weeklyOSM is back on Mastodon! Here is our new issue Nº496 with the most recent #osm #openstreetmap news: http://weeklyosm.eu/archives/12778

So I updated the damn client a little bit https://client.damn-project.org/.

And moved procedures for communication with the server to "kind of library" file https://client.damn-project.org/lib.js :)

I will be at #FOSDEM 2020 https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/geo_damn/

Community members, what are your thoughts on OSM's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities and threats that OSM faces? Please share them on the wiki page created by @allan_mustard: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_SWOT  (you need an OSM wiki account).

The projection does a good job preserving both distance and azimuth, at the cost of really exaggerating how many South Americas there are.

I wonder if it's sufficient to tag a medical laboratory, where blood check service, for example, is provided, using just healthcare=laboratory, like this one:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7127819387

Note that it's not rendered on Mapnik. Only its house number is. And I cannot find an appropriate amenity tag to use.

ตอบเป็นภาษาไทยก็ได้ครับ Answering in Thai is also welcome.

Simple hack for #JOSM here to an everyday problem.

I was trying to reorder bus route relations. It’s a long road with a complicated layout. JOSM will show you the same name multiple times, it’s an error-prone situation.

My solution: renaming the ways by adding a prefix. Then, ordering the routes becomes quite simple.
Do not forget to restore the names before uploading the changeset.

I am sharing this story, in case it might be useful for someone.

Talking on social media is one thing, but You Gotta Do The Work. So time to continue to map buildings myself.

FIY those that miss Maxar imagery to map on OpenStreetMap, it's still available on RapiD. strange, but it is

https://www.damn-project.org/ -- it's getting damn closer.

A question from @allan_mustard got me into some mind mapping. #OpenStreetMap
