What is new on the #OpenStreetMap website? Lots! A new roughly monthly series to cover what is new: community.openstreetmap.org/t/ #OSM 🆕 🌟

OpenStreetMap Community Forum · What’s new on the OpenStreetMap website?More color, prettier links, and less swimming By popular demand, I’m starting a regular series of posts summarizing the changes taking place in openstreetmap-website – the main OSM website and API. I trawled the many merged pull requests and commits from March 16 to today, distilling them into a hopefully more digestible list. Since the community here is mostly mappers and other casual website users rather than coders, I’ve mostly focused on user-facing changes. In the future, I’ll continue pos...

One of the big differences between #Wikipedia and #OpenStreetMap is that in WP original research is banned, and in OSM, it's our gold standard!

You don't need to find 3rd party references before you can add something to OSM. “I went there and looked at it (here's a photo)” is not only the OK, but actually _better_ than (e.g.) a newspaper article!

OSM Town | Mapstodon for OpenStreetMapGrant Slater (@Firefishy@en.osm.town)Wikipedia Admins open hostility against articles on African content is draining. Again having to fight to keep an article from being deleted by a single admin. Hey dude pre-internet 1992 events are difficult to source, Africa doesn't have reams of online archives (eg: magazine, newpaper, local Hansard) from the period. #wikipedia #whybother

I've been driving an #EV for a few weeks, learning where to get charged without being overcharged. Online maps available include vehicle built-in (which I've stopped subscribing for updates, so stale), goog, and #OsmAnd. A brave new world. So far, I've installed *6* apps for charger providers (and deleted 1), and started a personal #GIS data map for local chargers. Prices and terms vary; this week found one that charges by time ("parking fee") rather than by watt.
Not on #OpenStreetMap (yet).

Blink-brand EV charging station for electric vehicles outside an office building. Grass, pavement, 2 vehicles.

Hoy he descubierto una forma de buscar información de transporte público en #OpenStreetMap, os paso capturas!

1: La capa Standard del mapa (también la veréis como Carto) tiene mucha información sobre puntos de interés pero poca sobre transporte. A la derecha tenéis un botón para cambiar de capas y podéis usar varias según vuestros intereses.

2: La que nos interesa en este caso es Transport Map, que aquí veis que muestra en rojo las líneas de transporte. Veréis que las líneas tienen escrito el código de los buses que llevan y las paradas marcadas con su nombre.

3: Al lado de cualquier nodo, podéis pulsar click derecho y seleccionar "Query features" para ver qué hay cerca de donde habéis pinchado. En este caso lo usamos al lado de una parada de autobús...

4: ... y seleccionamos la parada en el menú.

Sigue en otro toot.

OSMlanduse a dataset of European Union land use at 10 m resolution derived from #OpenStreetMap and Sentinel-2

nature.com/articles/s41597-025

NatureOSMlanduse a dataset of European Union land use at 10 m resolution derived from OpenStreetMap and Sentinel-2 - Scientific DataOur map represents the first successful large-area fusion of OpenStreetMap and Copernicus data at a spatial resolution of 10 m or finer and can be applied globally. We addressed varying label noise and feature space quality, utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced computing. Our method relies solely on openly available data streams and methods, eliminating training data acquisition or the need for additional expert knowledge for such purpose. We extracted land use labels from OpenStreetMap and remote sensing data to create a contiguous land use map of the European Union as of March 2020. OpenStreetMap tags were translated into land use labels, directly mapping 61.8% of the Union’s area. These labels served as training data for a classification model, predicting land use in remaining areas. Country-specific deep learning convolutional neural networks and Sentinel-2 feature space composites of 2020 at 10 m resolution were employed. The overall map accuracy is 89%, with class-specific accuracies ranging from 77% to 99%. The data set is available for download from https://doi.org/10.11588/data/IUTCDN and visualization at https://osmlanduse.org .

I was searching for an #googlemaps alternative for rating places but based #openstreetmap data

For example the Eifel Tower:
maps.app.goo.gl/9fxtCpPF8WB71Z

A friend told me about #mapy that does pretty the same with OSM data.
Ofc it is not used that much in comparison to gmaps:
mapy.com/s/kelazoboma

Even if this is a company driven service, I will give it a try.
Do you know about other tools to cover this part of #googlemaps ?

A bit of #unplugtrump might also be a valid reason here.

@cutterkom ich hatte mal vor einiger Zeit angefangen, Straßen in der Umgebung hier in #Wikidata einzupflegen, inkl. "connects with", "location" und anderen Statements und habe in #OpenStreetMap auch entsprechende Referenzen auf die Wikidata ID eingepflegt, was aber z.B. bei Straßen, welche aus vielen Einzelsegmenten bestehen, auch eine Heidenarbeit war.

Gibt es Tooling, was diesen Prozess weitestgehend automatisieren kann und man am Ende die Daten "nur" noch manuell validiert/korrigiert?

@ultrazool @smsm1 I used to use PlusBus tickets a lot, and probably would still in Scotland. With the Senior Railcard you get (got?) the same discount as for train tickets.

My only pain point was working out the zones. Most maps online are fairly useless, probably because they're based on the same Naptan polygons imported into #OpenStreetMap

Hey #Oakland & #Berkeley: I #georeferenced the 1852 Julius Kellersberger "#Map of the Ranchos of Vicente and Domingo #Peralta" using #QGIS. I've exported a 300dpi (zoomable) image of it with some transparency and a modern #OpenStreetMap base map, so you can see how it relates to the modern world.

I will write a blog post about it, with zoomed-in sections, but for now, a few observations:

* There are some very old roads.
* Why the streets and neighborhoods are cattywampus.
* Domingo's home (cordornices) is a landmark, as is Vicente's preserve.
* The brothers had a road between their homes, mostly gone, but traces remain. Vicente Way at Claremont Ave is the beginning.

I'll also upload a 72 dpi version here, but the useful version is at the google drive link. It's big. You might want to download it.

One of the reasons I did this was because of "Brik Kilns" at Adams Point, where the Grand Lake Theater is, now. I've been researching #bricks ...

ℹ️ So liebe Leute, die erste Version einer Darstellung aller echten, baulich getrennten Radwege in #Sachsen basierend auf #OpenStreetMap ist endlich fertig.

Konkret werden nur Wege angezeigt, die alle drei folgenden Kriterien erfüllen:

▶️ Es ist ein Weg vom Typ Radweg oder ein Weg mit Benutzungspflicht für Fahrräder oder ein Weg mit Verkehrszeichen 237
▶️ Es ist keine Erlaubnis für Fußverkehr verzeichnet
▶️ Die Wegoberfläche ist aus Asphalt oder Beton

Wie erwartet bleibt fast nichts übrig. Gerade der Ausschluss von Fußverkehr eliminiert viele Wege.

Demnächst gibt es deshalb noch mehr Bilder mit anderen Kriterien.

Hat jemand Wünsche oder Anregungen?

z.B. @ADFC_SN @Azetbur @saiki @axebos

@ultrazool I'll have to dig out my #OpenStreetMap survey photos of Doncaster & Rochdale town centres from back in 2018. Plenty of that plus rough sleepers everywhere as the shops closed for the evening.

Seen in Slab Square (Nottingham) last week.

A large graphic image of a chicken fills the glass of a shop window. Above the phrase "Finher Lickin" has four white lines (tape perhaps) crossing it out. a blue "To Let" sign is propped up at the bottom. Of the window.
