Mapping

  • Clay_C discussed the process of mapping pipelines using US government data, specifically from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. He outlined a detailed workflow for using JOSM to download and map pipelines within specific US counties, thereby increasing the accessibility and utility of the data for OpenStreetMap projects.
  • Wikimedia Italia has published a short tutorial on how to start contributing to OpenStreetMap.
  • The proposal for shop=tortilla is up for discussion.
  • The proposal to set the key open=* is in the voting phase until Tuesday 7 May.

Mapping campaigns

  • OpenStreetMap Belgium is hosting a mapathon on Wednesday 8 May, at 7 PM in the Muntpunt Café, Brussels, with an aim of reducing the number of open map notes in Belgium.

Community

  • Branko Kokanovic shared a detailed guide to optimising the use of the Insta360 ONE RS 1-inch camera for capturing and uploading street-level imagery to Mapillary, including tips on camera handling, video splitting, and improving GPS tracking accuracy using software solutions such as Geoapify for map matching. The images can also be uploaded to Panoramax.
  • Now that the call for contributions has closed, the State of the Map France 2024 is opening their platform for managing proposals for speakers and presentations using the ‘Pretalx’ software.

OpenStreetMap Foundation

  • The OpenStreetMap Foundation’s Communications Working Group has provided an update on how to request support for social media posts or other communications. They have provided a detailed template for submissions aimed at streamlining the process of promoting community stories and events on OSM’s official social media channels.

Events

  • FOSSGIS e.V. is currently seeking locations for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 FOSSGIS conferences. Interested parties have until Sunday 30 June to submit their applications via email, as detailed in their Call for Location document.
  • The IVIDES Institute will be hosting an online workshop on the mapping of waterways in OpenStreetMap on Friday 10 May, at which Séverin Ménard (UN Mappers/UNGSC) will be participating. The call for registration is open and details can be found on the event page.
  • The State of the Map US 2024 will be held at the University of Utah 6 to 8 June. Registration is now open and the conference programme has been announced.
  • Swiss OpenStreetMap will hold a presentation and discussion on the upcoming report from the SBB and BAV (Bundesamt für Verkehr) on use of OpenStreetMap on Thursday 2 May from 5 to 6 pm.

Education

  • Anne-Karoline Distel showed, in a short video, how you can support OpenStreetMap by capturing public notes.
  • The IVIDES Institute held an event on importing points of interest into OpenStreetMap. Dr. Raquel Souto commented about this workshop in her diary, saying that she included, as an example, a subset of the 2022 Brazilian Demographic Census’ official data.

Maps

  • The Agroecology map currently shows and describes 541 locations worldwide where ecological principles are being applied to agroecosystems. The same information is also available through an Android app.
  • bopjesvla has developed Tiny World Map, a world map designed specifically for web applications that prioritise offline functionality and operate efficiently with limited bandwidth.
  • Christoph Hormann explored potential future trends in map design within OpenStreetMap, critiquing the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s historical and current map rendering strategies. Hormann highlighted the challenges and limitations of the transition to vector tiles, which reduces operational costs but shifts a significant amount of data processing to the user side, potentially complicating map design and data management. The discussion also highlights the tension between technological efficiency and creative control over map design.

OSM in action

  • Jacek Gęborys has created several maps visualising the accessibility of railway stations in various major cities. He used QGIS with OpenStreetMap as a source for the stops, in particular with the Overpass API, which allows you to automate the fetching of data and GraphHopper for calculating isochrones.
  • The Russian OSM community has noticed that the mobile application lessy.app is using OSM data rendered in the style of Yandex.Maps.
  • euroPathfinder and Barthwo, two active mappers, took part in the seminar ‘Route 3.0 and OpenStreetMap’ at the invitation of the Saarland Tourist Board . In their blog post euroPathfinder briefly presented Thomas Froitzheim’s seminar, in which Saarland tourism experts were trained to check the correct mapping of hiking and cycling tour routes in OSM. The tools used were uMap, BRouter Web, GPX Viewer and WayMarkedTrails.

Programming

Releases

  • GraphHopper version 9.0 has been released. It comes with an improved GPX export, updated translations, many bug fixes, more route hints, and conditional access information.
  • Aerosoft and Thera Bytes have launched a new PC farming simulation ‘Global Farmer‘, which lets players build farms anywhere in the world using OpenStreetMap data, incorporating real agricultural parameters and challenges.
  • Roland Olbricht has announced the release of Overpass Version 0.7.62, including newly completed documentation on the user_touched filter and museum (attic) data, along with a detailed component overview for local server instances.

