Hi Geof,
What was their worry is that, if what we are using is not so accurate, They
will end up tracing a person's toilet or water tap in a different compound.

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps User Stats

[Erwin Olario]

Hello. I noticed the revamped website yesterday, and they look great! Kudos.

Just a question: how are projects tasks picked from the pool of tasks from
TM? For example, they've identified the North Cebu Risk Mapping Project
[0], but it doesn't use a #MissingMaps hashtag in their change set comments.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

Hi Trudy,

Thanks for the work done so far in building an OSM community in Zambia,
I can also share with you my experience in using OSMTracker, GPS units and
field papers from our mapping under "Ramani Huria" in Dar es Salaam.

The accuracy of OSMTracker improves when you have an internet connection
and it can go as high as 3m or less, it is necessary to check the level of
accuracy when picking a way point. What usually helps is when you import
the track and waypoints into JOSM, then you can place the nodes more
accurately by looking at the imagery.

Using Fieldpapers with Bing imagery may not be very helpful in informal
settlements where the houses are very close to each other, locating where
you are on the fieldpaper when in the field maybe challenging. If you can
afford it, acquiring several Garmin etrex 20 or 30 GPS units will prove
useful.

Regards,

Geoffrey.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

[Chris Fleming]

Blake has mostly covered it. But worth saying explicitly, if we assume that
the best you're going to get on a GPS is 5m, but your concern is that
you're mapping things that are much closer together - then the solution is
to combine the GPS and paper based approach. The important thing from a
navigation point of view is getting the relevant features correctly placed
reactive to each other.

What you will find is that the combination of airial/gps and survey data
will bring the accuracy down. But ultimately, relative postition is the key.

Mike,

I would suggest that natural=wood should be the first tag, if the area is a
park then the next tag could be leisure=park.  The OSM page on forest
has good
descriptions.

In Ethiopia often the Orthodox churches are in the middle of a small church
forests and would be tagged natural=wood, and land_use=religious.

I love trees but would shy away from tagging individual trees except for
landmark type specimen. There is a lot of mapping to do without mapping
trees.

[HOT] Back as an organizer for mapping activities

[Dr. Andreas Reimer]

Dear HOT!

My name is Andreas Reimer, I helped organizing the activities coming 
from Heidelberg University during the Haiyan response. I am also a 
former colleague of Pascal Neis, who I thank very much for bringing me 
into the OSM fold.
These activities back in 2013 were a catalyst for students who later 
founded the DisasterMappers Heidelberg who have been active ever since, 
so all the multiplication starting with Pascal has had some impact.


I am now teaching GIS in Kassel. I just wanted to say I am now available 
again as organizer and multiplier, we can arrange for mapping teams of 
geomatics trained mappers (20) on very short notice.


So, if Andrew Buck or someone wants to get into contact please do so. 
Back in 2013 we had some interesting experiments with coordinated 
multi-user mapping. I would love to continue and formalize such things.


As my new job posting is supposed to be permanent, I hope to build some 
more permanent training scheme and structure to help out.


All the best,

Andreas

Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager - Comments

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Mike,

No, only automatically for "invalidated" but when you validate, you can 
type an '@' and then the user's name and they will get a message in the 
tasking manager with the comment.


For user names with spaces, you have put the full username in [ ]'s if 
the auto complete does not locate it after typing the part before the space.


@[blake girardot] but just @bgirardot and as I said, there is auto 
complete so about half the time a two word name shows up and you can 
just select it from the pop down list.


You can also @ more than one person if more than one person contributed 
to the task square. @name1 @name2 etc.


Also, note, that in JOSM, there is an "authors" panel you can display 
because often a square will be all or partially mapped by someone other 
than the person who marked it done, especially with new mappers.


I usually search in josm for building=* and look in the authors panel to 
see who mapped the buildings (or whatever feature I am sending feedback 
about) just to make sure I am @'ing the right person(s).


Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager - Comments

[john whelan]

Yes but it clutters up the messages.  Do you really want to say well done
to someone with 5,000+ OSM edits to their name?

In general I message the new ones with feedback, first five get something,
after that you get nudged if your work doesn't follow the instructions or
the wiki guidelines.  Something like added 43 settlements.  The message
gets through.

Squaring buildings isn't really a big deal there is a wiki somewhere with
how to validate that has the keystrokes, if you find one not square in JOSM
select buildings nodes:-7 I think it is, select user within then hit the q
key.  For the amount of effort to square them in iD I don't think its
really worth it when I can square a hundred in a few seconds.

I might mention JOSM and the building plugin would square your buildings
and be faster.

Which is more accurate between fieldpapers and OSMtracker?


Hi Gertrude,

Lots of good advice so far.

Fieldpapers is literally a print out on paper of either the buildings 
and streets mapped in OSM already or the satellite imagery.


Then you walk around and mark on the paper, on the buildings or the 
imagery, the things you want to enter in openstreetmap later.


Then you go back to a location and take a picture or scan the field 
papers with your notes on them, upload them and can use them in JOSM or 
the iD to then actually map in the data you recorded on the print outs.


So fieldpapers does not rely on gps at all, and is probably the most 
accurate, but is a fair amount more steps to use. Here is a much better 
description of FieldPapers.


http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Field_Papers

BUT you can use a gps and field papers together, so you do not need to 
scan in the field papers.


You would use OSMTracker or OSMAnd to record the data for easy upload, 
AND mark it on the field papers so when you are adding the points to OSM 
you can double check exactly which building or which corner of a 
building the point should go on.


