OsmAnd-resources VS Openstreetmap

All of these map styles contain one type of data from OpenStreetMap. Rendering.xml contains rules on how to display (draw) the map on a device screen.

The custom vector map output is dependent on the rendering types (view) and POI types (search) configured. If your .osm file's entries aren't using listed tags, they'll be skipped; you would modify your OSM file to use the predefined tags, and/or modify the predefined files (and a rendering style) for display.

For existing tracks, OsmAnd-resources has a standalone template. If you name it how you like and change its depends to your usual style, and use it instead of your usual style, then gpx files without explicit widths will get its strokeWidth value.

You can write your own style https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles

For OBF creation, while the poi_types file used for searching includes them, the rendering_types.xml file doesn't include disc_golf tags.

In the default rendering style, near the bottom, one can see the values of admin_level and their minzoomvalues. One can potentially alter this, or make a copy (that wouldn't be overwritten when updating), or do otherwise, as this file is also present locally in files/rendering.

Within poi_types.xml the first poi_category has a name of shop. Within this category, some of the shop types (e.g. bakery) have poi_additional_category values (e.g. delivery) that can be used for filtering (the sliders icon in the upper right when one has performed a search). But toilets isn't typically a filter for most POIs.

These icons are (or at least were) "stubs"; see the files whose names start with "stub_" within https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources for several of them. (As these are source files, they are unlikely to match your actual map's rendering, but the actual rendered files are within huge directories that aren't as conveniently browsed within GitHub's web interface.)

I used unirs as template from https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles and adjusted the hex colors. You need to import the xml file then into osmand

In case you are a avid hiker, you probably know Komoot\2],) you can easily find and share hiking trails with everyone and attach images to it. It's really great for tracking your hikes and viewing it afterwards. And if you are in need of a general purpose app that does everything and everything well, then OsmAnd is your little helper in your pocket to navigate around. You can choose the offline map style, use various online maps, add your own maps, hike, bike, horse routes and much more. Configure the map as you wish, hide POIs, hide buildings if you don't want them, explore the map with Wikipedia articles, there are basically no limits for customization. If you are sick of green forests, create your own custom map style and make them pink. You can find default map styles on github.

I wouldn't compare osm-website and osm-carto at all. The commit logs are very different.

openstreetmap-website: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commi... . Numerous commits most days.

openstreetmap-carto: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/commits . So far in 2024; one small regression fixed, one niche bit of tagging added to an existing style, some largely pointless code style tidying. That's it.

Contributing is simple:

1. When you see a trail or any other feature that doesn't appear on the map, take a picture.

2. When you get home, visit https://www.openstreetmap.org and start drawing.

The website has satellite images overlayed wirh map data, so it's easy to see what you are doing.

You can look at your pictures to remind yourself of what was missing.

If you have recorded your ride,you can also upload your GPX trace to OpenStreetMap to make it easier to trace features that don't show up clearly on satellite images.

What impressed me was that it looks like openstreetmap shows the bridge as down already.

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Way overdue. OpenStreetMap's website at openstreetmap.org is its calling card, and for the past few years the default style shown (called Carto) has all but stagnated in development. Accepted features like highway=busway (introduced three years ago) are not rendered there because the maintainers can no longer be bothered, or dislike the tag personally despite broad community backing.

What worries me for this new effort is that Paul Norman is one of the two remaining Carto sometimes-active maintainers who refuse to merge contributed PRs or even provide alternative minimal support for features like highway=busway, leading to awkward gaps on the baseline map shown on openstreetmap.org.

I would love to be surprised in a positive way about this new effort, but I'm not holding my hopes up. Thankfully OpenStreetMap can be thoroughly useful in apps like OsmAnd and OrganicMaps, and the tile-based Tracestrack Topo layer on openstreetmap.org is getting quite decent:

https://www.hotosm.org/tools-and-data runs software that's used for example after an earthquake. The tasking manager specifically is a reactjs app plus postgresql with plenty of open issues. HOTOSM has full-time staff, I'm not sure if the developers are full-time, but it's more organized than a volunteer project.

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/ is Ruby on Rails (easy installable with a docker setup). The maintainers have trouble even reviewing incoming PRs so an experienced person who can triage, test, review is currently needed.

If you're in the US then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_for_America might be worth having a look at.

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ will soon annouce vetted organizations who do open source. (last year https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/organizati...). Project are paid, the process is long though, all summer. https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

> 9450 S. W. Barns Rd

Portlandians: Are Barns Rd and Barnes Rd the same thing? Looks like a nice spot if so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468

That building is now a SFX agency: https://hellohinge.com/ (No relation to the dating app)

Also curious if the TEKsystems employment agency next door took its name from Tektronix.

Yes, https://www.openstreetmap.org has quite inconsistent detail as it relies on people mapping stuff.

And help is welcome, anyone can join and help with mapping!

It's shown on OpenStreetMap, but not as a street: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.3682/1.0330
