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!

I haven't been to many geo events in the past four years, Geo Berlin and Maptime Berlin were my go-to choices back then 🗺️

Exciting to see some old faces and many many new ones at today ☺️

Lot's of cool little projects, anecdotes, and good vibes all around! 🍻

Does anyone know the requirements for “Type of mapper” on hdyc.neis-one.org? I remember seeing it somewhere but can’t find it. #OpenStreetMap

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

people I need you: I want to offer users the option to search for objects in a radius. the objects have a german postal code and users should put in a postal code as well. Is there any data source that will allow me to translate postal codes into coordinates? I can only find the boundary of postal_code but is there also something like the center? Or a way to calculate that?

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).

🧵 …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.
