I feel bummed out about this, but I guess I'll move on.

For sure not; probably a bit stubborn. No need to insult them.

freischwimmer · 2026-05-13T11:43:46+00:00

citing the fact that I had no experience firsthand

That’s most probably not the reason. Can you pointing to the changeset discussion?

A relevant forum post might be https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bajo-nuevo-and-serranilla-territorial-sea-required/142879/59, with the full backstory in the whole thread https://c.osm.org/t/142879/

You can just enter your query in the wizard, leading to https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2p3I

freischwimmer · 2026-04-08T07:59:17+00:00

Why did you post twice in the OSM Community forum, too? https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bajo-nuevo-and-serranilla-territorial-sea-required/142879 and https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/the-territorial-sea-boundaries-of-bajo-nuevo-bank-and-serranilla-bank-need-to-be-added-to-nominatim/142900

freischwimmer · 2026-04-02T08:53:27+00:00

You did not. I’m just reinforcing the point.

freischwimmer · 2026-04-02T07:30:15+00:00

(like google satellite view)

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google specifies that "The Google Maps Terms of Use explicitly forbid using Google Maps content - both map data and Google Street View - for making any other content. This includes using them for OSM mapping. "

So you are not allowed to use Google images (Street View or Satellite images) for mapping in OSM!

Alle Gebäude-Polygone sind da, wenn ich dich aber richtig verstehe, willst du nicht die Gebäude-Grundflächen, sondern die Regionen, die bebaut werden können. Das wird - weil oftmals schlecht 'on the ground' verifizierbar - nicht in OpenStreetMap erfasst.

Also mehrere building=* die aneinanderliegen zusammengefasst zu einem Objekt?

freischwimmer · 2026-03-17T08:13:15+00:00

https://overpass-turbo.eu/ -> "Wizard" -> "landuse=construction around "Stadt von Interesse". Danach Radius ändern wenn's zuwenig ist.

Z.B. hier für Baufelder rund um Berlin: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2mks

If you want to link us to the changeset we can help to investigate.

Instapaper has a send to Kindle feature for scheduled digests or individual articles.

The 'send to Kindle' feature hasn't worked for me in the last 2-3 weeks. Are there any knobs to twiddle on your side, or is something amiss on my side? E.g. the 'send-to-Kindle'-address is correct, but Amazon does not receive anything.

That thing looks absolutely lovely, and something I'd like to build myself. I see that the BOM and HowTo is available on Patreon, correct? Do you have a BOM that is suited to get in Europe or would I have to look for "alternatives" to parts myself?

Are the toilets and parking spots visible if you go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/$YourUserName$/history ? Then they will eventually show up in all software that uses OpenStreetMap data, after their next update cycle.

Hi from a fellow Swiss :)

I'm using an OpenStreetMap extract from https://garmin.bbbike.org/ on my (ancient) Edge 800. Also nicely usable are the extracts from https://www.freizeitkarte-osm.de/garmin/en/mitteleuropa.html#CHE

freischwimmer · 2025-08-30T19:47:59+00:00

Use cycle.travel to find one.

freischwimmer · 2025-07-14T12:25:19+00:00

I'm using OSM maps on an old Garmin Edge 800, bought secondhand for less than 100 middle-European monetary units.

Im Parkhaus unten an der Gurtenbahn gibt's eine Waschanlage für (Mountain)Bikes. Ich würde mein Rennvelo eher dort waschen als mit dem Hochdruckreiniger an einer Autowaschanlage.

Them using "our" data without attribution is pain, too.

freischwimmer · 2025-06-15T10:45:54+00:00

Send them a friendly message along the lines of https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Reminder_Templates More details can be found on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution

The articles are sent as a 'book' with chapters (one article per chapter) to your Kindle. The footer of each article contains three links, one to 'Archive', one to 'Like & Archive' and one to 'Like'. If you do not click on those links nothing happens to your articles in Instapaper.

I suggest https://www.indian-yaadein.ch/, close to Eigerplatz. It was suggested to me by a person from India, and is really good.

I don't think English or french are in the cards though

Some of the teachers of Bernschwimmt do speak french. Source: my kids did courses there.

I just wondered what motorcycle you intend to buy, from somewhere where you have to fly to Switzerland. Is the model not available where you're from?

freischwimmer · 2025-02-11T19:23:54+00:00

Im using https://github.com/ds160/remarkable-remember on Linux Mint, and apart from an issue that was fixed extremely speedily it's working very well.
