#maproulette — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #maproulette, aggregated by home.social.

  1. as always at the last minute, but I did submit my talk proposal (#maproulette v4) for @sotm.

    If this post has you freaking out, you have until Monday midnight UTC to submit. 2026.stateofthemap.org/calls/g

  2. My favorite portion of the How Did You Contribute page is the collection of "earned" flags at the bottom. It's a bit hard to tell what you're still needing so now we have OSM Vexillophile!

    Open each region in a common editor or (if you need ideas about what to do) links out to MapRoulette, Osmose, or HOT tasking manager.

    Explore the world a bit more and happy mapping!

  14. Calling all aviation mappers! It seems that there's a good number of missing or mis-identified VORTAC beacons around the world. I've made some MapRoulette tasks to help us get it sorted out and cleaned up.

  15. Hey #Fulda

    schon vor längere Zeit erstellt, aber nun endlich gestartet: Die Supermarkt Mapping Challenge!

    maproulette.org/browse/challen

    Helft doch mit und aktualisiert die Daten eines Supermarktes! Oder zwei oder drei 💪

    Die Beschreibung in den Aufgaben sollte genug Informationen bereitstellen, um auch mit wenig Erfahrung loszulegen.

    Und falls nicht, einfach mal bei uns im Chat vorbei schauen:

  16. I've spent a bit of time getting a pipeline set up to do geometry analysis of OSM shapes. It's not that sophisticated but it can find gaga ball pits that need a sport tag! (it also works pretty well for tennis courts that need tagging)

  17. #MappyMonday with some big news to share: After discussing with Wille Marcel, creator of #OSMCha, and Martijn van Exel, creator of #MapRoulette, we decided to move OSMCha and MapRoulette from Charter Projects to OSM US Programs. This transition enables OSM US to allocate a portion of our main budget to support the maintenance and development of both projects.

  22. 💊 In #Fulda sind nun mit Hilfe von #MapRoulette 30 Apotheken in #OpenStreetMap gemappt worden💪
    Sämtliche Kontaktmöglichkeiten, die Adressen, Öffnungzeiten und Betreiber stehen zur Verfügung.

    Falls Ihr helfen wollt, noch mehr Daten in #Fulda zu aktualisieren, schaut doch einfach im OSM Fulda Projekt vorbei:

  23. I hit 10,000+ points on @MapRoulette. It's a task based/gamified way to help contribute to OpenStreetMap.

    My ten thousandth point was from increasing geometric detail and tagging depth (lit= surface= etc) to sets of tennis courts.

    Are there any tasks that currently have you hooked?

  24. If #MapRoulette had a one-box search - a single search box like you would see in any web search engine - to find a challenge or task to work on, what would you put in?

  25. Thank you to TomTom, MapRoulette supporter AND OSM US member!

    "At TomTom, we believe in the power of open-source mapping and the transformative impact it has on communities around the world. As an Organizational Member of OSM US, we are proud to continue supporting charter projects like MapRoulette. We invite everyone who uses charter project tools to express your support by donating!"

  31. No #MapRoulette Challenges reported in the past month. Did you know that you can report a challenge when you think it encourages bad mapping practices? Click the "flag" icon next to the Challenge title. We just ask that you try and make a good faith effort to contact the Challenge owner first. This is also easy to do from within the app!

  32. I've been getting more into #openstreetmap recently thanks to running #osmand on my phone (instead of using the service formerly known as "Don't Be Evil")

    #StreetComplete is pretty good for walking around and filling in missing info.

    But what if you want something more or bigger?

    Today I found #MapRoulette

    maproulette.org/

    There are challenges to update things, fix problems, solve mysteries, etc. And! They give very clear instructions on what to do.

    Today I "merged a node and an area" for the first time to make my local ponds be true bodies of water instead of dimensionless points on a #map.

  33. If you're looking for something to do in #OpenStreetMap, this #MapRoulette task is relatively easy. I made a bunch of variants on it, too, but this is the easiest of the remaining ones

    https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/50859

    I've kinda lost the motivation to work on it, especially with my Chicago sidewalk project that is perpetually at 2% done

  34. I'm not going to pretend it's great fun, but it is somewhat satisfying, so if you want to do a bit of quality control in mapping #Ireland pls join this task: maproulette.org/browse/challen

  35. Everyone has been enjoying mapping school mascot info so that calls for an actual map! Feel free to contribute icons in the repo and of course more data to the database.

    Yes that is a school that has a potato for a mascot. The fightin’ russets!

  36. Done with another round of #MapaTime socialization with university froshies, that introduced them to basics of improving #OpenStreetMap. From #Mapillary verification, #Pic4Review validation, and OSM integration through #MapRoulette. They also learned how to use iD and #RapiD for various mapping efforts of the community in the #Philippines.

    Many thanks to the continuing support of #KaartGroup, the #PUPSanJuan administration, and our hard-working #CWTS++ volunteers.

  37. Have you always wanted to work on sub-set of tasks from a huge challenge? For example, mapping #OpenStreetMap tasks in your neighborhood, for a challenge that covers a whole city.

    Now you can with #MapRoulette's "virtual challenge" .

    Not only is it easy, but you can also share your virtual challenge and collaborate with other #mappy folks.
