#streetcomplete — Public Fediverse posts

I had a perfect weekend! #JulyRideTo100 #JulyWeekendWalking #JulyPhotoShare #StreetComplete #garminbadges #cycling #gravelcycling #walking #outdoor #openstreetmap

Supermärkte! Spielhallen! Steuerbüros! Gastronomen! Briefkästen! Hydranten! Und leider den ein oder anderen Leerstand ...
Aus schierem Bewegungsdrang und weil ein Blick in die Apps ein ganz klares "hier muss was gemacht werden!" signalisierte, bin ich heute los und habe all diese Dinge (und mehr) in das Kartenmaterial von #openstreetmaps eingepflegt.
In beinahe gänzlich unerschlossenen Innenstädten ist es ein Stück frustrierend, steht man doch minutenlang an einem Fleck und trägt Gebäude für Gebäude, Laden für Laden, Sitzbank für Sitzbank, etc. ein.
Nicht falsch verstehen: toll war es und Spaß hat es gemacht.

Intro to collective mapping by walking around Loro Piceno and editing OpenStreetMap with @streetcomplete and @CoMaps ❤️🌻

Then lunch all together in the (newly mapped) Caffetteria Da Renata 😋

I would like to become an #OpenStreetMap pro. Can anyone recommend me an #OSM mapping course? I would prefer a hands on video course but am open to other sources as well, as long as it teaches me the mapping basics. Currently, I am mostly updating existing business information and other information of already existing assets with #streetcomplete and #vespucci

👀 Any #Android #FOSS #cycling apps recommendations? 🚴

Stuff I have been using on my tours:

• #OsmAnd and #CoMaps for maps/navigation (though @CoMaps desperately needs a layer for bicycles. Edit: Issue for tracking this feature).
• #FitoTrack for recording my tours/tracks. Also tried #OpenTracks for this.
• #StreetComplete when I find something interesting to add to #OpenStreetMap.
• #BikeRouter (browser) for planning tours.

❓ Any other interesting apps I have missed and I should check out?

@futzle Somebody else mapped my dwelling in #OpenStreetMap 😢

When I decide to move, my priority will definitely be to find the area where my new dwelling is NOT mapped in OpenStreetMap.

That way, I'll have a plenty of fun mapping out my new undermapped neighborhood in all the details with #JOSM, #Vespucci and #StreetComplete / #SCEE 😄

@uneabeille That's something I'd love to do too!

I just struggle with the following specifically:

First of all, POIs are simple enough to work with for me. A POI is a single point on a map with a type and properties defined by their type. I can easily add or edit them using #CoMaps, #StreetComplete or, if I'm feeling particularly brave, even #Vespucci.

But buildings, paths and such I don't get yet. I don't really understand boundaries, relations, nodes, polygons, vectors, whatever. That's why I'm not confident enough to make non-trivial contributions.

For example, how do we canonically actually handle businesses? Is a business a POI placed on top of its building polygon on the map? Is the POI supposed to be placed in the middle of the building, or where the entrance is?

Where should information about the business go, as in, name, contact info, opening hours and such? Is the building polygon itself supposed to be tagged as, say, a restaurant? Is a POI on top of the building supposed to hold all the business information? How do we connect the POI to the building it is inside of, data-wise?

I mean, I can always look into the wiki to read the documentation. But usually, the actual implentation of my area's mapping is completely different from the documented way to do it. We have buildings tagged as restaurants, POIs slapped on top of buildings.

Therefore, there's a lot of wrong or missing data basically everywhere here.

Deprecated properties and tags, misused property values, missing or partial data, wrong data, imprecise data. Standards naturally evolve way faster than map data does.

It's so much that it sometimes feels a little pointless to clean up my local area.

Does it really matter to anyone at all if I spend weeks making sure that my neighbourhood's buildings are all correctly tagged with type, height and roof colour? That every single garden appears on OSM, even when no other garden is actually mapped in my entire city, and even some major public parks are mistagged, no bicycle lanes are mapped, and nearly no road has a surface property?

Do I really tangibly help out a single cyclist when I spend a whole day tagging cycle paths and cycle path types, surfaces and widths, when no navigation app actually makes use of any of that data, and the rest of my city is untagged?

