Hello world! We're excited to launch social channels for #r5py, the Python package for super-fast multimodal #traveltime and #accessibility calculations using #OSM & #GTFS data. Follow us for tips, updates, and examples! #r5py #GeoSpatial #Python #UrbanPlanning #GIS #Mapstodon

there should be an easy way to create #Anki spaced repetition decks for learning about a new city, streets, POIs #Mapstodon #OpenStreetMap

based on https://chaos.social/@djh/114353061956304750 I present: #zbush - a very fast spatial index for 2D points based on a z-order space filling curve and BIGMIN search space pruning

npm install zbush

https://www.npmjs.com/package/zbush

Let me know how it works for you? It's wip but shows promising results!!

Headed to #CHI2025? Don't miss honorable mention paper "The Many Tendrils of the Octopus Map" by Eduardo Puerta & Shani Spivak (co-first-authors) and Michael Correll @Birdbassador - a retrospective analysis of these visual manifestations of conspiratorial thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyqyTkog_yY

In case you missed it last week, here’s the first of a series of in-depth interviews from the first cohort of the Sovereign Tech Fellowship. Open source maintainer Sarah Hoffmann loves to discover beautiful places in real life – and in code. Discover Sarah's journey in open source, learn about #Nominatim & other technologies she works on, the challenges she faces, & her experiences working with an international volunteer community.

Oof. I spotted another uncredited use of an obviously #OpenStreetMap-derived map in another film (Picture This on Amazon Prime)!

Nouvelle cartographie sur ma boutique, cette fois c'est une carte géologique du territoire de l'ancienne Provence (inclut donc Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes de Haute Provence, et un bout du Vaucluse et des Alpes-Maritimes - oui ça fait du monde)

Ca va donner une belle affiche imprimée sur du papier Fine Arts 310g, elle est d'assez belle taille pour voir les détails (60x94 cm)

Forgotten Gems in Geospatial Indexing

How an algorithm from the 80s sets the new standard for modern spatial indices

I finished watching all 4 episodes of #Adolescence on Netflix. And being the map geek that I am and knowing that every episode was shot in one continuous take, I just had to determine what route the characters took from the family house to a fictional Wainwrights hardware store in Episode 4.

Family house in #OpenStreetMap: https://osm.org/go/evoF7q6j--?m=

Wonderful podcast episode with @bdon of @protomaps fame

This conversation is awesome to get a better understanding of #Maps, the #OpenStreetMap data, running an open source project, and how it all comes together in #Protomaps and #Maplibre

Experimenting with showing custom icons for stations. Inspired a bit from our highway shield rendered (derived from OpenStreetMap Americana)

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/tree/wip/mlundblad/station-icons

It's making use of the "network:wikidata" OSM tag.

Currently rendering these icons in map view itself is not tested (this needs an extra addition to our planetiler generator for the vector tiles to be run in the next import).

I ask this periodically, but: Has anyone made an updated version of this detailed 1970s-era USGS map that includes both Alaska and Hawaii in their correct position?

I own one (the USGS used to sell it — not sure if they still do), but I keep wondering if anyone has updated it. #Mapstodon

Prochaine carte en vue...

Me acabo de enterar en plena migración a compose de mi app de rutas, que osmdroid ha sido descontinuado.
Es una pena porque era una libreria maravillosa para quitar a Google de en medio.
Conocéis alguna alternativa que tome el testigo?

Do you know any viable alternative to osmdroid for map building in Android?

5 Roseberry Topping, North Yorkshire UK

Hike this iconic & sweet-sounding peak in the Cleveland Hills, on the edge of the windswept North York Moors.

watching @nakaner 's talk on completing #OpenStreetMap tags like surface=* I'm thinking about more goal directed ways.

Idea for surface=* tags

1. Use a routing engine such as osrm, remove all surface tags from ways, and compute many alternative routes between cities on that

2. For all alternative routes make sure that the osm ways all have surface tags on them

This approach gives us a heuristic for prioritizing completing the map where it matters most.

Holy CRAP we shook our pants off when we saw this notification from our instance.

Especially after all the hastle to find a decent european server last year.

And then it hit: 1st april!

*nervously giggling while sipping coffee*

Jérémyyyyyyyyy!

Dear #mapstodon community, we are moving!

We have made the difficult decision to move our account to another fediverse instance, in order to better comply with our data protection regulations.
But we do love this map-loving community and we hope not to loose any contacts!

If you want to stay in touch and keep seeing our posts, follow us here: @heigit@mastodon.social

Done mapping all 40 #barangays of Luna, La Union, #Philippines in #OpenStreetMap, creating their #Wikidata items, and linking the two with each other.

A huge thanks to JR Dizon of the Luna Municipal Planning and Development Office for the boundary data.
