I love that one of the accompanying images of the #OpenStreetMap blog post announcing the arrival of the official vector tiles on the OSM website is a map of #Manila’s old Spanish walled city of Intramuros.

Over the last 1 1/2 days I've hacked together a little Mastodon bot that posts once a day to update on how the #panoramax federation is evolving in terms of instances, images, and contributors.
I'm sure there's still plenty of bugs, but you can follow it under @PanoramaxContribs and it made its first little thread here: https://en.osm.town/@PanoramaxContribs/114898298867157407
Thanks to @mfuhrmann for the suggestion!
The unmapped world is disappearing.
In 2007, 8B people lived in poorly mapped areas. By 2023 — just 1.2B. By 2025 — <1B.
Thanks to thousands of OSM mappers, the gap is closing fast. Powered by Kontur Population (H3 ~400m)

@colinstu If you hate that reality, why are you actively working to reinforce it instead of joining the thousands who are working to overthrow it?
I’ve never contributed to #GoogleMaps and never will. #OpenStreetMap all the way. I choose to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
We tell people about #OSM and its benefits. We design, print, and distribute publicity material like posters and T-shirts. We connect with other communities to spread the word.
This is the way.
Du möchtest Deine Flora-Incognita-Funde exportieren, um sie in verschiedene Kartensysteme zu übertragen? Unsere Anleitung, wie das geht, haben wir heute um OpenStreetMap und GoogleEarth Pro erweitert: https://floraincognita.de/so-exportierst-du-deine-flora-incognita-funde-in-individuelle-karten-google-maps-qgis-und-r/
@haraldkliems Good question. Nothing obvious on #MapComplete, maybe some feature request this. @MapComplete ? (Web search showed up https://cyclefriendlyhotels.com/location/london/?view=map, but they use OSM with no attribution and no info on contribution to #OpenStreetMap.)
This is really cool:

Real-time (ish) view of all the edits being made on #OpenStreetMap.
Frage für die #OpenStreetMap community: Gibt es Tags, um fahrradfreundliche Hotels zu kennzeichnen? Also so ähnlich wie #BettUndBike? Ich war gestern positiv überrascht, dass mein Hotel einen Fahrradraum hatte, weiß aber nicht, wie ich das taggen würde.

Danish Cycling Tourism commissioned by Municipality to draw cycle node network in #OpenStreetMap ensuring the data benefits far more people Because OSM data doesn’t stay locked away in municipal systems. It powers the apps cyclists actually use

Unusual bench on #OpenStreetMap deserved a picture using #MapComplete
@axx @colinstu @kkarhan Even if you don't use #OpenStreetMap data all the time, it's usually an excellent fall-back in many scenarios.
Years ago my brother stayed near Padova, Italy. The rental car satnav was very poor round the villa they had rented, but #OpenStreetMap (in the form of #Maps.Me) was very good & didn't mobile data.
On another occasion he was in Kyoto. Not only did he find the manga shop his daughter had told him to visit, but he had a lovely hike through the hills.
@CoMaps Very excited to see where this goes! In future posts, you might benefit from including hashtags so as to be caught by people unfamiliar with your org but interested in what you’re working on, such as #navigation, #maps, #OpenStreetMap, #community, etc. Without the algorithms present in corporate social media, discovery on the Fediverse is significantly strengthened by explicitly tagging relevant fields and interests!