Did you know …

  • … about the tools that allow you to select a bounding box, on a reference map, through a visual interface?
  • … that the OpenStreetMap wiki has an A to Z to help you figure out how to tag objects?
  • … that the Changelog page, on the the OSM wiki, documents recent changes to tagging strategies, listing new tags that have been added, modified, or deprecated?
  • … that it is possible to create a city map with the help of OSM data? No? MyOSMatic is the solution for you!
  • … that you can generate a specially styled OpenStreetMap-based map for the purpose of surveying an area by utilising RenderMyMap?

OSM in the media

  • [1] ZDNet reviewed Panoramax, the digital commons platform, sponsored by IGN and OpenStreetMap France, which offers a free alternative to services such as Google StreetView. It features nearly 18 million terrain view photos contributed by various entities and aims to provide an open, decentralised system for sharing geolocated, ground-level photos under free licences that can be used for various applications, including urban infrastructure management.

Other “geo” things

  • Wikidata’s ‘Coordinate Me 2024’ is an international competition taking place in May that encourages participants to improve or create new Wikidata items that have a coordinate location property, focusing on a variety of countries to improve global data coverage.
  • swissinfo.ch explored the significant contribution of Swiss cartography and a Swiss entrepreneur, Samuel Widmann, to the development of Google Maps. It highlights Switzerland’s long tradition of detailed and accurate mapmaking, which laid the groundwork for the creation of global geodatabases and ultimately influenced modern digital mapping technologies. The story also details how Swiss innovations in map accuracy and aesthetics were crucial before Google acquired Widmann’s company, Endoxon.
  • Google Maps is rolling out new features with the intention of addressing the common concern of locating charging stations, which are of interest to the owners of electric vehicles.
  • Pierre Blanchet, from Meteory, has developed a machine learning model to monitor hedges across France by using aerial imagery.
  • An article on TradingView explained the concept of mapping on a blockchain and discusses its potential to improve the accuracy, privacy, and security of geographic data compared to traditional GPS systems by using decentralised methods of data verification and storage. The article does not include the obligatory xkcd cartoon.
  • ORBIS, the Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World, is an interactive tool hosted by Stanford University that simulates the logistics of travel and communication in ancient Rome. It allows users to calculate travel times and costs across various routes and modes of transportation, such as roads, rivers, and seas, based on historical data and geographic models.
  • Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland (Current height data Netherlands) provides an interactive viewer of detailed topographic data covering the Netherlands with approximately 950 billion measurements. This tool allows users to explore a high-resolution point cloud of the Dutch landscape, offering visualisation options such as height, intensity, reflections, and feature classification.

I’ve finished (for a second time!) mapping all the paths in my local cemetery. The first time another mapped decided that concrete or gravel ways designed for walking on weren’t “paths” and deleted them all. He also seemed to have strong feelings about people cycling in cemeteries, which is odd as The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust actually endorse it as a use of their land. As my daughter is buried in the cemetery I feel some ownership of the place, and do love it and Merlynston creek that flows through it. I’m hoping no one vandalises my work again.


Update: Who maps every day (without fail)?

I received a request to update my previous list of people who map every single day. The top 3 places remain the same, with Aurimas Fišeras passing the 10 year mark of non-stop mapping! Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment, and a big thank you to all of these dedicated mappers!

Trail Mapping the Foothills in Heavy Rain/Wind

Years ago when searching for a viewpoint from an old photo where I wanted to do rail photography I managed to locate the exact cliffside overlook and discovered a somewhat hidden gem of trail network in the process.

The eTrex 20x

Years ago when searching for a viewpoint from an old photo where I wanted to do rail photography I managed to locate the exact cliffside overlook and discovered a somewhat hidden gem of trail network in the process.

Though there is an official dirt road in the canyon below and a few desire paths offshooting from it the hills above remained relatively unmapped not showing up in the otherwise void of an area.

With the understatement of the local forecast for the afternoon/evening I packed my beloved eTrex 20x in the camera bag along with my trusty Nikon D700 planning to take in some of the views while there in between tracing runs expecting no more than some cloudiness and a light sprinkling.

The Overlook

I had originally planned to do some averaging as well to mark down 3 of my favorite spots on the cliff to photograph the scenery below but just as I reached the overlook the light rain that had accompanied me on most of my journey up started to thicken and become slanted. Just as I positioned myself on the side of the ledge for my first point reading spot the wind had picked up considerably to near constant 70kph gusts. The eTrex wobbled fiercely atop the perching rock and I had to scrap my plans of more photos just to hold it still for fear it may fall to it’s death below as my other hand clinged to the rockface hoping to avoid a similar fate.

After 5 minutes to allow a good average I quickly hit save and climbed back up to grab my gear bag and make my way back down the path for the second tracing run in the opposite direction to help iron out anomalies when mapping from the trace. As I set off the steadily increasing rainfall now started to turn to almost sideways hail from every direction as the many rockfaces perturbed the wind. Though hectic as it may seem the eTrex managed to maintain it’s nice 8 foot accuracy throughout most of the trip and likewise I was similarly high spirits.

