I feel like josm gives the freeform editing too but the presets menu and other tools can keep design more focused on following community trends and even gives some autofill for common brands like starbucks. I was using id just to autofill some brand details and josm for main edits before I properly realized it was there too.

That's awesome if you know the creator personally. Their work has a good and useful goal. Remember as a regular mapper that if you find you have needs/likes/dislikes/problems with the program that your feedback can be quite useful to further improve it.

I always think of this as a street complete/scee type of program but its definitely different and another good tool. It is also available on fdroid (though some openstreetmap programs are altered/limited on there). You may find some programs worth trying to capture images/video while you do Every Door recording work. If still not successful then you should be able to split screen or popup window a camera program to the same screen. Last would be a separate camera (action/phone/etc.) if still trying to get it; I'd understand if the burden is enough to make you not want to do that too. You seem to know it but if anyone doesn't know or as a reminder, phone GPS + indoors can commonly place the location wrong so its good if you can have prearranged references: exit locations + known distances,, roof air conditioners, skylights, other externally referable building features to refer to or match with satellite view. As you go between layers, known objects may be usable as additional distance verifications when you can see from floor to floor (big floor openings). I've also counted steps to create known measurements. If you have internet and everydoor doesn't let you move objects (thought it did), you could always use id, vespucci, etc. to move it on the phone with an upload+download step. Any of this workflow is still better than where I often make a private osmand note and map it on PC later. I've put off mapping too long recently and have a lot of notes to get through which is annoying for me and less helpful for others; skipping steps that stall the workflow is usually the better way. Similarly I haven't been on here much in a long time so I have a few videos to get to watching.

You mentioned mapping defibrillators, have you considered taking pictures of them both closed up and far away and adding them to open street map using Mapcomplete? I'm going through my watch later list, and it's nice having your videos on my second monitor

Is this still the system Amazon uses to find addresses?

How does one install Keypad Mapper?

The Leamside line trackbed is still wholly owned by Network Rail and I'm pretty sure none of it will be an official footpath since this would create a precedent in any future reopening.

Welcom to Scotland. Did wonder if you'd moved up here after seeing some of your nearby notes. As a word of encouragment, I learnt to use JOSM using your vids. In your future vids how about covering which tools you're using? I've started using EveryDoor but can't find any real guides on using it.

You like the only one on OSM that actually does anything or goes outside and does cool GPS stuff

I started mapping my village and local area and as it’s a tight community, people realise it’s me who’s done it and I often have dog walkers and cyclists thanking me for adding routes to the map as Google Maps isn’t accurate at all. Keep mapping mate, it’s a good way to spend your time 😁

Thanks for sharing, see you at next TerminaliaFestival !!

Wohho state of the map❤

You should have let me be your cameraman! :) Great videoblog!

I learnt how to use JOSM through your vids so thank you. Could you possibly make a vid on how to use the AI tools in JOSM?

I've been playing Ingress for years, but learnt about StreetComplete yesterday. That might be the perfect thing to do on the way from one of Ingress' portals to another.

Is it available on app store?

Love it. Love you.

Very impressive work

What apps did you use on your mobile to take the geotagged photos?

You can add notes with images directly to the map with a long press iirc. I use this for missing details all the time.

Thank you for your vids over 2022. For 2023, when you're recording vids showing Josm, could you perhaps mention which keyboard shortcuts you're using?

Btw, do you have social channels to follow? I don't see them linked anywhere on your osm profile or yt channel page

Cheers to you mate! I am a fan

Interesting! Thanks for showing us the map room. I'll be at the museum in a couple of weeks, and I might have missed that.

Thanks for you videos I really enjoy them. French contributor here :)

Yup Food Warehouse part of Iceland. Part of their marketing to show they sell fresh food as well as frozen

I used to rent the allotment known as the old orchard. It was a large allotment with two old pear trees. I think it was number 248b. Many happy years spent there.

not all heroes wear capes.

