Safe Routes to School is a program designed to help parents encourage their
children to walk and bike to school safely, while promoting healthy engagement.
In some locations, walking or biking to school is a childs only means of getting to school.


About 99% of supplements have garbage in them like seed oils, starch, citric acid or other fillers because most people are too ignorant to read the ingredients labels, let alone realize that ultra-processed pseudo-food is harmful for them in the first place.

I wonder if there is some tag for a nutrition supplements store to state that they offer clean supplements with just one ingredient, just like vegetarian tags, except focused on health rather than ethics.

Maybe diet:raw=* could somewhat apply?




For a while, I was interested in understanding what makes one pedestrian OSM way better than another. I wanted to know if there is some generic way to identify good walking routes from OSM data. I looked at Garmin and Strava heatmaps at first.


I mainly edit OSM based on GPX files from my runs. I use JOSM. I created a simple script to extract a buffered area around my GPX files to make sure I dont accidentally edit parts of OSM I dont intend to. See this Github Gist for the source.



I started mapping in 2021 as I tried to ride every street in Brooklyn, NY on wandrer.earth. I kept finding private streets and other issues on OSM and began fixing them.


The seriousness with which the OpenStreetMap community approaches discussions is a true strength of the project. Over years of debate, the community has formed a highly cohesive tagging system for names.



Today, I continued my journey as an OpenStreetMap contributor by actively participating in humanitarian mapping through the HOT Tasking Manager. During this session, I focused on mapping basic features such as buildings and road segments using satellite imagery.

This experience helped me better understand the importance of accurate data in supporting humanitarian efforts, including disaster response and community planning. I paid close attention to data quality, proper tagging, and alignment with OpenStreetMap mapping guidelines.

Through this contribution, I strengthened my familiarity with the OSM editing tools and improved my confidence as a mapper. I also gained valuable insight into how collaborative mapping enables volunteers from around the world to support vulnerable communities with reliable geospatial data.

I look forward to continuing my contributions, improving my skills, and participating in more humanitarian mapping projects in the future.


Jovita Fuentes Javellana, age 82, of Acworth, GA, passed away on Thursday, February 7, 2019. She was born on June 24, 1936 in Iloilo, Barotac Nuevo in the Philippines to Angelina Agudo and Nicolas Fuentes. We call her by her name, Betty.



im sooo new plssss what can i benefit from this, i needddd this to help me for the future and stuff idk


Model buildings along the grid, after each grid add accessible parking and crosswalks, levels, addresses, alltheplaces, and wikimaps, then adjust roads and add streetside and zoning. I will later add lanes

add street lamps, check sidewalks, and add street signs and fences

add businesses ect.

survey area to find missing details

add neighborhoods to Evansville, each added once that neighborhood is complete

add neighborhoods to Newburgh, likely no borders only points


In disasters and other connectivity outages, people on the ground often see road blockages, landslides, bridge damage, or other map-relevant changes before reliable Internet access is restored.



Occasionally, I simply scroll through the map on openstreetsmap.org.
A year ago, I became aware of the area around Sa Pobla, a Spanish town on the Balearic island of Mallorca.


Not everything in the woods needs a map, and not everything needs to be publicly accessible online. Enter the woods, make your own maps, and share them with the friends that are willing to conserve and enjoy the land as they should.


Starting in 2026, I slightly adjusted my daily routine, particularly around my weeklyOSM-related activity. Instead of passively consuming updates, I began actively scanning for news by lurking in several regional OSM online groups.



At SOTM EU I gave a demo of how to use the OSMF vector tiles with custom tiles for detailed information on a feature. In the demo I showed walls, focusing on the material of the walls.


I fell down the rabit hole, learning about OSM, in order to port the map into a video game called Farm Simulator. They suggested I just rip it, and add what I want unsaved before I port, then realized I might as well just contribute to this neat open source database! I actually find it quite satisfying, and hope I’m helping. I’m not sure how long I’ll stick around, but I’m already at the max contribution…


The weather’s not been great around here, so I’m keeping myself busy (and out of harms way) by updating OpenStreetMap – there are lots of missing buildings here and there, and a few missing pathways and trails.

I’ve been focusing on the Ely, Caeru, and St Fagans areas in Cardiff as I’ve a particular interest in their history (see my previous posts). My aim is to add more detail to the woodland areas, especially the locations of hidden historical sites and secluded trails.

There are lots of buildings throughout that also need re-aligning, with the last edit for many being sixteen years prior! I’ll continue to chip away until everything’s up to date – given the horrid weather, I shouldn’t run short on time!


I’ve been editing and modifying things on OpenStreetMap for about a year now, which is just insane to me!

I had never thought I’d make it to this point. At first, I was trying to modify a village and make it look a little better, but now, I can modify a lot of places.

If I showed my account to myself a year ago, he wouldn’t believe me.

Of course, this is still not my job. I’m still incredibly busy with life, which might make it harder for me to modify things on this platform, but I still enjoy my time here!

Thank you, guys, for reading this! I really appreciate your time here!

Peace.

e.g. A place called “FooBar” should show up when you search for “Foo Bar”, or “Foo & Bar’s” should appear for “Foo and Bars”.

Note the space, ampersand, and apostrophe which may affect a search engine but are not pronounced in spoken English.

Is there a tag that the search engines pick up where I can put those variations? I notice that CoMap’s search engine is pretty good, but the search on openstreetmap.org is a little more strict.

এই ম্যাপিং কার্যক্রমে রাজশাহী জেলার বাগমারা উপজেলার নাগা বাজার এলাকাকে কেন্দ্র করে মাঠপর্যায়ের তথ্য ব্যবহার করে OpenStreetMap হালনাগাদ করা হয়েছে। এতে নাগা বাজারের নিকট অবস্থিত একটি ইসলামি শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠান (মাদ্রাসা), অবস্থান ও প্রাসঙ্গিক ট্যাগ যুক্ত করা হয়েছে, যা স্থানীয় শিক্ষার্থী ও পথচারীদের জন্য সহায়ক হবে।



Today, uBlock Origin detected 2 trackers. There was an attempt to fingerprint my GPU by extracting canvas data. What is going on, OSM? Is this why I’ve been donating you my free time? Maybe you’re not so better than Google after all…


A Mapathon has been organised for Saturday 21st February 2026 from 11am to 1pm in Belfast. Pizza will be provided at QUB Geosciences building on Elmwood Avenue behind the Student’s Union. Numbers are limited to 30 attendees.



Ive dabbled with overpass turbo on and off for maybe a year now, but I feel like Ive just now started to get a better understanding of how it works.
Ive been using it to find hikes that can lead to ruins or abandoned places:



I joined the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team with a simple interest in mapping, not fully aware of how profoundly it would shape my personal journey and the growth of the OSM Kenya community.
