  "OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric youβre interested in...The story isnβt so much about the data and technology, and it never was. Itβs the people. " -- Steve Coast, reflecting on 20 years of OpenStreetMap on the OSM blog https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2024/08/09/openstreetmap-at-20/  It's time to choose the next group of board members for the OSMF.

It is NOT the best map in the world  @openstreetmap a simple filter that checks if the distance between a changed node to it's neighbours has increased dramatically should help with one type of vandalism @SomeoneElse @openstreetmap since last two versions my current location is showing with some offset. the version i got is Organic Maps version: β¦2024.06.02-11β© on ios 17.5.1. the apple apps shows correct location. any hints how to debug this?