Looking forward to the next half of this mapping session. I've thought I should put together a video of using Google Maps showing adding and correcting things because Google has them and OSM doesn't, then show on the street private imagery/video that shows either undoing it or further refining it to be correct instead of following Google's errors. Amazing how people I know follow Google Maps instead of going straight to the source for location, opening hours, etc. then surprised when the info is wrong.

Instead of just notes, I've seen amazon edits in my area. Seemed to be the friendly mapping type that will explain edits, take feedback to improve, etc. So many notes around my city are just anonymous entries; no way to get feedback about something that doesn't make sense in a note.

Burning through notes to get things on the map properly feels good. As always, thanks for mapping and thanks for sharing!

It's fascinating watching another experienced mapper using JOSM to add ground survey detail to an area I'd contributed to. The explicit source=ESRI tag worked to give you the hint to check other imagery sources for extra detail 🙂 Two suggestions if I may?: * try the `terracer` JOSM plug-in to easily split semi-detached buildings into two (or terraced into 20... just press 'T'). * the 'q' tool is handy to orthogonalise buildings after manual splitting (breaks 45deg corner conservatories though). The address pre-set tool has recently gained a +1 / -1 function to automate addr:house_number tagging, but it isn't really easier than manual tags (especially with survey data pre-populated). Now off to try keypad mapper.... (every day is an opportunity to learn new methods). Happy Mapping (and making YT videos!), James

Though I wish some edits weren't accelerated as I watch over the technique to learn from, others may prefer the speed. Always interesting to see which tools mappers use like how sometimes you manually add nodes to make a building, sometimes you used building plugin and merge 2 overlapped traces, and sometimes you take a group of misplaced nodes within a building and drag them leaving the rest as is. I normally try to merge address details onto the building unless it has multiple addresses and is not subdivided. Your way makes getting to an entrance easy from a routing standpoint but I'd assume renderers are harder to write that will label the node while avoiding wall interference. Routers with my way need to look for building entrances and try to connect the user there.

1:45 cycling tip: handlebar phone mount w/Mapillary app to auto-capture street-level images that appear in OSM editing mode layer - and in OsmAnd app.

I find it depends a bit on what you want to survey. Driving around in a housing estate surveying house numbers is a bit more suspicious than walking around and being able to engage with residents. Surveying cycling things is best done on a bicycle, public transport on public transport etc. A car is good for mapillary or highways, if they still need to be surveyed.

how’s lfe?!breathtaking upload, Mapper~ :))

Those are some big houses! Always amazing when I am out getting house numbers and i come across some massive places. Its the same here where larger houses regularly don't display a number. A lot of delivery companies use OSM data, and they are grateful when house numbers get updated with an accurate location.

House names engraved in wood are even worse. But great job on getting all those house numbers!

Thank you for your work.

Hey Greg :o)

In JOSM there is the 'split object' feature (alt+x) in plugin utilsplugin2 when you select 2 nodes which I use to split 1 building into 2 at a manually selected location. Terracer and gridify also offer options to it. Did you just manually break the building area and create two new building areas to split the buildings with 2 addresses?

Addesses on nodes are good ideas, why do you deleted them? In the future all the buliding will get color of the house, height, floors etc. So leave the addresse on the nodes, it do not look so fine, but we do not map for beauty.

Great!

I just like to know that I’ve edited more than Steve Coast 😝

This coming summer, my goal is to thoroughly document every Orthodox church in my region, as much as possible in OpenStreetMap; I want to improve parking info, nearby way accuracy, and rules about things like whether they are masky, or if they prohibit the carry of firearms (which can vary a bit from place to place). I was rather frustrated when travelling the U.S. this year, when I would go to find a church or chapel, and find that it no longer exists or has moved.

Thanks for updating the map for Arrochar. I should point out that Teighness Stores has been closed for years, even though the sign is still up. The football field is no longer used. It is very overgrown and I believe the land might be owned by Bespoke Hotels.

Thats very interesting. Maybee I start one next christmas ;)) Wish you a very nice time.

8:15 - is that solar array mapped?! 😉
