Arguing about railway=abandoned is so passé. Real heads argue about railway=would_have_been_abandoned

Giving a talk at 4:00 in the Bonneville room about tools we have to reconcile OSM and GNIS. If mapping with big authoratative datasets is your thing, come see me!

At my hotel and @organicmaps has the pedestrian bridge cut though! Gotta find who added it to OpenStreetMap and send a thank you.

@watmildon @organicmaps I love seeing small details on the map like that! Sometimes I'll go and compare it against Apple/Google Maps to see the difference

Summer in the United States is just around the corner. For those wanting to dine outside... may I suggest this Overpass query?

Don't worry if it's a bit sparse around you, the data is pretty easy to get added! Other great tags you can help with are takeaway, toilets, and the various diet subkeys.

@watmildon Being able to find individual water fountains, bike parking spots, benches, etc is one of my favourite features of @organicmaps ! I've taken to micromapping all the local parks in case it helps someone find a shady place to hang out on a hot day. :)

As an experiment, I have published a map of Washington State using the full and complete data dump from OSM. It has a filter functionality to find things based on the tagging and you can now click items to view entities (that's still somewhat buggy).

It's good enough that I can use it to see places to get various flavors of takeout this evening: watmildon.github.io/TIGERMap/W

It looks like speaker invites for State of the Map US are going out. Congrats to everyone who got selected and many many thanks to everyone who submitted talks!

I'll be giving a lighting talk titled "One Year of SmallTownBot" and a full talk about efforts to squeeze more great map data from the GNIS dataset.

Tickets still available. Come see us! openstreetmap.us/events/state-

In Washington State there are 2 overlapping and competing fast food chains both called Taco Time.

I spent the last few hours sorting out which is which on #OpenStreetMap and adding/correcting the brand:wikidata tags so hopefully everyone can now find their preferred taco provider.

Been really enjoying working through issues identified by @amapanda's river basin map. Specific enough to be achievable but also varied enough to stay interesting! A perfect OSM QA rabbit hole.
