Hello Friends, I am Tilok I am from Assam, India. I would like to share my OM Guru fellowship experience.

For the past five months, I’ve been on an incredible journey as an OM Guru, Asia Pacific Hub Mapping Fellow. It involved exploring the digital landscapes of Micronesia, Vanuatu, Philippines, Tonga, India, Pakistan and many more through different humanatarian projects.

My mission? To map these regions using IDEditor and JOSM. I felt like a digital explorer, uncovering and mapping unmapped roads, buildings, and landmarks.

Enter Everydoor, a game-changer for adding Points of Interest (POIs). This mobile app turned POI hunting into a real-life treasure hunt! I must’ve added over 100 POIs around my own neighborhood, making the map a more accurate reflection of the cool places around me.

But the real thrill came with Mapillary. This app lets us collect POIs on the go! Imagine cruising down the highways and streets, phone mounted on the dashboard, capturing street views that were previously missing. It’s like creating a digital time capsule of the places I visit. Back home on Wi-Fi, I’d use Rapid Editor to review the photos and add those missing POIs. It’s incredibly satisfying to see those blank stretches on the map suddenly come alive with street view data!

And let’s not forget validation – the quality check of the mapping world. Coming into the fellowship, I had dabbled in validation, but these past months filled me with confidence. Now, I can ensure the accuracy of other mappers’ work, making the entire map even more reliable.

Speaking of making a difference, checking out https://neis-one.org/tag/yosmhm/ and seeing my “mapping footprints” is truly inspiring. It’s a visual representation of my contribution to this massive, collaborative project.

The Open Mapping Fellowship has been a phenomenal experience. I’ve learned a lot, enhanced my skills through different trainings, and become part of a global community dedicated to creating a free and accessible map of the world. I would like to thank everyone involved in making this fellowship a successful one, also a big shout-out to the mentors for their guidance and trainings.

Here’s to many more mapping adventures in the future!

Namaste :)

Today, I want to look back on my time with OpenStreetMap (OSM) and how the OSM Guru Fellowship has helped me grow.

I started contributing to OSM in 2019. Since then, I’ve made over 2000 changesets. Each one has helped make the map a bit better and more accurate.

Working with Jungle Bus and GeoMinds has been great. These projects showed me how important good maps are, especially in places that need them most. I’m proud to have been a part of their work.

One of my biggest projects was mapping public transportation in Kochi. We added 24,000 kilometers of routes to OSM. It was a huge task, but knowing it helps people get around the city makes it all worth it.

The OSM Guru Fellowship has been amazing. It taught me a lot about OSM and its concepts, giving me the skills I needed to be a better mapper. I learned that knowledge is power, but community is even more powerful.

The OSM community is something I love being part of. It’s inspiring to see people from all over the world work together to map the world. The fellowship connected me with others who are just as passionate about mapping as I am.

Looking back, I’m thankful for everything I’ve learned and the people I’ve met. The OSM Guru Fellowship has been a big part of my journey, and I’m excited for what comes next. Here’s to more mapping and a stronger community!

Kinnakorai is a beautiful village about 50 km from Ooty town. The beauty lies in the journey to the village itself. Kinnakorai is similar to any other remote mountain village in India, but the villagers looked at us like we came from Krypton on a UFO. I can’t blame them at all because we were in full gear with 25 people on different motorcycles.

By the way, the day I realized that the road to the village was incorrect, I had the complete GPX trace along the route. So, I planned to fix the roads, and here we are. I edited the roads with my GPX traces and pushed the updates to OSM. Now anyone can rely on those maps. :)

In new version of userscript, I focused on analyzing edits. QuickLook for changesets, hotkeys, filtering changesets, mass actions and more.

I wonder how well this phenomenon is known in the world 🤔

Help wanted: I would be grateful if someone knows how to get into the site code and manage the map (add new objects, change layers, colors …) This would make it much easier for new features to appear. Otherwise, they will only be available in OSM-NG (:

👮‍♂️ QuickLook of changes in tags

Now you don’t need to open OSMCha for simple changesets. Tag changes will be visible directly on the changeset page.

Now you can easily check edits that are the size of a whole world:

The extension will also show whether there have been changes to the geometry and whether the objects made by the user still exist

But what if you need to check a lot of edits from the StreetComplete user? Now you can use Alt + ←/→ to navigate between user edits!

🗂️ Filtering changesets

Tired of that osm.org/history spammed with big edits? Now you can hide large edits. Or filter them by user and comment.

And yes, now you don’t have to click Load More many times

🌪 Mass actions

Have you ever encountered a situation where you need to cancel a MAPS.ME user edits? Now it’s easy to do.

❗️ Do not engage in rollbacks of mass automatic vandalism! This will quickly make DWGs and manual rollbacks will make it harder for them to work ❗️

🪪 Highlighting moderators and blocked users

To reduce your worries about vandalism, the list of recent changesets highlights the accounts of moderators, blocked users and beginners.

🕵️ Search for deleted account usernames

The Internet remembers everything. OpenStreetMap is no exception.

I started my journey as an OSM contributor in August 2018. My knowledge was initially limited to the iD editor and HOT tasking manager platform, with minimal community mapathon contributions within Nigeria. Consequently, my contributions to OSM were very low and inconsistent.

In November 2023, while seeking more opportunities to volunteer and contribute to the growing OpenStreetMap community, I discovered the OM Guru fellowship organized by the Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific. I applied as a Mapper, which complemented my background as a Remote Sensing and GIS student.

