Pietervdvn :mapcomplete:

A small Belgian NGO has collected data about bicycle parkings, but they now want to import their bicycle parking data into

Care to help a bit? It is a big game of geo-sleuthing ;)

It can be done by:

1. Open mapcomplete.org/velopark
2. Search a yellow icon - it is a bicycle parking to import
3. Figure out if it still exists and where exactly it is located
4. Link or create a new bicycle parking
5. Update attributes

Rinse and repeat! Happy mapping and thanks for helping!

@pietervdvn niiice... i'll have a look ... to be honest the edition UI isn't really clear... i'll think about a clearer ui 🤔

@pietervdvn is it intentional that the 'sidebar' is taking up most of the viewport instead of being a sidebar? part of me thinks if this could hinder with people looking around on the map to check other parkings nearby

@thibaultmol Yes. As you might now, the Velopark-theme was commisioned, and this is how they wanted it, so 🤷

@pietervdvn I do sure miss OSM Conflator / CF Audit days where this was just one click per parking, with all the data presented on screen...

Conflation Audit screenshot. Title says, "Update tags on a point". By tags, it's a Shell fuel station, already mapped on OSM. It proposes to add three tags: brand=Shell, opening_hours=24/7, and a phone. There are three buttons: "Good", "Don't Change", and "Skip". To the right, there are two maps: one with an OSM background, and another with Bing imagery. On both there are two markers very close to each other: green and faint blue.

@CjMalone The mapcomplete-velopark theme uses MapRoulette as backend to keep track of the tasks

@zverik @pietervdvn this would be a cool way to use Overture POIs like get the phone and email info and merge into OSM POIs

@zverik Looks interesting as well, but a stretch to let MapComplete handle this as well.

@pietervdvn is this an official import/organized editing? Only asking because I saw recently some people groaning and moaning about MapRoulette to verify or add crosswalks being accused of breaking norms and rules of that, but seems it's the same workflow

@pietervdvn
How is step 3 done? Do you need to be on site?

Pietervdvn :mapcomplete:

@InsertUser In the best case, yes! However; that is very hard to do. In practice, I usually inspect current aerial imagery, check old imagery if the area has changed and have a look to mapillary. That is often enough to figure out what the current situation is.

And I sometimes had cases where someone actually added a picture with mapcomplete before :)
