Last year, #OpenStreetMap volunteers added and/or validated 12,824 schools in the #Philippines, helping complete the first phase of the #OSMaPaaralan project. A more challenging second phase is progressing slowly for harder tasks.

Watch out for another public mapping challenge soon, now that the community was granted formal government permission to use another dataset for OSM.

No mention of #OpenStreetMap , and yet several of entities mentioned actively use and/or support OSM. 🤐

GIS enthusiasts, I think this might help someone. This sums up the Geospatial data ecosystem pretty well and it might come in handy at some point in your projects or career.

#OverpassTurbo for querying #OpenStreetMap data has a new look, and it seems to perform much faster now 🤩

Is the #Pic4Carto project dead? 😞 The old demo URL the I occasionally use for micro-mapping for #OpenStreetMap no longer shows anything: https://projets.pavie.info/pic4carto

In the local language, "Inuman" is a drinking spree with alcoholic beverages. 🍻

Perhaps, this is where you're schooled with the basics. 😆

Random find in #OpenStreetMap. 😅

In light of the aftermath of #OdettePH (aka Rai), #heigit is reminding the community of #openstreetmap data users in the Philippines that their #OpenRoute instance for disaster management services updates every 10 minutes and available at https://disaster.openrouteservice.org

You'll find a streeet in San Juan called "P. Guevarra" (sic), supposedly to honor Pedro Guevara, a Filipino soldier, journalist, and legislator.

Most people won't probably know who that person is, nor care, when local governments don't even bother to spell their name correctly.

Only shows how big #GoogleMaps has become, where a government agency "asks" them to modify their features, and whose users "pay" for the "free" map by becoming targets for advertisers

P.S.
Many of these cycleway maps are available for Free #OpenStreetMap 😜

The Department of Transportation says their bike lanes have pavement markings, physical separators, solar-powered road studs, and thermoplastic paint.

Do you know of the JOSM Strava Heatmap #Firefox extension [0] ? In the latest version, it's now easy-peasy to load configurable #Strava layers in #JOSM or the #ideditor , with a Strava account.

Check out their github repo [1] for more details.

Hey #OpenStreetMap JOSM users.

Is there any way for JOSM to remember the state of shaded windows (minimized to just the titlebar) between restarts?

It's annoying to roll-up windows everytime I launch JOSM. 🤐

"DRRMO", in the Philippine context, is an acryonym for the tongue twisting " Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office". The government agencies responsible for disaster risk reduction, planning, and response.

You'd find a number of #OpenStreetMap usernames that includes that acronym, but they don't appear to be mapping actively. 🤔

Apart from using OSM as a bas emaps, I wonder how else the majority of them participate?

Now that
@drewdaraabrams
has elaborated on this, perhaps this should be re-worded as: #GoogleMaps ends up using #OpenStreetMap data 😁
