openstreetmap-carto VS Openstreetmap

There are even two separate PRs to fix it that are pretty much ready to merge https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4456 https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4714

Looks like sense prevailed the following year. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1654

Of course, natural=valley itself is widely used. I got curious why it isn't rendered on OSM Carto but place=locality is and stumbled on some interesting discussions on the issue tracker (1 and 2). The takeaway seems to be to avoid place=locality in favour of more specific tags.

It is strange to me that the pedestrian area gets rendered above the building... would you like to create a topic about this at community.openstreetmap.org ? I think this should be handled differently. I guess the next instance then would be to open an issue at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto (probably but I'm not 100% sure) or maybe here https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations

I think the best bet then is to see if there's anything to contribute to the conversation at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3596 or whether a PR would be welcome.

Yes, it is the same style! In addition to info from /u/epicbirble, the style is called carto. It looks like Floodmap is using the OpenStreetMap standard layer, rendered using carto style, as its basemap.

If you have postgresql + postgis and mapnik at hand, you could try using Nik4: it takes a bounding box or a target size with a scale and produces a rendered image. But you would need to load the data yourself. And in the style you can just disable layers your don't need, like labels. And yes, this tool can export an svg.

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
