The Wiki documents shop=sports + sports=…;…

This makes sense, as in: “here is a sports shop which has articles for 2 types of sports.”

From list of POI to bike-optimized itinerary? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi! How would you calculate an itinerary going through 20-25 points optimized for going over there by bike?

I have a list of points of interest in a KML file which I’d like to visit, so I’d like to calculate an itinerary optimized for bike (avoiding high-traffic roads).

I was able to import it in MapQuest which can calculate and optimize an itinerary but only for a car.

I also found Brouter can calculate an itinerary for bike but it cannot optimize (and the optimal order of POI calculated by MapQuest is not ideal for a bike trip).

Also, I was able to import the POI in Brouter, but I couldn’t find how to calculate an itinerary from that (I had to click again near each imported POI on the map, which is tedious, of course).

Do you know of a good solution to this?

TIA

Introducing the mod team + open call for moderators in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Hello,

I’m Ben and my profile page reminds me I’ve been on Lemmy since the early days back in 2019 (and I need external memory, because my internal one regularly fails, as Pieter explained… 😂).

I figured back then OpenStreetMap deserved its discussion corner on Lemmy, so I went on. And there was activity but rather quiet with mainly news posts and no real discussion threads.

Meanwhile, a lot happened to Lemmy, the Fediverse, and the outside, so we’re good for more activity on here, and that’s excellent news!

I can’t really make the time to map a lot in the last years, but I keep myself interested in mapping and in the OSM ecosystem at large, so all things OpenStreetMap usually catch my interest and are open to discuss.

As a mod, I still have to discover what the duty will really impose, but I’m positive we’ll make it a nice place all together. 🎉