In an almost serene state of mind while walking the trails my attention drew to the contrast between the dramatic weather and environment and the life which springs forth from otherwise dead plains because of it. Many cacti once shriveled from the dry winter were now stuffed with water, their beautiful flowers blooming brightly pink which would soon bear fruit. The normally tan plains dead with brush now teeming with fluorescent wildflowers of all colors in every direction. In that moment I remembered who I was when escaping here 11 years ago, hurt and tired of the chaos and sterility of the urban design seeking to hide from the world and in the process discovering a new one all to myself.

All in a day's mapping

It’s these things the fuel my passion for exploring and desire to document what’s around me, the eTrex always at my side as a faithful companion for so long now. The amount of memories and many long adventure it holds being priceless to me.

AI Generated Changeset Comments

Summary: What if AI creates the Changeset Comments? We could send locations, tag types, and quantities to get an output. AI would have to be run locally with small models for cost and be validated by the user.

Problem 1: Time I assume that 1,000 users create 2 changes in 1 day. We assume that each change set takes 3.5 seconds. 1000 users *2 changes * 3.5 seconds per change = 7000 seconds

Summary: What if AI creates the Changeset Comments? We could send locations, tag types, and quantities to get an output. AI would have to be run locally with small models for cost and be validated by the user.

Problem 1: Time I assume that 1,000 users create 2 changes in 1 day. We assume that each change set takes 3.5 seconds. 1000 users *2 changes * 3.5 seconds per change = 7000 seconds. OSM Users spend about 1.9 hours per day.

Problem 2: Skill Outsourcing Users should spend time on the things AI can’t do.

Problem 3: Server Side Peer Review We have human generated changeset comments. We could create AI generated changeset comments. We could ask the AI, “are these 2 changeset comments so different that it looks malicious”?

General AI Inputs: 1. Location: Where did the user map? 2. Feature Types: What tags did the user use?

AI Prompt: “You are an AI system. A user made edits in OpenStreetMap, a collaborative mapping project. They mapped locations[Mappleville, MN, USA; Bobville, MN, USA] with tags[50xSidewalks, 20xMarkedCrossings, & 10xReligous Areas]. You will create a changeset comment that concisely tells human reviewers what this changeset was about in 3 sentences or less. Exact numbers are not important. Changesets describe changes, so don’t request anything. Don’t mention anything that is common across all changesets.”

AI Response (https://www.meta.ai/): “Added sidewalks, marked crossings, and religious areas in Mappleville and Bobville, MN. Improved pedestrian and accessibility mapping. Enhanced local community information.”

Specific AI Inputs for Locations: 1. Cities[1 to 5], States[1 to 5], Countries[1 to 5]. 2. Is this a place with unclear boundaries? (What if somebody maps the ocean) 3. What is the size of the bounding box for this edit in KM?

Specific AI Inputs for Feature Types: Tags[1 to 6] & corresponding Quantities

Algorithms: 1. Sort the following tags by how frequently each was used in descending order and a limit of 5. 2. For each city, how often was each tag used? Create a table unless the table is huge.

Complexities of the process: 1. Disputed Boundaries: This was the changeset that changed the boarder. 2. Large Edits: Do not run this edit over changesets larger than 500 edits. 3. Malicious Inputs: Somebody named a building tag after a war crime. The AI received that as an input. What does the AI say? 4. Resource Allocation: Developer Time could be better spent doing something else. 5. Irregular Edits: I will use every tag in OSM only once. I will map an area the size of a continent.

Complexities of AI in general: 1. Uncommon Languages: Are these things only good at the 5 biggest languages? 2. Edit Safety: The user mapped religious areas in 2 different nations that share a disputed boarder and are in a war. 3. Money: Laptops with TPU’s are not common in 2024 (but will be in 2030). Mobile Editors with TPU’s are not common in 2024 (but will be on high end phones in 2030). Running AI costs money. Who will pay for it?

Solutions: 1. AI runs locally on a TPU. 2. If you use the outputs of an AI for changeset comments, you are responsible for safety.

Disclaimers: 1. I don’t work in AI. 2. I describe what I don’t have the resources to build. 3. I assume that developer resources should focus on high priority tasks.

Expected Development Difficulty: 1. Web to TPU is hard: Graphics have standard libraries (OpenGL). AI TPU’s are not common and don’t have standard libraries. 2. This can create giant tables if you are not careful.

The benefits of manual changesets: 1. Spam is harder to create in bulk. 2. Self reflection is encouraged. 3. Individuality is good to see. 4. Changesets are the alternative to the Change Approval Board (CAB meetings). It is supposed to take effort.

