I heard for OSM before, but i just started to use it. And loving it for now. Installed it locally via docker in couple of minutes.
I am happy to contribute to the cause!

Once I had a concept to render gabled roofs in 3D with OSMgo.org but it did not work. Often the roof looked like broken down. After a long time of abandoning OSMgo, I found a “working” solution and used it in my code.

This post is the result of a student project. The work was done by the following group of students: Alice Rey, Jihene Haj Hamouda, Yahia Heni, Mohammed El Mehdi Alaoui, Kaies Mhadhbi.
Simple 3D buildings
They are ofcourse not M4TR as you use the building=yes tag and you add colours, height and roof shapes.
But for more complicated buildings?
What if there is an apartment building with different colours? Am i allowed to use building:part=yes for each colour? Or is that M4TR?
Monuments
Monuments can be a little sad to just se as a square or even a node, so could i map them in 3D? That sure is M4TR, but we want to map how it is in reality. So therefore it should be allowed? Right?

At this point I’ve officially mapped out half of Bell Island, Newfoundland. Although I’m geographically halfway, the southern portion which I’ve mapped out is much less geospatially dense than the northern portion, so I’d estimate I’m about a third of the way through this project.
The ID Editor has been very intuitive so far in this process, and I have also learned a bit on how to use the JOSM editor for more specific geospatial processes. One thing I have yet to figure out is the display order of overlapping features, however I believe this is tweaked through the relations mechanic in the ID editor.
So far the minimal existing geospatial data that is present in this area has been accurate for the most part, with only slight alterations required to match the current satellite data that I’m basing my new features off of. That being said, quality varies, and it’s clear that some of these features were one-off additions by likely inexperienced users.
I think I’ll be able to keep up this mapping pace for the foreseeable future, so this project will hopefully get within the mopping up phase within a couple of months.

Belfast Maine - Little City by the Water
Hello! I have just started getting into OpenStreetMap in the last few days, I absolutely love the way it works, and love to map out different towns. I lived in the town of Belfast, Maine for many years and visit this town so it holds a special part to me.
I’ve been adding all the “Downtown” houses that aren’t mapped, they are just Address points, and different new Houses, roads ETC. I just found out last night that I can actually MERGE address points with areas for houses so it’ll speed the process up a lot for me.
I have mapped out multiple different areas in Kilmeaden, Portlaw and Kilmacthomas. Quite a bit of these areas were already mapped out so I modified and updated many roads and buildings.

This is inspired by laambda19s diary post on their mapping project, I want to document my work the same way with clear examples of before and after, adding more detail to the Bulawayo map.

I’ve suggested an updated version of the diagrams explaining the tagging of railway stations. The goal is to make them simpler to understand, especially for newcomers, without losing the core meaning.

Ao utilizar o JOSM para editar o OpenStreetMap, é essencial contar com boas imagens de fundo para garantir a precisão do mapeamento. A camada de imagens aéreas da Bing é uma das mais populares entre mapeadores por sua boa resolução e ampla cobertura.

Leaving my country, Nigeria, to attend the 2024 SOTM conference at the University of Nairobi, Kenya was a thrilling and enlightening experience for me. The whole event immersed me in the dynamic world of open mapping.

Not long ago, I realized how many local areas, both where I grew up and even some parts of Melbourne still lack proper detail on digital maps. That moment pushed me to dive into OpenStreetMap.

On the 28 of March, I just discovered that our Village is not well represented in the wikipedia map, as well as the article about our community on wikipedia is not comprehensive, as i was researching further about my local community online.
That was the beginning of my journey on openstreetmap, as I’ve decided to become a contributor to help improve the visibility of our community on the world map.
Though I’m starting as a novice as at today been the 4th of April, 2025, I’m determined to walk myself through the process of learning how to edit on open street map. As I’ve started on a self learning steps, I look forward to maybe joining a community of mappers, finding someone as a guide and becoming a full member of openstreetmap community.
