On a lot of places it’s forbidden to light campfires outside of designated areas.

OpenStreetMap is the registered trademark of OSM Foundation, and they ask to please don’t use mixed and confusing names like some of these for related projects. From the Trademark Policy:

You may not:

abbreviate the wordmarks, combine them with other words (“OpenStreetMapThing”), or substitute words in the mark (“OpenStreetThing” or “OpenThingMap”), especially where the new combination sounds similar to OpenStreetMap.

While they usually allow the use for open projects, it would be just easier to respect the request of the Foundation.

Sorry for copying my comment from the other thread, but it could help others here as well.

You have to draw them only once, than you can use the tag repeat_on, and list the levels: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:repeat_on

But yes, it’s super micro mapping, I would map this only, if the full building is mapped with the same detail level.

“Ideally”, yes.

If you use simple indoor tagging, you can use repeat_on, and you can map this with a single line: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:repeat_on

There are some renderer support for it, I’m not sure any routing engine supports this.

Whatever you think. I met with mappers who only map rail and related stuff, others only different kind of pipes and manhole covers, some focus on electrical infrastructure, and street cabinets. Some people map anything that has a number or id. My favorite is street parking, lanes and sidewalks.

So map what you enjoy the most, this is not a job, it’s a hobby.

Just a quick note, komoot uses OSM, maybe not in its mobile apps where system apis available, but you should see the Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors text on the bottom right corner of the map, example link to the map: https://www.komoot.com/discover/Location/@48.0186032,16.9920158

I never used komoot, and I’m not an hiking guy, so I don’t have experience with alternatives

Owntracks was one of the nextcloud apps, I used it years ago: https://owntracks.org/

It’s also on fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.owntracks.android/

I found the nextcloud app it is PhoneTrack:

• https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/phonetrack
• https://github.com/julien-nc/phonetrack

It has a big list of supported apps: https://github.com/julien-nc/phonetrack/blob/main/doc/user.md

It definitely shows lake names, it’s just limited to specific zoom levels, e.g. here you should see all the names of the Great Lakes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7%2F45.064%2F-81.758

The source code of the renderer is here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

And there is an issue about displaying sea and ocean names: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2278

Maybe Ops Team can help? Does it work if I tag them here? @osm_tech@en.osm.town

See it yourself, this is the gulf relation: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9326283

It has more than 90 names, on different languages. As I can see the default name key without a language subkey is the same as name:ar which is the Arabic name, so that’s the “default”. There is also an alt_name:ar as “alternative name” and google translate says it means “Gulf of Basra” which should be coming from the city of Basra, in Iraq (OSM).

In Persian the same 2 keys exist. The default name:fa translates to Persian Gulf, the alt_name:fa is Arabian Gulf

It’s important to note that the language independent name tag is not used the same way everywhere. E.g. here they use the Arabic name, but for example for the Danube river this default is “Danube” in English, while for example this section where it’s the border between Slovakia and Hungary its name is “Dunaj / Duna”, containing names in both languages. Similar here, but Romanian and Bulgarian names “Dunav/Dunărea”: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/42369355

This tagging scheme is also common for example in Alto Adige/Südtirol (OSM) a region of Italy where 70% of the population is native German speaker, they add both names, and you can see this on the default Mapnik layer on openstreetmap.org

OpenStreetMap is a database, and the map you see on openstreetmap.org is just one renderer, a lot others exist. If you want to see everything rendered in another language you can use for example on Wikimedia Maps, in this url just change the language code at the end to something else, e.g. this is in German: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=de This is in Italian: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=it

OSM exists to record and map facts, not to dictate them. If some people call it that way, than it should be recorded in the database, it’s not about personal preferences and politics, we shouldn’t decide if the name is right or not. If you read the linked forum thread you can see that it is purely technical, about how we should record it in the database and when (now vs when and if it will become official)

It’s a bit annoying here that a lot of people misunderstands this, and comments recommendations with near zero osm mapping experience, this is about how to map a thing on OpenStreetMap, not about politics.

On osm there is one main attribute name, and other secondary names like alt_name, loc_name, official_name, etc, and different language versions of all of them e.g. name:en, name:es etc… This is not a political question, but technical, how it should be recorded according to the osm tagging scheme, how this rare situation should be mapped, it’s not straightforward. More info in the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names

Wiki says we should use ISO 639 language codes, but en-us is a BCP 47 code. There is a section about this on the wiki, that we should switch for that standard because of situations like this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names#Issues

You can use another service to navigate there. And than do your own survey, and add the addresses to osm. You are not allowed to copy from Google, but it’s not because of us, but it’s in Google’s terms of service.

After your initial survey you won’t need to use Gmaps again. And if you survey the neighbors, not just your original destination, maybe you can help others in the future.

Also mapping is fun! Try it, you will know better your area.

Than you just map it, and next time it will be on the map. On commercial map services it’s much harder to do this.

And the license maybe not compatible in some states:

Seven (7) Dark purple states may have data that is not in the public domain including: Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Carolina, and South Dakota.

It definitely replaces a lot of functionality of osmcha, but also makes it more accessible, as there is a button added to open a changeset in osmcha

There is also a Transit layer on osmapp :)

Yes, it’s possible, and there are few examples, the point is it’s much more complex to implement it than just slapping router on top of the map.

For usable public transport routing the router would need to know the timetable, and that data is not available in osm. There was a thread about this a month ago: https://feddit.org/post/3575702

Osmapp has a bicycle layer and bicycle routing.
