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

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 #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.

#CalTopo released a new feature this week: heading up when navigating. I'm a "North up" person myself, but maybe others like heading up.

They are releasing another new feature next week, and rumor has it that it will be photos in Markers! That would be awesome! Fingers crossed.

UAV [aka ‘Drone’] Surveying At The UK’s Ordnance Survey [podcast]

https://thegeomob.com/podcast/episode-234 <-- GeoMob podcast link

https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/how-surveying-is-taking-off-at-ordnance-survey <-- blog post on OS UAV use

H/T Doug Newcomb
[A general focus but very interesting and informative]
“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…”

photo - OS used a fixed-wing drone to fly over the coal pile on an automated flight route. A series of images were taken with the drone at precise locations across the coal which were then fed into software that ‘stitched’ them into a 3D ‘digital twin’ of the coal pile, using a process called photogrammetry.

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.

Raspberry (rubus idaeus)

Joe Davies - Data Visualization & GIS At Eurostat. Exploring New Ways Of Making Maps

https://observablehq.com/@joewdavies <-- link to a portfolio

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…
