The problem of not having an address, and ways to solve it | Support for OLC would indeed be awesome! |
|
Juno opens its GPS traces to aid in mapping New York City | Very cool! Any plans to do this for other cities as well? |
|
日本のマッパーのみなさんへ | 教えてくれてありがとうございます! |
|
OpenStreetCam sign detection code and training data open sourced | When is the Android app going to drop proprietary dependencies, though? That’s the only thing stopping me from using either OSC or Mapillary at the moment. |
|
Not Yours, OpenStreetMap | If Google incorporates OSM data, why would a regular user even care about contributing to a small project? Might as well just fix Google itself, which is what we’d all be doing. No thanks. Maps.me is beneficial to OSM not simply because of the attribution, but also because it allows users to directly improve a map that can be used and reused by all of us. |

Not Yours, OpenStreetMap | There’s a lot to unpack here but I’ll just focus on the licensing: there is no way I’m going to contribute to some permissively licensed project that is just going to get sucked in by Google and the rest of Silicon Valley. If I dedicate time and effort into this, I want it to be perpetually free for all reusers down the line. You are very wrong when you say we are hurt more than they are. Companies need to waste money on Google/Bing/TomTom maps to do what need to do; while we lose nothing since time has shown we can grow comfortably without the occasional massive imports (which are often rolled back anyway because of quality issues). |

Just found Openstreetmap | Welcome! Feel free to ask questions. |
|
Beta version of multilingual Wikimedia maps | Nice! Can’t wait for more of these. |
|
Locais onde falta mapeamento no Brasil - máscara KML para iD e JOSM | Show de bola! Parabéns pelo trabalho |
|
Nodos veganos mapeados o mejorados / Vegan nodes mapped or improved | Nice work, fellow vegan! 🌱 |
|
How I added some vending machines in a Japan city I've never visited | Very nice! Also worthy of mention is the key By the way, do you know of https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/fist.php ? Hopefully it has free sources P4C can use. |
|
Harvey's Plantation | If it’s protected by law, perhaps something like |
|
New MapRoulette challenges: Add missing Wikidata ids to cities and capitals | Great! Thanks for this. Working on some of them. |
|
Vespucci 0.9.9 beta released | Good job, folks! Don’t forget to push your Vespucci releases to F-Droid as well :) |
|
Protecting the map against Pokemon Go mappers | @Vincent: The first option doesn’t solve the fundamental problem, which is the difficulty of spotting and reverting edits in a semi-automated fashion. Wikipedia does this very well, and we’ll need to improve our tools to make this process easier, possibly inspired by their efforts. |

Pri esperantigo de mapo | Mi tute konsentas pri la ujigado, kaj ne kontraŭas al la aliaj menciaĵoj. |
|
Surfacing Wikidata objects with coordinates to match them with OSM | Nice! I hope to see more countries added soon :) |
|
[PESQUISA, PT:BR] Pesquisa sobre mapeamento colaborativo | Feito! |
|
Newcomers are welcome, even Pokemon Go mappers | I guess what we need is some robust vandalism-fighting mechanism like Wikipedia has. |
|
Cidades Brasileiras Não Mapeadas | Parabéns pelo trabalho! Vou usar isso para ajudar botar essas cidades no mapa :) |
