  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

  3. 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!

  13. 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:

  17. 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)

  19. #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.

    Sämtliche Kontaktmöglichkeiten, die Adressen, Öffnungzeiten und Betreiber stehen zur Verfügung.

  22. 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?

  30. 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.

  34. 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

  37. 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!

  39. Rapid is awesome. I’ve been using it for most of my #OSM editing lately. Even if you don’t care for the ML layers, you should give it a try.

    Rapid is the default editor in #MapRoulette as well!

  40. @cantences Tools wie #Osmose, #MapRoulette oder #keep_right! machen diverse Prüfungen auf häufige Fehler etc.
    Diese sind auch in den gängigen Editoren wie iD, Vespucci oder JOSM eingebunden bzw. einbindbar.

  41. @lofenyy Depending what data need contributed, #MapRoulette comes to mind, of course. Others pointed it can prove counterproductive and hurt your own goals, so I want to cite #MapComplete (mapcomplete.org/) with which you can create a contribution theme without gamification. In both cases, you'll need the quest advertised (MapRoulette will list it based on its geo area, but no more than that). I'd think people truly interested in helping the homeless don't need gamification to engage.

  42. ¡WOW! 🤩 👏 La comunidad de mapeo humanitario de México identificó y mapeó en #MapRoulette los refugios temporales en menos de 2 horas, dando al Gobierno de Quintana Roo información crucial antes de la llegada del Huracán #Beryl y futuras formaciones tropicales.

  43. 🌀México recibirá el impacto del Huracán #Beryl tras el paso de Alberto. En colaboración con el Gobierno de Quintana Roo y CoMapper, te invitamos a una capacitación rápida de #OSM y #MapRoulette, y un mapatón de refugios temporales. 🏠

  44. I think I mapped most of this #MapRoulette in #OpenStreetMap. Some areas really do have shitty Satellite imagery
