It's interesting that #MagicEarth (a mapping/navigation app that consumes #OpenStreetMap data) now highlights their privacy policy when it's used the first time
Do you know how your data is being used by other mapping apps in your device?
Need prepaid credits for your mobile phone? This delivery biker also offers a mobile top-up service.
Well, perhaps @openstreetmap may save you some grief (and maybe some shoes.) 😉

I stumbled into a user's edits who appears to have been exclusively editing #OpenStreetMap with the awesome #Vespucci editor in the #Philippines
Now, I know I'm not the lone user of this editor here. 😆

The @openmapping_ap has assembled a tremendous team, and you can join them as a #OpenStreetMap trainer! Apply by 8 October.

One of the least known features of #OsmAnd is not that it consumes #OpenStreetMap data, but that you can get data as fresh as a few hours.
It translates to more convenient navigation and better routing.
Here's a screenshot of #OsmAnd, #OrganicMaps (a better fork of maps(dot)me) , and Google Maps of the improved intersection at Kapitolyo, #PasigCity.
Eventually, of course, other OSM data consumer apps (#Komoot, #Strava, etc.) will reflect this update, but that may take weeks or months.
Wooh! Bike boxes in the Philippines!
Here's more information about them: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/intersection-treatments/bike-boxes

What this is is more than just re-opening an intersection but a new age where streets are designed for all: Pedestrians, PWDs + children, and bikers: At-grade crossings, ramps, and bike boxes.

Heads up! @pistangmapa (Feast of Maps) conference 2021 from the #Philippines is in its last week for call for proposals. They are looking for interesting open data/tech talks - do you have one up your sleeve?

Do you know that the #OpenStreetMap #taginfo service provides an interesting chronology of tag usage?
In this particular case, the graph shows how improving documentation leads to wider use.
It's not even an "approved" tag.
That atlas open is awesome! 🤩
Also, what a lovely use of @openstreetmap

If these 38,933 cyclists — recorded in just four hours in only 32 locations of four Metro Manila cities — do not prove that there’s a need for better bike infrastructure in NCR… aba ewan ko na lang talaga.

OSM art is awesome art! This one uses the prettymaps Python library by @marceloprates_ that's based on osmnx, matplotlib, shapely and vsketch libraries.

#OpenStreetMap is going to support vector tiles soon! 💥

RT @OSM_Tech
We will start generating and hosting vector tiles in the next few months. Initially as an experiment, updated weekly. OSM planet -> http://tilemaker.org -> MVT. Further details? https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/565 🌐📡

Data highlighting movement of people on foot/bikes/"other" on an #OpenStreetMap map , from a 2021 road survey by local volunteers.
This was made in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, where all public transport options are restricted, or limited.

Next, it is not enough to get the numbers of people on bikes but understanding what it means, like movements and behavior of cyclists on our roads, is important.

Do you enjoy indoor mapping for #OpenStreetMap ?
Check out #OsmInEdit , the easiest way to map indoor features, and use imported floor plans (which, of course, has the permission to copy.)

Found a group of #OpenStreetMap contributors down in Mindanao who's been adding a lot of hard-to-find schools in Davao region. The data they've added were very helpful in identifying schools that couldn't be verified in #OSMaPaaralan.
Thanked them in changeset comments, and sent them hellos in DMs, but they appear to have stopped mapping a few months ago, just as sudden as they started. Was thinking they were part of a hyper-local initiative.
