New proposal on the #OpenStreetMap Wiki for voting: Unified ETCS signals tagging. 🚆🛤️
It harmonises tagging for standard ETCS marker boards worldwide, so identical stop/location/transition markers aren’t tagged differently by country. 🪧🗺️
Example tags: railway:signal:train_protection=ETCS:marker and railway:signal:electricity=ETCS:power_off. ⚡️🔌

@FK_Med @muri Vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Aber dauerhafte Sperrungen, wie bei uns im Dorf für die kommenden Monate, müssten doch irgendwie in OsmAnd eingespielt werden können. Ich hab keine Ahnung, ob man das dann in die OSM Quelle einträgt oder ob es offizielle Quellen gibt (regionale Verkehrsbetriebe), die solche Infos zur Verfügung stellen. Weiß das vielleicht jemand?

And here's my question in English: Is there any good place that does more or less the same thing as Yelp, Foursquare or Google Maps (i.e. a service that lets you discover, rate and recommend places), but based on the / and/or ?

Setting up this group for OSM mappers in Sheffield, hopefully going to be organising events and posting about them here!

Frage: Was ist der alternative Ort für Bewertungen/Empfehlungen von Orten? Gibt es da irgendwas und/oder bzw. basiertes? Ich denke da an etwas wie Google Maps, Foursquare, Yelp, etc

Isn't it a cheap excuse? I found a school

🕸️ openstreetmap.org/query?lat=27

and used it, to prepare a Overpass-Turbo query.

What it makes clear to me:

In #OpenStreetMap, every single square meter seems to be classified for #Minab, with respect to a military or civilian usage. I don't know who invests so much effort and time in #OSM and for what reason.

But IMHO: In an illegal war of aggression against #Iran, bombing near to known schools accepts the killing of children.

Screenshot of OpenStreetMap editor spotting to a school in Minab, Iran.

URL: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/951865697The Picture shows the results of an Overpass-Turbo Query for Schools in Minab, Iran, presented in an OpenStreetMap map.

The Overpass-Turbo query:
>>>>>
[out:json][timeout:25];
rel(6556102);
map_to_area -> .searchArea;
(
  node["amenity"="school"](area.searchArea);
  way["amenity"="school"](area.searchArea);
  relation["amenity"="school"](area.searchArea);
);
out geom;
<<<<<The Picture shows parts the results of an Overpass-Turbo Query for Schools in Minab, Iran, presented in an OpenStreetMap map.

The map is focused on areas, where military usage and schools are relatively near to each other, so that bombing here accepts the risk of the killing of children.  

The Overpass-Turbo query:
>>>>>
[out:json][timeout:25];
rel(6556102);
map_to_area -> .searchArea;

My comment on the OGC GERS standards proposal github.com/opengeospatial/requ

There is a lot that could be said from a technical pov and @pnorman has touched on some of them. There are more, for example if such a system even makes sense as a replacement for linear referencing for matching roads.

But the OMF is simply not an acceptable body for anything and that is where this discussion should stop.

Wer von kommerziellen Navigations- und Karten-Lösungen wegkommen will, greift meist zu Alternativen, die ihre Daten von #OpenStreetMap beziehen.

OpenStreetMap funktioniert ähnlich wie #Wikipedia, weil da viele Freiwillige in ihrer Freizeit die Daten anreichern und verbessern.

Hier mein heutiger Beitrag zum DI.Day:

Das Aktualisieren und Ergänzen fehlender Daten, wie zum Beispiel Öffnungszeiten von Restaurants oder vom Lieblingsbuchladen, geht einfach und schnell unterwegs mit der App #StreetComplete.

Das braucht nur wenige Klicks und dauert nur ein paar Sekunden. Damit trägst du dazu bei, dass andere Nutzer*innen sehen können, wann ein Restaurant oder Geschäft offen haben. Oder ob ein Ort vorübergehend oder dauerhaft geschlossen hat.

Mit StreetComplete lassen sich auch viele andere Daten ergänzen und Aktualisieren.

Infos zu StreetComplete:

Genial! Organic Maps funktioniert super!
Es zeigt alle Restaurants in der Umgebung an und auch bei fast allen Restaurants, ob sie jetzt offen haben.

Bei den fehlenden Öffnungszeiten muss nur der Datensatz bei #Openstreetmap aktualisiert/erweitert werden. Dank der App #StreetComplete geht das einfach und schnell.

Since the #39c3 in December, every first Sunday of the month has been a "Digital Independence Day" for trying out alternatives to dominant/big tech platforms.

If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!

You can learn more about the #DIDay here: edri.org/our-work/didit-edri-m
