#vespucci — Public Fediverse posts

the map shows all the places tagged with diet:vegan=only on #openstreetmap.

on #android i've been using #vespucci or #scee to edit places. you can use any #openstreetmap editor that allows editing tags.

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

Ich habe eine Frage zum Korrigieren von Fehlern in OpenStreetMap.

Ich habe hier im Bezirk einige Recycling Knoten, die aber tatsächlich eingezäunte, verschlossene, private Abfallmülleimer und Container sind, die für Anwohner von bestimmten Häusern sind.

Ich habe als Vorlage Abfallcontainer gefunden, wo ich Kunststoff, Bioprodukte und Abfall angeben kann. Aber kein Papier (das geht nur bei Recycling). Wäre das der passende Knoten dafür? Oder finde ich nicht die passende Vorlage?

Recycling war meiner Meinung nach spezifisch für zum Beispiel Glas- und Kleidercontainer, die öffentlich zugänglich sind, oder?

@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.

I recorded a gpx track with #OpenTracks. Not sure if I'm missing something but I'm not seeing a way to use that track in #Vespucci. Any idea how that could work?

#OpenStreetMap

How does one express "this place closes around this time but it may be earlier or later depending on how busy it is" when updating something in Open Street Map? Something like this?

The worst offender is probably reusable_packaging:*=*. Several orthogonal schemes mashed into two tags, is it a deposit/return/pfand scheme? bring and fill your own yourself? bring and get the assistant to fill? drop off & collect filled by the staff later in the day? drop off container & pick up goods now in a container the staff already had pre-filled? They all exist, and each shop is different

I feel a preset for #JOSM and #Vespucci coming on, but it'll need some careful wording.

With StreetComplete Fork #SCEE, you can enter values manually.

And with #Vespucci, this is possible anyway.

@gedankenstuecke We could also have added #Vespucci to the #OSM editors ;) Perhaps a classification of "#Android/PC Navigation", "Fun Contribution" and "OSM Editor" would have been good. (2/2)

@openstreetmap folks: I made a JOSM preset for entering direction/destination details on street and trail direction guideposts. I've made sure it also works in Vespucci :boost_requested:

@uneabeille I'll give it another look when I next check a crossing, but I think the rotating cone thing used in this country is not offered.

(Seeing tactile minimap as an option might have been #Vespucci 's presets too, come to think of it. I'll re-check that too.)

Turns out @vespucci_editor can do this by adding the photo layer. Not the best looking interface, but it does its job. Even includes the direction, which is very helpful.

#Vespucci

@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

Eigentlich wollte an meinen Urlaubstag nur kurz was für #OpenStreetMap Mappen. Am Ende hab ich alle Lichtmasten und Mistkübel entlang des neuen Eberichparks in Ebreichsdorf erfasst. Mit #everydoorapp ging das sehr flott und für ein paar fehlende Verbindungswege war #vespucci sehr hilfreich. Dauerte trotzdem an die 2 Stunden.

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)

#foss #opensource #osm #streetcomplete #vespucci

@pelle Yes, #Organicmaps had to sacrifice some versatility in order to remain very simple to use (as its target audience are not expected to know what "OSM tags" even are - most of them are not even editors and just use the map in read-only mode for routing etc).

#Vespucci however is made specifically for OSM mappers (and more experienced mappers especially), so it can offer full power of #OpenStreetMap to you.

@mnalis

makes sense. i downloaded #vespucci and i can see the tagging options there, but they're not visible in #organicmaps.

Any #Paragliding geeks here that could help out adding `free_flying` preset to #Vespucci so that #OpenStreetMap tagging of the takeoffs and landings get easier?

#OSM #OpenSource

#Panoramax instances allow to produce pictures which can be easily integrated into #OpenStreetMap. In order to provide easily with sequences of pictures the video shows basic use of #Baba.

#Panoramax pictures are already integrated into #MapComplete, and it seems #Vespucci and #EveryDoor will integrate it as well.

Soeben bin ich auf #EveryDoor gestossen und konnte die App antesten. Mittlerweile habe ich einige #MobileMapping Lösungen genutzt und denke das ist eine weitere Ergänzung um schnell mal ein paar Objekte hinzuzufügen.
#Vespucci ist grossartig um mobil beliebige Objekte und Strukturen zu erfassen, aber langsam.
#StreetComplete wiederum perfekt um bestehendes zu ergänzen (vor allem das woran man gerade nicht denkt).
Der Ansatz von #OSMTracker war in ungemaptem Gelände ok.

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 🤠
