A public agency here (Madison, WI, USA) is planning to collect street level imagery and give it to Google. I don't know what the details of the arrangement are, but I want to advocate for also releasing the data as so that it can be used for etc. Are there any good models I can mention? I remember the Vermont DOT partner, but that was a long time ago (maybe before the FB acquisition) vtrans.vermont.gov/working/vid

To be honest: I'm a little shocked how relatively little it takes, to climb that high in local and even global ranks.

I always assumed the top ranks are occupied by some ultra high-activity commercial mappers, group accounts etc., but this might be just a very thin layer on top.

Project for today: add a bunch more houses to my parents town in so I can streetcomplete them all with addresses etc. when I'm there! I really love rapid for this because it saves so much clicking.

The imagery issue, where big business is pulling all the satellite imagery is really frustrating. This is why that imagery needs to be in public hands to begin with. Rapid itself feels also like something that'll be pulled sooner rather than later. So I use it while I can.

Uiii! Selfe-made errors in OSMgo.org:

When your tool draws an "division by zero", you need to investigate. I did, while coding rendering. The cause was a way with two times the same node in sequence (not fist=last for closed ways). The distance is zero!

After inspecting an example:
The blamed way is not a way but a multi-polygon. Ways are concated. And the identical nodes at the end were the doubles %-I

And beside this: My code does not support multiple areas!

Well, there is always hope:

Making more things directly “clickable” in Maps, like streets…

Another idea as a follow-up on this to add functionallity to the highway shield library to be able to get a paintable object given a place' network tags. So that we could show that instead of the generic “car” icon for roads when available.

Experimenting with showing custom icons for stations. Inspired a bit from our highway shield rendered (derived from OpenStreetMap Americana)

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-m

It's making use of the "network:wikidata" OSM tag.

Currently rendering these icons in map view itself is not tested (this needs an extra addition to our planetiler generator for the vector tiles to be run in the next import).

I love and I love but I do not understand what the strategy is here:

It reads like looking for problems to apply AI to for "thought leadership" — and some ten years late at that.

OpenStreetMap has many players using machine learning; from big players to open source pipelines and models. It's not a technical problem to solve.

What are you doing Mozilla? Have you talked to anyone in the OpenStreetMap community?

Conversely, less social and dissatisfied editors were homogenous in their work style, typically full-time, paid hourly, and based in North America.

Went back to Henderson to finalize the updates. I think i updated all i could with out starting to assume details. Also some mappers suggested straightening out the roads, so i did that across the entire town.

Included are the original before photo, and the final after.

As a side note, bing was working on JOSM for a minute and then stopped again.

I love and I love but I do not understand what the strategy is here:

blog.mozilla.ai/map-features-i

It reads like looking for problems to apply AI to for "thought leadership" — and some ten years late at that.

OpenStreetMap has many players using machine learning; from big players to open source pipelines and models. It's not a technical problem to solve.

What are you doing Mozilla? Have you talked to anyone in the OpenStreetMap community?

And also 47.5 for Maps with a cherry-pick for the update to use Transitous for public transit routing in Finland (due to Digitransit sunsetting the old OpenTripPlanner 1.x API in April).

The slide indicates a video presentation with the presenter's face appearing in a small bubble on the lower right corner, showing Alex Hoferek joining the session remotely.
A slide titled "Typology," explaining the categorization of corporate editors (CEs) based on their editing habits and job satisfaction. Four pairs of types are listed: Heavy and Light CEs, Technical and Sporadic CEs, Social and Less social CEs, and Happy and Dissatisfied CEs. The slide describes how participants were sorted into these categories, with a table showing the related measures and number of participants.

Ended up on from a website, and it didn't seem to depict reality. Had to compare it with OSM.

Missing major buildings, roads. Incorrect roads (NE one is a mostly a path). And that's ignoring all the detail, available in OSM.

Oh, and that "bar" on the left in Google Maps? That's a spam entry, advertising bar services for events.