In the end, I always arrive at the same somewhat depressing conclusion: all the data in the world is only useful if someone's making use of it.

No matter how meticulously we micro-map every detail of pedestrian infrastructure, there is no navigation app that lets us navigate to the closest bench with a backrest.

Or that navigates me only through wide, well-lit bicycle paths. Or that actually does anything with the type or location of trees in our local park.

That's the demotivating part of #OpenStreetMap for me. All that detailed data, but no practical application to make it useful. I don't feel like I'm making a difference.

It's kind of like rewriting your website to consist solely of perfect, semantic HTML. Tagging every date with <time>, every <address>, every <abbr>eviation. It's machine readable in theory, but since no browser does anything with all that data, it's completely useless.

#MappingChallenge(150/150)

Just achieved another mapping milestone and have decided to attempt another 50 weeks!

The last couple of weeks have been working on an #Orna map: https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/orna_1237959#14/48.1740/11.4173

Combining #StreetComplete and Orna has been motivating myself to get outside and do some cardio which return is helping with my #2025in2025 challenge.

Update amenities in Lochhausen and Gröbenzell, Germany (SCEE + JOSM).

We just came back from a 4h walk in #jachenau near #lenggries and #badtoelz.

I did quite some #openstreetmap / #streetcomplete additions, took some photos and clips...

It's still quite hazy, but I think it's getting better.

Trying to compile a short video later... Stay tuned.

@tho ja, ich glaube, das war der Tenor gestern beim #osm Treffen: Unterwegs mit #Streetcomplete, #everydoor oder #SCEE und zu Hause mit #josm oder #id Editor.

#OSMAnd und #Organicmaps zum Eintragen von Fehlern. #Komoot wurde noch genannt.

#Vespucci habe ich gestern nicht gehört.

@tyr @jakobmiksch

My intermediate results on @streetcomplete (plus some minor additions on @vespucci_editor ) during my trip might not be terribly impressive, but I leveled up 5 ranks in the @openstreetmap all-time score in #Portugal and entered the top 10 of this week's contributors. (which sadly was way to easy)

Heute in 150 Minuten ein ganzes Wohngebiet erfasst mit #streetcomplete (incl. #Hydranten einfügen natürlich ;-)
Jetzt erstmal aufwärmen...

Mit meiner aktuellen #Hydranten Jagd bin ich inzwischen aufgestiegen im #streetcomplete Ranking ;-)
Sind schon 226 neu eingetragene Hydranten in meiner Umgebung, mit diversen Eigenschaften zur Position, Einbauort, Bauart und Durchmesser.

Jetzt kalt, nass und durchgepustet zurück.
Auf 185 #Hydranten erhöht, einige echt versteckte gefunden da ich bei Lücken im Netz nochmal genauer gesucht habe.
#streetcomplete und #vespucci in Kombination im Einsatz. Hat wieder Spaß gemacht und 10000 Schritte sind auch noch angefallen.

Nebenbei noch 2 durch den Wind losgerissene Schilder (Zebrastreifen & Halteverbot) gesichert und der Stadt gemeldet zum wieder anschrauben.

Ich hoffe das Morgen der Orkan (bei uns eher ein starker Sturm) wirklich vorbei ist und ich dann mit meiner #Hydranten Erfassung im alten Ort fortfahren kann. Klappt bestens mit #vespucci zum Erfassen der genauen Lage und mit #streetcomplete zum einfachen und vor Allem schnellen Ergänzen aller erfassbaren Details.

Aktueller Stand: 118 Hydranten gefunden, die es noch nicht in OSM gab.

Ja, #OSM ist ein komisches Hobby, aber man ist an der frischen Luft und macht Strecke 🤠

Heute einen kleinen Orden bekommen für ein 'paar' #Feuerwehr #Hydranten die ich heute neu in #OSM erfasst und dann in #streetcomplete detailliert habe.

Das tolle Wetter für Spaziergänge mit #TTNMapper und #streetcomplete nutzen! :awesome:

War spazieren.
Ich bin einer von diesen Menschen die dabei fast immer aufs Smartphone starrt, weil ich entweder mit der #StreetComplete App Aufgaben für #osm erfülle, oder schaue was der #TTNMapper im Rucksack so mappt. 😄
