Someone on the @openstreetmap forum tries to make The Map™ better for people with impairments and asks for input from/by those people (because there are a lot of abled people mapping the world and they don't always understand).
Maybe YOU are better suited to give insights so head on over to https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/more-osm-for-visually-impaired/114200
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 #OSM editor?
I reprojected each image to fit the grids to a cylindrical map projection. Then I did the same reprojection with an identical but ungridded image. Fitting them together gave me this initial map.

“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#OSRapidMapping#engineeringgeology#remotsesensing#UAV#drone#survey#UK#England#UAS#aerial#usecase#efficiency#podcast @OS
Sharing etymological roots in pairs is particularly true when it comes to the word for "raspberry": For example, Lithuanian avietė & Latvian avene. it comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *áwis "sheep", because to them, raspberries resembled sheep.
