Une carte du Nord-Ouest de la France de 1886 sur les zones de production du cidre, pudiquement nommée "Enquête sur l'alcoolisme"

Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing Lua scripts on GTFS feed data in Transitous.

I added a script to add route colors to some of the routes in the Swedish national feed from Trafiklab. Also set the route type for Landskrona's bus route 3 to trolley bus.

I almost missed it, but we're more than 2500 map aficionad@s on Mapstodon.Space since yesterday!

Cheers to that!

Playing a bit with some redesign of the public transit itinerary rendering in Maps.

Stack ATM :

Great work by @waysidemapping to update #OSM with #USGS streamgage data. Welcome to Mastodon!

I finished watching this #Netflix documentary about the #Antwerp diamond heist in 2003 and while the film itself is your typical interesting and informative Netflix-style docu, I am again peeved that #OpenStreetMap was used without any credit whatsoever.

Their travesty is now immortalized on the OSM Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Films

Germany has a lot of roads called "Sackgasse" (dead-end road).

However, some of them have no dead ends at all. What a scam!

I've challenged myself to find them and used the resulting #Overpass query as an example in my workshop today at @FrOSCon.

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/29ZE
(the query may need a minute to execute)

I have added a lot of comments to explain how it works, and I have added it to the example queries in the #OSM wiki.

I've been using @jonnymccullagh's "JOSM Customizations" JOSM Customizations since I started with JOSM, and it's been fantastic!

Just forked his #GitHub repo (to #Codeberg) and made a few tweaks for quick setup whenever I need a fresh install of JOSM.

Tarballs are now out for GNOME 49 beta release for Maps and libshumate.

Among the new stuff for Maps:
It now shows the localized highways shields (when definitions are available) in the place details for road labels

The POI search interface has an option for searching for vegan/vegetarian restaurants (this was an old proposal I got IRL at GUADEC 2023, but kinda forgot).

And in libshumate it is now possible to (non-center) align map markers.

Hey Mapping Fam, Geohipster is seeking map contributions for their 2026 GeoHipster calendar. They aren't on Masto, but you can get more info here https://www.geohipster.com/2026-geohipster-calendar/

Considering as a change (before the UI freeze for GNOME 49 in early August) toning down the colors of labels for cities and towns in Maps.

Screenshots showing after the considered change in contrast to the current looks.

What do you think, is this an improvement? (I believe it would be more in line with how e.g. labels are presented in the default Adwaita GTK theme)

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.
