> various examples but has identified no solution as yet. - Sarah Heidekorn presented a new entry in the ohsome Region of the Month series, a blog with many helpful guides for OSM mapping.

Open Data
- Leonardo Gutierrez of Trufi Association discussed how ‘Digitising Active Transport’ is more than mapping bike routes and pavements (sidewalks); active transport solutions need OSM and open data that is relevant to the needs of the people who bike, walk, and make multimodal journeys. Video in Spanish; summary in English.

- Congratulations to the overpass turbo team on the 10th anniversary of this application, and for their constant efforts and improvements. On 16 Jul 2012, Martin Raifer committed the first version to GitHub.
- Stefan Keller informed us that two of his computer science students have developed an application called ‘OSM Wikidata Quality Checker‘ with the help of Sascha Brawer. The application checks existing links from OpenStreetMap to Wikidata. The errors found – for example invalid Wikidata entries in OpenStreetMap – are also sent to Osmose-QA with a suggested correction. The software processes the data worldwide on a weekly basis. Currently, a total of over 30,000 error notes have been found in nine categories. They are now looking for a place to host this data processing pipeline permanently.
- Natenom described in his blog how to include gradients when calculating routes using OsmAnd with and without the BRouter app installed.

- Arne Hamann won the first prize at the NextGov Hackathon (€5,000) in May for developing new features for Nextcloud Maps, which uses OpenStreetMap data. His goal was to make the Maps applications collaborative. Previously, the functions were minimal and there was no way for them to interact with others. Thanks to his efforts, collaborative use of mapping is now possible in Nextcloud Maps.
- Trufi’s back-end expert, Sören Reinecke, provided a guided walkthrough for developers.
Releases
- Paul Norman announced the release of OpenStreetMap Carto v5.5.0. This is the default style sheet on the OSM website, which with this release, now renders mountain passes.
Did you know …
- [1] … that the changeset assessment tool ‘Latest Changes‘ has been updated? It helps you to check recent OSM changes within a certain cartographic boundary, for example your home town. The most relevant updates were a tag comparison table similar to achavi, a download button to fetch changesets, and a vandalism checker to find suspicious edits.
Other “geo” things
- alexkemp noticed that pictures uploaded to Mapillary cannot be downloaded via their site any more and links to pictures become invalid after some time. He is not happy about his discovery.
- A Twitter discussion triggered interest in maps printed on scarves. France Foulards will print > a map selection of France on a scarf for you from IGN data.
