Motionsfeltet i dag artikel om Strava. #openstreetmap data om vej/sti-segmenter samt belægningstyper mm. er med til at fodre Strava slutbrugere oplevelser og rutenavigation

Så jo bedre #OSMdata jo bedre #Strava
https://motionsfeltet.dk/hvad-er-strava-og-hvorfor-er-det-fedt/

.. hvis bare en brøkdel af Stravas brugere (120 millioner globalt) bidrager med fx belægningstyper, belysning eller ej, cykelramper på trapper et par timer hver med fx @streetcomplete til #openstreetmap når de er ude

I midten af maj kommer forskerne fra Heigit - med et værktøj "Climate Action Navigator (CAN)" - hvor "bikeability" indgår (hvor god er fx en by til at cykle i) - #OpenStreetMap data indgå som en væsentlig komponent

An #OpenStreetMap contributor's unfortunate experience while field mapping in India: https://en.osm.town/@contrapunctus/114439691867451340

Every OSM contributor should always put their own safety first.

Not all jurisdiction allow citizens to map or collect geographical data (An immigration officer subjected me to an extended interview, and to remind me of the local laws, while I was clearing immigration to attend a mapping conference in India) though in this case, it seems to be somebody from the neighbourhood.

War am WE in #Köln. Navi zu Fuß mit @organicmaps einfach nur gut. Danke dafür

Cross checking #OSM IDs between #OpenStreetMap and #Wikidata with #RStats to improve data quality.

While contributing a little to #OpenStreetMap today (which you have to create an account for) I kept seeing edits from another user in my area, making me guess that they probably gotta live in the same hood as me. That made me wonder if you could use #OSM contributions for #OSINT, in particular for #geolocating contributors.

And yes, of course you can!

OSM states in their #privacy policy that email addresses are never ("intentionally") published, however your user name is public and searchable. So I gave it a little test, I picked a random OSM contributor and based on how their edits are clustered on the map I could make a reasonable guess about the neighborhood they likely live in, see screenshot below. Searching their user name on the web I could quickly identify other accounts on Github and social media, as well their OSM contributions, meaning this works in both directions.

So, while obviously I don't want to discourage anyone from contributing to OSM, I do recommend using a user name that's not easily linkable to your accounts on other websites as well as a unique email address, as you never know if there'll be a leak someday.

Das ist heute sicher der 50. #Hydrant, den ich in die #OpenStreetMap eintrage...

Man kann doch sicher eine #Overpass Query bauen, die alle Hydranten in Augsburg auflistet, die ich gemappt habe, oder?

Muss ich definitiv mal machen!

Went for a long run today through the center and then along the Bristol to Bath cycle path. Did loads of mapping with #streetcomplete for #openstreetmap and added just under 500 thing to the map.

Ich weiss ja vom @schenklklopfer dass man bei #Openstreetmap Datenpflege/Korrektur betreiben kann, dass es aber mit den Apps every door und streetcomplete lächerlich einfach ist, wusste ich nicht

If you want to help contribute to @openstreetmap then https://streetcomplete.app/ is the perfect companion on #Android to do this!

The app finds missing map data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as quests. Solve each quest by visiting the location on-site and answering a simple question to update the map.

Whilst my son was in his 40 minute swimming lesson I went and done some nearby #OpenStreetMap mapping (primarily house numbers) and got back just before he came out with near perfect timing.

A solid 24-hour sprint later -- I had to wrangle data from tables in PDFs to get a solid baseline to work with (#csv here: https://pastebin.com/JGLxQMbT) -- and I've got all of the polling stations for tomorrow's #election in Tarrant county mapped out in #osm #OpenStreetMap :D

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/23ok

I experimented a bit within the polling_station:* namespace. Thinking I might be settling into a pattern, at least for #Texas. I dunno if I want to build up explicit relations between polling places and their (typical) associated buildings/areas or not. So for now, I chucked the relation data in a tag instead.

Ideally, future elections won't be such a pain to get bootstrapped; most polling stations tend to stay the same across elections.
