Since my last anti-war post (in the broad, global, universal sense; and narrow sense of our project) had been included some comments about the dove, I've created an orthodox version a'la Pablo Picasso
Since my last anti-war post (in the broad, global, universal sense; and narrow sense of our project) had been included some comments about the dove, I've created an orthodox version a'la Pablo Picasso from 1949 😁 Whoever wants it, can use it! (I must say in general that the OSM logo is outstanding in its universality - and this magnifying glass as a symbol of search - sweetness 🍯💪 ). @[email protected] @openstreetmap

Anyone know what's going on with the cycleOSM layer (June 2024)?
I'm seeing fake roads everywhere, and the map looks like a spider's web.
It's like this on every website that displays the cycleOSM layer: the official cycleOSM site, Openstreetmap, brouter, etc.

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?

advertising=screen

[Osmand question] Graph widget elevation profile
Edit:
the problem is gone, i assume it was a buggy track.The problem exists with the versio 4.7.10, from 24.04.24, which is the version that is recommended by fdroid. It is gone in the latest one from 14.05.24I updated osmand to 4.7.10 yesterday and now it seems like the little info widget on the bottom screen shows elevation (i assume), relative to the whole track, not the 10km that are currently shown in the widget. Cannot find anything in the settings. In the what's new it said they did some changes to the graphs but i could not make sense of it.
Does anybody know how i can set it back to the way it used to be, as in relative to current section of the track?

How to map prepared and planned bus stops that are not in use yet?
Recently the city redesigned the street and prepared at least 4 bus stops. The stops all have the road markings and tactile paving, etc. but no bus stop signs yet and currently no line stops there. (There is an ongoing reorganization of bus lines in my area.)
The wiki page describes how to map a bus stop and I can follow along. Everything except the line(s) and the names is local knowledge.
How should those be mapped (if at all)? Map what’s known already and add
construction:bus_stop

Using OpenStreetMap to play the game in any location
store.steampowered.com Save 10% on Infection Free Zone on SteamChoose any real region from the world. Choose your base of operations, then rebuild and readapt the buildings around you to create a self-sustaining settlement. Take charge of a group of survivors from your city. And when the night falls - Defend the zone from the infected!
Pretty cool idea by using open street maps you can download the location you want and play the game there, defend your neighborhood or loot your house.
The reviews seem decent but mention it needs a lot of tweaking as it just released on early access, like water not affecting where zombies can walk or elevation not being a thing.
Maybe this can get some more people interested in mapping

Unmapped USA - Mastodon Bot

> Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org
I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

How to use different Nominatim on web openstreetmap

Organic Maps is available on Linux! It's on flatpak and several package repos (but not apt). I don't know how long it's been there — I just discovered it.
The splash screen cautions that this Linux beta doesn't have parity with the mobile apps yet, but it's still a huge leap over Gnome Maps. Vector rendering, so you can zoom in as far as you want, and free / open source / not shitty (notwithstanding the big scary EULA, which just contains all the OSS licenses for all the pieces).

Why do maps that use OSM as a backend have more detail that OSM?
Where is it coming from? Are there other open sources of map data?
I've seen multiple mapping websites that provide business solutions that seemed to be sourcing their data from OSM. However, when I zoom in to known problem areas, I find a lot more detail. They're not getting it from Google, Bing, or Apple, and I find it implausible that these small specialized companies are sinking tens of thousands of hours into adding fine map detail. So where are they getting it? If it is open source is there a way to merge it back into OSM?
For example this website, maptiler, cites open street map as their source. Compare it with the official site. I have found multiple examples of the same thing. Can anyone explain to me what's going on here?