You can also of course add other things on your field paper notes, like 
opening hours and things.


A third option is to use a gps and software that allows you to take a 
picture at the waypoint (OSMAnd does that I am pretty sure), which then 
you can use the picture when uploading your data to confirm exact placement.

Blake

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

Hi Gertrude,

OSMTracker uses GPS - the buttons are normally disabled until you have a
lock. After that, it will give you an estimation of the accuracy of your
location, for example: "Accuracy: 5m". I think they'll probably use the GPS
receiver's hdop (horizontal dilution of precision) figure for this, which
is a standard way of measuring accuracy.

The best accuracy that you can obtain also depends on your environment (do
you have a clear view of the sky? Trees and high buildings or narrow alleys
can cause worse accuracy) and the quality of the GPS receiver and antenna
in the phone. Modern phones should be alright, but you may find some behave
better than others.

Best,
Paul

[Gertrude Hope]

Thank you all for your advice. I was really confused when They reaised The
question for accuracy. I told them that OSM tracker has accuracy of 5m and
They told me that They Want better accuracy like 1M.

[HOT] Groups/areas of Trees=> leisure=park?

[Mike Thompson]

In #1544 (or in any HOT project) are we marking areas that are covered in
trees as leisure = park? Although it is not universally agreed upon, the
tendency in the rest of OSM is to tag these as natural=wood. See for
example [1]. Also, individual trees (represented as nodes) are tagged the
same way and normally those would be tagged natural=tree.

Thanks!  I have made a few more edits since receiving Blake's email using

#MissingMaps be picked up as well?

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

[Russell Deffner]

No problem Gertrude – happy to know I was on the right topic :)

 

That is a bit of comparing apples to oranges, you will probably want to use 
both. I don’t use OSMtracker myself, so not sure the specifics, but if it’s 
using cell tower location vs. GPS, then it may not be very good in Zambia and 
will depend on how many cell towers, signal strength, etc. If it uses the 
phone’s GPS (if it has one) then you should be ok.  Field papers is very 
‘low-tech’ – basically you’re sketching on a map which you can then upload to 
trace/edit from – so it’s only as good as the person drawing. You might also 
think about taking pictures to either use in JOSM, or you can check out 
Mapillary (https://www.mapillary.com/) so you can have a picture/visual when 
you get back to the office for editing.

 

In general, I would suggest a workflow such as:

- Trace as much ahead of time remotely/using imagery – having major roads, 
bigger/landmark buildings will help navigate/use Field Papers

- Have as many people with OSMtracker or a GPS, etc. recording their tracks – 
great for getting roads, etc.

- Have other people with Field Papers, Mobile collection apps, etc. marking 
things like business details (things hard/impossible to see from overhead) and 
taking pictures

 

Then when you go to edit you should use all of the available data to make the 
best map!

 

Most importantly, have fun!

Hi Gertrude,

 

I am not quite sure what kind of ‘accuracy tools’ you’re asking about.  It 
sounds like you will be mapping in the field? If so, GPS units are going to be 
your best bet (unless you have access to professional survey equipment).  We 
often supply our field missions with Garmin Etrex-20 units 
(http://sites.garmin.com/en-US/etrex/). We also often employ field papers to go 
along with/in-replacement of GPS (http://fieldpapers.org/). 

 

There are also many mobile applications for survey/field-data-collection, I 
think this is a good place to start:

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps User Stats

[Dale Kunce]

Mike,
For right now the Missing Maps site is only tracking users that make an OSM
commit using the #missingmaps hashtag. If you use other hashtags at the
same time those edits will be tracked as well.

In the future we hope to allow tracking of all users and all hashtags.

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps User Stats

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Mike,

I can not be sure if this is the cause, but the MM website only shows 
user stats for contributions to projects with #missingmaps in the 
changeset comment.


It looks like #1544's changeset comment had a typo in the default part 
of the changeset comments with no spaced before #missingmaps so it is 
possible that the MM website does not find contributions to #1544 as 
part of the MM project.


I have corrected the typo in the default part of the changeset comments 
so we can see if that fixes things.


The website gets its stats updated every few minutes so any 
contributions, if that was the problem, should show up shortly if you 
want to test it and see. (it will not be able to include previous 
uploads to that project as the changeset comments are already in the osm 
db with the typo)


Regards,
Blake

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Activation WG Meeting

[Russell Deffner]

Hi Mhairi,

 

I thought we were going back to 1500 UTC – 13 is very early for me and our 
friend(s) on the West Coast USA probably won’t want to make that time either. 
Will be a bit better when daylight saving changes in a few weeks. Either way, 
it’s not on the WG calendar, let me know if you need help with that.

[HOT] Management metrics

[john whelan]

Do we know the average number of tiles mapped per day?

Do we know the average number of tiles validated per day?

How many outstanding tiles need to be mapped?

How many outstanding tiles have been mapped but not validated?

The reason this stuff is important is that it gives an indication of
capacity and how far behind we are.  Sometimes I suspect we are overly
optimistic about how much mapping capacity we have and perhaps it is time
to slow down on new activations and even revisit some old ones and ask
other than the missing map value is continuing to map this project of as
much value as one of the more urgent ones?

Thanks John

[HOT] Missing Maps User Stats

[Mike Thompson]

The missing maps website now has a function when you can see your
contribution stats (or anyone else's)[1]. However, when I enter my OSM user
name (tekim) nothing happens.  Does one somehow have to connect one's OSM
user name to missing maps? I have made quite a few edits to the
#hotosm-project-1544
over the past few days.
