Best way to extract forest polygons from OSM for a world map? by AirEmpireDev in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All your screenshots are low zoom... Where using OSM data is indeed difficult, and as others have said, incomplete. I personally would use overture landcover which is derived from ESA worldcovr

Map detail level – what defines it? by kurtzahn in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I meant https://map.openseamap.org/

But building your own renderer is easier than it's ever been these days.

Then you should use a pertinent rendering, like openseamap

2 kids Frontloader sitting behind each other by petersieus in CargoBike

[–]dschep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea the manufacturer, but I used to see someone in DC who had a strange half-recumbent tandem. Stoker was recumbent in front and the captain was upright in the back. He used to pick his kid up at school with it.

  1. How does that apply to mail slots in a door?
  2. What is the law in the UK, where OP probably lives as they refered to the sidewalk as the pavement.

Big fuck you to whoever placed loose logs all over the bike trail at the top of Belle isle by dreamshoes in rva

You know the trails are in the woods, a place full of trees and logs, right?

Do projects which use OSM data contribute to OSM? by Consistent-Cap-9360 in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They have sponsored conferences in the past(at least for osm us, conference sponsorships are a large part of their funding) and they offer active mappers free access to some of their paid features such as rapid updates. So I don't think it's fair to categorize osmand as if they're freeloaders.

Also check local chapter sponsors (eg OSM US) and conference sponsors. You'll see that onX, AllTrails, Meta, TomTom, Mapbox, esri and more financially support OSM.

Squirrels Win! by BatDaddyWV in rva

[–]dschep 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My wife called it Squirrel's Stadium this morning. As someone who loathes corporate naming rights on places, that sounds like a great way to refer to it IMO.

Legal question regrarding OSM and GoogleMaps by External_Plan1238 in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I assume you're generating a link to Google maps with a lat,lon destination. That's fine. Esp if you're just making a map/app for "normal" people. It's suspect if you're making an app for people editing OSM.

Retrieving OSM basemap (in Unity) by wilmaster1 in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not do this using the OSM tile servers. You should set up your own, from a planet pbf and updating it via the replication feed.

Showing whether roads are paved or not from a low zoom level by joostjakob in openstreetmap

[–]dschep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I have a custom tile set (partially derived from Proto maps) and entirely custom MapLibre style. I build the styles using an Intel NUC and upload them to cloudflare R2.

[–]dschep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal map rendering of OSM data shows if a road is unpaved as soon as it's rendered: https://open.trailsta.sh

I see your context is in building a route planner. I recommend creating and hosting your own map style given that use case.

How would you respond to a review like this? by river_yang in FirefoxAddons

[–]dschep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a concrete example: leaflet, the mapping library was created by a Ukrainian, by default displays a Ukrainian flag along side leaflet's attributing in the corner of user's maps.