TLDR: OpenStreetMap (OSM) edits could be aided with AI-generated changeset comments, potentially saving users 1.9 hours daily. AI could analyze edit locations and feature types to generate concise comments, freeing users to focus on tasks that require human expertise. However, implementing AI-generated comments requires addressing complexities like disputed boundaries, TPU libraries, and malicious inputs.


Road Watcher - a simple Python bot to monitor road class changes

There are some object categories in OSM whose exact classification is often a matter of contention and edit wars. Main highways are one of the most prominent examples. There was a small edit war in Poland which resulted in no less than 4 blocks, but I did not let that crisis go to waste:

Behold road-watcher, a quick Python project that regurarly queries Overpass API for highway=sec

Behold road-watcher, a quick Python project that regurarly queries Overpass API for highway=secondary and above within a specified boundary and then detects any classification changes, sending them to a Discord channel (though it’s trivial to substitute it with another means of notification).

Warum OpenStreetMap für Hotel-SEO unverzichtbar ist

OpenStreetMap (OSM) hat sich als wertvolles Tool für viele Branchen erwiesen, darunter auch die Hotelbranche. Die Integration von OSM in die Online-Strategie eines Hotels kann dessen Sichtbarkeit und Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) erheblich verbessern. In diesem Artikel erkunden wir, warum OpenStreetMap für Hotel-SEO wichtig ist und wie Hotels von dessen Einsatz profitieren können.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) hat sich als wertvolles Tool für viele Branchen erwiesen, darunter auch die Hotelbranche. Die Integration von OSM in die Online-Strategie eines Hotels kann dessen Sichtbarkeit und Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) erheblich verbessern. In diesem Artikel erkunden wir, warum OpenStreetMap für Hotel-SEO wichtig ist und wie Hotels von dessen Einsatz profitieren können.

Erhöhte Online-Präsenz für Hotels

Einer der größten Vorteile der Nutzung von OpenStreetMap ist die verbesserte Online-Präsenz. Hotels, die auf OSM gelistet sind, erscheinen in einer Vielzahl von Map-Anwendungen und Diensten, die OSM-Daten nutzen. Das schließt beliebte Apps für Navigation und Reiseplanung ein, welche täglich von Millionen Nutzern verwendet werden. Diese erhöhte Sichtbarkeit kann dazu führen, dass ein Hotel von potenziellen Gästen leichter gefunden wird, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Buchungen erhöht.

Lokale SEO-Optimierung für Hotellerie

Lokale Suchmaschinenoptimierung ist für Hotels besonders wichtig. Wenn Ihr Hotel auf OSM gut repräsentiert ist, verbessert es die lokale SEO, da die Plattform von verschiedenen Kartendiensten und Suchmaschinen zur Datenverifizierung genutzt wird. Eine korrekte und detaillierte Darstellung in OSM hilft Suchmaschinen zu verstehen, wo sich Ihr Hotel genau befindet und welche Dienstleistungen es bietet. Dies ist entscheidend, wenn Nutzer nach Hotels in einer bestimmten Region oder Stadt suchen.

Kostenfreie und bearbeitbare Plattform

Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Kartendiensten ist OpenStreetMap kostenlos und von einer Community getrieben. Hotels können ihre eigenen Einträge hinzufügen oder bestehende aktualisieren, um sicherzustellen, dass die Informationen immer korrekt und auf dem neuesten Stand sind. Diese Aktualität und Genauigkeit der Daten ist für die SEO-Performance entscheidend. Durch regelmäßige Updates können Hotels ihre Sichtbarkeit in lokalen Suchergebnissen verbessern und sich positiv von der Konkurrenz abheben.

Integration mit Websites und Apps

Hotels können OSM-Karten auf ihren eigenen Websites integrieren, um Besuchern eine visuelle Darstellung ihrer Lage zu bieten. Dies verbessert nicht nur die Benutzererfahrung, sondern stärkt auch die SEO, indem es die Verweildauer auf der Website erhöht und die Bounce-Rate senkt. Interaktive Karten, die den Gästen zeigen, was in der Umgebung des Hotels zu finden ist, können ein entscheidendes Element für die Entscheidungsfindung der Gäste sein.

Verbesserung der Glaubwürdigkeit und des Vertrauens

Ein korrekter Eintrag in OSM kann auch die Glaubwürdigkeit und das Vertrauen in Ihr Hotel stärken. Nutzer, die eine konsistente Information über verschiedene Plattformen hinweg sehen, fühlen sich eher dazu veranlasst, eine Buchung vorzunehmen. Die Transparenz durch genaue und umfangreiche Informationen schafft Vertrauen und kann eine wichtige Rolle in der Kundenentscheidung spielen.

