y first day in mapping was sweet and exciting. I felt good to know that even small tasks I did could help improve global maps. It was interesting to discover how roads, buildings, and other features are added, and I enjoyed learning while contributing to something meaningful. That experience motivated me to keep mapping and to grow my skills further.

Lifecycle tagging is the representation of the temporal state of an object (e.g., whether it is under construction, demolished, or abandoned).

In 2025 alone I found vandalism incidents specifically targeting map of Indonesian parliament compound twice, in March and now in late August. Thankfully these are all restored.
What made me sad that some Indonesians don’t understand the OpenStreetMap at all, what they only know in their head is political activism. They do by erasing - or editing - the place of institution they despise. Not really sure if these incidents are unique to maps in Indonesia or there’s international example of politically motivated vandalism of OSM maps?

Styles for vector tiles are typically written in the MapLibre GL style language. These definitions exist in JSON, which, for various reasons, is not a good language for humans to write in.

OSM exists now since more than 20 years. During this time, a tagging scheme evolved. It has undergone several changes since, is partly approved by the community, but never anything was forced.
I once walked past a small building, spotted that its got an address, and added it to OSM. Then I walked past it again, the building had its facade updatedand the address was nowhere to be seen.
I have noticed that the Apple mapping team, in their work within Kazakhstan, consistently mismapped various highway=* ways, for example:

A few bike lanes were added in the part of town I live in (yay!) and I’d like to add them.
However, I’ve mostly been using these apps to map things: * everydoor * map complete website * go map !! (rarely)
I cant find any way in map compete to add bike lanes – they added on the street, so effectively making the space for the cars narrower. Is there any simple way of going about and adding these types of lanes?
Thanks!

Maps are far more than static illustrations; they are powerful tools that help people navigate, explore, and understand the world.

Vector Tile styles require icons are served in a sprite sheet. This contains all of the icons in one file. Years ago there were a few options for these, none of them great.
Im importing boundaries in Croatia, and Im almost done. So I wanted to describe my process so that someone else maybe doesnt have to rediscover this process. Maybe there is a better one, but I didnt find it.
When using OSMs iD editor in New South Wales, Australia, there are multiple background layers you can enable that show aerial/satellite imagery. Different imagery sources can vary greatly in terms of how recent and/or blurry they are.

I had the privilege of presenting about weeklyOSM at COSCUP 2025, Taiwans largest open source conference, held on August 9–10, 2025, at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) in Taipei.
I think people use these diaries for slightly more meaningful posts, but I just want to keep saving my progress somewhere. It took me 5 days to maping this island. I could have done it faster, but I wasnt in a rush.
Ive mapped in OSM for many years now, but more of my work and been Bike-Pedestrian related, and Ive only just come back around to mapping streets their widths and their number of lanes as a means to start evaluating crossings in our area.
