@feonixrift IMO it depends on what you want to do. I find StreetComplete to be good for certain things.

Vespucci can certainly do everything possible.

There's still a lot of benefit in learning #OpenStreetMap. Have you seen this software from an #OSM company for doing neural nets for detecting things from aerial imagery?

#HelpTshedyMap
Long time, and super active mapper Tshedy will spend next Friday on a 24 hr one woman #OpenStreetMap mapathon, to bring the map of #Lesotho to the next level of completeness.
An hour of your time mapping, or cheering on, can help.

@btcprox Bummer. If the basics of the area are already mapped (e.g. streets) you can use them to add PoIs ("There's a pub at this cross roads")

I'm getting ideas of things to do with #OpenStreetMap replication services. Custom, filtered replication sites... 🤔

@61 it was one of those "#OpenStreetMap will never take of unless it has $FEATURE" 😂

#OSM has been around for years, we're doing pretty well thank you very much

@61 @lesbianhacker #OpenStreetMap can never be finished. 🙂 We can only get more and more complete. We're always including more things to map, and things change (about 5 to 10% per year I think?)

@lesbianhacker yes "streets" were often an initial priority, but it was popular with cyclists since the start (that quote is from an OSMer who's been around since the start). So OSM has always had a "not just car" aspect

@61 Sounds like this person should use MapProxy, or just run their own tile server...

"What you appear to be saying is that #OpenStreetMap doesn’t provide motorist-centric features like “real-time traffic maps”. As someone who thinks the world would be a whole bunch better if there were fewer cars, I’m good with that. "

@InsertUser @karlos I think it's directly in #OpenStreetMap. There's a whole scheme for building 3D tagging in #OSM:

@lesbianhacker I know Google used to have a proper link and then rewrite the URL in JS when you clicked and send you there instead. So they could track clicks but not be obvious

@dmoonfire hehe. I've once set up an #OSM API server in dev mode, and I've often set up a tile rendering server. Hit me up if you have Qs

@61 🤷 I'm not 100% sure TBH....
