That thread has a top answer with a grand total of one vote on it, I wouldn’t take it as consensus on anything.
Concrete that is poured in one piece usually has visible lines. They’re placed there after the fact or when the concrete is wet to control how it cracks as it settles. That doesn’t mean it’s separate plates. The cuts normally aren’t full depth.
@pineapplelover @openstreetmap
They would usually be poured in one or two slabs with the joints added to the wet concrete or cut later.
If it looks like an impossible mould would me needed it’s more likely to be pre-fab and lifted into place later.
@pineapplelover @Tyoda @openstreetmap
The ones on the wiki have visible lifting points.
They might also have visible alignment issues or evidence of moulding at the seam or corners.
@RubberElectrons @strubbl
I don’t know if @geomob are running anything in the US these days. @OpenStreetMapUS might have events that interest you?
@infeeeee @openstreetmap
Yes I was.
In the current state they are useless for showing the images, but it might be better to keep them temporarily and use the changeset information to contact the original ‘uploader’ and see if they’d be willing to upload via e.g. @MapComplete (who have a @panoramax instance now).
iD should not be allowing the creation of these so I think someone should open a bug report if it isn’t already fixed.
@infeeeee @lukstru @openstreetmap
That looks like something that should work in an HTML <img > tag, but doesn’t. Maybe it has been truncated?
@maltfield @palitu
As I understand it Maeritive does a decent OSM based map really easily.
QGIS can only do it after a tonne of work.
@uninvitedguest @shoobs ooh, I didn’t realise there was source available
I know the author has already mentioned it, but MapComplete.org might be a good site to look at if you’re just starting and have local knowledge of an area. I know in my early days mapping that just looking at a list of map features would remind me about places that I’ve know about forever and never thought to put on a map. The MapComplete themes might have some obvious omissions that you can fix quickly.
@als @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap
I suspect that’s because if you read the post it looks like OP is a beginner and not an experienced editor.
Vespucci, JOSM and level0 aren’t getting mentioned either because they aren’t the best starting points.
@thibaultmol @unknowing8343 @openstreetmap
Maybe, but they also seem to be making intermediate standards to make it easier to wean themselves off OSM.
It’s not clear yet if that is actually a goal or a side effect.
@BitSound @openstreetmap
There is no real reason to break things up block by block unless the blocks have unique names or something. It’s also a pain to edit when the areas have been glued to the roads.
So yeah, leave them big.
@SomeAmateur @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap
I think in its usual setting StreetComplete uploads as soon as you make it (if you have an internet connection). It can also be set to upload when you reach WiFi or manually.
@ame @MangoPenguin @pietervdvn
StreetComplete does have a couple of quests for this that default to disabled so you can turn them on if you’re interested.
@Showroom7561 @openstreetmap
Well yeah, if you get some beefy server somewhere else to do the rendering it will be quicker.
I don’t know if Organic Maps and the like actually store vector tiles locally to get the speed up or what, but they’re clearly doing something better.
@Showroom7561 @pietervdvn @openstreetmap
This is an offline render, internet speed shouldn’t have any effect.
The lack of caching of previously rendered areas is annoying.
@mamus @gigachad @openstreetmap
This problem has been getting worse for years, they seem more interested in new premium subscription bloat than having an app that works at a usable speed.
@sven @openstreetmap I think the tagging you’re showing *should* be fine, but as I think the
:forwardandbackwardtags aren’t as widely supported I’d put the lower speed as a genericmaxspeedfor that bit of road as well. That way simple software will default to the lower limit and more sophisticated software will use the correct one.