Fazit

Die Bedeutung von OpenStreetMap für die Hotel-SEO kann nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden. Die Plattform bietet eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit, die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen, die lokale Suchmaschinenoptimierung zu verbessern und letztendlich mehr Gäste anzuziehen. Hotels, die OSM aktiv nutzen und ihre Einträge pflegen, setzen sich in einem konkurrenzreichen Markt durch und verbessern ihre Online-Präsenz signifikant.

Durch die Nutzung von OpenStreetMap können Hotels nicht nur ihre SEO verbessern, sondern auch ein umfassenderes und benutzerfreundlicheres Erlebnis für potenzielle Gäste schaffen. Es ist an der Zeit, die Chancen, die OSM bietet, voll auszuschöpfen.

Warum ich mich für OpenStreetMap engagiere

OpenStreetMap (OSM) ist mehr als nur ein Kartendienst im Internet: Es ist eine globale Gemeinschaft, die daran arbeitet, freie und editierbare geographische Daten für die ganze Welt bereitzustellen.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) ist mehr als nur ein Kartendienst im Internet: Es ist eine globale Gemeinschaft, die daran arbeitet, freie und editierbare geographische Daten für die ganze Welt bereitzustellen. Als leidenschaftlicher Verfechter der Bedeutung offener Daten und der Gemeinschaftszusammenarbeit möchte ich in diesem Blogartikel teilen, warum ich mich für OSM engagiere und warum ich glaube, dass auch Sie es in Betracht ziehen sollten.

Freie und Offene Daten

In einer Welt, in der geographische Informationen zunehmend kommerzialisiert werden, bietet OSM eine kraftvolle Alternative: Eine freie Karte, die von jedermann verwendet und bearbeitet werden kann. Diese Offenheit fördert nicht nur Innovation und Kreativität, sondern stellt auch sicher, dass diese wichtigen Daten dort verfügbar sind, wo kommerzielle Anbieter vielleicht kein Interesse haben zu investieren. Indem ich zu OSM beitrage, unterstütze ich ein Modell, das Wissen und Ressourcen demokratisiert, was meiner Überzeugung nach für eine gerechtere Welt unerlässlich ist.

Community und Zusammenarbeit

OpenStreetMap ist das Produkt einer engagierten Gemeinschaft von Freiwilligen rund um den Globus. Diese Gemeinschaft ist vielfältig: Sie umfasst nicht nur Kartographen und Geografen, sondern auch Menschen aus allen Bereichen des Lebens, die ihr lokales Wissen einbringen. Durch meine Beteiligung an OSM habe ich nicht nur die Möglichkeit, zur Karte beizutragen, sondern auch von anderen zu lernen und dauerhafte Verbindungen aufzubauen. Diese Zusammenarbeit auf globaler Ebene stärkt mein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit und zeigt mir, dass meine Beiträge, egal wie klein sie sind, einen Unterschied machen.

Bildung und Empowerment

Die Arbeit mit OSM hat auch einen starken Bildungsaspekt. Indem Menschen lernen, wie sie Karten lesen und bearbeiten können, erwerben sie wichtige technische Fähigkeiten und ein tieferes Verständnis ihrer Umgebung. Diese Fähigkeiten sind besonders in Entwicklungsländern von unschätzbarem Wert, wo Zugang zu präzisen Kartenmaterialien das Potenzial hat, das tägliche Leben und die Entwicklung der Gemeinschaft zu verbessern. Mein Engagement bei OSM ermöglicht es mir, Teil dieses positiven Wandels zu sein.

Resilienz und Katastrophenhilfe

Ein vielleicht weniger offensichtlicher, aber ungemein wichtiger Aspekt von OSM ist seine Rolle bei der Katastrophenhilfe. Freiwillige aus der OSM-Community haben wiederholt gezeigt, wie schnell sie auf Naturkatastrophen reagieren können, indem sie aktuelle, detaillierte Kartendaten bereitstellen, die für Rettungs- und Hilfsaktionen entscheidend sind. Diese Kapazität zur schnellen Reaktion macht OSM zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug in Krisenzeiten. Indem ich mein Wissen und meine Fähigkeiten beisteuere, fühle ich mich als Teil einer globalen Anstrengung, Leben zu retten und Gemeinschaften wieder aufzubauen.

Einladung zum Mitmachen

Meine Erfahrungen mit OpenStreetMap sind durchweg positiv und erfüllend. Ich lade Sie herzlich ein, sich uns anzuschließen, egal ob Sie ein passionierter Kartograph sind oder einfach nur Interesse daran haben, Ihre lokale Gemeinde auf der Karte sichtbar zu machen. Jeder Beitrag zählt und hilft, die Welt ein bisschen besser zu verstehen und zu gestalten.

