I have Opinions about conference name tags.

These name tags at State of the Map US are beautifully designed, but the name needs to be bigger! I have to get way too close to people to read their name.

Conference name tag modifications I always make:

  1. Tie some knots in the lanyard string to shorten it, otherwise nobody can see your name tag when you’re sitting at a table.

  2. Write your name on the back! Half the time your name tag will be turned around and you don’t know it.

2a. include a short-ish link where people can quickly look up your contact info!

Cyclistes, connaissez-vous les possibilités des outils basés sur le projet pour le cyclotourisme ?

On en donnait un petit aperçu grâce à @jeanneavelo en 2021 :

Silly question, but is there a https://LearnXInYMinutes.com/ -a-like for the Overpass API query languages? The variants used by Overpass Turbo, specifically?

Are there any good software/websites that let you add notes to a map?
I'd like to write down notes of places in China where friends live or I have visited, to help me learn the geography.

Today (3 June) is ! 🚲🚲

has always had lots of cycling enthusiasts, mappers, cartographers and devs! 🚲

JFK said “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike”, we agree but would include “or OSM mapping”. 🙂🚲🗺️🔎

2 maps are visible on OSM.org: OpenCycleMap <https://osm.org/#layers=C> and CyclOSM <https://osm.org/#layers=Y>

To find out how to map features, check out the wiki:

@openstreetmap

To improve routes used by cycling apps thst leverage #OpenStreetMap, check out the free open source app #StreetComplete so you can easily mark bike lanes, bike racks, and surface types.

In addition, you can capture images of your local bike paths with the Mapillary app, save them locally, and then upload them to panoramax.openstreetmap.fr which is the only completely open source street level imagery tool.

Been waiting in a parking lot for a while, and to kill some time I decided to open @organicmaps

Found out that a few places I could see from my car were not mapped, and proceeded to do so.

Feels good, and it's a good alternative to the "infinite scrolling" on social media! 😅

I'm looking for a friendly solution to map location (points, areas) and some additional data of trees / plants on our woodland.

Ideally it is something with a browser interface where complicated edits are done on a PC, and field data gathering is done on mobile. Ideally there's a way to include photos (no deal breaker).

20yrs ago I'd use a semi-licensed ArcGIS product. These days I am lost.

Grateful for tips! Is there for example a way to use the editor?

Fun Overpass-Turbo query for : a map of all the K2 and K6 series telephone boxes in London.

Just in case you want to take a red phone box tourist photo and the Tube is screwed or there's a marathon or whatever on and the usual toursity ones in Parliament Square/Covent Garden aren't accessible.

You can also move the map location and re-run the query to find them anywhere else (including the ones outside the UK).

Plop. J'ai qq questions :) Merci d'avance

Déjà, OpenPoiMap ne fonctionne pas. Blocage du chargement du contenu mixte actif (http dans https), sous FF.

  1. Je ne sais pas comment faire, mais bypassez vous ce système de sécurité ?

  2. Sinon pour afficher sur une zone certains POIs, comment faites vous ? (via navigateur, et pas en édition).

  3. Pour faire une séance sur le terrain, et régler quelques notes, vous utilisez quoi (android). OsmAnd ? StreetComplete ? Autre ?

Started looking at KartoView, Mapillary and Mapilio as ways to contribute to @openstreetmap KartoView log in with OSM doesn’t seem to work. Mapilio crashes when you try to record. Mapillary work quite well, then I found out it’s been bought by and now I’m not so keen. Any recommendations?

🧵 …neben im oben verlinkten Artikel zu Alternativen von Google Maps, gibt es die Apps und im Internet Tools, die auf @openstreetmap basieren. Mobile offline ist sicher OsmAnd+ sehr gut und im Internet online allgemein die Geo-Suche- und Orientierung auf @Lokjo.
