The map tiles are greyed out and have less contrast then before. Unfortunately there is also no switch setting for normal mode.

Now I use the Mozilla Dark Reader Addon to increase contrast again. Makes the experience of osm.org in dark mode much better.

It's a good idea to create a more decentralized solution to share your parkour spots.

Unfortunately osm.org does not support custom POI lists.

The german OSM community is hosting a Umap service, where you could create a custom POI map. (https://umap.openstreetmap.de/en/)

The map can then be shared and the POIs can be downloaded as gpx, kml or similar file. This file can then be imported into any Map Apps.

For the photos.. If you get the permission to put these under a Creative Commons License, then you can upload them to Wikimedia. Then put the link into the description of the POIs in the Umap

Unfortunately most of the species tagged trees are mass imported and not mapped by a real mapper.

I try often to map species or genus but there is no good mobile app for this task yet.

And here is the chart to follow the progress:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree#chronology

We should see a saturation arround 3 trillion trees. (1)

You can easily help achivieving this goal by reworking natural=tree_row and adding single natural=tree into natural=wood areas :) I know, some say this is discouraged, but we really need to map EVERY TREE!

The person to the right?

Sometimes I even think about adding a Google Maps Link to POIs, because of Reviews. The reviews helping a lot to know what to expect from a POI before visiting them.

Thankfully there is no established tag yet.

The most annoying thing when adding POIs with Osmand for me is, that the POIs are disappearing when uploaded.

The POIs are only coming back after map update which takes couple of days or weeks.

That means its impossible fix an error on the new POI. Another editor needs to be used then. I use Vespucci in these cases.

How is the connection between OpenStreetMap POIs and Mangrove Reviews? How does a map user find the reviews for a specific POI?

I was checking out https://mangrove.reviews and it seems that it is using Name+GeoCoordinates to identify an POI.

@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?

While StreetComplete is very careful with the quests, my experience with SCEE was much worse. As an example, with current SCEE 58.2 the building color quest is still buggy. The brown, black and white choices are showing wrong colored illustrations.

Therefore SCEE is not a recommendation for me.

True! And the "Chronic" feature on www.openstreetmap.org is not really helpful for searching deleted nodes.

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

 

Blitzer.de Pro App is the bestseller App in German Play Store. The Update now features OpenStreetMap Slippy Map to show crowdsourced speed cameras, constructions, road closures and traffic jams. The App even has an OpenStreetMap based Navigation System.

1 Million people in Germany can now see and use OpenStreetMap Data in their App. This is a huge success and a breakthrough for OpenStreetMap adaption.

Unfortunately the app does not mention the Copyright yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

I stumpled upon an unmaintained list of used shop=* tags for Germany. Link: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Germany/Shops

Since there is https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org there is no need to have this page anymore, which is not updated since several years.

Anybody knows how to delete a page?

 

In Desktop Mode there are plenty of free and open source games available, which can be manually added to Steam Launcher.

Hi all,

the firefox clone Fennec from F-Droid uses way to much storage.

I was not able to clean it. I am also very afraid of loosing history and stored passwords.

Anybody knows how to savely reduce this? The big storage must be caused by cached Images and or Videos, right?

 

Edit: Change title to 1.19.0 since 1.19.1 is not yet suggested

 

This can save you some time when opening the OSM Website.

Also links to coordinates or objects can be shortened like https://osm.org/relation/62422

Unfortunately Mozilla-based browsers do not save the osm.org in history.

 

A collaborative effort to name every color in the RGB/web space.

 

The German chapter of OpenStreetMap, FOSSGIS e.V., has voted unanimously to a commitment providing annual financial support to the OpenStreetMap foundation. This is a first-of-its-kind decision for an OpenStreetMap local chapter, reflective of the German OSM community’s relatively large size and financial resources, as well as its strong commitment to the OSM project.
