Looks like half of them have incompatible licenses and can’t be imported:

@pineapplelover If you find a quest repetitive you can disable it in the settings. @balsoft

@balsoft I think this quest is disabled by default these days and has to be re-enabled in the settings.

Seems to confuse HOT and OSM in general in a few places.

And I found the timeline bit confusing. Was Google running in parallel to Keyhole for a bit before acquisition or are they just mentioning Google before they got involved?

@strubbl

The MapLibre v Leaflet article sounds interesting, but loses all credibility before you even get to the text.

If the image is AI slop then the text probably is too.

The first part is a reference to my general feeling of deja vu.

The second is a reference to these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here/_WeGo

My first instinct is “Here We Go Again” but I think there’s an existing map company that would take exception to that.

@balsoft

It’s faster, but still incredibly slow.

@woelkchen

@przmk
They’re both vector based. Purely from usage it feels like OsmAnd is rerendering everything from scratch every time with little caching. If you pan away and pan back it takes effectively the same amount of time to recreate the previously rendered view as a fresh view. This time seems to increase with addition obfs for “live” updates etc.
When Organic Maps updates slowly it tends to feel like vector tiles “falling back” to lower zoom until more detail is retrieved.

Points of interest and amenities are probably the next most useful. Things like street lighting and sidewalks quite helpful for pedestrians. It’s more important that you are still enjoying mapping. If there is something that you know is useful but you find tedious it’s ok to skip it and either leave it for someone else or come back to it later

As it sounds like you’re on Android, I’d recommend @streetcomplete for easily adding detail while on the go.

@Sir_Kevin if it’s your own data you probably qualify for the contributors program if you don’t want to help fund development.

The F-droid version is unofficial so they’re unlikely to have an answer to that.

I think it was something like £2 when I bought it. Now it’s £39.99⁉️

They also have a €3/month subscription for ‘hourly’ map updates (and some cloud sync to compensate for Android getting worse).

But is it getting very slow these days. Especially with hourly updates turned on.

Their privacy policy is here:

It also looks to the tile providers privacy policy.

Only F-Droid would take the stated purpose of an app and warn you about it as an anti-feature, but here we are.

@paequ2 It has been so long since I started using JOSM that I don’t really know what’s tutorials are the best. HOT did a two minute introduction to building tracing that’s linked from the wiki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcKewl94jR4 (skip the HOT specific bit)

LearnOSM has a longer written introduction to JOSM here: https://learnosm.org/en/josm/

@Koreller did a very good collection of GIFs suggesting efficient ways to trace buildings with the building tools plugin here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Koreller/diary/404988

@paequ2
I think it’s quicker to draw them from scratch with the #JOSM Building Tools or mapathoner plugins than it is to fix the AI guesswork.

Sadly there’s a very misguided campaign running on the start page at the moment, but it’s still a much better app for serious mapping.
@ray

@pietervdvn @mdione If you’re replying to a reply it sometimes helps to add @openstreetmap to the toot to make sure it gets propagated properly by lemmy.

(although probably not this time as I’m replying to a lemmy.ml account)

@ray @openstreetmap

Makes you wonder what people are thinking.

So many rounded corners and buildings with notched taken out of them when they clearly just have a tree over a bit of the building.

@mvirts I’m not sure that ould have helped that much. They’re apparently paying for redundant connections, but a single point of failure in the ISP’s network is causing an outage on both of them.

@mvirts @VieuxQueb

Um, yeah … about that :
