Of the 1971 voters in this election, 740 cast ballots. Craig Allan, Maurizio Napolitano, Laura Mugeha, and Héctor Ochoa Ortiz are the winners after counting the ballots using Scottish STV.

We have bike routes all over, and they are signed with something as shown.

But most of these will have a bike lane or sharrows along with the Bike Route signs.

However, I ran into one road that doesn't, it's just signed.

What's the best way to tag these roads? I don't want to cause confusion, but these unpainted (but signed) roads do actually lead to/from better cycling infrastructure, so they should be known.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the input, guys. Having looked into this further, I'm comfortable using the designated tag, at least for this specific road.

My municipality is a bit bipolar with their application of these signs. Most are signed as bike routes with toad markings, but a few are signed only.

Because these "bike routes" connect to more significant cycling infrastructure, I think its more than valid to tag them as “designated” as opposed to "yes" (which would be pretty much every road).

To add even more confusion to the situation, the official Cycling infrastructure map for my municipality seems to not include several areas that have both bike route signs and road markings, so i will ask them if the data is just lagging or if it needs to be updated.

So, unless there's a critical reason why the "designated" tag shouldn't be used in this context, I will leave it at that.

I'm on Street Complete and I'm trying to differentiate between Concrete, Concrete slabs, and concrete lanes. There's a walkway that's just a normal concrete walkway, I didn't know there were so many designations for this.

I know that is at first a geo database but has anyone build a better web ui where i can plan routes with public transport just like on google maps

Edit: I have found one which works for me: Mapy.cz it isn't open source but that wasn't a requirement

How do I make an office appear on OpenCycleMap?

The local representation of the German Cyclists' Association has an entry on OpenStreetMap and has tools and an air pump for cyclists on site.
We would like the association to appear on OpenCycleMap as well. For this purpose, both service:bicycle:pump=yes and service:bicycle:repair=yes have been set for the node.
It's been more than a week since the according changes were made - unfortunately I still can't see the location in OpenCycleMap. Any ideas what to do?

For our parkour group, we have a list of spots with custom pictures of the spots, embedded right into google maps, so you don’t have to click on any other website. This is quite cool and convenient. Is there any way to move that list (manually is ok) to OSM? E.g. in a city guides functionality, which I have some memory of, but don’t know where it comes from.

When I first tried OsmAnd a few years ago it was overwhelming, there is so much to customize.

I tried it again recently and it really impresses me.

My OsmAnd ski profile shows me slope for avalanche risk and 3D relief so I don't need Fatmap, plus OsmAnd let's you download 7days of weather.

OsmAnd doing routing on hiking trails replaces my need for Gaia.

Really impressive work by the OsmAnd team.

I am using a fresh osmand install, and now I have this widget on the right showing the wrong altitude. Always about 50m too high. The bottom widget shows the correct altitude however, that is kinda weird. I have updated the app now, but same thing.

Using f-droid latest version, but this happened also with the one I had before (4.85). I am also using brouter plugin for navigation, maybe the correct altitude comes from there idk. The wrong one is also displayed when in the default profile with no brouter involved.

Anybody else seeing this phenomenon?

Oh and the "centre map" altitude doesn't seem to be working at all, but I don't need that anyway.

I've been playing around with Google Maps lately to create custom maps.

I don't like google but have no experience with any other apps and have never tried mapping of any sort before.

I'm trying to create a map layer(s) that has historic sites, stone circles, woodland, cemeteries, UNESCO sites etc. So if I'm traveling I can stop and see them.

I've created my own Google Map using lists of sites from Wikipedia. This has gone ok but leads to a lot of data cleansing and the functionality isn't great.

I've seen this website but it isn't as complete as the Wikipedia text lists ive imported: https://www.hmdb.org/

I'm completely new to this and have no experience. Are there any good resources out there for me to use or contribute to?

I'd like to de-google as much as possible.

P.S. do I need to enable developer mode or root my phone to install open street map now?

Thanks!

@openstreetmap A while ago I've seen a before-after screenshot command line tool for osm mentioned somewhere but I cannot find it anymore.
I believe it was written in python.
Does anyone know the name of the tool in question?

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

I've encountered some conflicting usages of Tag:landuse=residential. Some areas are very specific, and broken down into individual blocks, while some areas cover multiple blocks. Here's an example of both styles adjacent to each other:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/653823458

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/652122607

The wiki doesn't really say much on the topic. Does anyone have opinions/rules of thumb on how to tag them exactly? It seems like all adjacent areas not separated by major highways should be joined together?

I've encountered some residential areas that are broken down into mapping each block, and literally follow the curb, rounded corners and all. That seems too specific?
