The mapping of AEDs in Flanders is of poor quality. These last years I improved and corrected it. Mapping AEDs without mapillary is setting death traps. For this conviction I received insults, stupid comments and proposals. We were a few hundred AEDs away from total coverage. I wanted to update OSM with notes asking for mapillary from the monthly official list. The community did not want this. But that is not all.
When I have mapped an AED perfectly the mutilation begins. They snap it to the wall, they add tags that they cannot explain. They make the mapillary key unusable. By doing so, they make my maintenance work difficult. This is also sad for the few good men who mapped well.

For those who have been following my daily progress on Mastodon, here is the summary.

First 50 days

During the first 50 days I was mainly doing the challenge remotely, which can seen quite well that a lot of mobile apps are present.

Second 50 days

It’s time to review a little of what I did during this year, one of the main was to participate in SToM22 in Florence you can read more about it here during this year I also learned a lot and I could help in the importation of the buildings in Fortaleza, and without a doubt this year was the year that I used JOSM the most even against my will.

It has been a big challenge trying to keep me motivated to continue with my work in OSM I have been dedicating myself day and night and it is hard to stay motivated all this time, during many days this year I thought about giving up and I feel that many of you who are reading me may have already felt like that but our work is like ants that in the end added up we make a big difference! and I really feel that every day OSM has received the recognition it deserves.

Statistics

• 214.398 buildings mapped
• 19.811 Km of roads mapped
• 21.957 Places of interest mapped
• 6.446 Km of rivers mapped

Projects

This year I tried to organize myself better and diversify my contributions by not only focusing on my state but on corrections in Brazil as a whole but I ended up being called to contribute to the import of buildings in Fortaleza which has been a pleasure.

I gathered some statistics about usage of the website and tiles in 2022Q3.

I looked at total tile.osm.org usage, tile.osm.org usage from osm.org itself, osm.org visits, and osm.org unique visitors.

Here’s the data for the top 20 countries.

country	osm.org tile requests	total tile requests	Website visits	Website unique Visitors

The Goal

While working through some edits in Indonesia I noticed object with the key “nama”. A quick search revealed that this in Indonesian for “name” and the objects can very likely be modified to use the standard English. I wondered, how common is this? Is it easy enough to track down?

The Plan

As a test run I picked 4 tags: name, building, source, type. These show up in TagInfo in abundance and I’m sure there are lots of other good candidates.

Next step is to get usable translations. It turns out Google Sheets has a GOOGLETRANSLATE function that takes a word and will return translations into various languages. I pulled in the two letter language code list and built my sheet. After eliminating all languages that Google Translate didn’t support and all languages with non Latin characters I was left with ~80 languages to check.

The last step was to pull usage information. Fortunately for me TagInfo has an exceptionally well documented REST API. Fifty lines of C# later and I had my results.

The Results

Clicking through a few of these in TagInfo reveals some more likely candidates for cleanup.

I’ve been working with the Mapillary team through my job at Kaart. In the process, I’ve been stepping up my Mapillary contributions quite a bit. Here’s a recent capture on the way back from an afternoon of skiing!

source: Mapillary

A recent-ish new feature (on iOS only for now) is Mapillary Missions. Missions focus on specific areas where there’s particular benefit to OSM in capturing new(er) imagery, for example because there’s potentially high POI density, or the existing images are stale. Individual missions are small, usually around 300-400ft along one street. Here’s a few in my area:

Some time ago we prepared a website that allows you to easily add AED (Automatic Defibrillators) locations to the OSM database. The website is available at: https://openaedmap.org We would like as many people as possible to use it. That’s why we want to remove as many barriers to using this website as possible.

We would like to ask for help in translating into other languages. Translation is done using: Weblate

If you want to add new language beside adding translations here create an issue in GitHub https://github.com/openstreetmap-polska/openaedmap-frontend/issues site uses a list of language to display in navbar.

I’m still “obsessing” about crannógs. There are now 205 mapped in Ireland and the UK with site_type=crannog. The timing is unfortunate with the proposal about changing site_type=crannog to archaeological_site pending, but I have been delayed for so long; I did not want to wait any longer. I’m adding disclaimers to every video to keep watching out for tag changes…

Five parts of a mini series about crannógs are planned, two of them have been published on my channel already, one will go public next Saturday.

