The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland Has Collapsed
What impressed me was that it looks like openstreetmap shows the bridge as down already.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
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).

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
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:

Waterway Map
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!

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

There's a new map style on OpenStreetMap.org
.. and me FF/Linux.
Parent might like to examine their extensions/network/life choices. I block a shit load of stuff and bizarrely a mapping system used and generated by millions of people just seems to work.
This didn't look very pretty but I still got the menus 8)

Waterway Map
Looks nice but it's probably not really usable for navigation. I checked the Netherlands and Germany. You'd need more details for safely navigating on the water. But it definitely has potential.
There are also some other specialized open street map based maps for
- rails: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/
- cycling: https://www.opencyclemap.org/
- sea map (competes with this I guess, and is a bit more detailed for navigation): https://map.openseamap.org/
And probably loads of other ones.

My new concept of the trip of my life. Is it possible to pull this off using the 15 days Interrail Global Pass?
Hey, I have just found this official Interrail map: https://www.interrail.eu/content/dam/pdfs/Interrail%20map%202022.pdf. There is a note on the bottom of the first page that says "Please note that only a selection of the available railway lines is shown on this map.", so I not sure it is always reliable. It is still significantly more helpful than the map I linked in my previous comment. Notice how this map shows how there is a train track in Albania (https://www.openrailwaymap.org/) and it seems to not be included into the Interrail Pass (it is absent on the official map).
Thanks, I was inspired by this map: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ I guess I was misled.

Urbanist Travel Guide to Netherlands/Europe
OpenRailwayMap has a detailed map of rail lines around Europe, a good way to see metro/tram stations across cities. OSM seems to do a decent job showing pedestrian areas in Dutch cities. Google Street View/Google Earth is hard to beat.

Ukraine Discussion/Question Thread - 10/8/22+
There is no alternate railway route over land. Unfortunate OpenRailwayMap is down atm so can't show on an interactive map, but they'd have to ferry trains to Mariupol or another city in the south and then have them go from there.

I made my own QR Rail map by adding old lines and some new ones, the reason for each line is in the comments :).
Yes, I know this isn't CRR map, but that map doesn't have all stations listed. Tennyson line - **Reinplmention** of tennyson connection. Booval Line - **Reniplmention and upgrade** single track Swambank branch line. > Expanasion from springfield, connecting to Brisbane-sydney line then onto loganlea Sydney Line - **Upgrading** to due track adding stations along the way. (Addiation track may need to be made due to track our track gauge) Altandi Line - **New** line going mainly through currently undeveloped area. Dayboro Line - **Reinstating/Rebuilding** the closed part of the fenry grove line. Petri Line - **New** line connecting dayboror/Ferny Grove, mainly going through undeveloped area connecting the Strathpine. Kilcoy Line - **Reinstating old/disused track** > Foot Note, the track use to run up the Glass House Mountains Conservation Park, however it is likely if it was really reinstated it'd follow the D'aguilar Highway then reconnect where it did at the other end of the mountain. CAMCOS / Sunshine Line - CAMCOS is currently a in planning track, from what I can tell it will be rail, correct me if im wrong (Souce, Sunshine Coast Council) > Foot note, CAMCOS actually starts "starts" at Beerwah, however I'd guess it'd go down to at least pretie. To find all the disused railway track I was refercing, go here. https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ It can be a little bit hard to find as some are not shown as primary track. Fun fact, most of the lines you can still see the out line of them with ariel imagery, even if the track is no longer there.
You can find them here! Little hard to find sometimes are they're not fully shown, mostly broken brown lines but they're there! https://www.openrailwaymap.org