During my six-month tenure in the fellowship, I was exposed to various aspects of mapping, from building data capturing using JOSM, to Amenities/POI mapping with Every Door, and street-level imagery capturing using Mapillary, focusing on Disaster, Humanitarian, and Climate action. Additionally, I learned and developed my skills in JOSM validation and field mapping. The weekly training sessions and webinars exposed me to more applications of GIS and Remote Sensing in open spatial data science, thus enhancing my geospatial expertise.

One significant highlight of the fellowship was the Climate Change Challenge, where OM Guru-led groups competed in 8 climate challenges. I led a team of OSM contributors, which provided me with valuable leadership and teamwork experience. I was exposed to more applications and tools within the OSM ecosystem, such as Mapswipe, Maproullete, and mapping with RapidID. I contributed to mapping high priority, disaster prone and impacted areas in Asia-pacific countries.

The OM Guru fellowship came to me at the right time, and I was fortunate to utilize this opportunity. It transformed my OSM experience and provided me with the skills and expertise needed henceforth within the OSM community and beyond. The last 6 months have been incredibly enriching, filled with knowledge and skill development. It was the best period of my OSM contributions. Moving forward, I am confident in my ability to lead mapping activities and motivated to continue contributing to OSM in general. Thank you, Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific, for the opportunity!

OpenStreetMap is a public good. Public goods should support all members of the public. OpenStreetMap has instead decided to forsake my fellow LGBTQ people this year by hosting State of the Map in a country where it’s illegal to be gay. This Draconian legal code is abhorrent, and the tacit support of it demonstrated by hosting an annual international conference there is equally so.

Perhaps more worrisome is that the State of the Map website seems to me to be lying about the situation. See the text at https://2024.stateofthemap.org/venue/#safety.

LGBTQ community members are allowed to enter Kenya but it is important to mention that the nation is conservative when it comes to traditions and practices and therefore public showcasing of such related acts might expose one to public criticism. Unfortunately, there are no proper legal frameworks to protect this group of people.

“Public criticism” does not begin to describe up to 21 years of imprisonment. That this is all they say on the issue is beyond troubling: it is actively misleading. I seriously hope nobody reads this, decides to attend, and is jailed in a foreign country for their sexual orientation.

I have been an OpenStreetMap contributor for 15 years, over half my life and my entire adulthood. But this is where I have to draw the line. I can no longer offer my volunteer labor for an organization that tacitly supports criminalization of my people. As such, this pride month, I have made the difficult decision to boycott OpenStreetMap for the remainder of 2024, unless the organization can commit to some meaningful action to right this wrong. I suggest all LGBTQ allies do likewise.

Travelling to Thessaloniki today and got a 10-hour bumpy bus drive ahead.

Mapping while travelling by bus is definitely a huge challenge, but I think I managed to map Hajdaraj.

I think the village includes another area close to it, but somehow it is separated in a different residential area. Ill double check to make sure I got it all.

At the moment I’m only doing small edits, or edits using StreetComplete. I got frustrated by some people making bad edits which persuaded me there were other things that I could do rather than editing OSM.

Particularly annoying behaviours for me:-

  • Dunning-Kruger edits by people who have been here for a while but don’t edit that often - people who are absolutely sure they are right even when queried (and think the wiki is wrong), especially people whose changeset edits read like they are selling houses
  • people deliberately setting data they know is wrong but to make some route planner or map do what they want, even though they have been challenged on this repeatedly in the past
  • people adding data like access, surface, or tracktype in bulk to tracks that lack them just to fill in missing data without any evidence (so all tracks in a particular area get set to tracktype=grade2 whether they are actually asphalt or mud)
  • people copying from developers plans, rights of way descriptions, or other maps at the expense of reality (I map what’s there on the ground, they “correct” it because they’ve seen it on a plan, my journey planner tries to send me on unbuilt paths, through fences where I don’t have access, or my road bike on a dirt track suitable for a 4x4 off-road vehicle, and repeat over several years).

My main goal with editing OSM is to improve route planning on foot, bicycle, or public transport, hence why I’m keen to get surface, tracktype, smoothness, access, and construction tags correct.

I can not believe it that it has already been 20 days into the challenge and I have mapped over 30 villages so far. For the next five days I will be in Thessaloniki with a group of Wikimedians from the Balkans and I hope I manage to map every day, but if I don’t, I promise I will catch up.

If somebody following this want to catch up and learn or contribute to enriching Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata from 26 to 30 June, reach out and ill let you know where you can find us.

Today I mapped Perkola and the surroundings. Perkola was partially mapped, so I moved around the map and mapped some other areas too.

We have started to export and upload contribute all the GPS Routing Data we have collected from our motorcycle 360* data recorder for [Vietnam Street View project] (https://streetview.vn).

Check our our Trace History upload in here: (https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/openmap-vn/traces).

The data we contribute will partly support the construction of the navigation process for projects using the open map OSM.

We all know that you should never map for the renderer and you should only map what is on the ground. But I think I’ve found the third sin, changing the ground to match the map. This nine year old way is a service lane with a name, but doesn’t give a source for the name. Doing a survey showed no signs and historic photos show it as without signs. So I contacted the local council, City of Charles Sturt and asked if they could erect signs, which they have.

I don’t feel the least bit guilty. 😊😊😊