I have created a page on the wiki mentioning some of the sources for finding crannógs, and I’m basically covering all the options in these videos.

• Mapping Kilkenny’s only crannóg
• Mapping a Time Team Dig - Llangorse Crannog (Wales)
• Mapping a crannóg found in the School’s Collection (duchas.ie) (Co. Mayo)
• Mapping a crannóg from excavations.ie (Co. Westmeath)
• Mapping a crannóg from WikiCommons (this will most likely be an example from Scotland, because there are hardly any photographs from Ireland)

I’m hoping to gather some interest from historians and archaeologists in OpenStreetMap with this. Long shot…

The Issue

A common tagging mistake that I’ve encountered a few times is putting the addr:housenumber into the name field. Data of this type tends to be old so it seems the modern tools do a better job keeping this kind of edit from happening. However, when you do find this issue there’s usually a lot of objects to clean up which can be a bother without the right tools.

Finding objects

Here’s the overpass query I’ve used a few times that provides a reasonably stating place:

/*
This has been generated by the overpass-turbo wizard.
The original search was:
“"name"~"^[0-9]" and "building"”
*/
[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “name~/^[0-9]/ and building”
  way["name"~"^[0-9]"]["building"]({{bbox}});
  relation["name"~"^[0-9]"]["building"]({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Update! User marczoutendijk from the Discord server has provided this overpass query that does a great job finding more instances if this with low noise:

(
  node["name"~"^[0-9]+$"]["addr:housenumber"~"^[0-9]+$"]["brand"!~"."]["shop"!~"."]["amenity"!~"."]["highway"!~"."];
);

The Cleanup

The easiest workflow I’ve found it to load the area into JOSM and run a search with some more specificity. Here’s the search for any building way that has a name tag with numbers at the beginning and doesn’t have an addr:housenumber tag:

name~"^[0-9]+" and building=* and type:way and -"addr:housenumber"

Or for names that are up to 3 numbers and nothing more (ex: 7,25,123):

name~"^[0-9]{1,3}" and building=* and type:way and -"addr:housenumber"

Or a name that represents a range of housenumbers (ex: 12-16):

name~"^[0-9]+.[0-9]+" and building=* and type:way and -"addr:housenumber"

Once you have the right set of objects selected, the tag editior will let you rename the “name” tag to “addr:housenumber”. I like to do a spotcheck or values in the name tag to make sure there’s nothing surprising and then the changes can be uploaded.

I do actually map

Background

Passionate on earth science and open data and that courage and motive burst my enthusiasm and help me to enroll Bachelors of Geomatics Engineering just after my +2 level. I find this university academic course more interesting than i expected before. Firstly I got to know about the OSM when i was in the first semester of my engineering life through the campus Organization and attend my first ever session on OSM and find it was so interesting. At that time due insufficient network and lack of own knowledge i only start OSM continuing mapping since 2021 but introduced about OSM was since 2019. After engaging so many volunteering work and webinars, mapathons and training sessions, i got chance to do different project at KLL and guidance from the professional mapper helps me a lot to sharp my skills and i am getting more and more interested to mapping.

Later on, I joined Data Quality Intern at HOT from Oct 2022 for 3 months and this is really helping to find better way of controlling data quality and QA tools and so many.

Surely, you’ve heard Elon Musk is trying to save / sabotage Twitter (choose the correct answer).

It led a bunch of people to flee from Twitter and discover Mastodon.

Never heard of Matodon ? “Mastodon is free and open-source software for running self-hosted social networking services. It has microblogging features similar to the Twitter service” says Wikipedia.

Open source culture is increasing day by day in Turkey. In this way, many platforms and associations have been established in the field of open source and data. Many of them organize events, workshops and studies in their field. Websites or social media accounts have been added to reach them. If there is an association, organization or platform you would like to be added to, please get in touch. (It is constantly updated.)

I want to do a study of parking lot areas vs. property taxes lost and nearby population density. So I have been working through the Houston Heights adding parking lot polygons. I may try to finish up the building outlines south of 11th street while I’m at it.
