EN:
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
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

Don't map for render
Don't map for geocoder
Don't map for validator
Don't map for database
Don't map for Overpass
Don't map for editors
Don't map for laws
Don't map for statistics
Don't map for yourself
Don't map! Soon the AI will map it all out.

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.

This weekend I started mapping the east-of-Gillham part of 43rd St in KC. I went from Gillham to just past 71 on Saturday, and further east to Indiana on Sunday.
Pedestrian-safety observation: The crossings on either side of Gillham Park are The Worst. You can go way up or down and find a crosswalk with a light, or you can take your chances running across both-way car traffic and then both-way bike traffic without much visibility. For this entire stretch of road (and most of my outdoor activities around KC) I wear bright dae-glo jackets. I call it protective coloring.
There wasn’t much to map in this area as it was mostly homes. I crossed the bridge over Highway 71 and found a few benches and a bookcase that was locked. I mapped these, but I do not think they are being maintained anymore. There was a defunct church nearby that I think they were part of. I took photos of the various tags on the bridge and the view looking down on the highway while crossing - cool and fun for me, but not necessarily mapping-related. I also photographed a few tags painted on walls, but nothing quite rose to the level of a mural.
On Sunday I brought Mom out with me, and she made a valiant effort to keep up with the up-and-downhill walking, but we ended up quitting a bit early as she was exhausted. We didn’t have much to map until around Indiana St where we found a little strip mall with a convenience store and hairdresser. I showed her how I map the amenities around the outside such as the trash can, standing ashtray (or trashcan for cigarettes, as translated for OSM’s tagging system), the compressed air machine and attached vacuum. She had been tired from walking but perked up and urged me to also map the UHaul pickup/drop-off location. On the way back to where we parked, I also found a roadside memorial for someone who died in an accident. I had trouble deciding how to map this, as I felt it should be mapped but it was not a “cross” - it seemed instead to be centered around a solar light - so I was not sure the best way to tag it. Advice is welcome!

Slightly annoyed today when OSM navigation landed me at a path that was blocked by an official barrier for roadworks further on. I was a bit late for my goal, so I didn’t stop to take a photo, but I have just edited the path, so I hope nobody else gets sent that way in future.
