[OSM-talk] problem with the public GPX lines in my JOSM

The public GPX traces lines in my JOSM are shown chaotically and meaningless. But when I switch to the dots-only option, then it is OK. On the OSM map the same public GPX is shown correctly, as a meaningful line. Also in the iD editor it is the correct GPX line. This behavior is present on two

Re: [OSM-talk] OSMF makes a political decision where should be a technical solution?

The topic of territorial claims is very complicated, long lasting,  and painful. It involves not only such relatively remote and insignificant cases as Hans Island, Sudan, Croatia, Crimea, Pakistan, etc. cases, but also the industrial developed lands. For example, the Reconquista [1] in the USA

Re: [OSM-talk] OSMF makes a political decision where should be a technical solution?

It seems to be a good idea to show the disputed boundaries in a different style. For example, if a captain of a see ship visits a port in Crimea and then one in Ukraine, as far as I know, he may have legal problems and the ship could be delayed in Ukraine. A captain from say the Southeast Asia

Good morning Daniel, There is a relatively new leisure or sport activity, the so called "street workout". I mapped couple of new street workout grounds as leisrure=fitness_station, sport=exercise, which could be seen with the HD images via these links: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/631600

Re: [OSM-talk] What use is OpenStreetMap?

A detailed map is an essential tool for firefighters, ambulance, and police. And not only of the town itself but also of the countryside especially along railways and automobile roads. The city of Stockholm built an interactive public transportation map on the basis of OSM: https://sl.se/en/ .

Re: [OSM-talk] [Osmf-talk] A Better Map

I usually map house numbers on Sunday morning when there is less traffic. I use bicycle and a specialized application for smartphone for collecting address (with a smartphone stylus). It is better to map addressable first, say, 30 large buildings where 1000 people live or work, than 60 small build

Re: [OSM-talk] The world’s best addressable map

This is selfevident. Without more or less complete addresses the map cannot be used in, say, an ambulance application, or in a delivery service application, etc. It is unusable. But if there is a /critical mass/ of addresses for a town or a city, then the rest could be completed by the same ambula
