Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

@redd @enemenemu It uses Mapbox which has it's standard © OpenStreetMap notice. Not sure why that doesn't include the ODbL but I'm pretty sure that "our attribution notice" is permitted as just "© OpenStreetMap".
Otherwise 80% of OSM-based apps are not "credited correctly" but the OSMF is fine with it?

Why does it not load tiles on Firefox nor Librewolf?

[–] enemenemu@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you've disabled webgl

[–] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, definitively not it. It shows the sphere and even some city names, but just no background map:

It rather is that Mapbox doesn't trus my browser and gives me a "forbidden":

Guess firefox isn't corporate enough for them!

[–] enemenemu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

It works on my firefox.

Great project, but they use Google Ads and Google Analytics.

Nice! Where does it get the traffic data from? I couldn't find the information anywhere

Sadly it does not seem like open data to me. Hopefully one day we'll have open traffic data for any osm app like OsmAnd or Organic maps 🤞

Oh, yeah, no it isn't open data. This type of data is very hard to build in an open data way: people don't like to contribute privatey data and they will only use such a system if it is big enough...

Personally I just use Waze but would be great to change to a non Google owned app
