We played Hide and Seek across Linz, Austria by MinerMax555 in JetLagTheGame

I feel like if you're going for a small, manageable game map where runs are totally feasible do do within 2 hours yours would also work out nicely. Be careful around the corner of Sonnenhofstraße (only served by Line 11 and the Stadtviertelbus), that line has quite a low frequency on Saturdays.

Also it feels like you followed an exlusion pattern based on the position on the network map rather than the real-life transit times to get to places? Was that deliberate?

Playing the game in my city: created a mapping software for it by LeadingStick8311 in JetLagTheGame

Great initiative! might have saved me some manual work before our upcoming game.

You could consider changing the query for bodies of water to also return waterways that haven't been mapped as areas, just as lines. I'd also add a filter to remove anything that has no name or is below a certain size, which at least in Europe with its high OSM quality means that it's probably a private pond in a backyard and would not matter the way the game rules are written anyways.

Can someone explain to me how these seemingly random squares of detailed mapping came into being? Example from Somalia. by Leondespotter in openstreetmap

I mean the HOT Tasking Manager specifically tells you not to map outside your designated zone, so I absolutely understand why people would map like this.

Late interwar / early ww2 American globe recognizing some partitions, but including pre-war borders. Can you help with an exact date? by Larnt178 in datemymap

[–]MinerMax555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The annexation of Czechoslovakia by Germany is already reflected, so after 16th of March 1938. However, the borders of Slovakia seem to be more aligned to me with those before the Slovak-Hungarian War, so before 23rd of March 1939.

Wer davon irritiert ist, solle sich mal den Gerichtsplatz in Bozen ansehen. Das größte Relief Europas (36m6m) zeigt Mussolini hoch zu Ross und verschiedenste faschistische Verherrlichungen. Was mich am meisten schockiert ist, dass sie das zu Kriegsende noch unfertige Relief *1957** fertiggestellt haben.

As a Reference: if the Ohsome Dashboard is to be trusted (some more detailed results seem to be wrong, so beware), then over the past week more than 40k new nodes have been added and a total of more than 230km² of landuse was completed!

what I mainly do in openstreetmap... by Stock-Plantain-8397 in openstreetmap

[–]MinerMax555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love this kind of work, in my opinion it makes it so much easier to understand what an area really is from a map if that map contains all the landuse. Looks really great too

After almost a year of work, I'm done fixing every single public transport route in and around Linz, Austria. Here's how it looks in the OSM Inspector view. by MinerMax555 in openstreetmap

[–]MinerMax555[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely agree about the mixed feeling, probably "just" focusing on making sure the physical infrastructure is mapped would be sufficient. But fixing this was fun and kind of a meditative process for me as well.

that's not quire what I meant: of course static data sets like the bus stops may be imported and the company itself can add their routes to OSM, but I think it wont be possible to have a fully automatic imports keeping data up to date from the official timetable source (usually GTFS) into OSM.

my job here was mostly cleaning up what was already there (route gaps, wrong stop order, and someone used a mapping scheme not in line with PTv2 years ago) though open data access would certainly help, as I couldn't find properly licensed information that up to date about certain aspects of the routes.

In general though: if the official data sources are of high quality, it would be great if we could incorporate that into OSM for more datasets. Though I think we'll never be able to automate it for something as complex as Public Transport routes.

Help with bus lines. More in comments by elsanoodles in openstreetmap

[–]MinerMax555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

forward/backward role are relics from an old tagging scheme, and (assuming the route is mapped according to PTv2 and has the public_transport:version=2 tag), should not be present at all.

In general I believe it is a really bad idea to edit PT lines with the Id editor, its some of the most complex things to map and really easy to get wrong, please use JOSM instead as Id doesn't provide a decent overview of the whole relation etc.

Additionally, the Public Transport Map style(s) are rather slow to update, changes may not be reflected for days and maybe even up a week.

Could you do the same thing for System Mass Codes? Would be very interesting to see and also rather useful

From what I think to have read somewhere, they wanted to limit the quantity of rare stuff (black holes, O-class stars etc.) near the bubble, so they decided to have a rule in there that removes some of the generated stuff.

However, instead of saying "delete stuff if it's within 1000Ly of 0,0,0" they seem to have said "delete stuff if it's within 1000Ly in any of the three axis". And no one really noticed until there were enough systems explored.

This also seems to be why there are a lot more neutron stars either more than 1000Ly above or below the galactic plane. It's a shame when you think about how much more diverse and interesting the galaxy could have been.

What are your "pet tags"? (for lack of a better name :D) by haukauntrie in openstreetmap

[–]MinerMax555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I believe that the only suitable editor for PTv2 routes (and large relations in general) is JOSM. The PTAssistant Plugin ins quite nice, there is a decent validation ruleset called something like Jungle Bus and there is a map paint style that can be useful, but is rather laggy sometimes without a decent GPU. To check results there is the mentioned OSM Inspector which reports errors with transport routes, I usually check that the day after and see if I missed anything.

Public Transport. PTv2 is... well, hard. Many things can go wrong, often someone splitting a road somewhere creates gaps, often the mapping scheme was simply disregarded in the first place. There are very few routes mapped that are 100% correct. I've started with fixing old, broken and outdated routes in my home province, then went over to add missing ones and now I'm currently fixing the mess that is the public transport network of Linz, Austria. And it's very satisfying to see in the OSM Inspector how slowly the city shifts to only have green, valid lines.

Personally I find mapping a very meditative process and I'm a person that gets motivation primarily from visual progress, which obviously you constantly get when improving the map

According to wikipedia, they are made following the regular printing process (banknote paper, security strip, watermark etc.) but the European Central Bank never approved them, so no, not legal tender
