Gregory's Server@thibaultmol @MapComplete Thanks Thibault — I think mapping is a pretty obvious ground, and if I could do that all alone (without help of others and without estonian mappers interferring and nitpicking on tagging), I'd choose OSM. But this I need not for mapping (mapping is never the goal), but for city planning.

 @richlv @thibaultmol @MapComplete It feels like incorrect use of OSM facilities. E.g. notes are about mapping, not "a pole here blocks the cycleway" or "this turn makes it impossible for bikes". And I need a clear classification of cycling roads that's not easily done in OSM, less formal and less physical, more like "here I can cycle at 30+ kph".  @zverik @thibaultmol @MapComplete Sounds like utilising the mapped infra in OSM and building on top of it with custom attributes might work - maybe @brunspeteris has some hints? :) https://facilmap.org has some collaborative map functionality, but haven't used it myself, barely found it from some bits and pieces in memory. @richlv @thibaultmol @MapComplete @brunspeteris Thanks for the facilmap link, looks interesting (and hard to find :) Technically that's what I'm planning, as you say: extract all the footways and cycleways (and lanes) from OSM, split by intersections, upload into a cloud GIS and add classifying/commenting with forms, available through a mobile app. |
@zverik @thibaultmol @MapComplete The ages old frustration of professionals with OSM not bowing to superior knowledge ;)
Perhaps the nitpicking can be used to improve data quality?
The collaborative feature you mention sound like OSM notes and changeset comments, but more powerful - perhaps JOSM plugins (possibly not existing yet…) could help?
