Today, we are announcing the extension of machine-generated detections to scene classes such as gas stations, toll stations, and parking lots. The scene classes will help cities and community groups speed up their mapping efforts.

August #OpenStreetMap stats in the #Philippines . Total country edits are 13% lower than July, with slightly more number of unique mappers adding #OpenData. Thanks!
Also, the #OSMaPaaralan tasks are now below 19k, with new contributors joining the leader board 🎉
Glad to see more lighthouses in the #Philippines, with a little nudge from #OSMparola mapping project.

A typo on #OpenStreetMap led to this "tower" in Melbourne, and this amazing video of attempts to land on it via Microsoft's Flight Sim game. Enjoy!
Yes, they used #OpenStreetMap to generate those maps in the game. 🎉
