 "Traversed" 55km through Bing StreetSide, trying my best to improve OpenStreetMap data so far (started from a quite remote area which has a significant connector road) since 9 October. My quarantine will end tomorrow, so my rate of edits would be somehow moving real slow from another kilometre stone to another. Yay or nay? "Apple is sharing street name information in selected countries. We believe this data is accurate but we recommend, as with all data, that it should be verified locally. The data was derived from address data that was collected through various methods including field survey and is from 2020 and 2021. The street names were selected from the addresses near the street segments. We plan to continually update the data posted below as well, and will update the table below when we do." "This contribution is made available for use under the OpenStreetMap ODbL license." My country is on the list, probably fine for streets in residential estates. Just outside these specific areas... some gardening is required. Also, obligatory to put on a common sense cap.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
The saga continues... here's the app's description: "OpenStreet Map Editor is a powerful yet relatively user-friendly application that aims to assist you in editing portions of maps." 🆗✅ but 😡💢 at the slight incorrect mention of 'OpenStreet Map'. Grrr... "It enables you to plan ahead for a trip, for instance, and emphasize locations you need to reach." ❓🤔 Wha... (1/x) I love being on a long coach trip but the ones on nighttime, was nothing but boredom. At least I could collect/verify mapping data if it's daylight. Someone's logic twisted my brains: a picture of a map on a wall - later, guess what, street names from the mentioned map ends up in OpenStreetMap. What's next? Snaps of a definitely copyrighted atlas? "Have you seen any other mappers that are highly specialized?" Yeah. They're super cool! "Are you one yourself?" Ummmmmmm...!
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Last July, apparently due to trolling those who are really obsessed with ""conspiracy theory"" around Diego Garcia (still one of the many pieces of land colonised by Britain)... some Malaysians decided to, uh, "vandalise" Google Maps data for said island. Someone successfully put "a shelter for mourning Liverpool fans" (in Malay - ah, don't you love football banter) on the map. I guess those with an eye on the map data had a great spring cleaning later. Comparison between 2012 and 10 years later in #OpenStreetMap Thanks Ilya for this visualisation! Great news! Izzy's F-Droid repo offers the Bluetooth GNSS app too. Well, not sure if it would work without Google Play Services... https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.clearevo.bluetooth_gnss The forums will be migrated to https://community.openstreetmap.org/ which is using Discourse Wow... in the year 2022, there are still programmes using tiles with the legacy MapQuest OSM rendering?! What?! How?! There was an announcement by the prime minister this afternoon, regarding some road-related infrastructure improvement works. But apparently his prepared speech mentioned a location I've never heard before. Probably older generations knew better. I was actually looking for "Jambatan Menjalara" in my local city. Lucky me, a cursory search landed me some clues. Warning: loud audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3kJ9d7I7zs&lc=UgivCROd5sfSRXgCoAEC.8F8HSU5bXGj8l8ll0Z-Vog Node-illion (https://en.osm.town/@amapanda/108814747271052810) is near... My additions fell on the range of 9,993,000,000th node Grrrrrrrrrrrrr... I was so preoccupied with stuff! Someone from 🇵🇭 Phillipines (Mikko) dropped by over Malaysia (very likely somewhere near Kuala Lumpur) about a few weeks ago... hmmm... And also Meta's keyperson (that AI stuff thingie) might drop a visit to KL/Malacca in a month or two 🤷  (Grrr I know, Meta, but) https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=111277304901159 I guess these rubber barriers may be OK if someone decided to map as multiple carriageways |
