Don't feel like writing #reviews on #Tripadvisor & Co.? With #MapComplete, you can write reviews using #MangroveReviews.

Designed to be essentially anonymous unless you are connected to MapComplete with #OpenStreetMaps.

No real account, but Mangrove has a public/private key system to group your reviews with the IP address of each new device/browser.

On MapComplete, editing/deleting is possible, but remember to refresh the page to see the (...) button to do so.

Flemme de rédiger un avis sur #Tripadvisor & Cie ? Avec #MapComplete c'est possible d'en rédiger grâce à #MangroveReviews.

Conçu pour être essentiellement anonyme à moins d'être connecté à @MapComplete avec #OpenStreetMaps.

Pas de véritable compte, mais Mangrove dispose d'un système clé public/privé pour regrouper vos avis avec l'IP de chaque nouvel appareil/navigateur.

Sur MapComplete modifier/supprimer est possible, mais pensez à rafraîchir la page pour voir le bouton (...) pour le faire.

With the ongoing trial on Google operating as an illegal monopoly I am concerned about the trial's direction. Rumors suggest a forced sale of chrome which seems unnecessary as users have solid browser alternatives.

The real issue is Google Maps' dominance with no clear alternative and OSM severely lagging in developing nations.

I'm considering an online petition to make Google Maps data public. Would you support it?

MapComplete es ahora una app instalable y puedes encontrarla en FDroid.

MapComplete es un mapa basado en #OSM ( #openstreetmaps ) que te ofrece capas filtradas para mostrar ciertos tipos de elementos.

Por ejemplo, capas para ver o añadir solo arboles, o infraestructura de bicis, o restaruantes #SinGluten, hay muchas capas, e incluso se permite que crees las tuyas propias con tus propios filtros.

Echadle un ojo, es una muy buena forma de consultar y contribuir a OSM.

Datos libres, software libre, sin tracking, sin anuncios, un 10 de 10.

OSM Town | Mapstodon for OpenStreetMapMapComplete (@MapComplete@en.osm.town)#MapComplete can now be downloaded as #Android #app from the official #Fdroid-repositoried! Download via https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mapcomplete/ This is a packaged version of the webversion, so features will remain the same between visiting the website and the app. Using the app has the advantage that all assets are already on your device, requiring less network.

Today I learned “Find my Device” is available on /e/OS !

I forgot my #Fairphone in the car a couple of days ago and was really worried for a few minutes…

I love that I have this on my device without needing to rely on #Apple , #Google or any other centralised service that keeps my location at all times!

You just text a special code to your phone number and you get an SMS with a link to an #openstreetmaps pin where your device is!

Good job @e_mydata !

I've been using #OrganicMaps on #Android as replacement for Google Maps.

So far so good.

The only complaints are that I sometimes need traffic because I live in a traffic hell and the map data often does not include a business, in particular, that I'm heading to...

So I made an account at #OpenStreetMaps and started adding the missing businesses I find.

It is a stupid easy way for you to contribute to an open project. You should try it. Help round out the data where you live!

My oldest-but-still-used/maintained project is a fork of the bulk renderer script found in #OpenStreetMaps's pure XMLMapnik repo:

github.com/openstreetmap/mapni

github.com/StyXman/osm-tile-to

In the spirit of infosec.exchange/@JessTheUnsti I found out that the original code left from my first commit are only empty line, and only one import from the original code survives :)

Granted, now it also can generate output in several formats, can work as the core of a tile server and many more features.

places.pub

I'm making an initial version of places.pub available today. places.pub is a collection of Place objects suitable for use in geosocial applications on the ActivityPub network. Part of my work in the Social Web Community Group at the W3C has been participation in the GeoSocial Task Force. This is a sub-group of the SocialCG that focuses on implementing user stories in ActivityPub related to the intersection of geographical systems and social networking, for example, tagging an image with […]
