Offset speed limit signs: am I mapping this correctly?
  • @sven @openstreetmap I think the tagging you're showing *should* be fine, but as I think the :forward and backward tags aren't as widely supported I'd put the lower speed as a generic maxspeed for that bit of road as well. That way simple software will default to the lower limit and more sophisticated software will use the correct one.

  • Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?
  • @pineapplelover @openstreetmap
    That thread has a top answer with a grand total of one vote on it, I wouldn't take it as consensus on anything.

    Concrete that is poured in one piece usually has visible lines. They're placed there after the fact or when the concrete is wet to control how it cracks as it settles. That doesn't mean it's separate plates. The cuts normally aren't full depth.

  • Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?
  • @pineapplelover @openstreetmap
    They would usually be poured in one or two slabs with the joints added to the wet concrete or cut later.

    If it looks like an impossible mould would me needed it's more likely to be pre-fab and lifted into place later.

  • Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?
  • @pineapplelover @Tyoda @openstreetmap

    The ones on the wiki have visible lifting points.

    They might also have visible alignment issues or evidence of moulding at the seam or corners.

    I don't know if @geomob are running anything in the US these days. @OpenStreetMapUS might have events that interest you?

    IDK it it's been edited but the main page is showing the correct link, but the preview is wrong for me on en.osm.town.

  • Does OSM support City Guides and custom pictures in them?
  • @infeeeee @openstreetmap
    Yes I was.

    In the current state they are useless for showing the images, but it might be better to keep them temporarily and use the changeset information to contact the original 'uploader' and see if they'd be willing to upload via e.g. @MapComplete (who have a @panoramax instance now).

    iD should not be allowing the creation of these so I think someone should open a bug report if it isn't already fixed.

  • @infeeeee @lukstru @openstreetmap
    That looks like something that should work in an HTML <img > tag, but doesn't. Maybe it has been truncated?

  • @palitu

    It does have QuickOSM, but its only pre-made style is a bit rudimentary.

  • @maltfield @palitu
    As I understand it Maeritive does a decent OSM based map really easily.

    QGIS can only do it after a tonne of work.

    Now that StreetComplete has overlay layers for places and things you can add most of the thing you'd want to add in person.

  • StreetComplete vs Organic Maps
  • @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap

    I know the author has already mentioned it, but MapComplete.org might be a good site to look at if you're just starting and have local knowledge of an area. I know in my early days mapping that just looking at a list of map features would remind me about places that I've know about forever and never thought to put on a map. The MapComplete themes might have some obvious omissions that you can fix quickly.

  • @Mwa @joostjakob

    Apple Maps uses OpenStreetMap data in some countries.

  • Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • @yetiftw @ILikePigeons

    IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn't do offline navigation. Don't know if that's still the case.

    Organic Maps does the routing on the device.

  • Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • @MigratingtoLemmy @101 @openstreetmap

    No, this is against Google TOS and OpenStreetMap policy on data sources and the Data Working Group will step in and block any accounts doing this to protect the project as a whole.

  • StreetComplete vs Organic Maps
  • @als @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap

    I suspect that's because if you read the post it looks like OP is a beginner and not an experienced editor.

    Vespucci, JOSM and level0 aren't getting mentioned either because they aren't the best starting points.

  • What's up with Overture Maps?
  • @thibaultmol @unknowing8343 @openstreetmap

    Maybe, but they also seem to be making intermediate standards to make it easier to wean themselves off OSM.

    It's not clear yet if that is actually a goal or a side effect.

  • Preferred way to map landuse=residential?
  • @BitSound @openstreetmap
    There is no real reason to break things up block by block unless the blocks have unique names or something. It's also a pain to edit when the areas have been glued to the roads.

    So yeah, leave them big.

  • StreetComplete vs Organic Maps
  • @SomeAmateur @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap
    I think in its usual setting StreetComplete uploads as soon as you make it (if you have an internet connection). It can also be set to upload when you reach WiFi or manually.
