd does continue east of I-435 but in the interest of some kind of coherent boundary to my city mapping, I’m keeping it within the bounds of I-435. The parks had several amenities like sports courts, picnic shelters etc. On the way between one park and another, I encountered a bar owner who wanted to chat. He noticed me taking a photo of a downed pedestrian signal button and complained about all the accidents that happen outside his bar - including the one that led to that particular damage. I reported it on the city’s 311 app and asked him if he was aware of the app - he wasn’t, so I showed it to him in case he wanted to report more accident damage in the future. A kind old man driving through one of the parks asked me if I was with Parks and Rec, and said he hoped they would add a public restroom to the park one day. I told him I agree, but explained I was just doing a hobby and not with Parks and Rec.

Today we started down Main street - a totally different land use and economic situation from the east end of 43rd St. We started at 43rd St, as my plan is to radiate out from my focal point of 43rd and Main, where I’m also documenting the streetcar-related development via periodic photos. We walked south on the east side of Main mapping the items there. We found that many businesses hadn’t been recorded yet or there were new / different ones in place. At the Community Christian Church I noticed two memorial plaques (one connected to the cornerstone) which hadn’t been mapped. We shunted off to the west to follow the named version of Main St. rather than continuing to follow it where it changes to Brookside Blvd. We went down as far as 49th St, had tea at Banksia, and hubby headed home while I mapped Main going back up on the west side. The most interesting thing we found (I thought) was that the Kansas City Board of Trade had been closed down in 2013 and that this info wasn’t accounted for yet. Several small shops were in the refurbished building where it used to stand, and there was a memorial plaque with some history about the Board of Trade.




Hello hello strange website I do not fully understand! I have begun mapping out my Town! The grand town of Northampton! I saw a lot of the suburbs, and even parts of the town centre were missing residential housing features, so I began adding buildings on a road I know quite well as I used to live there. I know I missed a few sheds, but I am not about to guesstimate their locations under trees. Cheers!

Hallo, ich habe von der Allianz den Drive Dot. Der zeichnet mir unterschiedliche Fahreigenschaften auf und speichert sie, Seit September 2023 wird auf der Maurener Strasse von Holzgerlingen nach Ehningen ein Stück mit nur 30km/h angezeigt, obwohl da eigentlich noch 100km/ h erlaubt ist. wie wird das geändert??

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Ralf

A lot of new mappers are trying to edit existing element instead of creating new one and set properties to them. (For example some new mapper added amenity=pharmacy to whole apartment building insted of creating one node for it.)

Also I think it would be good idea to hide some existing layers for newies (at least boundaries). New mappers do not need to work with them, because they are not changing for a lot.

In iDeditor a lot of times happens that new mapper connect road with forest boundary, because he just moved node on way for a bit and iDeditor connected this 2 elements (This can be prevented by holding Alt, but new mappers do not know this). So we can at least think about layering OSM at least for new mappers.

Also when new mapper is crating new way, which is going in the same direction as some existing way (boundary or forest boundary) he many times connect this new way with existing one.

Proposed layers:
  • POI
  • buildings, highways, railways
  • landcover
  • boundaries
In JOSM I’m using filter to hide landcover and boundaries for most of time. Only when I want to work with landcover or boundary, anly then I revert filter to show only this type of ways.

SK:


Čím viac sa nad tým zamýšľam, tým viac mi to príde vhodnejšie. Veľa nováčikov sa snaží niečo pridať, lenže väčšinou len upravia existujúce elementy namiesto toho, aby pridali nové. Taktiež si myslím, že by bolo vhodné nováčikom skryť aspoň hranice. V iDeditore sa nováčikom často stáva, že spoja cestu s hranicou lesa (Nevedia, že keď podržia Alt, tak sa im to automaticky nespojí). Takže môžme aspoň pouvažovať nad nejakými vrstvami v OSM.

Navrhované vrstvy:
  • POI
  • budovy, cesty, železnice
  • lesy, lúky, polia …
  • hranice
V JOSM mám väčšinou zapnuté filtre na skrytie landcover a hraníc. Iba, keď potrebujem elementy tohto typu editovať, len vtedy si filtre prevrátim.

My reflection about SotM Africa 2023 held in Yaoundé, Cameroon which focused on the theme “Open Mapping as a support tool for local development in Africa”. The State of the Map Africa (SotM Africa) is a bi-annual regional conference that celebrates the culture of open mapping, open data, GIS and its impact across Africa. It was a great opportunity for mappers, GIS & Open Mapping enthusiasts, data users, and other stakeholders in the OpenStreetMap community to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on projects.

• Presentations and workshops: The variety of presentations on topics related to OpenStreetMap, and GIS such as Field mapping techniques, data analysis, and community building. I learned about new tools, methods, and techniques, and also gained insights into the challenges and opportunities facing OpenStreetMap in Africa and how we can collaborate together to develop and solve Open Mapping & Data challenges in Africa.

• Networking: The conference offered a great opportunity to meet with other people from other part of Africa & world, who are passionate about OpenStreetMap. I was opportune to make new friends, (the Likes of Kennedy, Yves Emmanuel, Charles, Emmanuel, Janet, and the OSM Cameroon team), established professional connections, or found collaborators for future projects

• Cultural and social Night experiences: The conference was also a chance for me to experience the Cameroonian culture especially during the social night event seeing different culture, dancing steps etc., I enjoyed the hospitality offered, local food, music, and dance, and learned more about the history and traditions of Cameroon.

My Appreciation goes to SotM Africa 2023 Scholarship team, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap (HOTOSM), OSM Africa, WNA Hub, ESA Hub, and other Donors for their support to the success of this remarkable event, indeed SotM Africa 2023 was a valuable and enriching experience for me. It provided an opportunity for me to learn, network, and contribute to my local community and the OpenStreetMap community.
