Fehlende Smootness-Daten

brouter könnte profitieren!


Wie soll brouter gute Rennrad-Tracks finden, wenn in OSM smoothness kaum gepflegt wird? Ein kleines Tool TagCoverage, welche ich geschrieben habe, zeigt, dass smoothness wenig gepflegt wird. In NRW sind gerade 8,6 % der erfassten Ways dafür dokumentiert! Natürlich gibt es Ausnahmen, in Köln gibt es deutlich höhere Werte, im Ortsteil Blumenberg sind es sogar 88,4 %! Berlin ist mit im Schnitt 37,3 % auch deutlich besser.

Abhilfe


Aber hier kann was getan werden, ich arbeite an einer App ACCoGPS, die georeferenzierte Vibrationsdaten per Handy am Fahrradlenker aufnimmt und diese über ein Backend aufbereitet und daraus saubere Smoothness-Daten ermittelt.

Beide Tools stelle ich am 16.9. beim OSM-Stammtisch in Köln kurz vor.









I am happy to announce that we, the OpenStreetMap Carto maintainers, have prepared a new release of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website). Once changes are deployed on openstreetmap.







recent hdyc.neis-one.org feature update is really something else. it forces you to read “that thing”. sometimes i accidentally read something that makes my blood boil.

alright, instead of replying there, i’m gonna reply to it here instead.

place=city: The largest settlement within a territory, including national, state and provincial capitals, and other major conurbations (an extended urban area, typically consisting of several towns merging with the suburbs of one or more cities).

place=town: An important urban centre that is larger than a village, smaller than a city, and not a suburb. Towns normally have a good range of shops and facilities which are used by people from nearby villages.

place=village: A smaller distinct settlement, smaller than a town, with few facilities available, with people travelling to nearby towns to access these.

place=hamlet: An isolated settlement.

i can confirm by myself that “that place” is not isolated.

meanwhile, administrative borders should be mapped as ways/relations properly. for a node, just stick with this global consensus definition as stated on the wiki page.

but where can we get that administrative border data?

someone in “that Telegram” group claimed to own all the copyright to this country’s administrative data, even though it is clearly already licensed as open data on “that site”.

i’m not a lawyer, so i don’t know the legality of manually tracing that border from an official source. this is why i hate mapping from official sources. i’d rather stick to local knowledge and direct surveys.

and… that’s it, pretty much.














For ages, Ive been wanting to tell my stories around a specific place in OSM. Not specifically a “review” of a business, but simply a personal anecdote about me and that particular place.