Ich engagiere mich für OpenStreetMap, weil ich glaube, dass offener Zugang zu geographischen Informationen die Welt transparenter, gerechter und vernetzter macht. Wenn auch Sie an diese Vision glauben, würde ich mich freuen, Sie in der OSM-Gemeinschaft willkommen zu heißen. Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam die Welt kartieren!

Seminar Route 3.0 / OSM für saarländische Touristiker

Am 24.04.2024 fand für die Touristiker des Saarlandes der zweite Teil eines Seminars zum Thema Route 3.0 & OpenStreetMap statt. Auf Einladung durch Klaus Wallach von der Tourismus Zentrale Saarland nahmen mit Barthwo und mir auch zwei saarländische Mapper an dem von Thomas Froitzheim durchgeführten Seminar teil.

Am 24.04.2024 fand für die Touristiker des Saarlandes der zweite Teil eines Seminars zum Thema Route 3.0 & OpenStreetMap statt. Auf Einladung durch Klaus Wallach von der Tourismus Zentrale Saarland nahmen mit Barthwo und mir auch zwei saarländische Mapper an dem von Thomas Froitzheim durchgeführten Seminar teil. Motiviert wird das Seminar durch die neue Richtlinie Route 3.0 des Deutschen Tourismusverband (DTV).

Ziel des Seminars war es, die Touristiker mit dem Konzept OpenStreetMap bekannt zu machen und zur Kontrolle der richtigen Hinterlegung von Wander- und Radtourrelationen in OSM zu schulen. Dabei konnten die Touristiker sehen, dass sehr viele der Routen bereits von fleißigen Mappern in OSM hinterlegt wurden. Im Rahmen der Schulung kamen Tools wie BRouter-Web, GPX Viewer sowie WayMarkedTrails zum Einsatz. Anhand dieser Tools können die Touristiker nun:

  • die aktuellen .gpx-Dateien bestehender Routen aus ihren Datensystemen mit den Relationen in OSM vergleichen, um fehlende oder fehlerhafte Relationen zu identifizieren, sowie
  • ohne Vorerfahrung mit wenigen Klicks .gpx-Dateien erstellen, die bei kurzzeitigen temporären Umleitungen den Touristen zur Verfügung gestellt werden können.

Die meisten Touristiker kamen im Rahmen des Seminars zum ersten Mal mit der Datenstruktur von OpenStreetMap in Kontakt. Da das Anlegen oder Modifizieren von Relationen durch unerfahrene Nutzer viele Risiken birgt, wird eine Lösung unter Zuhilfenahme der Mapper-Community benötigt, anstatt den Touristikern das recht komplexe und zeitaufwendige Thema Relationen aufzubürden.

So stellte Thomas Froitzheim auch eine uMap vor, die von der Mapper-Community der Mittelweser- und Minden-Region erarbeitet wurde und bei den lokalen Touristikern auf reges Interesse stieß. Die uMap bietet ein benutzerfreundliches Kommunikationswerkzeug, über das Fehler in Relationen gemeldet werden können, ohne dass die Touristiker fortgeschrittenes Wissen in OSM-Relationen haben müssen. So können erfahrene Mapper aus der Region die Relation basierend auf Meldungen der Touristiker, die in der uMap eingetragen werden, überarbeiten. Umgekehrt herum können auch Mapper Rückmeldungen zu Beschilderungen oder Schäden der Wege als Medien in die uMap eintragen. Diese können dann wiederum von den Betreibern genutzt werden, um die Qualität der Wege selbst zu steigern. Darüber hinaus lassen sich Gegebenheiten durch die Farbgebung optisch gut hervorheben und über den uMap-Link leicht mit den Gemeinden teilen, so Thomas Froitzheim. Es ergibt sich eine Win-Win-Situation für alle Beteiligten.

Die saarländische Mapper-Community strebt an, in Zukunft enger mit den Touristikern des Landes zusammen zu arbeiten und eine ähnliche uMap für das Saarland zu entwickeln. Es sind sehr schöne Entwicklungen, dass OpenStreetMap im Tourismus mittlerweile als Standard etabliert ist.

OpenStreetMap Belgium basemap is up to date again

The OpenStreetMap Belgium base maps have been updated! OpenStreetMap Belgium has been offering free OpenStreetMap background maps for almost 7 years now. But what are these backgrounds? Well, we turn the huge and complex OpenStreetMap data into simple images or “tiles”, that can be used in any website or app. Why are we doing this? Well, we saw that many websites use the default tiles from the open

The OpenStreetMap Belgium base maps have been updated! OpenStreetMap Belgium has been offering free OpenStreetMap background maps for almost 7 years now. But what are these backgrounds? Well, we turn the huge and complex OpenStreetMap data into simple images or “tiles”, that can be used in any website or app.

