Re: [OSM-talk] Foursquare superusers encouraged to directly edit OSM
Great move indeed. I for instance just invited a friend of mine that happens to be a 4sq super-user to edit OSM. He loves 4sq and never cared too much for OSM, now he'll probably give us a little love =) Cheers, Arlindo Nighto Pereira On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 6:05 PM, Johan C osm...@gmail.com wrote: Great move by Foursquare.

Re: [OSM-talk] Foursquare superusers encouraged to directly edit OSM
What am I missing here A use case may be in Syria. Aid agencies want to know, for example, the location of bakeries in Syria because these have been targeted during the ongoing violence over. Someone may have checked into a bakery on FourSquare at lat=34.716286 lon=36.727005. This would then be a location that exists in FourSquare's DB, but not in the OpenStreetMap base mapping that FourSquare use in their website. We cannot, for obvious reasons, send people to Syria to map bakeries, so sources such as FourSquare may be potentially very useful. The number of locations that exist within FourSquare, but not within OSM, are numerous. This is especially true outside of Western Europe or the US.

Hi Stephan You wrote: * User puts a marker on a Google map? Then it's not usable. Do you use foursquare? They switched to osm. * User puts a marker on OSM base map? Then the user can do the same in iD to create the POI The majority of foursquare users wont switch to OSM - the superusers weblink is only a first though promising step. * Coordinate is from a GPS chip in a mobile phone. As we mainly talk about indoor locations No; GPS (like when you are in Syria) will still show you at least the position of the entry of the bakery. So the idea of leveraging OSM data through ressources like the gamified app foursquare, still is a source of information I would'nt ignore.

One strength of OSM is that data is usually more accurate then other sources. We should not give away this by importing data from unreliable sources. This is actually where the foursquare superusers come in. You can read more about what a 4sq superuser ishttp://blog.foursquare.com/2011/05/19/growing-our-superuser-community/, but they take on the responsibility of keeping the foursquare database clean, much in the same way that we do for OSM. Location and detail accuracy is important to that group. Mind you, this is actually an exclusive group of foursquare users. My understanding is that they have to apply or be invited. Even though this thread isn't about bringing foursquare data into OSM (I have no idea what, if any, conversations around that have been held), we should definitely take note that there is an almost parallel community of extremely like-minded editors out there, and we would be lucky to have them join our community.

Re: [OSM-talk] Foursquare superusers encouraged to directly edit OSM
Hi Lester I think, an initial approach would be, that foursquare would offer a subset of their data to OSM with the purpose that mappers can integrate this data into OSM. So the primary POI will be clean OSM data by definition. Obviously there could be duplicates which would be an interesting challenge to sort from the original foursquare database out before offering this to as list to OSM.
