That looks really cool

Right now I create a note "so and so business operates at this address" but is there better way to do this? [Using Streetcomplete]

My partner and I love having live location sharing, it's the main feature of Google Maps that we loathe leaving behind. Is there anything in the OSM ecosystem that replicates it?

So far I found OsmAnd's tracker, which I think works by sending location updates through a Telegram backend or some such?

Is there anything else out there? Anyone else using a feature like this?

Hi,

Following the Gulf of Mexico nonsense.

Why, de facto default map, doesn't show names of lakes, seas, oceans, etc.?

Repo: https://github.com/ciupava/maptcha_dev

I didn't make this I just wanted to share here before I add it to my weekly urbanism roundup newsletter https://urbanismnow.com/

When mapping buildings, I'll switch between the ESRI and Bing satellite maps, since they both offer different "freshnes" and clarity, depending on the area.

However, when I use my official municipal or regional websites, they have ESRI maps that appear to be quite a bit newer.

Is the licensing different across different ESRI imagery sources, or could I use the more updated one as a guideline?

EDIT: I think I found my answer from the official OpenStreetMap Wiki:

" Esri is a corporate member of the Foundation."

~~"Esri allowed the usage of Esri World Imagery (and its variants) in OSM mapping, without restrictions and requirements. Even attribution is not legally required."~~

~~This is wonderful news! Having satellite images from only a few months ago, rather than a few years ago, is a game-changer!~~

So this might have been overly optimistic. There may be additional licensing restrictions on variants outside what's available in the OSM editor.

I keep seeing this in edits, but where can you view this "Lyft-owned street-level imagery"??

Even searching for it comes up with nothing.

I'm sure this has been asked thousands of times, but how do I view the map extracts offline? (.osm and .pbf) Is there a (native) app I can use? Can't find any clear information.

WIP

Hi, not sure about the english word. How do I map such a passage for water under a road?

Neostumbler has has a huge update! Better maps, higher scan interval, customizability!

It is an app to contribute to open geolocation through wifi, cell towers or bluetooth beacons. This is faster, energy efficient, resilient and can be fully anonymous.

The database is beacondb.net and can already be used!

Neostumbler can be installed via

• accrescent
• Obtainium with the repo URL
• F-Droid
• IzzyOnDroid (same as Github releases, quicker updates)

OSM site and data stopped loading in Northwest Russia on all networks I connected to.

Wonder whether it's something on OSM's end or if Roscomnadzor is not minding collateral damage as always.
