Last weekend was nothing short of magical. I had the incredible opportunity to attend my first ever global State of the Map conference in Nairobi, Kenya.



It’s really a difficult task penning down experiences that even I could not express physically, but all the same I will walk you through the mapping horizons – my journey through the incredible State of the Map Nairobi.


What an incredible three days at State of the Map Africa 2024 in Nairobi! From 6th to 8th September, I had the privilege of connecting with brilliant minds and diving deep into the latest trends shaping the Open Geospatial world. The conference offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work of the OpenStreetMap Foundation and the passionate global community driving it forward.

The sessions were nothing short of insightful. From learning about JOSM and Open Route Service to exploring the latest web version of MapSwipe, there was so much to take in. Hearing from various OSM communities across the world was particularly inspiring, with MapKibera’s presentation standing out. Their work in promoting OSM to tackle different challenges in Kenya was truly remarkable—an inspiring example of how open mapping can drive real-world change.

A special thank you to HOTOSM for granting me a scholarship to attend my first-ever SoTM Global conference. This opportunity has been unforgettable, and I’m incredibly grateful for it. And of course, a huge shoutout to the organizers for putting together such an incredible three-day event. The social events were a fantastic bonus, providing even more opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas.

As this chapter closes, all I can say is Asante sana! I can’t wait to see everyone again next year in Manila for #SoTM2025!


We can improve user experience by providing verified, detailed and relevant information to OpenStreetMap. Let’s make OpenStreetMap a little bit better every day!


Now that I’ve taken a day off after the 14-hour bus trip from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, I can finally sit and share my thoughts on State of the Map – the first time the global conference was held in Africa!!



This is a bit of an experiment on how to use this Diary thing!


9 September 2024
  • I just moved to Brooks, Alberta from Calgary.
  • After glancing at the ResultMaps page it seems like I might be the only active contributor in the area of Brooks/Newell County so that’s partly scary and partly exciting, as there’s still a lot of work to be done.
  • My first order of business will probably be figuring out why half the roads in town use an abbreviated “W” or “E” suffix as opposed to using the full word spelled out. I’ll have to work on standardizing that, although I’ll have to do some sleuthing to figure out the correct format for those.
  • I’m sure there will also be a lot of work to be done in terms of speed limits, sidewalks, stop signs, and other features that could be useful for navigation software.
  • Perhaps I’ll come back and do some editing in Calgary from time to time as well, particularly in the Taza Park area which continues to make steady construction progress.
  • I’m a busy man but love contributing to osm and hope to make some progress over the next couple of years. Thanks for reading my first diary entry~~!

The end of a thing they say is better than the beginning, but my experience with HOTOSM was nothing short of good from the start to the end.


I’m running linux as my desktop OS and couldn’t find a tool I was happy with for viewing the GPS coordinates stored in a photograph’s metadata (exif). I whipped up this quick-and-dirty shell script to do it for me.

~/.local/bin/photolocation :
xdg-open $(seq 1 4 | while read i; do exif "$1" -m --ifd=GPS -t=0x000$i; done  | tr '\n' ' ' | awk  '{printf ("%s%.6f %s%.6f\n",$1,$2+$3/60+$4/3600,$5,$6+$7/60+$8/3600)}' |sed 's/[NE]//;s/[SW]/-/;' | awk '{printf "https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=" $1 "&mlon=" $2 "#map=18/" $1 "/" $2 "\n"}')

I also made a .desktop entry so I can run it from the file manager or from my image viewer by choosing “open with…”

.local/share/applications/photolocation.desktop :
[Desktop Entry]
Name=View location in OpenStreetMap
TryExec=photolocation
Exec=photolocation %f
Terminal=false
Type=Application

For those who doesnt know, OsmAPP is trying to be the one integrated app for everyday use which runs both on web and on mobile. It should be as easy to use as Google Maps, but fully opensource with privacy in mind.



In this diary, Im going to explain how I draw buildings (and shape in general), with my tricks for doing the most precise work possible and achieving the greatest possible symmetry and alignment, but without measuring everything out either.


It was like getting back to the start point for all of us, revisiting the basics of OSM with my in-person training in Grab last June 30 for the KartaView x OSM Philippines meetup event.

BUILDINGS ADDED BY USER ZH9567 IN OPENSTREETMAP AROUND THE KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA AS OF 20 AUGUST 2024




Its been a while since I last wrote about iDs development and thought it would be a nice idea to make this a more regular thing in addition to the regular online community chats.


Introduction


Another little update. I am writing these, usually, on Sundays. Since I am still a new user of OSM I am writing these as a little how are things going. I wanted to share my experiences and ideas with the greater OSM community.

Confused


I am still doing the mapping and having a super hard time in some ways. I have a disability and if the OSM community could make the program more accessible that would be helpful to a lot of folks. I am haaving a really hard time mapping and understanding what the tools do. For instance attributes like car=wheel, just took that out of the air. I am not fully understanding the relationships and how many should be tagged and if there is a standard block of them already made up for new users. If anyone has any ideas on how to understand the relationships more please feel free to let me know.

Disability and Accessibility


I know I just mentioned that I have a challenge and I am curious what the OSM community is reaching out to folks with challenges. Keep in mind I know nothing about what OSM is or has been doing to make this possible. Its a thought I had.

GitHub


No idea what github is and I am not sure if I should use it or not. I would love to learn more about it and what I can use it for and what one cannot use it for.

StreetComplete


I am having a lot of fun doing this. Its simple yet important information. I am super curious about what happens and what the data collected goes towards after a quest is completed. Its simple yet I feel I am contributing in a small simple way.

Conclusion


Its not much but some questions and thoughts this time. Have a wonderful day!

Ask


If anyone knows of any answers to my questions, or thoughts, or people I could reachout to please let me know and feel free to DM me.



Glad I found this app so I’m able to help out, as my neighborhood is very very much out of date! Many roads are missing and names are missing for many roads on the map…. Now, if I can figure out how to actually get my note to save, or how to name a road, then I’ll be in business!! hahaha.
