Found out (the heart-breaking way) that some people think it's totally alright to actually copy from OpenStreetMap to, let's just say, Waze...

The viable alternative available at the moment is exporting tracks and view them through OsmAnd, but… yeah…

The OSMTracker for Android app has been blocked from serving Mapnik tiles 😅 so, so unfortunate.

I have plenty of tracks which I'm going to upload to OpenStreetMap, but before I do so, it'd very convenient if Mapnik map background in that app works again… looking any workarounds if anyone knows.

Eid holiday — or where the streets stopped being busy for a while.

Hey, looks like the local council decided to put up sign for most bus stops. Useful, but if and only if the public transport in both Kedah and Perlis state can be better in terms of frequency.

I believed this sign was erected quite recently.

The mystery of the actual name of the Malaysian Federal Route 1 across a particular stretch from Butterworth, Penang to Alor Setar, Kedah; is finally solved.

Will update OpenStreetMap maybe later this month.

Well, this may apply to #OpenStreetMap contributors: on both the coding and data sides.

Reckon there will be more weight for those with positions in The Foundation.

Grrrrrr... yeah, I might as well tell them to mess around with the "sandbox" first rather than saving live edits. Seriously, no validations?

Arghhhh… I'm getting a bit mad seeing Grab*Geostar mapper(s) overwriting ground truth with undisclosed data.

A certain highway can carry another (nick)name. However, I'm sticking with what is displayed on the street sign. Golden rules and all that — at least you're not making things up.

"Please respect the tile usage policy"

"Bla bla bla"

Wow, some people.

How come the Sentinel-2 download managed to fail at the very completion of the file?

On the motorcycle, collecting GPS tracks. Caveats: I usually tend to ride it on second position, so it all depends on the error (accuracy) from the GNSS receiver. Although there's only one or two occasions where the receiver went way too off, ended up on buildings.

Pseudo-flashback from 2013/2014 when I first begin editing OpenStreetMap.

Yes, only Bing imagery was available (before Mapbox chipped in to grant access to their imagery).

There was only Landsat imagery available in my place, so tracing had to be done from collected GPS traces.

(Low-end) Android devices are getting cheaper, and that helped a bit.