Why are we doing this? Well, we saw that many websites use the default tiles from the openstreetmap.org website. However, this server is not meant to be used in production in live projects. To make it easier to switch to OpenStreetMap, you may use our tile server for your projects. And it does get used: many municipal websites use our tiles, as do other websites such as local tourist offices. The background maps are available for free, subject to reasonable use (see https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be/wiki/Tile-Usage-Policy).

The OpenStreetMap Belgium map backgrounds come in 3 versions: a Dutch-language version, a French-language version and a standard version showing the default language. The map style is largely the same as the default on openstreetmap.org, with a few minor adaptations: zoom in on your favourite chip shop or brewery and you’ll see a specific icon!

By the way, we’re calling on anyone who would like to make the cartographic style more Belgian: we’d like to see special icons for the SNCB, pharmacies, Bpost, pelota ball courts and other local features! For this, a minimum of OpenStreetMap skills is required (e.g. knowledge of the tags used). Any member of the community can take charge of developing the cartographic style of OpenStreetMap Belgium, which is hosted here: https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be.

The OpenStreetMap data for these tiles dates from 2/4/2024. In the future, we hope to update the layers every six months.

Previously, Geo-6 provided this service to the community. As they were unable to keep this up, the tiles have not been updated in quite a while. This update - and more styles yet to come! - is provided by our partner Champs-Libres as part of their Corporate Membership commitment.

We also keep a copy of the historical versions of these tiles. You can see them via tile.osm.be or our historical map to consult the 2019, 2020 and 2022 versions.


Des fonds de carte OpenStreetMap Belgique mis à jour

Les fonds de carte OpenStreetMap Belgique ont été mis à jour! Cela fait près de 7 ans que OpenStreetMap Belgique met à disposition ses propres fonds de carte basé sur OpenStreetMap. Mais qu’est-ce que ces fonds de carte? Basés sur un serveur de tuiles cartographiques, il s’agit de cartes à intégrer dans un site web ou une application, et qui servent d’arrière-plan à une carte thématique. Pourquoi f

Les fonds de carte OpenStreetMap Belgique ont été mis à jour! Cela fait près de 7 ans que OpenStreetMap Belgique met à disposition ses propres fonds de carte basé sur OpenStreetMap. Mais qu’est-ce que ces fonds de carte? Basés sur un serveur de tuiles cartographiques, il s’agit de cartes à intégrer dans un site web ou une application, et qui servent d’arrière-plan à une carte thématique.

Pourquoi faisons-nous cela ? Nous avons constaté que de nombreux sites web utilisent les tuiles par défaut du site web openstreetmap.org. Cependant, ce serveur n’est pas destiné à être utilisé en production dans des projets réels. Pour faciliter le passage à OpenStreetMap, vous pouvez utiliser notre serveur de tuiles pour vos projets. Et c’est le cas : de nombreux sites web municipaux utilisent nos tuiles, ainsi que d’autres sites web tels que les offices de tourisme locaux. Les cartes de fond sont disponibles gratuitement, sous réserve d’une utilisation raisonnable (voir https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be/wiki/Tile-Usage-Policy).

Les fonds de carte OpenStreetMap Belgique viennent en 3 versions: une version néerlandophone, francophone et une version standard montrant la langue par défaut. Le style cartographique est celui disponible par défaut sur openstreetmap.org, avec de petites adaptations: zoomer sur votre friterie ou brasserie préférée et vous verrez une icône spécifique!

D’ailleurs, nous lançons un appel à toute personne qui voudrait davantage belgifier le style cartographique: icônes SNCB, de pharmacies, de Bpost, terrain de balle pelote et autres particularités locales! Pour cela, un minimum de compétences dans OpenStreetMap est requis (par exemple connaitre les tags utilisés), mais des membres de la communauté peuvent se charger de faire évoluer le style carto d’OpenStreetMap Belgique, qui est hébergé ici: https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be.

Les données OpenStreetMap de ces tuiles datent du 2/4/2024. Nous espérons maintenir une mise à jour semestrielle à l’avenir.

Auparavant, Geo-6 fournissait ce service à la communauté. Comme ils n’arrivaient pas à suivre, les tuiles n’ont pas été mises à jour depuis un certain temps. Cette mise à jour - et d’autres styles à venir ! - est fournie par notre partenaire Champs-Libres dans le cadre de son engagement de membre corporatif.

Nous gardons les versions historiques de ces tuiles. Vous pouvez consulter les versions 2019, 2020 et 2022 via tile.osm.be ou notre carte historique.


