MapTiler is _way_ cheaper and a bit more ethical. Also: you can double dip. When the free tier of mapbox runs out, swap over to MapTiler/StadiaMaps or any other provider of vector tiles.

TL;DR: The canary channel of Windows contains some references which hint that Windows will become a subscription instead of an upfront sale.

Ok! I'm now waiting for my web-app to ve verified. Is there a mailing list I can subscribe to for new features?

Hey @presson, I signed up as dev to get my webapp listed. I stumbled upon your priced plans, and was wondering what a 'direct download link' is and why I would pay $10/month for it.

A PWA is nothing more then a glorified web site, which opens full screen. Security-wise, they cannot do anything worse then a website can. In other words, this is _less_ then a native app can do.

Such a niche map is something that is very hard to pull of. You need a community of millions to contribute geodata, so if such a map is not based on OpenStreetMap, it is destined to whither after a few years. But, don't fret. This is p

Well, it is not as if the OSM-community is a monolithic one. Some people are hardline anti-corporate and don't like this; others are part of a big corporation and see this as business as usual. Even if Lyft would not give back in some

Map Traps (as these are called) are normally pretty harmless, e.g. a non-existent, small cul-de-sac that doesn't exist. A turn restriction (which is quite invisible!) seldom is.

The old server broadcasts a 'this person has moved'-message. Your followers will then automatically switch over to the new account. This implies that: - If the old server is offline or unwilling, you cannot move - Your old toots a

This is something that I'm doing with MapComplete - certain features are 'unlocked' when a certain number of changes has been reached (e.g. when the contributor has >25 changesets, the tags of the data are shown)

Indeed - this is my opinion, not the opinion of "OpenStreetMap". Thanks for pointing this out!

The reason that I haven't pursued a gamification approach with https://mapcomplete.osm.be is twofold: - I'm focusing on other usability issues (and features) first - I'm worried that "mapping for points"

That's what I'm hoping as well. I specifically wrote this essay with the hope that this will be corrected. And I don't think that big, corporate involvement is necessarily evil - but we should hold them to a higher standard a

Hi there! Author here! I take pride in crediting OSM, so it is on multiple places. There even is an entire explanation on why OSM rocks under the 'copyright' tab. It's gonna move soon to be a standalone button. Furthermore, a

With the latest Ubuntu release, it just works with `apt install waydroid`. Got it up and running in literally 3 minutes and with a few mindless clicks.

Maybe an OpenStreetMap-based application works well for you. Organic Maps, OsmAnd and Magic Earth have offline car navigation and (I think) warnings for speed traps.

As hardcore-OSMer: this is pure FUD. There are suspicions, but no hard proof has ever been found about this. However, there is a well-known (and non-problematic) case where OSM-data is used in GMaps. Some polish bus agency used OSM to creat