OpenStreetMap Belgium basiskaart is terug up-to-date

De OpenStreetMap Belgium basiskaarten zijn bijgewerkt! OpenStreetMap Belgium biedt al bijna 7 jaar gratis OpenStreetMap achtergrondkaarten aan. Maar wat zijn deze achtergronden?

De OpenStreetMap Belgium basiskaarten zijn bijgewerkt! OpenStreetMap Belgium biedt al bijna 7 jaar gratis OpenStreetMap achtergrondkaarten aan. Maar wat zijn deze achtergronden? Wel, we zetten de enorme en complexe OpenStreetMap data om in eenvoudige afbeeldingen of “tiles”, die gebruikt kunnen worden in elke website of app.

Waarom doen we dat? Wel, we merken dat veel websites de standaard tiles gebruiken vanop de openstreetmap.org website. Deze server is echter niet bedoelt om in productie te gebruiken in live projecten. Om het eenvoudiger te maken om over te stappen naar OpenStreetMap, mag je onze tileserver wel gewoon gebruiken voor je projecten. En dat gebeurt ook: veel gemeentelijke websites gebruiken onze tiles, net als andere websites zoals lokale toeristenbureaus. De achtergrondkaarten zijn gratis beschikbaar, mits redelijk gebruik (zie https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be/wiki/Tile-Usage-Policy).

De OpenStreetMap Belgium kaartachtergronden zijn er in 3 versies: een Nederlandstalige versie, een Franstalige versie en een standaardversie met de standaardtaal. De kaartstijl is grotendeels hetzelfde als de standaard op openstreetmap.org, met een paar kleine aanpassingen: zoom in op je favoriete friettent of brouwerij en je ziet een specifiek pictogram!

We doen trouwens een oproep aan iedereen die de cartografische stijl beter Belgisch wil maken: we zouden graag speciale pictogrammen zien voor de NMBS, apotheken, Bpost, pelottebalvelden en andere lokale kenmerken! Hiervoor is een minimum aan OpenStreetMap-vaardigheden vereist (bv. kennis van de gebruikte tags). Elk lid van de gemeenschap kan de cartografische stijl van OpenStreetMap België ontwikkelen, die hier wordt gehost: https://github.com/osmbe/openstreetmap-carto-be.

De OpenStreetMap gegevens voor deze tegels dateren van 2/4/2024. In de toekomst hopen we de lagen elke zes maanden bij te werken.

Voorheen leverde Geo-6 deze service aan de gemeenschap. Omdat zij dit niet konden bijhouden, zijn de tiles al een tijdje niet bijgewerkt. Deze update - en meer stijlen die nog komen! - wordt geleverd door onze partner Champs-Libres als onderdeel van hun Corporate Membership bijdrage.

We houden ook de historische versies bij van deze tegels. Je kan via tile.osm.be of onze historische kaart de versies van 2019, 2020 en 2022 raadplegen.

The SMCoSE YouthMappers Chapter, renowned as one of Tanzania’s largest mapping communities, hosted a transformative mapathon on April 14, 2024, at the esteemed Sokoine University of Agriculture. This event marked a pivotal moment of collaboration, extending invitations to other YouthMappers chapters in Morogoro, thus amplifying the inclusivity and impact of the initiative. Central to the mapathon’s objective was the concerted effort to contribute to Project #15530 within the HOT Tasking Manager, focusing on mapping cities across the Eastern and Southern Africa Region. By leveraging the power of open data, participants aimed to craft detailed base maps crucial for diverse applications, ranging from urban planning to efficient disaster response strategies.

Amidst an atmosphere described as “fantastic,” the event witnessed a remarkable accomplishment, the successful mapping of approximately 25,000 buildings. This feat not only underscores the collective dedication of the participants but also showcases the tangible outcomes of community-driven endeavors. Moreover, the mapathon served as a platform for new mappers to acquaint themselves with essential mapping tools such as ID Editors and JOSM, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to the OpenStreetMap ecosystem.

Special recognition is duly owed to the Open Mapping Hub Eastern and Southern Africa (OMHESA) for their unwavering support, notably through the prestigious Spatial People Award. This acknowledgment not only highlights the significance of collaborative partnerships but also accentuates the pivotal role of organizations in facilitating impactful mapathons and community initiatives. In essence, the event epitomized the ethos of collaboration, learning, and contribution inherent within the mapping community, further advancing the cause of open data dissemination and spatial awareness in the region.

In conclusion, the SMCoSE YouthMappers Chapter’s mapathon stands as a testament to the transformative potential of collective action in harnessing the power of mapping for societal benefit. It exemplifies how collaborative efforts can foster tangible change, driving forward the agenda of open data accessibility and spatial literacy within Tanzania and beyond. “We don’t just build maps, we build Mappers”
